I was playing about with gumtree and realised it could really do with a little more advanced searching, but with no API it only offered its data out in RSS format. I was looking for a PS3 but only wanted to highlight offeres within a certain range so ended up this tool to highlight adverts which fall within my criteria. Its still under developement but the basics are there, I may have it export out an email or its own RSS filtered down so I can spot those bargains.

I came across a bunch of old files which still make me laugh, so I thought I
would try to consolidate them into a repository and maybe have some fun with the
results

I Have been experimenting with the
Google API for Photos .net library - its been interesting journey into Classes using
ObjectDataSource control and
Datalist with
ImageButton and
Linkbutton for display, firing the OnSelectedIndexChanged with DataKeyField
event of the Datalist to show the required
gallery.
This version uses the .net Client library with a wrapper class with a custom
data class to store parts of the PicasaEntry objects.

Custom Blog Engine
working on writing a simple
blog engine. I tried BlogEngine.net 1.6 which was very good but I decided I wanted to write my
own simple version, learning about creating an
authenticated website,
using
CSS
stylesheets while integrating
AjaxControlToolkit along the way.
So far it displays the stories with a list of titles that can be clicked.
Posting a story is possible once logged into the website. |
EasyNews viewer
bit of a rubbish little test application. It requires a valid account to
Easynews. Once logged in it retrieves a list of groups which contain images,
then lists all the .jpg found within that group once selected. The list can then
be played back on a slideshow. Its a bit slow and uses html source parsing
instead of any API.

One of the first applications I wrote playing about with html parsing. Its not really complete and is still quite buggy. It scans
CelebrityMovieArchive.com and pulls down the images for viewing pleasure.

UPDATE : I have built a page to extract the inline images and display them toogether in an online version here |
