Just in case anyone is interested, here are some regular expressions which allow you to detect Zone 2 or Zone 3 parcelforce delivery zones. Zone 2 : ^((IV)|(HS)|(KA(27|28))|(KW)|(PA(20|21|22|23|24|25|26|27|28|29|30|31|32|33|34|35|36|37|38|39|40|41|42|43|44|45|46|47|48|49|60|61|62|63|64|65|66|67|68|69|70|71|72|73|74|75|76|77|78))|(PH(17|18|19|20|21|22|23|24|25|26|30|31|32|33|34|35|36|37|38|39|40|41|42|43|44|49|50))|(ZE)).*$ Zone 3 : ^((BT)|(IM)|(TR(21|23|24|25))).*$ Might as well save someone else the trouble of typing it all in… any improvement tips welcome.

It's been a while since I last posted on here. Since then, we've done quite a lot of new stuff...

Qatcom.com

Qatcom.com is a yellow pages style directory we built for a client in Qatar, and being the only real service of its kind, has quickly become a household name within the region.

Universalposter.com

Universalposter.com is a unique personalised gift sales site, allowing you to order prints of your favourite celebrities, personalised with your own message, all in a digital facsimile of their own handwriting and autograph.

Since its initial build, the site now has team sites for Arsenal, Chelsea and Rangers football clubs, and is getting more and more people on the books all the time.

This one is a little different from the rest, a whole suite of sites catering for 3 magazines and an online shop. This was done in collaboration with Dark Star Media.

Once again, we settled on Drupal for the CMS solution in this case. This time the modules used as part of the core solution were CCK, Views, Webforms and Ubercart (an excellent shopping cart module for drupal).

We put together a new module to link up the shopping cart to the ProtX VPS Forms payment gateway, which has been opensourced and can be downloaded from http://www.ubercart.org/contrib/2773

I'm proud to announce that this website has gone live in the last month. Delta controls is a manufacturer of various industrial switches, and the website showcases their product range.

The key requirement for the site was to allow them to manage just about every aspect of the content on it for themselves. Just to add some fun into the mix, the site is presented in a wide array of languages.

We looked at various CMS solutions for the job and ended up settling on Drupal, with the added benefits of the CCK, Views, Webforms and Localizer modules.

We have just completed a little intranet project for Sky News, a tool which provides a live AJAX-based feed of subtitles from all sky news broadcast, and allows researchers to run historical searches for words or phrases used.

This project was completed under budget with the aid of CakePHP and scriptaculous.

I'm proud to announce that a new site has gone live this week.

http://www.bhf.cc/

This one was completed in association with Britweb Online.

Of particular note on this one:

• A newly developed "filmstrip" control for the feature properties section
• The "slideshow" component in full effect on the front page.

I've put together a rather nice fading slideshow element that uses the Scriptaculous library. This was originally for a client site, but it's quite adept at going just about anywhere.

It couldn't be much easier to use, full instructions are in the comment at the top of the JS file.

Spam is an unnecessary and annoying blight on online communications, but with a few simple rules to follow, you should find that you can work around it quite easily, and perhaps even reduce your ex

We are proud to announce a nice blog hosting service for just £49 per year.

Well, all good things must come to an end, so after 4 months of steady work with Dynamic Webs, I am able to offer up my services to others again.

If you've been sitting on any projects waiting for my return to the freelance arena, now is the time to get hold of me.
