The wonder that is jQuery

After someone asking wether I had any plans for use some jQuery stuff on EOL site, I got curious and checked it out. This resulting in me using it for some features on NAVOK I've had planed for a long time. Some rather simple showing and hiding of something, but with jQuery it was quite a lot simpler than it usually would be. I can only recommend it for your future javascript and ajax needs. I have not yet tried it out for ajax but it seems as straight forward.

New design

Got kind of bored with the old design of the blog, so used blogger's new design tool thing to create this design. Hopefully that will encourage me to write some more ;-)

My gallery

I don't think I've mentioned this, but a while ago I bought a webhotel at dreamhost.com, mainly to get more discspace. They offer 500gb, a bit more than my old, where I have 500mb. It costs a lot more obviously, but not too much. Anyway I ordred a new domain along with it aswell, as I haven't moved kopasite there yet, because I still have some time untill it expires on e-studio.dk. Beside more space they also offer a lot of great things, such a posibility to make unlimited databases instead of having everything in one.

The domain I ordered was sshoyer.net, which I'm going to use as a portal for all my minor sites such as my movie reviews and this blog. It is more of less finished now, as I a few days ago managed to get some parsing working with php so that the newest blog post is on the frontpage of sshoyer.net.

A new page I've made recently is a gallery using the Gallery software. I've sorted most of my digital pictures and put the good ones on the gallery, which now has 752 pictures in 8 catagories.

Best of 2007

Another year has passed an it's time to sum up on the best of 2007. Here are the winners! As last year runner ups are more of less ranked.

Movie

Transformers

Runner ups:
Clerks II
El Laberinto del Fauno
Letters from Iwo Jima
Cashback
The Kingdom


Comment: All really awesome movies, and very different movies, which makes it hard to choose which is better. However Transformers had something special and gave me that great feeling that you can do anything ;).


TV Show

Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip

Runner ups:
The Class
Gossip Girl
How I Met Your Mother
Scrubs
Friday Night Lights


Comment: Beside an awesome cast (Matthew Perry!) this show just really hit it for me. I found the whole plot really interesting. Sadly it was cancelled already after it's first season, a great loss for TV.


Song

Hilary Duff - Never Stop

Runner ups:
Avril Lavigne - Hot
Mandy Moore - Can't You Just Adore Her?
Andrea Corr - Champagne From A Straw
Alicia Keys - No One

Comment: For more than half a year I've been completely sure which song would win this catagory. Very unlike the last two years, where this catagory was really hard to decide. Don't get me wrong, the other songs are really good too, it's been a good year for music, but Never Stop is just awesome. Simply can't sit still when listening to it, and it got such a simple yet beautiful message. Might be the second best song ever.


Music

Mandy Moore

Runner ups:
Hilary Duff
Avril Lavigne
Britney Spears
Natasha Bedingfield

Comment: Bought her best of in the begginning of the year which has a lot of great songs, such as her songs from A Walk To Remember which has an awesome soundtrack. And her new album Wild Hope from the spring was really beautiful.


Hottie

Kristen Bell

Runner ups:
Avril Lavigne
Hayden Panettiere
Britney Spears
Hilary Duff

Comment: I saw Veronica Mars over the summer and ever since I've been completely in love with her. Which by the way also was awesome, too bad it's cancelled too.


Website

iGoogle

Runner ups:
CSManager
Amazon.co.uk
IMDb
Celebrity Movie Archive

Comment: By iGoogle I mean the entire google. It's just got so many useful things and I don't know how I should survive without it.


Day

October 25. - Drove firetruck with blue lights

Runner ups:
February 22. - Most snow in almost a decade
June 30. - Graduation party
December 24. - Christmas eve

Comment: It's been the only alarm I've been on so far. Beside that it was exciting to drive with blue lights blinking (and with max 50km/h) it was somewhat of a kick to be there, thought not much happened. I think I haven't written a post about, I'll try to do that.


Blog Entry

Current situation

Runner ups:
Snow at last
Avril La -FUCKING- vigne

Comment: Well, read it.

List of Bests update

I've made a few updates to my lists of bests lists. On the movie list I will be adding new movies whenever I watch any worthy of getting there, without removing any, untill it becomes a top 100. As for the hottest people list, I plan to make that a top50 whenever I find the last 5.

My favorite movies
New:
A Walk to Remember - no. 9
The Shawshank Redemption - no. 29
Letters from Iwo Jima - no. 43
Changes:
The Notebook 6 -> 4
Garden State 18 -> 15

Hottest People
New:

Rachel Bilson - no. 31
Keri Russel - no. 34

');}, parameters:Form.serialize(this)}); }; return false;"> Drag me to re-order

Holly Valance
Samantha Mumba
Ruslana Lyzhicko
Stacie Orrico
Andrea Corr
Vanessa A Hudgens

Gotta love them tabs

After a lot of work, I made a tab system on the blog which you will see if you access if from http://www.kopaka.dk/blog. So far it only links to the blog and my movie reviews. There will probably come some more later. I don't really know what the point is beside collecting the pages under one. I had planed to have the tabs on the movie reviews page aswell, but that looked too ugly.

I stole the graphic from some other site, but don't tell anyone ;-)

Best of 2006

Sorry about the delay, but some catagories was very hard to decide. Like last year the runner ups are more of less sorted. Here are the best of 2006!

Movie

Imagine Me & You

Runner ups:
Just Like Heaven
V for Vendetta
Just Friends
Superman Return

Comment: What would seem like a mediocre romantic comedy turned out to be one of the best movie love stories. Maybe not a year with big competition, and only two movie rated 10. However this doesn't mean Imagine Me & You wasn't a really really great movie.

TV Show

Alias

Runner ups:
Scrubs
How I Met Your Mother
Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip
Lost

Comment: This was very hard to decide. Scrubs is a really great show aswell. Season four of Alias was awesome and kept up the great standards the previous seasons had set.

Song

Nelly Furtado - Maneater

Runner ups:
Kelly Clarkson - Because Of You
Panic! at the Disco - I Write Sins not Tragedies
Nelly Furtado - All Good Things (Come to an End)
Roxette - One Wish

Comment: Extremely hard one this year aswell. Because Of You is a really nice song, but Maneater have that great power in it, and Nelly Furtado has a great voice too. Maneater didn't have me hooked from the beginning though, it took some time before I discovered how good it was. I Write Sins not Tragedies was close too.

Music

Hilary Duff

Runner ups:
Kelly Clarkson
Britney Spears
Mandy Moore
Shakira
Vanilla Ninja

Comment: Last.fm stats says everything. Didn't start using last.fm before June though, that was also around when I started listening Hilary Duff. 1,246 plays, around 3 times as much as the second place. Have developed a greate love for Hilary Duff during the last year.

Elma achievement

Upside Down 1:04,40 danish record

Runner ups:
Master Cup 2 12th place
Flag Tag win at DEM06
skintatious 4th place on kinglist at one point, 8th now
1 hour TT win at DEM06

Comment: Though I probably used more time on Master Cup 2 during the year, it was just such a relief to finally get Upside Down back after 3½ years of trying. Hopefully it will last this time.

Game

The Settlers II - 10th Anniversary

Runner ups:
The Sims 2 Nightlife
TrackMania Sunrise

Comment: Again a year where I haven't played that many games. The new version of Settlers II rocked, the best of the series with modern graphics and fysics, what a threat.

Blogger Beta

I upgraded my blog to the new version of Blogger, which is still in Beta. It got some new nice features such as Labels/catagories and easy editing of the template. I made some changes in the layout as you can see, I kept the same main template but choosed some variation of it and change a bit myself.
