Wow i’ve been slow and out of the java loop for the past few weeks, but heres a cool applet/html/swing/ajax mashup from Jasper Potts, Richard Bair and Ken Russell.

I wanted to use K2 Sidebar Module(K2SBM) instead of Wordpress Widgets, now that’s fine because K2SBM has support for Wordpress Widgets. However, as much as i tried i couldn’t get the Flickr Photo Widget from Silaspartners Flickr Photo Gallery to work, i think it has something to do with K2SBM not recognising the options stuff.

The silaspartners flickr plugin is great, it add the ability for you to just be able to click an image and add links to it, but it doesnt link direct to the image, meaning it just dont lightbox! I’ve adjusted the file admin-photos-tab.html in the latest version to give me an extra option of direct linking to the medium image and using the thumbnail as the link image.

Microformats are slowly becoming the norm amongst good web designers, if you have no idea what they are you can get more information at microformats.org. For those that know whats going on, heres a link to a microformats cheat sheet that has been put together by someone.

I just came across blinksale, an online invoicing web app, very nice, very smooth, produces a good looking invoice and is quite customisable. Combine that with 88Miles, an online time tracking web app and we might just have something here.

Imagine being able to track your time on a various project, hit a button in 88Miles and have it start up a new invoice for you in blinksale and vice versa, opening up an invoice in blinksale could provide a link from the invoiced hours to the breakdown in 88miles, all online!

and it sucks.

Who gets paid to make this? there a plenty of companies in perth capable of handling such a big project and keeping it compatible with all browsers and standards, yet for some reason, a big company like BankWest chooses to use someone who can’t deliver the project successfully.

Im currently trying to validate the site, but it seems to be running VERY slow.

Just finished a new site with my mate (Phonic Design), our website will be up soon, in the mean time check out our latest piece of work:
