Experiment 20090529

Experiment 20090529 Another SVG/jQuery medly, Experiment 20090529 plays witht he SVG canvas, a circle, animation, and finishes with a little DOM manipulation, proving that I can add SVG animation to the background of virtually anything.  This opens up some interesting possibilities.  For example, I always wondered how one could construct an interface like a database

DynaCloudlet

DynaCloudlet v0.1 – another bookmarklet.  Drag to your favorites/bookmarks, visit any web page, then click the bookmark.  I’ll explain it tomorrow when I have more energy. Note: this has not been extensively tested, but worst-case scenario, it just will not work or will throw an error.  Good luck. ———- [UPDATE 2009-05-29] As promised, more info…

Steve’s Fingers (for 5/27)

What are Steve’s fingers doing now?   Steve’s Fingers Note: requires an SVG-capable browser. If you keep your browser fresh-smelling with upgrades, you should be OK.  (Google Chrome doesn’t like it.  There’s always gotta be one.) This application graphs Steve‘s fingers as he types his stories (not in real-time, unfortunately, but maybe in a future release).

Experiment 20090526 (now “Rose Clouds”), Part II: OK, here it is.

Rose Clouds (formerly “Experiment 20090526″) – it’s just something relaxing to watch.  Carianne, I hope you don’t mind me stealing a bit of rose.

script block

I’ve got script block.

Experiment 20090525

Today’s script is called a bookmarklet.  It’s a script which is embedded in a bookmark in your browser.  After you’ve bookmarked this one, you can go to most anyweb site*, click it, and watch what it does to the page. Experiment 20090525 Drag the above link to your bookmarks bar, or right-click it and select

Experiment 20090524

Experiment 20090524 plays with dimensions and begins to explore randomness and likelihood.  It is inspired by The Only Man. Future experiments will build on some of the concepts here. ———– [UPDATE 2009-05-24 15:25] I am shocked to discover that FF3 on a PC cannot display this application correctly because of abug  for which there is apparently no workaround right

Poetic Redux

Poetic Redux v 0.1 PR eats blog posts for breakfast, be they poetry, or stories, or emotional rants, and rewrites them a little bit.  This experiment makes use of the jQuery UI.  Specifically, I used the ‘South Street‘ css theme and the jQuery UI datepicker and tabs widgets.  PR uses AJAX and a PHP proxy

RSS Invaders

UPDATE 2009-05-23 09:07 I just couldn’t leave well enough alone, now could I? RSS Invaders v 0.2.1 adds music, improves collision detection a little, and should have improved performance by a lot, although to be honest I’m not seeing it.  I don’t know if that’s a side effect of the flash being present to stream

100 Days: 100 jQuery-based scripts

This year, I’m participating in 100 Days, a little project started by Steve Ersinghaus and Carianne Mack (now Garside) which puts creativity to a test of time, stamina, and rhythm. The rule is, you have to do your thing every day for 100 Days. Also, the works should be interrelated somehow.  Steve has all the
