Here is a little how-to on adding a row to a table using jQuery. I've decided to write this little how-to as I needed some resource whilst writing the add bookmark function for LinkBASE.us I hope this is useful to someone...
First you must download the jQuery files, from here. Unzip the files into a suitable location and create a new HTML file.
You now to include the jQuery file into your HTML file, to do this add this between the <head></head> section of your code.

BLVD Staus is a brand new way to track visitors to your website. Just like Google Analytics (GA) you can see how many people have viewed your website, outgoing links and more!
So what makes BLVD better? Well unlike GA you can view all of your data in real time. This means that when someone visits your website, your statistics are updates instantly.
Just like GA, you install Javascript Tracking Code into the body of your website, and that's it. BLVD will instantly start collecting data!
BLVD displays the data from your website in a snazzy group view.
The simple group views help you see your statistics in an organized way!
So what does BLVD show you?
- Referrers - Websites which have linked to you
- Search Keywords - The keywords people have used to find your website and which Search Engine it came from
- Site URLs - Links on your website
- Foot Traffic - RSS feed information
- Conversions - I'm assuming this one is based on AdSense etc
- Outgoing Links - Links which are going from your website
All of this information can be updated at various points in time:
- 10 Mins
- 3 Mins
- 1 Min
- 30 Secs
- Never (stops updating)
BLVD User Page
BLVD also has other "applications", such as the Digg tracking tool which is used to track referrer clicks coming from Digg. You can also create Campaigns, which will help in the conversion of RSS feeds, Outgoing links, forms etc.
Currently, BLVD is in Beta, and things are changing rapidly and it's going well!

Recently I read an article on Neowin forums saying that The Pirate Bay is to be sold, for $8M by a company called Global Gaming Factory X.
It seems this has caused some arguments from the most expected people, TPB users.

Well, Sam and I are re-writing the whole BenoksHosting system, merging the gap between user and services.
We're adding a new backend system which is completely custom using PHP, MySQL and jQuery, making everything dynamic and AJAX we're finding our website to run a lot smoother.
Currently no-one apart from ourselves have access to the new system, however I would like to show you something I am proud of. jModal. A way to display content in "popup" boxes.
We're currently using the jModal script to display our portfolio images, again each image is dynamic from a database.
Display an image over the rest of the website!
Not only is it very simple, but the code itself could be applied in many other situations. I haven't finished the design of the modal window at the moment, mainly the close button becoming an exit icon displayed over the top right of the box.
There are three different ways of closing the jModal window:
- Press Close
- Press Esc (keyboard button)
- Click the background
Pressing Close will display an easing transparent animation, whilst the rest plainly close. I did this because the other ways tend to be used when you want to close something quickly.
The code itself will be released upon the opening of the new BenoksHosting website.

College has finally finished for 10 weeks! Then another year to go...
Over the past few weeks I have been seriously doubting going back to college. I and others have had many problems over one thing or another that were just ignored, even after we bought them up on several occasions.
It's just been horrible. Spending time at college with friends is what I have enjoyed. The work itself has not been hard at all, it's the actual lecturers themselves and how the course has been organized that is causing the problems. In fact, it's only a couple of the lecturers that have been the problems.
A few of my lecturers have just been extremely difficult to talk to and to receive feedback from, and because of this have caused my grades to drop. Hopefully I can get these backup next year... If I go.
I really don't want to go back, but it would be a waste of a year if I didn't. We'll see.

Today Wordpress failed for the first time, in erm... ever.
The whole thing stopped working, my MySQL data removed and an Install Page being display on everything. Not good.
But it's all fixed now. I'm missing one post and comment about me passing my driving test, so nothing too much.

RAMPro is another application that I've forgotten to release and it's useful to!
RAMPro shows me how much RAM is being used
Basically, RAMPro will empty out any free working space which was left behind from a process. Basically each program requires RAM to run, it takes some space and works with it. Sometimes a process doesn't need that space any more but doesn't empty it again. RAMPro will automatically empty out the freed space for you.
By default it will empty out all process every two seconds (this can't be changed), but by clicking "Select process" you are able to select a process and empty out that one alone.
A lot of system processes!
Minimizing RAMPro will send it to the tray, just click the icon once and it will return.

Today, I became a member of Microsoft TechNet! This allows me to try so many different applications and operating systems by simply downloading them from a complete library.
I decided to download Windows 3.11 which by the way, was awesome! After extracting the files, I looked through the files and found one which stood out, PBRUSH.EXE. I hoped my memory served me right, this was Microsoft Paint!
Wow.
It's so awesome, even better than the XP version, the GUI (Layout) is not brilliant but it has more features than it.
Microsoft Paint from Windows 3.11
Other programs I found include:
- CALC
- WRITE - Just like Wordpad
- SOL - Windows Solitaire
- TASKMAN - Really bare Task Manager
- WINTUTOR - Tutorial on how to use Windows 3.1
- TERMINAL - A separate GUI to the TERMINAL
Next step is to setup in a Virtual Machine, see where it goes!

Today I noticed a strange new popup appear in the bottom left of my Facebook profile. Intrigued, I looked and saw this:
Looks pretty neat! Very useful as I miss the usual red mark anyway. Still looks like the animation needs a bit of work, unless I missed that too.
I wonder if they released any new features?
