Creating an AJAX Image Carousel
I happened to be looking for a better way to show a preview of my web albums when I came across Prototype-UI which is a suite of user-interface components. Their carousel component was just want I need to spruce up my site design. The only problem was that documentation on the site is quite sparse and it took me a while to get things sorted out.
Crossroads
New year, new me. I can’t help but be excited about change. But in order for change to happen I have to push myself out of this self imposed slump of monotony. It’s scary having to make a decision about ones future because of the fear of failure – something that I have let rule too many of my decisions in the past.
Comment Spam
The SPAM bots have finally found my site. I figured it was only a matter of time before the fact that I allowed for anonymous comments would be exploited. So I decided to implement the CAPTCHA system them I used for my registration page. Hopefully, this small little adjustment will be enough to divert the bots attention to other sites.
Decided on a hosting provider
It’s was sad day, but my server finally died on me. Unfortunatly, I just don’t have the money to replace it so I decided it was time to get a hosting provider. It was really difficult to decide on a provider because I was so used to having total control over my box. Plus, I like to live on the edge and have the latest and sometimes experimental versions of software. With all this in mind, I settled on HostingRails.com.
