I’ve been busy writing an application and database to store my collection of video games in. It’s finally at a stage where I consider it “complete”. I’ve put my application and my collection of games online here:

I wrote this for my own personal use, but figured that somebody else might want to make use of it, so I’m releasing it to the world. Note this is not for the non-techie and you’ll need to know a fair bit about PHP, MySQL and so forth to get it running. I’m providing this “as-is” with no support or help (other than the info below) and the code is covered by GPL. If you want to use this I’d be interested so please let me know (out of curiosity really!).

I’ve created a module for Joomla that will display images from flickr. I had a hunt round the web but couldn’t find a module that did this; which was suprising as I’d guessed that lot of people would be wanting to display their flickr images on their Joomla/Mambo website. So in the end I decided to write my own!

Update I’ve updated the module and v1.1 is available for Download - this version supports group photo pools.
I’m simply using the ‘badge’ functionality that flickr provide and wrapping it into a little module with some user definable parameters.
