Site Update - CMS & Content

The site has been updated with content that was missing from the portfolio in the past and a few parts of the CMS have been re-written & optimized.  The Projects, Archives, and Game Portal have been updated, along with new pages for 3D Printing, Embedded Systems, and Hardware.

Site Update - PHP & SSL

PHP version updated to 8.3 and SSL enabled for the whole site.  It’s been a long time in the works but the live system is now in line with the PHP version and configuration of the Development environment.

Forum Offline

The forum has been taken offline and archived.  It ran its course and SMF was a great forum which I would utilize again with similar configuration and customizations.

Server Migration

Hosting provider server migration happened today.

Gym Clock

It's been a while since I've posted some new content and today I have an update I think you'll find useful! 

The Gym Clock was created in HTML & Javascript to time sets of exercises and the tool evolved to have the ability to record laps, count up/down, show real time, change colors and more!  It can be used to time anything you can think of, or simply as a basic digital clock.

Besides the online version, I've provided a standalone and downloadable copy available on the Gym Clock page.

RPG Game and Site Updates

I have completed an old flash game file which I had lying around on the computer.  The RPG Game is an action / adventure turn based battle game where the objective is to level up and defeat the final boss.  One idea I finalized was the “RPG Builder” where after the game is beat you can customize the game configuration using the RPG Builder.  In order for this to happen most of the game variables had to be defined in functions to load / reset the configuration when changes are made.  The game will also save your last configuration in browser cache for 3Dmitchell.com.

Check it out, use magic spells to defeat your opponents, and submit your high score!

In general maintenance, the site has been cleaned up a little and the projects page has been updated.

Miner Mayhem & Super Mitchio Complete

Miner Mayhem & Super Mitchio have been completed!  They have custom scoreboards integrated and received substantial updates from their previous versions.  The games were incomplete prior as they were missing reliable scoreboards, had some code issues, and needed some graphical elements to be redesigned.  There were large lapses in time where no work was being done and the games were left "as-is".  As of today they have reached their final versions and should be fully functional in all aspects.

Miner Mayhem was started in 2011 and Super Mitchio was started in 2009.

iPadBacklight Site

I have developed a client site which is being shared - iPadBacklight.  The site is running my custom CMS platform.  E-commerce is in the works for the platform and will be a separate module.  If you have any questions, please contact me.

Quake Live Rail Game & CMS Updates

Welcoming in the new year I’ve added the Quake Live Rail Game to the projects page, flashwork page, and archives page.  The CMS has also been updated further to support more functionality.

eJuice Calculator

I’ve developed an eJuice Calculator that I am releasing on my site.  Before making this calculator I found an eJuice Calculator from Tod Muller that didn’t quite fit my needs.  It was accepting improper inputs which would display negative percentages and didn’t seem to provide any baseline error checking.  I couldn’t find a mathematical source for a similar eJuice Calculator in my quick searches so I went ahead and developed my own that allows for variable Drops/ml, 7 Flavors, Water, and Alcohol percentages.  The negative values should not show up in the recipe and will display an error message when incorrect values are present such as having a higher Target mg/ml than the Base mg/ml.  Check it out at 3Dmitchell eJuice Calculator, save your favorite recipes and share them!

The headers of all the pages have been changed to implement a text-shadow property if your browser supports it and I have cleaned up a couple pieces of the site which would be unnoticeable to the end user.  A couple of modifications were made to the account/administration sections and I built a dynamic API System to assist tracking/exporting of data.
