Posts on the topic of my own personal projects or projects that I partake in.
The Vodafone website in Iceland has just undergone a redesign. It was designed by the amazing web agency Kosmos & Kaos, which is also based in Iceland.
I’m very grateful to have been able to partake in the project. I helped with the CSS, initial HTML and most of the Javascript interactions on the website, and I’ve got to say I’m pretty proud of the work. That includes some nice CSS3 effects, a custom parallax slider, the modern dropdown menu etc.

I’ve recently set up ShortPHP at github.com so you can fork the project or create contributions of your own and submit them.

Currently we have 729,255 records in the database. That’s 3 MB of data.
Great news people.. I had almost given up on getting any spam. Thought that the spammers would be afraid of anything that talks too much about spam on it’s page, but it seems that they’ve finally found the site and are posting to it. I just hope the post count will increase, but this is [...]
I think my previous excitement was unfounded … probably was just some guy playing around, not a real bot… But I’m patient.

Great news people.. We have the first set of spam in the house… Now we’re finally in “business”
Ok. Now we have the basic functionality of posting and reading from forms ready. I tried to keep the form very simple so any spambot should be able to submit into it. So far there are no entries, which is not surprising, really. It will take some time for the bots to crawl my website [...]
I’m setting up the Tumblr blog. Will be using that for all blog posts and information about the website’s progress.
