Sleeping pattern is messed up.

Drawbacks of having to start work at 6am in the morning on a Saturday. My sleep pattern is off kilter.

Last night, went to sleep at 10pm (ish), whilst being woken up a few times by the doorbell and drunkards for an hour before it calmed down. I wake up by myself at 3.30am and get up otherwise I would oversleep. Breakfast, TV, quick computer game then taxi to work.

I’m then working for eight hours, various jobs being the usual dot-com stuff, trying to find my clock-in card and working in produce and dairy (cold!). Afterwards, it was getting back to the flat and stupidly decided to walk it. Lovely torrential downpour half way up a hill.

Hour later I get back home, time is now 3pm. Have a bite to eat, sit down, lie on my bed for a while. I wake up at 10.30pm.

It’s now 1am on Sunday morning, and I don’t feel tired. Help me!

flupl 2: A work in progress

For anyone who didn’t know, I have a simple online file uploader called flupl (http://flupl.com). Very simple, you just upload a file, and you get given a direct link, with forum icons or thumbnails. That’s it in essence.

Now the backend PHP code is a bit of a mess and a hackjob really. There’s a lot of things which can be really simplified, and a few things that have been duplicated which can be cut down. As I’ve got nothing until university starts I decided to have a little work on the clean up. End result: flupl2 – which is coming along nicely.

Given it a slightly new look. One warning: I’m not brilliant at graphic design as I like to be, so this interface may change.

Slightly different interface, but essentially the same layout. At the top your links to login and logout, to access your account information and to access your files. Direct link can now be shrunk by using j.mp. Clicking any of the link text area’s will highlight the whole link.

Uploading files box hasn’t changed much, apart from a customised button which I may change back. Can’t really customise the actual choose file button unless I use flash, which I’m refusing to. Working on getting an upload progress bar.

Recent files that an account has uploaded has gone a bit of a makeover. Instead of a list of the last eight files, you get thumbails of the last eight files. Hover over them with your mouse, and you can see the filename, type, size and md5 hash. Click on the thumbnail and you can view the links to those files.

To open the file, click on either the thumbnail or icon in the top right and it will open in a new tab.

That’s the main interface getting there. With account information, you can now change your email address! A feature I keep forgetting to do. You can see other stats as well. File listing won’t change much, but what I will do is allow the feature of deleting files. Other things I’m thinking of is custom file names. I’m still thinking.

It’s a work in progress, but it’s only happening because I have time to waste.
