much todo
January 23rd, 2010We have completed the first round of testing on our iaps.todo project and found only a few small bugs that we need to take care of before we start our 2nd of 3 rounds of testing. Thanks again to all who helped alpha test todo!
For those of you who don’t know what iaps.todo is all about, here’s a quick summary: todo was born out of necessity for some sort of issue/task tracking service for company-related projects. todo offers the abilities to submit a bug/issue, task, file upload and image upload. It then sorts everything in 2 ways: 1) it divides the entries into 3 sections:
- my tasks (todo),
- tasks i assigned and recently completed,
- tasks i assigned that haven’t been completed.
Each section is sorted by 2) the date the entry was submitted from most recent to least recent. todo also allows you to comment on entries and view your history.
When the time comes to bring todo live we will create accounts for all of our clients and email everyone their username and instructions on how to setup a password. In the meantime, keep checking up on progress! We hope to have todo live by mid next week!!! 
Also, todo will only be available for clients until our semi-planned 2nd version of todo is released which will allow much more control over users, projects and entries!
iaps.todo in development!
January 22nd, 2010Our company made issue tracking application, codename: iaps.todo, is almost ready to go live. By Monday we should have a working model to being our beta testing period which should last 3-5 days. We hope you enjoy a more organized and project-efficient interactivepoint solutions! More to come….
Image Sizing in HTML/CSS
January 19th, 2010If you are working on a small project and no one has the time to go in and resize all images to fit a specified area, I have a quick fix for you. This fix only works when the specified area is restricted by either height or width: img {width: 180px; height: *%; }. This will resize the image height to a relative value of the scaled width.
It works both ways:
img {height: 100px; width: *%;}
This has only been tested in FireFox. It may distort the image a little bit, but not nearly as much as it would if you used defined values for both width and height: img {width: 100px; height: 125px;}
Playing music (mp3s) from ../public_html
January 16th, 2010Hey everyone. I’m looking for a solution that will allow mp3s to play from a private directory below the public_html directory. For instance, all my mp3s are in the “/home/user/private/” directory while my web-files reside in “/home/user/public_html/”. The problem with this setup is that the client side needs a client path: “www.iaps.ca/private”, but since the “private” directory is below the “public_html” directory, the client-side cannot see those files.
Programmically, I can get a directory listing using PHP and display all the files and I could create a script that will show a pop-up download box for private files so people can download them, but I cannot play/embed them.
Any sort of solution that would prevent users from downloading files but allow those files to play or be embedded would be great.
If anyone knows of a solution, please let me know!
Thanks in advance.

New Developments
January 11th, 2010We recently finished the Comda project over the holidays. We made very good time considering our busy holiday. The client is very pleased with the result and so are we. Check out this project, and all of our other client-projects, in our portfolio.
Happy Holidays!
December 22nd, 2009Holiday Hours: Our office will be closed from December 23rd to December 27th. We will re-open for 3 days (28th-30th) and then re-close for December 31st and January 1st. Drive safe, Happy Holidays and New Year!
What’s new in 2010? A lot! We have 3 projects under development with 7 more starting in January/February. We are also in the planning stages of our small business, non-proprietary CMS solution. We don’t have much information to release on this project yet, but we expect to release full project specifications by the end of February.
