Working on the Photo Gallery |

So I have been working on the picture gallery. I have been trying many types of bulk uploaders. Flajaxian seems good but it only seems to work in IE and nor FF. Not only that, but it also has issues calling custom code so I am probably not going to implement it. This is why there are few pictures in the picture gallery.
Other things I have been working on is this blog application. I no longer have to inject my entries into SQL Server by hand. I coded up a nifty little interface to add new entries.
Might open the code if anyone wants it for their own site. If you are reading this and you want the source, let me know, email me at josh@joshfink.net. |

Photo gallery |

So as you may notice, there is a Photo Gallery link off to the left there and it gives you access to some photos I have decided to upload. The application is not done yet as I still need to implement some sort of commenting system for it.
I currently upload the pictures via a user control to a directory and give it a GUID. It does allow for duplicates as I can't find any that do not. The image viewing is done via a control as well that resizes the image on the fly and binary writes it out to the page. This allows for people to view the images quicker as they are not full sized... Full size these images are gigantic.
The lightbox on viewing images inside each gallery is a nice touch too. I am very proud of this but it is far from done. |

Finally done. |

So, I have rewritten joshfink.net for the most part. The only thing that I am disappointed about is the lack of AWS (Amazon Web Services). It seems that Amazon has decided to do away with support for selling things through their database. It doesn't hurt me much but it is a let down.
Now, the rewrite has been done in .net 3.5. With this, I have added true n-tier design. With each presentation page like this one you are seeing there is a Business Service Object or BSO that handles all related business logic, such as figuring out what you are looking for etc. From there, the BSO called a Business Object and gathers information from the database.
Each layer has its information sent between the objects via XML. The only let down about where joshfink.net is hosted is that I cannot do remoting between layers. Normally I would have the BSO and BOs be on a separate server and have a SOAP or remoting call between them and the presentation layer. I am limited in this sense so it does not occur.
More technical stuff later. |
