This application is all about managing tasks. To begin with, click the 'create new task list' at the bottom. This then opens a panel in which the list can be named, and items inserted into it.

If logged in, changes are saved automatically so when you revisit the page, your previous settings remain, including the name and state of each task.

An interactive motorsport calendar. It contains events for 2011, and displays the status of each event - whether past, present or future - and highlights this in the interface.

For F1 events, there's also the option to view an archive of races from the BBC website's Classic F1 series.

A game created in JavaScript for your entertainment. Containing retro style glowing graphics - assuming you're using anything better than evil IE8, otherwise you don't get the pretty glows and nice rounded corners. This is an update of the last JavaScript Game I made - I said I'd update it at some point, and here it is. Runs much smoother, although visually I preferred the lighter background looking back, but that's just an easy CSS change.

The idea is to guide the ball through the holes to reach the bottom. The arrow keys, mouse, or a touch screen can be used to control the ball. It technically works on phones as it's not Flash based and widths are set as percentages, but it depends on your screen resolution and graphics provider as to how well it will work.

It heavily uses the jQuery animate tool, as well as the jQuery Rotate plugin, and took around 3 hours to make. The rows are generated randomly with PHP, so the difficulty can also vary slightly between refreshes. A difficulty trigger is activated when the ball reaches the bottom of the screen - when this happens, it speeds everything up as it assumes it has been going too slowly for the player until this point.

High scores are kept locally and per session, but in future it would easily be possible to have them saved in a database. Try it for yourself, it demonstrates itself better than I can explain in words!

A quick app to read RSS feeds from external sources and display them on the page. Three sample feeds are included as demos, along with the ability to add a fourth (which isn't saved).

When clicked, links are expanded to reveal the additional content contained in the feed, as well as a link to the original article. Any images in the feed are displayed directly in the page with styling to prevent them taking over the screen.

A web-based "instant" messaging system - not quite instant because there's a 1.5 second delay while checking for data, since browsers don't have push facilities to be told to retrieve data from the server.

This app requires registration, and from there you can add friends to talk to (assuming they're already registered). An upload function is available to share photos and files, which are then displayed in the page, as well as recent messages. The option to view the past week or day's worth of chat with one particular friend is available, along with email notifications.

It works by sending a request to the server to detect whether an update to a chat has been posted. If it has, the data is then retrieved and instantly animated into the chat window. It's really much more clever than I can put into words - give it a try!

This post is now out of date, but I've kept it in for future reference.

I've just created a few style sheets and tidied things up a little, one day this site will be finished. Maybe.

The script I used can be found here, along with instructions so not a great deal for me to talk about really.

The important thing to remember is that you don't need to define each style within the secondary stylesheets - they just act as additions to the base CSS and override anything found in there, which means the additional stylesheets can be smaller in size, which helps with the more instantaneous switch. Also very handy that it creates a cookie to remember settings that can obviously then be accessed in PHP, it's pretty much got everything sorted.

Choose from 3 colours of one theme (because I was lazy and just Photoshop hue changed a few graphics), and an orange carbon theme. Might make more, but the concept is kind of done now so not sure I'll feel the need to.
