Alright I know I haven’t posted in a while. I’ve been working on various projects for clients.
So now that I have completed one of the three projects that I have been working I thought I would
post something.

Free Gallery Viewer.

I was working on a website that needed a gallery and I made this up.
It works free from databases because it uses a serialized array.

Files located in this zip: Gallery Viewer.zip

Demo here: Gallery Viewer Demo

Login:
Username : user
Pass: Password

please no malicious images or I will take it down, thank you.

Installing:

1. Make sure you have PHP installed on your server.
2. Unzip the file to a folder on your server you want to have the gallery in.
3. CHMOD the directory “galleries” to 757. This folder is where your images will be uploaded to.
4. in the config.php define your user name and password.
5. go to your your new gallery folder and login.

This Gallery Viewer uses JQuery so props to my friend John Resig for creating such an amazing JavaScript Library.
This also uses the Cycle plugin that Mike Alsup created to do all transitions.

Please feel free to edit this code to your fitting. I created it pretty quickly so I don’t know if it has bugs or not.
Constructive feedback is greatly appreciated.

I release this with no warranty AS IS.

Any questions or comments feel free to comment!

NOTE:

• I realize that you can only have one person write to the gallery array file at a time, just make sure you don’t have 2 or more users uploading photos.
• Also I am in the midst of writing a better version that includes GD library functionality so it will resize your photos for you. Currently there is no photo resize available.
• I am writing a script that will install this for you… but I haven’t yet.

So I was looking for software to manage my time better when it comes to doing projects for clients.
I realized that at work we used “Basecamp” which is an online work flow management system.

So I looked into it, asked my boss and he said to check out Basecamp for a small business.

Well let me tell you, it is an amazing system and since I use it for work it was familiar.
If you are looking for software to manage your projects and get your clients involved, take a look at Basecamp!

This is the 2nd part of the typography tutorials. Sorry about all the bad spelling in the last tutorial. I’m not a good speller and it was late… Hopefully it will be better this time

Hopefully if you are reading this you have read my first tutorial. If you haven’t you can read it Here. Read the rest of this entry »

I’ll split this into 2 parts. Mostly because it’s late and I want to go to bed at a reasonable hour.

There are a few words to know about typography before we get into the subject.
It is very subjective, but there are some rules that need to be followed. This may be confusing but I’ll try to make understanding the core concept easy. Read the rest of this entry »

Thought I would get in a quick post before my birthday ends.

Thanks to everyone who wished me happy birthday!
It really meant a lot.
