10-13-2015 Lots of updates
- A Dozen or so Book Reviews added
- Still working on the Religion re-write
03-14-2014 Lots of updates
- Pictures and a Trip Report for the Vegas Trip from last October.
- I fixed the Animations on the Animations Page. It seems the “no preload” attribute of the Embed Tag doesn’t work as expected. This caused the pages to hang as the browser tried to load all of the animations during the page load. I switched to the HTML5 picture element and it seems to work much better in all browsers.
- Updated (almost) all of the Trip Pictures to a larger size. From my notes it was 4 years ago that I updated all of my trip pictures from a maximum size of 800x600 to 1000x800. With everyone having widescreen monitors and most of them having a resolution of 1600x1200 or more my old pictures were looking rather “less than inspiring”. So time to update with a new maximum size of 1200x1000. So far my internet connection seems to handle it.
- While increasing the size of the pictures I figured it was time to change the method I was using to display the pictures. For many years I’ve been using a Javascript function to create a pop up window that was sized to fit the picture. This allowed me to center the image and not have a horrible white background that would distract from the picture. On the downside it also required hand coding all of the picture dimensions which not only took a while but made updating the pictures to larger sizes a royal pain. I thought I had a solution when Firefox started displaying .jpg images centered with a grey background and I hoped that IE and Chrome would soon follow suite. No luck. (Side note: What happened to IE and Chrome? Firefox is the ‘other’ browser and in this specific area, it is miles ahead of IE and Chrome). The solution that seems to work is linking to a “page frame” which is nothing more than a blank grey page and a centered picture which loads with some very basic ASP. The only issue seems to be in getting the picture centered vertically. If you ever want a LONG discussion with a web page developer, ask about centering items vertically. In short, HTML was not designed to center vertically, only horizontally so ‘hacks’ are required.

Given that the last major revision to my website look was back in 2004 this was slightly over due. I started this page back in 2001 as a tool to help me keep track of the animations and visualizations that I was creating while working at the NCDOT. From there it grew to site for vacation pictures, and then to pretty much anything I felt like talking about.
Since the original page was done in something similar to HMTL 2.0 and I knew there were going to be lots and lots of changes if I wanted to get everything up to modern standards and such, but I was unprepared by just how much. Thankfully I had been working with CSS and styles some so I had the basics of the idea. And I remembered and excellent video on YouTube some years ago where the person talked about “Web 2.0” and the goal of separating content from presentation. For myself who learned HTML with the two combined it’s been a difficult transition. I would love to talk to someone that has only learned HTML in the past few years since this was that the standard method to know if it was any easier, but I fear that people that do their own websites are a breed that have died out. Even among my techie friends only 4-5 have websites and all of these are content on a hosted site like Blogger or such. On the other side of web development, all of the people I know that do professional development all use development programs like Visual Studio, Dreamweaver, or such. Its rather strange when you should a developer HTML in notepad and they have to really think about it. I fear the day of the amature web page developer is gone.
Tables or Div’sNothing sounds more like religion than web developers talking about tables and Div’s. Like pretty much everyone else, I hated Div’s while trying to understand them and get them to work. Unlike the majority, I still hate them, but given how Table properties were “nerfed” in HMTL5 I had to change my website to a div based layout. After reading dozens and dozens of articles about the subject I’m kind of amazed that almost no one had any good general thoughts about the issues both pro and con. The best summation is that CSS and Div’s allow you to horizontally center items. They really suck had trying to center anything vertically. Even the people who designed CSS, while not officially saying “yea we suck at vertical centering”, have quietly been added style properties to make it easier and many of the most looked for features of the future CSSv3 deal with this. (Can you say columns boys and girls?). Once again it would be nice to talk to a developer that does layout professionally to see if I somehow missed something, but all of the professionals use other programs to create code, so I’m not even sure if they understand it or not.
Doc TypesAt the top of every webpage is a line that is supposed to give a description on what format the page is in. In the beginning there was only one type”HTML” so it was pretty easy. About the i6-i8 timeframe people noticed issue that the newer browser were rending existing pages in a manner that the pages no longer work. The solution was to “version” the document so newer browsers understood how older pages should be displayed. The doc type of one of my original pages just says HTML so I pretty much missed all of this since the last time I worked in HTML. I thought I could ignore this, but one of the benefits of this is supposed to be better cross browser compatibility. While it may be difficult now to get a webpage to look the same in IE and Firefox, it doesn’t hold a candle to how incredible horrible this used to be. The second reason this is important is that the doc type can be used to force a “strict” interpretation of the HTML that follows. This means that browser may read this and then ignore any old HTML code that is now considered as “depreciated”. So far I have not seen this behavior in either IE or Firefox and both will gladly read the CENTER tag and center elements, it likely that in the future they will not.
Master PagesOne improvement I have been enjoying is “master pages”. Most web pages have some variation of a standard layout that includes a header, navigation, and content section. In the old school you would have to include this information in each and every page on your website. Since this is the equivalent to a programmer never using libraries, it was not very popular. With master pages you now setup your main site layout and put a line in the HTML for a placeholder. Then as each page is called, the server swap placeholder for the content page. And that discussion leads into ASP.
ASP.NETIt seems I missed ASP1.0, ASP2.0, and get to jump straight into ASP.NET. In short, if you want to use features like Master Pages, you need to have a server that uses asp. To avoid complexity in the description, if you want to do something to the webpage (like add a header) before you send it to the requestor you need a server that can do this. Yes it has all kinds of other fancy features and abilities, but that leads into Visual Studio.
Visual StudioOne of the more annoying parts of web develop is the total reliance of professional web developers on Visual Studio. It’s understandable with the complexity of modern website code that no one would be developing in Notepad anymore (except for yours truly of course). That being said, it is highly annoying for tutorials to say things like “don’t use #include statements anymore use ‘user controls’”. No problem except that user controls require you to compile code, and use Visual Studio just to do so.
Old and out of date information on the webAnd while on the subject of tutorials. Learning HTML from online tutorial has never been more difficult. Here is an example of where progress had not taken a step forward. For the love of God if you are going to put information online, put a date on it! Most of the issues I’ve run into end up being information that is years out of date. A problem you never hear about on the web is that without a date, there is no way to see how old an article is. Something written 15 years ago looks just as new as an article posted yesterday. With print even 10 years is long enough to feel a difference in the paper or notice that it is older. If nothing else you can note the advertisements next to the article to get a feel. With modern web pages the advertisement like the header and footer are added the second the page is viewed which means they are always up to data. You would not believe the number of article I’ve read this month that end with “and that’s how you fix the incompatibly problem with ie5” or such. Argh. It’s gotten so bad I now scan to the bottom of all pages, just to make sure something like this is not the last line in the article before I waste my time.
Separating content from StyleThere is no way I can put this better than a video that was posted on YouTube called Web 2.0 ... The Machine is Us ing Us. If by some chance you have not seen this, look it up and do so.

I just realized that it looks like I’ve made no updates in 9 months. I admit I have not been making many but I’ve added a dozen or so book reviews to the “Re-read the library” project and I've been working on the vacation planning website over at Google Sites. Finally, with our Yellowstone trip in just a week I expect a major update afterwards.

Spring Cleaning ! I've been meaning to update all of the travel pages for a while now, and I finally got around to it. I fixed the code on many pages to work with both Firefox and IE8, and increased the picture size to 1000x800. I even managed to get the zoom code to work on the Vail pictures. Hopefully I'l have some new trip pictures in a month after the Turks trip so as always, browse and enjoy.

Back from the dead, again.
2 weeks ago I walked into my computer room and hear the dreaded hard drive click of death. The computer I use as my combination web server, domain controller is toast. (Yes, I know you shouldn’t run them on the same box, but its for a home domain so I’m not really worried.) I new this could happen but I was not to worried. It is rare you get to build a domain from scratch so I had never backed it up cause I figured I could always use the experience in setting another one up if it ever crashed. So far no problem. As far as rebuilding the web pages, I had a copy on my main computer that I back up every month-ish, so once again no major issue. Then I check the date on the copy on my main computer.
Its 2 years old,,,,,,,,,,,,, ARGGH!!!! Now I have a problem.
So here are some of my thoughts on How to Recover Wepages you might find interesting.

All Domain Name registrars are not created equal.
I've been with Pair Nic for about 4 years, ever since I started this site. But if you don't change anything it's easy to manage domains. When I adjusted the IP number for my homepage it took 48 hrs+ for pair to replicate, Godaddy did it in under 4 hrs. So, the domain registration is getting moved.
I noticed when I moved my domain to GoDaddy they have started selling "@name" domain names, so I picked up www.TimJenkins.name while I was at it.

So, I'm going to try something different again. I'll try hosting the site from a computer here at the house. This should let me practice with some administration functions (i.e getting a new job stuff) and make updates and testing faster and easier.
So in short. I'll be making changes, and the site will be down lot and having dead links as I change over and get it stable again.
Geek Stuff and Details
(A) In theory all you do is update your local copy, test it, and then use FTP to upload the new pages. Should take no time at all. In practice, you develop on a windows pc (which is not case sensitive) and post to a web server running Unix (which IS case sensitive), so after you upload your pages, you then check all of your links. And using ftp to upload your pages is not a 1 button press either. For example my site has lot of sub directories so and update requires lot of different directories the uploads have to be copied to.
(B) So, you want to host a webpage from home huh? In theory all you need is a computer running a webserver program. Since I'm a windows guy, this means a pc running Windows XP with the IIS component running. I've done this before and it does work. It's just not how companies setup their systems because of salability and security issues, so it's not a good learning tool for the long term.
I need some practice with all the bells and whistles so here is the setup
Time Warner cable Modem, DHCP (yea DHCP is a pain, but a static IP is expensive)
jinksweb.com (Domain name registered at pair.com)
Netgear router (Forward port 80 to the webserver)
Dc1 (Domain controller running Windows 2003 server, DNS, DHCP, print server, IIS, SQL 2000)
If your paying attention that last item has the work behind it all. I moved our home computer setup to an Active Directory Domain last year to get some more practice in, and it will greatly simplify adding the webserver now. If you were doing this as a business, you would not want to have all of these running on the same box, but this should be fine for my needs.

06-18-2003
Ok it's been a VERY long time since this page saw revisions so there are tons and tons of stuff to mention and talk about.
First oft, hopefully this page will be updated more frequently than in the past. (really, ,,,,,, really). Actually this site HAS been updated on a very frequent basis for the last 2 years, it's just that the entire site was on my personal computer and not on the web. When the page was started it was solely designed as a way to organized the animation projects I was doing for work. This meant the files were VERY large and not reasonable for sharing on the WWW. The full site takes up about 1.5G on my computer is has expanded to cover web page designs, photos, programs, and anything else I feel like.
Since our internet provider only provides a basic 5Meg site, this obviously was not going to work. I tried with various methods of a separate smaller page for the web, but I always forgot to update the web page. What was needed was a way to have only 1 page. First what was needed was more room, while I was going to be able to store the full 1.5G anywhere I definitely needed more than 5M. (For the non-computer people, 1.5G = 1,500Meg). Thanks to Alex Chapman www.budgetweb.com I found a site that will host 100Mb, much better. www.pair.com.
NOTES:
All animations are now compressed with Divx. Read the note on the top of the animation page.
Visual basic programs require the msvbvm60.dll file to run. Read the note on the programs page.
Non-Geeks may stop here.
The first change I made was to make 3 top level folders (inventively named disk01, disk02, disk03, original huh?). By keeping each folder to under 600 Mb, it at least made backing up the webpage much easier. Then I noticed that 90% of the space was used by just a few of the animation files. Each animation was +/- 80 MB. After this I realized that I could store everything except the actual animation files in less than 25Mb. Now we're getting somewhere.
After a reorg I set up a folder for disk00 that would hold everything but the animation files and 3 other folders disk01,02,03 that would only hold the animation files. This Made backups MUCH easier as the older animation files don't change. Still it leaves the problem that If I don't include any animations on the webpage, all of the links will go to the ugly "file not found" screen. Time for still more thinking.
The answer came in the form of 2 programs. Divx and Virtual Dub. Both freeware. Divx is simply the best video compression codec around. Virtual Dub is a simple program to compress or re-compress audio/video files with tons and tons of options. Using these I was able to make smaller highly compressed versions of all of my animations. 1400M to 24M. Not bad at all. But for the real coup-de-grace I realized that if I simply saved these animations as folders disk01-disk03 I could simply used these versions on the webpage with changing any of the code or links on the primary pages. Neat huh? So if I'm accessing online I get the compressed versions but if I'm on my personal computer I get the large full versions. huray!
And since that's probably way more information than you really wanted to know...
Till Next Time.

(Date is best estimate). This web page started as a method for organizing the animations I was creating while working for the NCDOT. The particular animation was my “Circles” animation. The files were all stored locally on my computer as internet space was expensive and speeds at the time (26k Modems) were far to slow to transmit video files. By 2001 I had added pages to keep track of the programs I was writing in Visual Basic and Visual C++, and by 2002 I add the first of the vacation pictures which would later become the major focus of the site.
