Ajax is hot

Website

For those who don't know i'm releasing my site on christmas eve after i took it down for work. The blue and white templete sucked ass so i now have a much nicer one which i decided to do black and red. I also told people i was going to use more ajax on the site which is what i have been doing today. I have done various ajaxy things like for file uploading but probably the best thing i did using ajax was my active users list. Have you noticed how on this site the list doesn't update unless you refresh the page or click a link? Well on my site you can just sit there and stare at it without touching anything and it will update. I sat for about 30mins watching earlier because it's so sexy. The next job is to finish the forum off which i'm adding buttons on the thread creation form to automatically insert bbcode tags and i'll hopefully have that done by the time i release the site.

Arcs banning spree

Yes I just got banned twice in the space of 10 minutes. I was proudly boasting how i hadn't been banned from 64digits for 5 months then this happens :p Well that didn't count because i didn't do nuffin!

hmm can't think of anything else to blog, bye bye.

Ya, in BTT we had to use DW and I decided to screw it and just do my site in Npad. I can't stand fiddling with menus

You planning to also include a URL upload system? Could probably even make it check for the http:// part and choose to load from URL or not

Dreamweaver is your amazing shortcut to web dev. Very few people are into hard-coding, me being one of them.
Yes I don't use a WYSIWYG editor I prefer hard coding.

Perhaps i could give an alternative to upload from a URL but i got more important things to code at the moment.

Heh, and yeah, the new layout is pretty good. I gotta check the AJAX out… I'll re-comment when I look at it.

Yeh i'm working on it due to a problem with Firefox (Dam you to hell FF) so it might not be working right at the moment.

The only good thing about Dreamweaver was the FTP and code completion. No real web developer uses a WYSIWYG editor.

Aptana is basically Dreamweaver without the WYSIWYG, which makes it 1337.

Wow, you're an idiot.

Wow calling someone an idiot who has an urge to ban people.. is that wise?
