My first selfmade php+mysql site

robinbos — Tue, 19 Dec 2006 22:43:48 +0000

It’s live at http://robinb0s.nl/school/clipbox_robin. There are a lot of security issues, there must be.. But hey, it’s my first one!
Try to browse the site, some parts will and some parts won’t work. After that signup, login, change/update your profile. Post a message.

All this is using 2 mysql tables > one for the user-part and one for the posts-part.

Please leave your comments and or suggestions on this blog > text or fleck will do ;)

Half-way assessment

robinbos — Tue, 14 Nov 2006 17:53:28 +0000

Hello there, first off all I want to say that some of my fellow minor-students should think better about what they are typing.

Okay, now here it goes for the serious stuff;
Last week we had an assessment, Ray and Renay humiliated us..! Nah, they told us we’re doing quite well, but not good-better-best. We’ve to change (improve) several things in our project-plan. And better overthink our decisions. Which is true. Personally I think there can be more achieved.
Totally Ray and Renay awarded us with nine European Credits (EC’s). Renay told me I didn’t link information(posts) on this blog to the actual product we’re realising. Let me tell him: I did a few times:

Websites are mainly based on typography
“complete post“
moo.fx 2.0
“That one we can use to show/hide additional information about the music video clip which a visitor s currently watching.“
iflim is now ajax-ized
“There are some functionalities we can use in our own project in this, or at least put it in our concept.“

I agree on Renay the other posts aren’t linked to our project..

Also I’ve written a reflection-document, about this first quarter.

Hopefully everybody receives their feedback this week -> “now we wait”

pre-scriptum: this story is based on the original story by robin bos, he had written this post but then there was a browser-reload. *boom* post became history.

Websites are mainly based on typography

Today I’ve been working on the graphical design, and to be more precise: the typography part. First of all there was Google, then there was typography. With various word(combinations) there were a few usefull websites which we are going to use as sources for information about this subject. First of all we got, ofcourse, Wikipedia (NL)(ENG). Not much interesting there if we compare it to the other websites, some mongol may update/ add more information about it on the Dutch version. This one’s in Dutch too, called “Typografie en vormgeving op het net”. (ENG: Typography and design on the net”). If you want to know more about ‘smart using of text on a webpage’, this one’s a must-read. Also I found a website, the URL of it blew away when the window opened, which was claiming the internet consist of ~95% ~~written~~ typed text. The rest is… …the rest.

And last but not least, WebAIM (which is a site for developers who want to think of other people.. people with disabilities! Yes they are not dumb, they only need some extra helping tools (hard or software) to browse the web) has an interesting article about Fonts. A part of the conclusion I made for myselfs is that we have to use “em” or “%”, and not “px”, “pt”, etc.. for the font-sizes. Totally worth reading!

To convert from points (pt) to pixels (px) or ems (em) or percentages (%), this site is usefull. To convert from pixels (px) to ems (em): divide by 16 -> 12px/16=0.75em

Been playing with sIFR

I’ve been playing with sIFR, check the result at this location. Now you’re wondering; “wtf aimbot haxx0r, I don’t see sh#t”, if that == true then you’re a mongol. Select everything (control/apple+a), instructions are present. For the stupid ones out there, use this link.
