They might get old, but he never will. LOL!

A new revolutionary (LOL!) tool is available over at logon2, it’s called ‘Lovely Caption Maker‘ - if the title didn’t give that away. Lovely Caption Maker was inspired by a beautiful effect that can be found at some of the more tech-savvy Australian Media websites such as The Age and Fox FM. I think ABC was the first place I saw this effect. (more…)

Multi-Comments on myLook

Saturday, March 15th, 2008

Secretly, the myLook team has been working away at the second attempt at myLook (hopefully this generation is a little bit better). Once nifty feature I’ve just added is Javascript-driven comments.

Here’s a sample - try to ignore the bland look, Alex hasn’t finished the designs. You can have a look at it yourself, if you like at the new myLook website.

myLook’s New Comment System

 myLook.cc’s new comment system lets users make comments exactly what they’re talking about, and lets users see the comments they want to see (or not see the ones they don’t)

Keep your eyes open for a how-to guide for the Javascript Show/Hide business on the logon2 blog…

Knock knock?
Who’s there?
Interrupting cow.
Interuppti… Moo!
Int.. Moooooo!

More ProjectPier Troubles - Email Alerts

Saturday, March 15th, 2008

I personally think that the latest release of ProjectPier may have been released prematurely. Just by looking at my last day of posts, you might see that there were two pretty serious issues straight after installation. Well, I found another one!

After finally getting ProjectPier to send emails through the Mass Mail tool, I thought that all systems were go. However, that’s not true. Today, I didn’t get any email alerts, even there was activity in a project - something was wrong. Again, I found my way back to the ProjectPier website where Tim (not me had come up with a solution.

The problem is in the following files:

  • language/en_us/errors.php
  • language/en_us/site_interface.php
  • application/models/notifier/Notifier.class.php

You need to replace all occurrences of ‘recepient‘ with ‘recipient‘.  This includes plurals so recepients needs to be changed to recipients, too.

Looks like somebody didn’t check their code ;) It’s cool though, I know it’s easy to do. Somebody that’s part of the project should recompile it with these fixes. Not me though, I’m not part of it (yet).

Why didn’t the bath trust the toilet? Because the toilet was full of shit! (I actually made that one up - I’m a joke master)

ProjectPier Email and Upload Problems Solved

Friday, March 14th, 2008

One of my subjects, “Enterprise Engineering”, requires us to form a group to work on a project. Since my group only really gets together once a week, I used this as an excuse to install something I’ve wanted to for ages - ProjectPier. After registering this domain, it was the first thing I set up. ProjectPier was really impressive - it is just as good as, if not better than 37 Sinals’ “Basecamp”, except it’s free! But I soon realised that ProjectPier wasn’t so great…

You really should change the theme, the default one’s a bit 90’s.
