..check it out the Foldi blog for updates on work, clients, etc...
Just finished some updates to thisisnotflash.com… a revised interface, faster code and four new interactive animations. thisisnotflash is a collection of interactive experiments using a touch-screen and basic javascript and CSS. Please visit using your iPhone or Android phone.

Got an iPad? Check out a new site Foldi just launched at ipadpixels.com. You’ll find a small collection of interactive animations that use the iPad’s touch screen as input.
Like thisisnotflash.com, the animations are driven using web standard Javascript and CSS2…no Flash, HTML5, Java, CSS3, etc..
I’ll be adding more animations…so please visit the Foldi blog or follow Foldi on Twitter for updates.
If you have any questions or comments, please add them below.
Foldi is happy to announce the launch of thisisnotflash.com, a web experiment meant to deliver animated pixels to web-connected mobile devices….even the Flash-restricted ones.
In May, 2000 I entered the 5K Contest, a competition to build a great web site in under 5K. Thinking that an entry with animation would surely stand out, I submitted this lame-ass MTA subway map. It only worked in Netscape Communicator 4.2 and IE5 and was completed while listening to Eminem’s “The Real Slim Shady” and nursing yet another launch party hangover.
Ten years later after purchasing an iPhone, the idea of creating animation in a browser using only web standard techniques came back to me. Staring at that little screen, it seemed that a combination of HTML, Javascript and CSS could surely get some pixels swimming around. After a little experimentation, I packaged up some demos and launched them on thisisnotflash.com.
You can link there now….or better yet, if you’re using an iPhone or a phone with the Android OS, check it out in your device’s browser. The code driving the demos uses current web standard HTML, Javascript and CSS….no Flash, HTML5, Java, CSS3, etc..
I’m currently working on enhancing the code and will post more demos along the way…so meanwhile, feel free to leave any comments below.
What you get from the CakePHP pagination helper is reason enough to use the CakePHP framework. However, what happens if you need to paginate results from multiple tables? I’ve set up a working demo to show an approach and have provided project files for download. In the app folder of the project files you’ll find a paginatedjoins.sql file to set up your tables. Remember to provide your own credentials in your config/database.php file.
Most CakePHP documentation assumes you’ll be working with tables in the same database. However, how do you query related data when your tables are spread across multiple databases? Fortunately, CakePHP makes this a breeze with the CakePHP model’s ‘useDbConfig’ variable and a little table prefix manipulation I picked up from this post in the CakePHP Google group.
Before the detailed explanation, you can view a working demo. Please note, this demo assumes you have basic knowledge of Cake models and associations.
