Family photos, vacation snapshots or creative artistic works: whatever images you have to present, you can present them in a variety of ways. On a big screen, in slide shows or in a thumbnails gallery. However, to convey the message of presented data effectively, it’s important to offer it in an attractive and intuitive way.

I would really like to make this site a portfolio of things I can do. Not necasarily this blog part of it, but this site anyway. I have started a few little basic things, but I need to come up with more design ideas and skills to show off. Once I have done that I might just move this blog to a deeper part of the domain and have some other stuff at the front.

Another great digg find.
This tutorial will teach you how to create pretty looking textual buttons (with alternate pressed state) using CSS. Dynamic buttons save you heaps of time otherwise spent creating graphics and will basically make you a happier person at the end of the day.

Check this out. I found it at digg.
If you are a big Mac fan, you will love this CSS dock menu that I designed. It is using Jquery Javascript library and Fisheye component from Interface and some of my icons. It comes with two dock styles – top and bottom. This CSS dock menu is perfert to add on to my iTheme. Here I will show you how to implement it to your web page.

Okay, so I have a Windows Server 2003 box that I am trying to use as my web server. Problem is, I have no idea how to configure it. I added DNS as a server role, but I am not too sure about some of the settings, so I am sure it is not up and working yet. I did manage to get MySQL installed on it, but I am not too sure on how I would go in and create tables if needed. PHP I have yet to install. This task is not as easy as run the install file and choose a directory. From what I gather you have to edit some .ini file like you would have to do with a Linux program. That is why I am not using a Linux server. I did, however, learn the Photoshop techniques for creating the new banner up there.

Okay so today I did complete something worth talking about. I did read over this very nice tutorial about CSS pop-out menus. I was use this at work for a HTML desktop item we use. I just wish you could get the desktop items to resize instead of using scroll bars.

Wow, two posts in one night!
Okay so I was thinking about this whole moving everything to my server and hosting my own domain thing and realized that it has been a goal of mine that has been simply that for too long. Now I am not promising anything, but I really should make some sort of progress soon. I am currently using Windows Server 2003 and it has done the job as a file server thus far. Well, except for the fact that it’s not a “Genuine” copy and every time I lose power or I have to restart the server I can’t log into it. I have set it up a few times a couple different ways and it happens each time. This really don’t bother me since all I do use it for is a file server and I am still able to access and move files to and from the file share via my XP desktop no problem. I now have a couple of 180 trial keys that I could use if needed. I just have to do the old wipe the partition and reinstall windows crap again. The thing is, is that I would really rather use Unix/Linux instead. As I have read many times over it’s a much better platform for running a web server on. Also, it is really free as opposed to free if you steal it. (I feel so ashamed :p) And I am really taking an interest in IT security and to really learn that I would really need to know how to use Unix/Linux system. So recently I downloaded Ubuntu and I even installed it on my desktop so I dual boot Windows XP and Ubuntu. I have to say that I like it and it is pretty friendly for a n00b like myself. I was able to install the greatest browser ever, Opera. I had problems with this in the past using Ubuntu, but that was many versions ago. Also, Opera now offers specific install packages for Ubuntu and it did not in the past, just those general Linux installs and that is the stuff I have problems with. However, I was able to install the Flash Player plug-in and I had to use the sh command in the terminal. Woot, progress. (I think)
