My major project will require me to work with the Googlemaps API and from conducting a bit of research I have deduced that having a slight understanding of Javascript will help enormously. So today I have been playing about with Javascript – it hasn’t really been too challenging so far but then I have only really scratched the very basics of what is possible and having experience in other languages such as Actionscript 2/3 and PHP obviously helps…
Anyway I made this page that uses javascript to tell you whether or not it is Halloween yet – and if it isn’t then it tells you how long it is until All Hallows Eve in months and days.

Also, in an effort to stay more organised and not lose notes/references related to my dissertation (and I guess anything else organisation wise) I made a massive pin board for the wall near my desk; two big bits of corrugated cardboard, cheap double sided foam pads from Wilkinsons, and a pack of push pins (also Wilko) to stick stuff up.

I just have to start using it now, I guess.
