jQuery

Added some javascript via jQuery library to improve user experience on the site regarding the left menu. I like it. Let's see what the jury thinks.

Beta to Prod

Promoted the BETA version of TR Connection that I've been working on to full production. Now let's see who complains!

Banners

Sharp-eyed users will note that TRC banners are not strictly advertisements. They may be a product involved, but it is always TR-related, whether music by a TR-Fan, a TR-related event or product, or whatever else pops up. I don't ask for a fee for these banners, but have accepted sample copies of product, and occasionally, the "advertiser" will make a contribution to the TR Connection PayPal account.

I've worked up a new banner application, although it won't necessarily be visible to anyone that there are any differences. It just makes it easier on me to put up a new banners. I'll be working on it some more, too, to develop some unique features.

I accidentally introduced a bug which affected some banners display. Found it and killed the bug.

Photo Gallery

Looks like some tour tags are not in the database. Better get that fixed!

Tour tags fixed, but still some sorting errors for Tours/Shows.

Now those are fixed!

Forgot that 2010 begins a new decade, so I better get to converting everything else that was credited to "The 2000's"

Turns out, I have been crediting 2010 photos as "decade2010." Just didn't have a label for it. That's been fixed.

Background images

The background images hidden behind the content of the TR Connection are selected at random from several that I created in the TRC's early days. They date back to 1996. It's time to update them.

Productions

I rediscovered an application I had written that uses the Scott Sheppard Utopian Discography and displays it from a database and not from the original text file.

I updated it to see beyond the year 2000, but it needs a bit of an overhaul.

In the process, I discovered a few technical errors in Scott's original list, and fixed them as well.
