Walk Score

Wednesday, July 25th, 2007 by Jumpy James

Picture a walkable neighborhood. You lose weight each time you walk to the grocery store. You stroll home from last call without waiting for a cab. You spend less money on your car—or you don’t own a car. When you shop, you support your local economy. You talk to your neighbors.

I found this site from the many random blogs I use, it’s very useful to find things near you! They are all things within a 1 mile radius that from your house/location that you can walk to!

Cool rainbow!

Thursday, July 19th, 2007 by Jumpy James

This is only from the rain, but it’s cool. Note: I have adjusted the colours so it could be seen as it was washed right out.

Rainbow!

Staying up till 4!

Wednesday, July 18th, 2007 by Jumpy James

I stayed up till 4 last night, creating a nice piece of artwork (in html form) it’s sweet, it all works and it was very quiet at the time! I got back up at 11pm today. It was getting light when I went to bed, and think I will do it again sometime in the future, but all night until about 9 next time!

Walking in the Rain

Friday, July 13th, 2007 by Jumpy James

Today I went out in the rain. I took my umbrella for the initial journey, but when came back I put it down and got wet on the way home. I will do it again, it’s crazy fun!

I got over to the town of Rochdale, to watch and take photos for Team Wheelbase at the Rochdale Road Race on July 4th. There was plenty of action, a crash apparently, it was a little wet on the roads.

Combine XML in 4 lines!

Thursday, July 5th, 2007 by Jumpy James

If you have 2 XML documents that are very similar, you can use these 4 lines of code, obviously you need the code to import the xml. But it works!


for ( i=0; i < add_XML.firstChild.childNodes.length; i++ ) {
var clonedXML:XMLNode = add_XML.firstChild.childNodes[i].cloneNode(true);
this_XML.firstChild.appendChild(clonedXML);
}

What this does is:

  1. Loops over the XML, from the XML you want to append
  2. Clones the node[i] from the nodes in the XML
  3. And then appends it to the XML you want to use, for searching etc.

If your designing a web site…

Tuesday, June 19th, 2007 by Jumpy James

Just take it one step at a time! If you have a hard part, just do it last or when you get the idea that you need to make it look good!
