Well I made it, my official summit date and time was 7:58am in the morning, having set off at 11:30pm the night before!

It was definately an experience and I have more expeditions lined up.

Finally! A new host and new blog.

I’ve imported my old posts but some parts may be broke etc, feel free to mail me (webmaster@lloydkinsella.net) if you find any issues.

At some point very soon this blog will disappear, I’ve finally had enough of Webhost4Life and bought myself a VPS so I’ll be moving content over to a new environment over the next month or so.

I also hope to re-design this blog a little bit, the current theme is getting old now and it’s time for a change. I’ll keep you posted!

It’s nearly Christmas and I haven’t posted anything since September so just thought I’d do a quick dribble to remind people I’m alive. Busy with work but working on a couple of interesting projects ready for the new year, so watch this space!

Just to announce although a bit late for April, but I’ve recently wrote two articles for JSMag. I highly recommend JSMag to any JavaScript developers who may be reading this.

My first article in April details with using on-demand JavaScript loaded with ExtJS – http://www.jsmag.com/main.issues.description/id=31/

The second article, for May details implementing client-side caching of JavaScript – http://www.jsmag.com/main.issues.description/id=32/

Bored this evening I decided to tinker with Aptana Studio as it has a nice plugin to create Adobe AIR applications. Using this I combined it with ExtJS to produce an AIR application of the documentation which saves you having to use the temperamental ExtJS servers (at the moment) or browse locally, and is also very snappy. The build I’ve done is for ExtJS 3.1 though I might fiddle and see if I can get one for 2.x and one for core going later.

You can download the AIR application here.
If the above link does not work, try this one.

Finally got a new blog up and running specifically for technical stuff and not mixed with any other of my crap.

I intend to write up interesting thoughts and examples I find with code as I go about my day to day life so keep checking back and hopefully you’ll come across something at some point.
