4 new .info domains, and a URL redirecting network in the style of bit.ly, tinyurl.com

Just registered four domains today on the .info domain. http://c8s.info/, http://fa5t.info/, http://god4.info/, http://pu5.info/ (not? to be confused with "puss"). Ha! I like the god4.info name -- sort of like it's the (and/or a) god for information.

In addition, I've added another dyndns.org (new window) domain -- quicklink.dyndns.org (new window).

Right now they're being used to shorten urls. Such as, johnlennon.com (http://c8s.info/a -- new window). You can enter one link, or up to 20 at a time using a batch mode (separated by new-line). Another feature is having a frame show from the site when links are clicked--and allowing the link creator to leave a short (30 character) message in this frame.

The domains were purchased via Godaddy (new window), who is apparently have an $0.89 .info sale. Sounds OK with me =)
Hosting fees for my websites. There are a few different domains that I'm running, and to save cost they're all on the same virtual host.

Beta test online journal (AJAX, PHP/MySQL)

Beta testers welcome!



I've recently been working on the final stages of a first draft of an online journal. It's in the style of the journal of Doogie Howser in the TV series Doogie Howser, M.D. The script is mainly MySQL, PHP and AJAX. The site consists of 2 pages:

At http://www.davidshumway.info/sites/30510-journal/login.html

login.html (username: demo, password: demo),
index.php (secured)

The script is mainly run on index.php, and Javascript/AJAX is used to control the program flow (js.js).

The program is sort of an emulation of a DOS machine from the early 90's. The script runs as a dos-prompt, with the journal being similar to Wordperfect, version 5, or so. Once logged in, the script can run the following programs:

admin - change admin preferences (e-mail settings, password, etc.), view login-attempts (by date, by keyword)
search - search for journal entries (by date, by keyword)
journal - create a new journal entry
journal -o - open a previous journal entry
journal -d - delete a previous journal entry
browser - open a new HTML window for browsing program data -- currently journal entries, and login-attempts. In the future, this may become more of operating system GUI.
exit - exit the program -- remove the javascript event-listeners, and session data.


Any testing is greatly appreciated!

Added a new user for the online journal. It's a demo user, so the username and password are 'demo' and 'demo'. Previously, the username/password combination has been 'admin'/'admin'.

Warm weather will be here soon...

Ajax.bz picks up story Journal of Doogie Howser M.D.

A recent post picked up by ajax.bz though Digg.com. This regarding a posting I made earlier of my NPH'esque online journal (new window).

Back soon with more, I hope... =)

The Journal of Doogie Howser, M.D.


The Journal of Doogie Howser, M.D. (on http://www.davidshumway.info).

You can login to the journal at http://davidshumway.info/sites/30510-journal/login.html (new window). The login username and password are ("admin"/"admin").

The application uses PHP, MySQL, and AJAX, and additionally CSS, Javascript and HTML. The journal is in the style of the TV series Doogie Howser (Wikipedia, IMDB). The application is based on an emulation of a DOS command prompt from the late eighties. The journal is based on WordPerfect (Wikipedia), specifically the version that the show uses in the first two seasons. (The show used two versions of the software--a version in seasons 1 and 2, and a new version in seasons 3 and 4).

The four screenshots are
1) Creating a new journal entry. Shows the Journal Entry Menu
2) Creating a new journal entry.
3) The loading screen of the Journal program
4) A DOS-like command prompt. The different programs available are:
- an Administration Menu (view site logins, change password and preferences, etc.),
- a Journal Search program for searching saved entries (by date or by keyword),
- an HTML Browser to view site logins and a list of journal entries outside of the command prompt,
- the main Journal Program to create new journal entries,
- a delete entry command to delete entries,
- and, an open entry command to open previously saved journal entries.

The work took about 2 weeks to complete.
