Latest Updates:

01|05|09 - Happy New Year!! - Fixed the force-download feature which was used anytime you saw this button.
- Fixed the 404 error page.
12|22|08 - Blog update.
10|30|08 - I haven't updated this Update Roll in five months but believe me, I've been working on the Website:
- I've been looking for a way to load pages differently depending on the browser it's loaded in. I used to have this implemented on only the landing-page (www.bryanneilon.com) and the different landing-pages would link to two different sets of pages-- essentially two entirely different websites. For example, in Internet Explorer, the landing-page would link to “/old.home” and the landing page in FireFox would link to “/home”. Having two different pages for every place on the site made it twice as difficult to update (thus the 5 month lapse).
- Now, every page (not just the landing page) loads a “switcher” script that loads one of two “builder” scripts(depending on the browser). The “builder” script for Internet Explorer builds using one set of files, the Firefox script uses another set of files. The beauty part is that both scripts use the same file for content and different files for structure. The result is that I now have one set of files to update, meaning much more updates!
- Updated Resume.
- Updated picture gallery to be Internet Explorer compatible.
- Updated Web Log.
- Updated Reel.
- Added client pages for Rob of Critical Mass Mosaic, and PopLife.
- Implemented JWPlayer to handle all media.
- Updated copyright.
- Purged unused files.
- Changed letter spacing of header in Internet Explorer.
05|13|08 - My goodness, I found time to update during finals? Wow. Anyway:
- First, I'd like to thank Robbie Soman for suggesting a form-based contact page.
- Second, A Horse Connection is basically finished. Just a few touch-ups and we'll be on to finding a distributor!
- Third, Final papers... new computers... new jobs... rent problems... tons of travelling... Ayn Rand's Fountainhead (awesome-awesome.)... pots and pots and pots of coffee... and that's why I haven't updated in a while.
04|20|08 - Surprise! Major cosmetic update! It's been nearly a month since my last update so if you were wondering what I was doing, here ya' go. Please let me know if you like it by responding to my Weblog post where you'll find more about the change.
03|22|08 - Major thanks goes to Gregg Bray for pointing out an error in php code while dealing with Internet Exlorper.
- Editing in New Paltz for two days. It looks like "A Horse Connection" will be drawing to a close soon!
- Also fixed the rollover feature on the image to the left.
03|14|08 - Get ready for the Ides of March! Looks as if my site was been by a hacker! Javascript disguised as HEX code, oh my! Don't worry my friends, I cleaned it all up. Special thanks to the makers of Gallery 2 for having the foresight to prevent an automated attack from hitting their files! Please let me know if you notice any odd small squares...
02|29|08 - Check this out: If you click this link in firefox, you'll see my new landing page. Tell me what you think.
- It only works in Firefox so far but if you click this link you'll load the page in whatever browser you're using and you'll see why I only allow it to be viewed in firefox. If you don't have Firefox, you'll be relinked back to this page.
02|11|08 - Back on editing the Graffiti Project. We're getting a lot of cooperation from some very colorful and interesting people. This project is shaping up to be something I'm very glad to be apart of.
- Consulted with friend and colleague, Rob Jameson regarding Final Cut Pro system hardware. Very encouraging, to say the least.
02|01|08 - Happy birthday to me.
01|28|08 - It seems standards in PHP have recently changed while I wasn't looking, suddenly giving all my pages errors. Discovered the problem and fixed it up (thanks to these guys), replacing <?php include(*full url*)>
- - - with: - - -
<?php $file_contents = file_get_contents (*full url*); echo $file_contents; ?>
It worked.
