New Page On My Website

After a long while of no work on my website I have decided to add a new page. Photography got a big hobby in the last 3 years and it became more important for me since I am not linving in my home country anymore. I got lots of positive feedback about my pictures and this encouraged me to create this special page on my website. Just click on the link in the menu on the left to navigate to my Flickr Bests and you get an overview about my best shots.

To retrieve my images from Flickr I use their impressive API in combination with the Zend Framework Flickr Service.

Work on an own project

Cause I have relaxed the last couple of days its time to come back to business. I have stared an own small project a few weeks ago to learn a little bit more about the Silverstipe Content Management System. At that time I have started to create the data structure and setting up all necessary classes to create all specific pages. Today I have worked on a pretty simple design. As I said its a privte project so it is not so important for me that this is on a very high level in the design perspective. It is more important that I gain a few things by creating that page. Just a short info, I have actualy worked on that page for 2 days. My personal goal is to launch it after 3 - 4 days.

What it is, is a secret until I have uploaded the page.

Currently on hold until I have more time for it.

The work must go on

All right I think this news not a major one but maybe its interesting for someone. I am actualy replaceing the YUI javascript library with jQuery. YUI is an awesome library but a little bit too heavy for normal frontend pages. jQuery is much lighter and it saves a lot of loc. The changes have no influence on the page it self it is more a thing of refactoring. So if there is something wrong on the site its perhaps me who screwed it up.
