This is by far the coolest implementation of a web based DJ control solution for ShoutCast streams. I have spent probably 30 hours so far writing this app and think it is by far some of my best work (Backend wise) – the front end is kinda sketchy still.
A video is worth a few million bytes so here it is – pardon the drunkenness.

I shot this screen for those who are looking for an extremely simple explanation and demonstration for sending and receiving data asynchronously via jQuery Post and JSON. About two years ago I really struggled with this concept so I figure there are probably others who will find this information useful. I would have been extremely happy to find something like this when I was learning (and frustrated).
Today (June 23rd) at 8:00 PM I will be hosting a 1 1/2 hour DimDim meeting for anyone interested in getting started with CodeIgniter. I am by no means a CodeIgniter “guru” but I love sharing knowledge and feel that this could be a beneficial webinar to attend.
Schedule:
Part I – Basic Principles and Standards
Part II – Open Q&A
Once again this is a Basic introduction so there are no stupid questions – looking forward to seeing you there!
I will be accepting 20 participants (first come – first serve).
I have been up all night working on this template for a local business and have been running into some major issues with IE6 (what else is new?). I have used !important in the past but not as heavily as for this project, sure learned a lot.
For those who don’t know – creating stylesheets that render identically in both Internet Explorer and Good browsers is a saught after talent. I could get into a whole mess about how yucky it is working with IE but instead you can Google it yourself, someone else has no doubt already written about this much better than I can.
A quick explanation of !important is as follows :
Firefox renders it, Internet Explorer doesn’t. For Example :
margin-left:10px !important;
margin-left:5px;
Firefox will push whatever div over 10 pixels while Internet Explorer will get confused, skip the line and render the 5px margin.
It is important to put !important before any other “contradicting” statements as it could play mind games and mess you up something awful.
Take a look at the in-progress template and tell me what you think…
I have been in Denver Colorado for the past week at a natural health conference (I was the IT insurance in case something broke). It turned out quite well, though I never got to see the rockies – a crying shame! Anyway all was not lost, I was able to hit up the duty free in Niagara Falls late Wednesday evening for some wicked deals!
I ended up walking away with a 40oz bottle of rum (with Mai Tai mixer) and a carton of delicious Marlboro Reds for $50 on the dot – I couldn’t be happier! Anyway it is Friday night and time to get full use of my purchases.
