The MaxCap website was designed to go along with the MaxCap client to allow a user to manage their images after uploading them. The website contains many features that are standard for image hosting sites as well as a few that aren't. While the site might look generic and a few bits may look off, the site is rich in functionality so please don't judge it by its looks.

Features:

Image management page
Login and register system
Password reset system
Image renaming
Image deletion
Upload

My personal website, this website, is my second real go at implementing the FCP pattern, while other sites did use an FCP pattern it is rather slow and sluggish, something wrong quickly. This site uses a new system. This site took me a decent amount of time to make because I kept having to redesign it and every time I did that I'd want to re-write the backend of the site too, since I find that much more fun to do.

Most of the site was made by me, the only part that isn't is the encryption Read More..

This is something I wrote real quick while I was bored, it is pretty much an exact copy of the C# timer control made in JavaScript. It's pretty useful because you don't have to use the horrible setTimeout, setInterval and clearInterval functions. I don't know how cross browser compatible it is but I can say it will work on any browser that supports setTimeout, setInterval and clearInterval. Download with documentation. Read More..

This is something I made a while back for a college project, it's a fairly basic image slider library designed to automate image sliders. You give it the id of an image tag as well as a transition type and a transition speed and it will automate it. 

It's also got some nice functions for manually scrolling, changing the speed and changing the transition that is currently being used. Please don't be too harsh on it because I wrote it when I was just getting to know JavaScript so it's bound to Read More..

This is my most recent JavaScript project, it is a "dragging" library. Which means you run one method (Similar to JQuery) and it makes a HTMLObject draggable. It is pretty great because it has lots of extra support for things like containers so you can restrict where the object can be dragged as well as handles which mean that you will only be able to drag the object by the handle. It is very useful and is used in my project TaskTracker (Upcoming). Download and documentation Read More..

This is a site I made for a university student starting a business, it is a photography website which made it slightly challenging because you need to strike a balance between quality and performance. My solution to this was to cap file size on image upload and run compression tools (Set to about 65% quality) on the file before "saving it".

The site took me around 4-5 days to make and features my default FCP single point of entry system as well as an admin control panel for updating the about Read More..

It's been a while since I've wrote a blog post and my original post was a little controversial, so that can only mean it's time for another blog post!

I'm going to be discussing, or rather ranting, about the pressure to use a framework in all aspects of web. Obviously in something like ASP it's impossible to avoid the use of a framework as the .NET framework is a part of modern ASP. But I don't write ASP so I won't be talking about that, I'm talking about JavaScript and PHP.

When you go over Read More..

MKI is a company which develop advertisements and such for companies like Best Western. When they originally approached me they asked for a main site for their company which eventually turned into a specialized site for Best Western.

The site is jammed full of features, but many disappeared after MKI wanted to take the site in a different direction, despite me already creating them. So I will be listing all of the features, rather than the limited set it was left with:

In one of my newer websites I've been adding fancy CSS3 effects, I've used them before but not as much as this. In my time doing this I had an issue, a menu would scroll down on load, because of the transition slowing the movement down. The transition was there for when you change sections, so you select one and the others smoothly scroll into another position but with the height being set on load (Due to me wanting backwards compatibility and thus not using calc) it scrolled down on load too. Read More..

TaskTracker is a project I started a long time ago as a 24/h challenge project. But with other ideas in my head, ones far more exciting than it, I quickly dropped it in favour of those. If you're gonna hobby program, why not hobby program fun projects, huh? But a the backend was already done by the time I dropped it so it's been on my mind ever since. Over the past week I've been finishing it up and re-writing parts of it to finally finish it.

It's not a particularly complicated service, Read More..

Recently a co-worker of mine had a problem, he wanted to make a generic base class to reduce code duplication but he needed some variables, that would always be the same, from the child class.

He searched Google and StackOverflow a good amount for this issue but ultimately was unable to find anything on it and thus came to me. I, expecting it to be a basic access modifier issue, told him to make his variables protected static so it could be shared between the classes but that didn't work, Read More..

I spend a lot of my time watching YouTube videos, but most of them are under an hour and the people I watch pride themselves on quality, which means they spend a long time editing their videos (Audio, mostly) and rendering in many different qualities. The result of this is that even 10 YouTubers do not produce content faster than I can consume it, which is where Twitch comes in.

The nature of Twitch removes the editing and rendering aspect from the video making process, whilst retaining a Read More..
