Old idea, new implementation really.

I’ve ported my javascript slideshow to jQuery and this is what came about:

jQuery Blinds

Letters & numbers Map Icons

I have been fooling around with photoshop scripting today and I tried creating something practical as an exercise.

So this turned out:

It’s a simple icon set to be used with interactive maps.

The file contains 3 color variations of all capital latin letters and numbers from 0 to 99 in PNG format.

Enjoy and let me know if something nice comes out of this!

Guitar Tabs PHP Class

Vassilis — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 17:12:23 +0000

Starting this blog (again!) I found my self wondering about forgotten projects I might want to post here.

Somewhere in the mess that is my projects backup folder I found this sweet little thing that someone might like to put to good use.

The class accepts lyrics text with tabs included using a specific notation (see example).

It outputs formatted lyrics with the tabs included.

Documentation is at a bare minimum, but then again there’s not much to explain

You can check/tweak the code your self if you have basic PHP knowledge.

Enjoy!

Moving old projects to blog

Vassilis — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 13:44:00 +0000

My old projects for this site have been moved to this blog.

They are:

CSSMiniCharts: a php library for simple CSS bar charts
Project slideshow: a javascript slideshow using CSS sprites

CSSMiniCharts

CSSMiniCharts library contains 2 php functions:

lwtMiniVerticalBarChart()
lwtMiniHorizontalBarChart()

You can use these functions to display quick summary statistics in tables or even inline within the your paragraph text.

CSSMiniCharts Project page

Project Slideshow

A simple Javascript slideshow featuring smooth transition making use of CSS sprites.

Note: This is probably not compatible with jQuery as it uses a prototype-like implementation of $()

Slideshow’s project page

These are kinda old and unmaintained projects. Please do get back with any comments on these.
