Archive of updates
My news updates are listed in my RSS feed (what's this?), which you can subscribe to by clicking here.
- 22nd Aug Added a new blog, "The Great Synchronisation". It seems that all of my updates are blogs these days!
- 21st July Added a new blog entry, the first in two and a half months! Join me in the celebration of this momentous occasion by reading it.
- 6th May Added another blog, reviewing Windows 7 RC.
- 5th May I've added a new blog, called "Computing 101 for the indecisive". I've also added permanent links for all my blogs, and you can search through past blogs by name. Incidentally, I'm also currently downloading Windows 7 RC!
- 23rd Mar Wrote new blog, called "Sorry Google, I tried". That's right, two in under a week! I think I need a job.
- 20th Mar As promised, I've updated my design portfolio. It now has my most recent graphic design work.
- 19th Mar Your eyes aren't deceiving you: two separate updates in one day! I've added a instant chat to my site, so you can talk to me if I'm online.
- 19th Mar Made lots of changes to the day theme: sorry if you were browsing while I was uploading and being indecisive! It's getting there.
- 17th Mar Added new blog, "Ok web 2.0, you're not THAT good". Also added the Dilbert daily comic strip widget to my home page, and made a few other changes under the bonnet.
- 24th Feb I answered some burning questions asked in my foobar panelsUI tutorial, where I boldy stated that I would no longer be using panelsUI. I will move to using columnsUI, panel stack splitter and EL playlist. Tutorial coming soon!
- 17th Feb Added my last.fm radio station to my website, as a popup. You can see what I'm listening to, and in many cases listen to it as well! Click on the link at the top left of the page to open the radio, and visit last.fm to see the main site.
- 14th Feb Added a new blog, which you can read here. I also fixed a few problems with the essential albums section, and prettied up the blog a bit.
- 12th Feb Finally added the essential albums section! I've been working on this for a while, as it requires some careful database programming. I've also been tweaking things here and there, and generally making the site more presentable. Still not quite happy with the day theme!
- 5th Feb Added a new tutorial, Understanding and using CSS floats, and finished the PanelsUI tutorial (finally). Also did some little graphics tweaks, such as the blog image for the day theme.
- 4th Feb Mammoth update session, including a hefty rework of the "day" theme, the addition of a cookie-based style changer, fixing the photo gallery in Internet Explorer, adding a favicon and other details here and there. Still have a few unfixed problems...
- 26th Jan I've been developing the essential albums in my music section, which I hope to put up in the next few days. I've also added new links to my links page, and have done some more XHTML validation.
- 20th Jan Fixed some stupid mistakes, like the blog reel on the home page showing more than I wanted, and the navigation things not updating. This is what you get if you develop your website yourself! Also tweaked some of the graphics on the day theme.
- 13th Jan Wrote a new blog, entitled "Blogging is Dead". Head here to read it. I've sorted out all of the broken links with my foobar2000 tutorial, sorry to all the people who couldn't find it!
- 10th Jan Fixed some broken links, and added automated error script that warns me of future problems. Also tweaked "day" theme, to make it look tidier, and attempted to fix a weird scattering problem with the clouds and the sun! Haven't seen it again yet, so fingers crossed...
- 8th Jan New website is live! New tutorials on web design, added comment feature to blog... there are too many changes to mention really. Have a look for yourself!
- 5th Jan Took old joncairns.com off the server, to begin the introduction of the new site. Spent many hours tweaking all aspects of the design, and adding the new content.
- 22nd Dec Incorporated script.aculo.us ajax library for fun movement and minimise/maximise features. Try moving the stuff around in the banner at the top of the page!
- 19th Dec Began total rewrite of my website, from the ground up.
