So… The windows command line has a bunch of commands built in for common tasks such as creating directories, renaming stuff, moving things about, yada yada yada. Its kind of stunted though when I compare it to the kind of file operations I do all the time in my development work.
I just finished sorting a huge number of files into appropriate directories, and noticed annoyingly that about 10,000 files (images in this case) had signatures in the file name making them ugly when displayed on my HTPC as a slide show. For example “Blue Iris (!downloaded from precariouspanther.net!)”… (The site link obviously changed in this case). Rather than having that garbage show up on my screen, I much prefer it to just be “Blue Iris”.
The easiest way to do this is just selecting the file, pressing F2 (or right click/rename) and editing the name removing out the garbage. This is normally fine - however with this collection of around 10,000 images it would take, oh I dunno… three years???
Frell that for a joke! After five mins scouring google I didn’t find a quick and easy solution, so whipped up a quick php script to enable simple find/replace on file names in a directory, opened up trusty CMD, typed in
findReplaceName * ” (!downloaded from precariouspanther.net!)” “”
and within 2 minutes all the work is done. I used to use perl for my shell scripting in linux all the time on the web servers, but given I’m coding php all day every day (and setting up perl on windows is annoying) this worked out much much better for me.
My uncle wanted to take a look at some of the sites I’ve done dev and or design (sucky) work on so thought it would be easier to throw the list up here. Most of the development site of things is login only which makes it a little difficult to show off, but I’ll put together a proper screen-shot and possibly a locally hosted demo of some of them here when I get a chance.
Wildtribe
- Australian Walkabout Park - inc completely custom eccommerce, CMS, stats packages, booking system, multi-user authentication etc
- Inconjunction Real Estate - Another completely custom CMS with built in property listing and image galleries, open time bookings, etc.
- Asquith Girls High School - BIG Custom project, major customised CMS with separate events management, news system, multi-user access (including admin, teacher and student) with cascading permissions system inc stats etc.
- Calabash Kennels - Very simple image rotation stuff to dynamically load images from a directory and cycle them as a css background property on page load. Looks cool though!
- Neetacity Shopping Centre - Very rapid simple CMS with single user login system. Completely flat file based due to requirements, rapid job of about 1 week.
Expertise Events
All of the following websites are running from the same customised events management CMS - dubbed Xerxes. Xerxes, along with quite a few other smaller projects was developed to facilitate complete control over the look and feel of the sites by the web team (design and development), whilst still giving less “web experienced” staff the ability to add and update large quantities of content across a significant portfolio of events management web sites. It includes things like Cascading permission systems, advanced statistical analysis, “drag and drop” emphasis GUI for simplifying interaction with a powerful engine, completely dynamic menu systems and ordering, drag and drop stand planning for exhibitors, advanced feedback forms using simple drag and drop mechanics with modules for stats tracking, compositing into CSV, etc, e-cards and special promotional systems, seo focused code generators and templating system, segmented templating engine allowing designers to simply implement advanced functionality within their designs without knowing *any* “code”, integration with third party services such as google maps/earth, and much much more.
A list of all of the current sites including:
- Craft and Quilt Fair
- Gardening Australia Expo
- SMPTE
- Auto Trade Fair
- Salon XPO
- Home Improvement Expo
- Event Conneqion
- Pet XPO
- Travel XPO
- etc
can be found at the Expertise Events corporate website - http://www.expertiseevents.com.au which automatically lists and cycles through all the upcoming show websites.
Melon Media
- Melon Media Corporate Website - Setup and customisation using ExpressionEngine
- Melon Stork - Custom email spam analysis tool
General
- precariouspanther.net - This site, using Wordpress with a bunch of custom modifications (mostly server side inc fetching photos automatically from my mobile phone).
- Ragajac Ragdoll Cattery - Ragdoll cattery website that I did for my mother who breeds Ragdoll cats over a Christmas break a few years ago. Customised CMS system and pedigree/family tree system for the cats. Also some cool photo gallery stuff I played around with at the time.
There are quite a few others that are now defunct as is always the way in the web world - but 404/server not found pages are hardly worth listing here :p
