Flash page flippers

Looking for a free dynamic one, but these come close:

Flash Page Flip: ASP, XML, and Free options

Pageflip.hu - Static (free), Dynamic for 45 euros

And the also aptly-named Page-Flip.com - for the low-low price of $25.

I tried the totally free version from the first link, and aside from a link to their site, it totally works. I’m fine with even leaving it in there. Neat!

Free 3D Icons

And this time they’re even nice!

Gotta get em all - view at Wikimedia.

Photo Manager

This is the result of my endevours with SWFUpload and a lot of ajax.

Access

I hate Access and I really have to try to never work with it again.

The ever-useful javascipt email check

Found some great code at the super-useful Quirksmode

http://www.quirksmode.org/js/mailcheck.html

Modified it for my use…

/**************************************
/ Function: checkEmail
/ Args: email - email as string
/ Description:
/ Check whether an email is valid
/ Returns: true or false
**************************************/

function checkEmail(email) {
var regex = /^([a-zA-Z0-9_\.\-])+\@(([a-zA-Z0-9\-])+\.)+([a-zA-Z0-9]{2,4})+$/;
if (regex.test(email)) return true;
else return false;
}

AJAX-y image uploaders

I need the ability to upload images for actually quite a few projects I’m working on.

Here are some solutions I’ve found:

Via Flash - I think I’m going to use this for now because it’s out.

Moo Uploader - This one looks very cool, and uses the also cool MooTools javascript library… buuuut it’s not out yet. I suppose I could steal the source code, as some people have mentioned in the forum where I found this link, but I don’t have that kind of time, and the previous flash method looks very neat.

LightLoader - This is what I tried to use last night, but it doesn’t give enough feedback I think. I want something that can fire an event when it’s done, and there are like 10-15 files that make up this uploader. Again, I’ll see what the Flash version offers and write a followup post outlining what I’ve accomplished.

Take the leap….

I’m going to start designing for 1024×768 resolutions. I looked around online, and in my own log files at screen resolutions, and only about 8-12% of people have their resolutions set at 800×600. The majority of them have it at 1024×768 or higher. Now I have to memorize a number other than 770… 924? Just seems like a weird number to me. heh.

When it rains it pours…

From the deadpool and esoderek to deadpool, esoderek, mak-it-yurs, dconstruction, mewandmoo, and hell toss in theinfiniteshelf… i’ve got a lot on my plate suddenly, and a burning desire to finish it all.
