iOS-like select component for the web For SoundWheel we have designed a reminder interface inspired by the alarm clock and cooking timer found natively on iOS. I looked far and wide and found no React components anywhere near what we wanted. So I had to make my own. Stuff like this is a big timesink but
Play audio on demand in Safari on iOS SoundWheel started as a mobile first web app. As such it was essential that audio playback worked in the background. Also, of equal importance was to be able to play another audio track when the first one finishes. On iOS this has been no easy task but I got it
SoundWheel I haven't been posting much anything since March of 2021. That's because I have been occupying my free time with selling a house, buying another, staying with my parents for over a month and moving into the new house. If anything stands out in 2021 it's thinking about houses and

It does the following things in sequence: * locks all databases * snapshots all volumes * unlocks databases * rsyncs over the latest snapshot It always creates the same snapshot because I use
XenForo Experience System I built an experience system for the next version of Hive. That might be news to you if you frequent the site. I won't go into anymore details about it as that's for a news post on HIVE in the next few months. The problem is that I want to
Steve Gibson is using my SQRL add-on for another forum As previously mentioned on this blog, I worked with the Steve Gibson about a year ago to create a SQRL add-on for XenForo, a forum system I have much experience with. He just launched a new XenForo forum [https://forums.grc.com/] using my add-on once more!
Keeping old links alive As mentioned in the past, I am in the process of rewriting the code of Hive to be compatible with XenForo 2. A task I spent a while on was to make sure old links got redirected properly and to have no broken images in the new version. I found

Hive Tag selector When searching for resources on Hive, you typically select tags for which kinds of things you want to find. We've had that for many years. Here's a screenshot of today's version: But not too long ago, a member suggested that we had the same option but for excluding tags. The
Project Integrating SQRL with XenForo To aid him in his quest of writing an add-on to make XenForo support SQRL, he posted a thread on the XenForo forums asking for advice. To which I replied with ideas and some sample code that I spent an evening on. Soon after we...
Project The Hive Workshop In 2004 I started the Hive. A website for a Warcraft 3 map I was making with a friend. The map was called Warhammer 40,000 TD. A tower defence with lots of advanced features.
New Beginnings I finally got around to setting up a site for my business. I plan to post semi-regular updates about the things I work on and discuss the solutions to problems I'm facing.
