The Pro Shop that I developed at Computa Services for the Carnoustie Golf Links, is now live. It uses concurrent AJAX, calling a lightweight PHP+XML web service layer to communicate with a Microsoft SQL Server. The management application that the staff at the Links use to administer the bookings is written in C#, using C# [...]

I recently created an application called Karaokidex to index, rate and play (using KaraFun) karaoke tracks (mp3+g) for use during karaoke shows, and it had it’s live debut on 3rd May at the Red Lion Caravan Park in Arbroath. It also allows you to rate each track, allowing you to differentiate between different versions of [...]

We both got a bit fed up about having to keep the recycling box that Angus Council provide in the house, so I decided to build a outside recycling cupboard. It also stores the cardboard recycling box too. There was a bit of an issue with the front doors expanding during the week of heavy [...]

The online tee-time booking system that I developed at Computa Services for the Carnoustie Golf Links, is now live. It uses concurrent AJAX, calling a lightweight PHP+XML web service layer to communicate with a Microsoft SQL Server.

I’ve been playing about with a multi-threaded download manager for RapidShare in C# for a while now and I was looking around for better version control than a Windows Briefcase directory. Since this is a personal project, I didn’t want to use our SVN code repository at Computa, so I had a look at Google [...]

I’ve added PicLens support to all of my galleries. The required RSS feed is dynamically generated using PHP as are the thumbnails so you would only have to provide a gallery of images. I’ve zipped up the code here.

I’ve been waiting a while for The Courier (my local paper) to provide an RSS feed for their news stories. Anyway, I decided to do one myself. I’ve zipped up the code here and I’ve hosted it on my employer’s server here. Give me a shout if you find an errors or improvements.

While reading the latest installment of the CodeProject newsletter, I thought I’d highlight some of the useful topics: AJAX-style Asynchronous Progress Dialog for WinForms – A base class for adding a rich asynchronous progress animation to any Form xml to json – convert xml to json – faster, stronger and more comfortable Running a Web [...]

Further to the previous post, I am using javascript to parse times in the form “09:00″ selected from a drop down list. To get the hours and minutes, I was using the following code: … var theHours = parseInt(theTimeDDL.options[theTimeDDL.selectedIndex].value.substring(0,2)); var theMinutes = parseInt(theTimeDDL.options[theTimeDDL.selectedIndex].value.substring(3,5)); … Unfortunately, the above will return 0 for the values of 08 [...]

I had to find an AJAX library that could handle multiple concurrent calls for a project that we are currently updating. I came across this one that does the job superbly.
