Some of the things that harry elwin gets up to on his computer........
A few bits 'n' bobs:
nuclearpeace.co.uk
a website I developed in 2002 and have maintained and upgraded for the client
since. It has had 25000 + hits. Features include a javascript menu system
and realaudio sound clips.
This site is a dynamic site with many features generated by server side PHP
scripting
my MSc project (in 2003/2004) about Scalable Vector Graphics read all about it (I must summarise it!) or cut to the fun bit and compare the 2 versions of a game I developed. It is in Flash and SVG format.
As a lorry driver my working hours are now governed by the working time directive, I have been working on a PHP project to assist drivers calculate their working time for more information and look at this ongoing project wtd
I also use linux alot and muck about with a red hat server, get into linux, there's so much help out there on the web. Just ask Google.
Links:
my MSc supervisor Dr Uta Priss once joked to me that only five people in the world write original javascript and everyone else modifys it......... I suspect she sees some client side operations as a poor cousin to grown up server side stuff. Anyway what follows is a list of links from people whose ideas I have drawn on for various web based wheezes.

perl and sql.

line at the top of the page saying where you are in the site.
