Introducing ColourJS

Sid Roberts — Sat, 05 Apr 2008 10:11:28 +0000

ColourJS is a JavaScript library that can take a colour and manipulate it — invert it or just change the format.

Just A Few Examples

ColourJS('#FF0000').invert().toHex(); // #00FFFF
ColourJS('#FF0000').invert().toRGB(); // rgb(0, 255, 255)

ColourJS('rgb(255, 0, 0)').invert().toRGB(); // rgb(0, 255, 255)
ColourJS('rgb(100%, 0%, 20%)').invert().toRGB(); // rgb(0, 255, 204)

The syntax is still a little awkward and functions are minimal but for a first release, it works.

I have been away for two weeks but I really wasn’t expecting all this!

Another Project that I’ll have to start work on is an idea that combines Yahoo! Answers, Google and StumbleUpon. Trust me, it’ll be great!

My First Big Task

Sid Roberts — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 20:42:55 +0000

Just over a week since the launch of this blog and site, I’ve started myself on my first big challenge. It’s such a difficult task, not only because it’s my first one, but because I simply know nothing about the sport. This sport I’m referring to is of course, football (soccer). For such a popular sport, it doesn’t feel like there is a definitive site for fixtures, results and the latest news. At least, no decent ones. The kind I’m thinking of is a Web 2.0 kind-of-thing with lots of user interaction. Don’t mistake it for another vowel-skipping start-up that fails though because this is nothing like it. Although a lot of visual (and coding) elements will be similar, the ethos of the site will be totally different and be more accessible to those not tech-savvy.

Watch this space.
