I’ve started development on Petalsâ„¢ which is a project by Loose Roots.
Petals is a collection of web applications, purpose built, but with future development and expansion in mind.
The main project currently under the ‘Petals’ label is Filer an online file management and distribution application. The first use of filer will be to completely re-create Zelda Sounds with a proper system for administration, decent statistics, a members system and general performance improvements. Filer will provide all of this and also put forward the possibility to eventually white-label the system and provide other administrators the same application to run their websites on.
Another smaller yet just as flexible and useful application is Petals Img a simple Image Manager, great for photography or art websites that don’t need a full CMS but just some way of indexing, and managing the images on their site.
To keep up to date with the development of Petals, keep an eye out at http://petals.looseroots.com alternatively go ahead and just follow the twitter feed: http://twitter.com/petals_
Regards,
Joel

I’ve booked a week off work to go boarding from the 30th of Jan to the 7th of Feb, but currently I’m going by myself!
Looking for anyone who fancies a week or a long weekend boarding or skiing somewhere in the alps. I’ve yet to quite decide where I’m actually going, as finding accomodation and such for one person is proving harder than I’d thought.
I’m not the greatest snowboarder in the world so any levelled people are welcome to come along and join in the snowy goodness
If you fancy it, give me a shout; dayjo@dayjo.org
Cheers!

We had a blizzard last night and Brighton was covered in snow! It very rarely snows here at all so it was a bit of a delight. I wasted no time (after I was told not to go into work) in building a snowman. He is Blaine, and he’s very dangerous.

I also figured I’d take a shot out of my window..

Snow is great, I’m just gutted I don’t have my snowboard so I could go find a hill somewhere!

I got fed up of copy and pasting loads of Rapidshare URLs into new tabs in Firefox. I have the DownThemAll addon, so I figured, why not make something to convert all those URLs into links so that I can set them all going at once.
MultiLinkr.com is an easy tool for converting a page full of useless URLs into clickable links.

A new fantastic book has just been published that I recommend to everyone.
I’ve always been a big dreamer, my sleep has always been filled with vivid, crazy and exciting dreams – and I loved it! After the girl I loved left me, I stopped dreaming completely. For months I woke up, feeling like I’d had no sleep, exhausted and depressed. The concepts and ideas within this book helped me take back control my emotions and my life. Not only did I let go of all anger and bitterness towards her, but I forgave myself for the mistakes that I blamed the breakup on. I have moved on, have never been happier and once again have incredible dreams! http://www.thesecrettolettinggoandmovingon.com/

I don’t like that my content of my blog is all squished up so I’m going to drop down to one side column and stretch the content wider so It gives more space.
I’m doing this because I have the intention of doing some more tutorials for CSS / HTML / jQuery and Photoshop so figure having more content space will be nice.
Currently, I’m working on a couple of cool projects in my spare time, one I’m working on won’t be out for a while, but should be a laugh once it’s done!
Again, I know this is a bit of a mini-blog, but will get back with some more interesting stuff shortly!

I’m supposedly moving house this weekend, I’ve only been in my current place for 4 months, but I knew that I’d have to move out because the land lady is putting students in.
Not moving too far away, much closer to my brother, but significantly further from work, so I can no longer wake up 15 minutes before I start! Think I might get a bike.
I’m hoping (once I’ve settled in), to get myself a nice Keyboard so I can start writing and playing some music again.
So yeah, i’ll write an update in a few days once the move has gone smoothly.

Someone tried to hack the site again, god knows why. There really isn’t anything of interest here haha.
Investigating at the moment, but it appears they tried to place an iframe on the page to an infected website…
Looks like they used a botnet for downloading/uploading the files.. either that or just a load of proxies. I’m hoping it was just a simple password crack so that a reset of all my passwords will fix it.
Cheers for now!
oh, and my house mate has swine flu.. so yeah
