unzip remote files on webserver

If you work with web­servers and have to do lots of uplod­ing, it can be a pain in the ar53 to upload the files one by one via ftp.  Never mind the failed uploads and stuff, some­times the amount of files to be uploaded is just crazy. So we had been look­ing for a solu­tion to be able to upload zipped files in one go and unzip in the server itself which would even­tu­ally save lots of time.

The aver­age doc­u­ment man­age­ment codes are overkill for a small task like this. And we are not nec­es­sar­ily look­ing for any spe­cial func­tion other than upload and unzip.

poker odds calculator version 2 sneak peek

Heights of poker odds cal­cu­la­tor by great code mon­keys  reached and kept were not obtained by sud­den flight but, while their com­pan­ion code mon­keys slept, they were toil­ing upward in the night.

That’s how i would like to describe our toil­ing towards this height. This pic­ture gives you an idea how the sec­ond ver­sion of the cal­cu­la­tor will look like. For those who don’t know how the first one was here is the link to it http://simplebyte.net/says/poker-odds-calculator.

calculating poker odds

We love play­ing poker, who doesn’t ? Well, may be that’s not entirely true but lots of us love poker. So we were really excited to work our way through while work­ing on this English/ Chi­nese poker cal­cu­la­tor. The entire devel­op­ment took us 5 weeks; weeks filled with lots of cal­cu­la­tions and mind bog­gling log­ics. And here we present our poker cal­cu­la­tor ver­sion 1.

For the sec­ond ver­sion we are work­ing on the scal­able inter­face so that you wouldn’t need a 24″ screen to view the entire cal­cu­la­tor with­out scrolling.

We already have a vec­tor based inter­face in AI which is being plugged into the appli­ca­tion as we speak. So a few more weeks and we will have an awe­some look­ing poker cal­cu­la­tor for you to use for your next round of online poker.

website for a furniture store in N. Ireland

Water­side Super­store web­site is one of the few projects that we are work­ing on at the moment.

For a super­store based in Col­eraine, N. Ire­land, the busi­ness owner wanted some­thing sim­ple and fast; more of a web pres­ence to let cus­tomers be aware. After a few ini­tial con­ver­sa­tion, dig­ging into the details, we agreed to a solu­tion that would be sim­ple and scal­able plat­form to allow future ( mar­ket­ing and tech­ni­cal ) require­ments.

The web­site being focused to a spe­cific geo­graph­i­cal region we wanted to cre­ate a solu­tion that’s fit for not-so-web-savvy user demo­graphic and appeal to them. Since water­side super­store offers lots of qual­ity fur­ni­ture we could use the prod­uct images to make the web page look attrac­tive.

The other decid­ing fac­tor for the pro­posal was, being in a smaller area, the con­sumers wouldn’t nec­es­sar­ily need to know specifics or where­abouts of the store but be aware of the prod­ucts the store has. This way by brows­ing the web­site the con­sumers would actu­ally be sav­ing time instead of hav­ing to travel to and from the phys­i­cal loca­tion of the store.

yet another blog & I hate marketing

Look­ing at the cur­rent sched­ule we have, it really sounds like a crazy idea to add one more thing in our to do list but i had always wanted to write about our work and the devel­op­ment process for a long time. We all know a devel­op­ment team needs a blog, espe­cially in these mod­ern times where we need to sell our­selves and our ideas in order to advance our career, and increase our suc­cess, blah, blah blah.…. I hate to admit it no mat­ter what we do even­tu­ally we all are in sales. God, i hate mar­ket­ing.

Mar­ket­ing is just the sec­ond thought, pri­mar­ily, i had a few spe­cific rea­sons to do this:

Project Doc­u­men­ta­tion:

I guess i don’t have to empha­sise the impor­tance of doc­u­ment­ing in project devel­op­ment, in fact, doc­u­men­ta­tion is the most impor­tant thing in devel­op­ment and takes most of the time. But doc­u­ment man­age­ment requires skill. As far as i am con­cerned

doc­u­men­ta­tion is not the rea­son i got into this career

and hav­ing to man­age, deliver to clients, pro­gram­mers team & design­ers, explain the entire thing, all of these take lots of time. So blog­ging the doc­u­men­ta­tion could help me save that time as both the clients and devel­op­ment team could refer to it.

It also helps make the entire process flex­i­ble as they can come back to it when­ever they want instead of being forced to at a spe­cific time. If there is any ques­tion, the answer is just an email away.

iphone simulator

With the surge of iphone web­sites all around the web, we didn’t want to be left behind. So we thought we could get our hands dirty by work­ing on a iphone browser sim­u­la­tor that helps us test the web­sites built for iphones. It’s only a first go at it so inevitably has bugs which we will iron out even­tu­ally. In the mean time you could give it a try and see what you think.

1: type in the address you want to visit and press enter.

2: use this but­ton to change the ori­en­ta­tion of the phone.

Why don’t you try it and let us know what you think ?
