Feminine Hijinx 32

14th Jun 2007 01:37am

Susie, Stephanie and Kim, also known as the Feminine Hijinx, are back after over a month and after listening to it earlier I counted that the F word was said a load of times and the amount of times I laughed was uncountable. Anyway they're back with their 32nd pod cast and in this one they are talking amount things like reusable menstrual pads, slagging off old grannies and just having a right old good laugh.

AJAX aint that bad...

14th Jun 2007 01:13am

I have spent almost all day creating my own Instant Messenger made with HTML, CSS, PHP, MySQL and AJAX. As bad as I thought AJAX was when looking at it, to be honest it is not exactly too hard. The one thing I do like about it is that it refreshes a page for you without refreshing in a sense. So you could be filling in a form and it can refresh the page and allow you to continue typing uninterrupted. For those of you who don't know what AJAX means, basically its an acronym of Asynchronous JavaScript and XML and is basically JavaScript and XML together as the meaning explains.

Anyways, here is a code snippet to make the page refresh without refreshing, great if it's attached to a RSS Feed, so you can have live news on a web page without even refreshing manually.

Place the following code in the <head> </head> tags:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
//Browser Support Code
function ajaxUpUp(){
     // Basically determines what browser the viewer is using
     var ajaxRequest;

     try{
          ajaxRequest = new XMLHttpRequest();
     } catch (e){
          try{
               ajaxRequest = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
          } catch (e) {
               try{
                    ajaxRequest = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
               } catch (e){
                    alert("Error");
                    return false;
               }
          }
     }
     // Create a function that will receive data sent from the server
     ajaxRequest.onreadystatechange = function(){
          if(ajaxRequest.readyState == 4){
               var ajaxDisplay = document.getElementById('ajaxDiv');
               ajaxDisplay.innerHTML = ajaxRequest.responseText;
          }
     }
     ajaxRequest.open("GET", "test.php", true);
     ajaxRequest.send(null);
}
// Refreshes the above code every 1 second
setInterval('ajaxUpUp()', 1000);
//-->
</script>

Within the BODY tag add this property
onload="ajaxReadChat()"

Then add this following piece of code where you want your content from the AJAX page to go.
<div id="ajaxDiv"></div>

And hey presto! You have finished it.

New Layout?

13th Jun 2007 14:16pm

Hmmm... I am just thinking if I should redesign the site, yet again? I am getting a tad bored of this green now. I want something that is in your face, like how the previous yellow, blue and green theme was. I will make up a few ideas over the next few days, start designing it and show you lot.

Diana: The Witnesses in the Tunnel

6th Jun 2007 20:12pm

Well it is the first commercial break of this years most controversial program on television. So far it seems pretty decent, I am recording it on Sky+ too so I can watch it over again. Well it is back on now. Here is what Channel 4 has mentioned about it.

Diana: The Witnesses in the Tunnel
Diana, Princess of Wales was perhaps the most photographed person in the world. Her death in a car crash in August 1997 stunned a world that had lived her life with her. The blame was put squarely on the photographers who surrounded her in death as well as in life.

For ten years conspiracy theories, claims and counter-claims have obscured what actually happened that night. Did the photographers chase Diana to her death in the Pont d'Alma tunnel? Were they too busy taking pictures to call the emergency services and did their presence hinder those services? They had witnessed and recorded one of the most terrible and iconic moments of the 20th century. But for ten years that night has plagued their lives.

This is the story of the photographers arrested that night.

The film uses some of the photographs that were taken by passers-by as well as professionals and helps to establish what went on in the tunnel that night. Some have not been seen on television before. They are the most precise record of what happened in the tunnel during the hour after the crash. One image in the film has been appropriately obscured to avoid any unwarranted intrusion into their privacy or that of their families.

For one night the press photographs became the most expensive ever, but when Diana died they became worthless. Those who possessed them were hounded and for some their careers destroyed. The photographers have never felt able to tell their side of the story... until now.

The Final

5th Jun 2007 21:55pm

Last Monday (28th May) I decided to sing at KUBar in Central London. I sang Beauty School Dropout and as you normally would be, I was nervous! Though after a few more people came and sang their songs the host of the night came over to me and mentioned that I am through to the final. He also mentioned that all the girls in the corner, which Martyn informed me is the VIP-y type bit, absolutely loved me. So me and Martyn, who is also in the final, will be entering the final as a duet. We will be mixing 3 songs together and singing them. I won't give away the 3 song titles however the name I wanted to give our final performance is The Phantom of the beauty school breathe easy dropout opera.

The winning prize is a widescreen plasma TV... hopefully we win it.
