Skype Emoticons

Friday, January 27th, 2006

There are normally some hidden emoticons in Skype. I just ran strings on the skype.exe and it revealed:

MRTG Google Module

Saturday, January 21st, 2006

I wrote a Google module that uses php and AJAX to present the user with the various graphs that are available from their MRTG configuration. The AJAX part comes in when you click the different titles, to load the appropriate graph. I’ll try to make the module available for download soon.

Ajax

Thursday, January 19th, 2006

I started playing with Ajax today and reworked the www.chucksteel.com website to use it. I’m most proud of the part where I use the element.GetHeight and effect.MoveBy statements to find the difference in content length and move the footer accordingly.

My biggest problem (in my mind) is that my CSS skills are still pretty weak. I guess everything comes with time and patience.

Hello world!

Going to try and setup chucksteel.net for blogging stuff.

I’m not exactly sure why yet, though.

About chucksteel.com

Thursday, January 19th, 2006

This is my personal website. It serves a few puposes:

  • A convenient place to get up to date information about me, Chuck Steel.
  • Pulls in data from other sources, like Flickr and del.icio.us.
  • A place for me to host programming projects.

Mostly, though, it’s a blog that isn’t updated nearly as often as it should be.

Gotta get better about this…anyway…

Lesson in parenting from last night:
Keep the diaper under the butt until you’re absolutely ready for the next one. This will help avoid accidents which require outfit changes.
