Adopting the idea taken from the viable solution mentioned in the previous post, I've started work on my own upload progress tracker. It's providing me with an interesting oppertunity to work on my new base JavaScript libraries (with much inspiration gleaned from prototypeScreenshot of the development ( Read more... )

Today I ran into my first unavoidable, un-workaroundable ( *) limitation of PHP. An amazing new JavaScript/Ajax trick was added to rails recently that creates a file upload progress bar (video of it in action). Instantly inspired, I started laying the groundwork for my own attempt at implementing one of ( Read more... )

the addon madness continues!

today, after a lengthy bout of research, I bring you front-page news feeds powered by MagpieRSS. While Magpie isn't actually a PEAR library (which I prefer over all else as it makes installation by others far easier) it is easily installed as one and is quite self-contained. I ( Read more... )

I've been doing some reading up on the MVC paradigm, a result of my recent research of ruby on rails. It's something I've toyed around with a lot over the past few years, but never really looked at seriously until now. I suppose that my aversion to it was primarily my bias towards Java and my rather short- ( Read more... )

playing around some with phpdocover the past few days I've been again motivated to play with hydrogen again and I've been working on a ground-up reimplementation including a lot of work on taking advantage of new PHP features, mostly in the area of object-orientation. I'm also starting to do a lot of ( Read more... )
