I’ve been adventuring, not for the first time, into the world of Datatables. I’ve worked with this library in the past and, through recent work, ended up deciding it was high time I put together a small, re-usable utility module. There were a number of underlying use cases to cover: The module needed to configure […]
With the gradual piecing together of the Lego bricks forming the slow move over of the Frog & Pencil website to a more managed approach (building of a custom CMS and an all-around better ASP.NET MVC architecture) I thought it would be interesting to document the move over of Frog & Pencil images to a […]
Happy New Year all and I truly hope you all enjoyed a terrific festive period. As a little weekend treat, I decided to pick myself up a copy of the ‘net’ magazine, mainly due to the included feature articles on which web development and design tools are ‘en-flique’ (that one is for Claire; a trip […]
I was battling a little issue today surrounding an action method no longer being called asynchronously; the issue turned out to be related to some recent session-based code being added to our code base. In short, the minute session is detected in the underlying code, the ‘default’ behaviour for session state handling throws a monkey […]
I’ve recently been heavily embedded in implementing time zone sensitivity into a web application and I thought I’d share my first experiences on handling this from the perspective of the browser. A great little library for handling this kind of tricky number can be found in the form of Moment Timezone, which sits proudly beside […]
A very short piece on my current, off-the-wall, opinions on my little SEO journey so far and the shenanigans we’ve faced up to this point. Ok, so it hasn’t been that bad! Plus it’s interesting I have opted to use ‘spoons’, and not just a singular spoon. It looks like I plan to gouge out both my eyes […]
Where have I been you may ask! Apologies for the lack of content, we’ve (included my wife in the equation here) hit a sizeable brick wall of work. I think this has been mentioned previously, but I’ve recently started a new position and this has involved me spending a good dollop of time getting acclimatised; […]
Hi everyone, With the holidays almost upon us I just wanted to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and all the best for the New Year! If possible, I will do my best to crank out a further post between now and the New Year. Here’s a teaser for the first part of the year […]
A brief titbit today, but one I felt was worth sharing and has come in handy for work/personal projects recently for me. I’ve had a couple of requirements to gracefully show/hide and adjust web page layouts based on screen sizes (and screen re-sizing). I came across the following solution which works pretty damn well. First […]
Howdy all! I’ve been away mashing keys and helping my wonderful wife get started with her super-awesome Wedding Stationery business. It’s early days, and there is still plenty to do, but here is some shameless link touting: Website (landing page): frogandpencil.com Blog: frogandpencil.net I’ll try to do my best to keep up blogging in the […]
