If you know me, then you know I like to make things run fast. I like testing performance of my software. So with a recent website, I noticed that I query a tiny database table a lot. There surely is a faster why to do it, and with Linq statements you can query in memory objects like Sql. Nice…? Read the rest of this entry »
Could someone explain the following to me. I have a page with a couple of buttons on it. They sit nicely next to each other with a nice gap. Here’s the Html (webforms): Read the rest of this entry »
Sorry for reopening this old debate, but I have been struggling with getting my head around this concept but came to a conclusion of my own. Read the rest of this entry »
This weekend saw the launch of an idea I have been having for a week or so while now. I have a great yoga teacher, but when she is unable to run a block of classes am kinda lost. Where should I go? Who should I speak to? ARGH!! Ok it’s not that stressful, but it can be annoying, and I guess there are tonnes of people out there in similar boats from time to time.
So when a friend and colleague, said the same thing, I thought it was about time to do something. When we were talking about the problem, we thought that maybe running a directory but one that was a rating site as well, would be a good idea. That way, you can see a list of teachers in your area, and how others rate them.
So http://ratemyyogateacher.co.uk was born. Now I have found a couple of other sites that do something similar, but they just don’t look appealing, or very easily useable. So what will I bring to it. Well am not sure yet. It’s just new. So go along to the site and register for the updates to the site. I will let you know when it goes live…
Like many of you out there that use Google Maps, when v3.0 of it came out you jumped at the chance to use it! But I couldn’t get the multiple markers, multiple info windows to work, no matter what I found on Google’s site.
Searching got me to this blog:

And it states this guy is writing a book on this very subject. So this should have the answer. Well bollocks it did! Stop writing your book now matey! Read the rest of this entry »
Many of you that read my blog The few of you that read my blog may have seen that I have been helping a good friend Donna, build her website and promote her charity Fighting Cancer with Music. She is currently promoting an event in Taylor, Texas for her friend Jenny Tepernning:
So if you read this and you are in that area, please head along and find out more.
What’s also cool is this allowed me to post my first blog on the awesome blog site Elephant Journal. Waylon Lewis was kind enough to let me post about what is Donna is up to. He has a phenomenal following of regular 30K visitors, with 170K more than visit at least once a month. So hopefully this will help Donna out in ways that I could never have possibly done. Thanks Waylon!

I was shown last week a new virtual server setup from Fasthosts. It’s pretty awesome, and it comes with Windows 2008 therefore IIS 7.0, and then you can add SQL Server 2008 Express edition for free. So basically a lovely big chunky new server for a small amount of money, less than my current server! Read the rest of this entry »
It’s been a few weeks now that this website went live, but I was busy with http://tiny.projecttime.co.uk/ so blogging about it was put to the side.
Yoga Glasgow, run by Siobhan Fitzgerald, is another yoga school based in Glasgow. It was also another site run on an open source CMS engine, Joomla again I believe, and the developer didn’t know really much at all about design. I say again I don’t know much about design, no formal training, but I know what looks good. Read the rest of this entry »
