I had the Music Played Script taken down for the past few weeks, Audioscrobbler have been doing some work on their servers and there has been quite a bit of downtime. To work around this I’ve put a timeout setting to the script so that it doesn’t effect the load time of the site. In the near future I’m going to add MySQL functionality to all of my RSS scripts to save on load time, and they will update every hour, instead of every time the page loads.

I’m also working on the rest of my scripts so that I can put them on the PHP scripts page, need to make MySQL table scripts and other such things for them to make them easier for others to install.

My Portfolio page will be updated quite soon with some Multimedia examples including a flash application download. 2 Weeks break coming up, so plenty of time for work on the site!

There we go all of the scripts I set out to get going for this site are now functional. I’m afraid now it’s a bit cluttered, so don’t be surprised if certain sections get turfed after a while. Now it’s onto the content on the other pages. Web Development and Graphic Design will just have info on the services I provide in those areas and a few examples. PHP scripts will have some of the scripts I’ve made in zip files for anyone to download, some of them contain code from tutorials and people helping me on forums so I need to go through it and make sure I give credit where credit is due, other people may like the layout and the output style I’ve done to the scripts. If you’re looking for a third party script these days it’s actually quite hard to find an absolute basic version, everything is competitive and feature rich, when most of the time all I want is the absolute basic function. This is probably a good thing I guess because it forces me to either make my own script or super modify a third party one, which helps me learn more about PHP. The photo gallery is also up with a few photos on it. I can now start blogging about less geeky stuff now, but screw you if I want geeky stuff on here I will, dang nabbit.

Wow, I actually have put something on this website….2 years in the making!

My head totally hurts now. too much messing around trying to sort out this blog script, yeah as you can see by the bottom of this page I am using a third party script but I had to edit a fair chunk of stuff and that just ain’t a smart thing to do on a Sunday. Never mind though, it’s just after midnight and I have a good supply of beer. The next step is to get the links script done, which is just a slight change to something I’ve already made. Then I need to setup the news headlines and weather, that’s a new thing for me becuase I’m using RSS feeds to gather the headlines / info, and I haven’t really messed with that before so that will be a new thing for me. Then it’s simply the Misc files, which I have a script for already, then I need to mess with the code to make the page XHTML transitional so I can put a purty thing at the bottom of the page, as well as CSS validated. I wish the image for that were nicer, maybe I’ll make my own. After all that all I need to do is add the content on the other pages, add the photo gallery script and badabing badaboom I’m all done! A few days work after having an under construction page on this domain for the last 2 years. Hell i’m lazy. I’m still trying to decide whether I’ll make the photo gallery public or just private with usernames for my friends. I think I’ll make it private, but then again I think you can make each album public or private with the gallery script so I won’t need to decide.

Anyhoo…
