Ok just a small update post, to show you that I am not dead, lost, gone crazy or anything else. The GUI of WallPaper is still under heavy development and I am looking for the nicest way to manage this 22.000+ wallpaper library. So here are some screenshots. Not every screen is made yet, but it [...]

So here are some more pics of the WallPaper for iPhone application. The collection of wallpapers is still growing because of our very nice source TheWallpapers.org. The loading of the wallpapers is speed up by resizing them (on server) to the resolution closest matching to the iPhone resolution.The cool thing is, that this is all taken [...]

I tried so many photo/media management tools that I actually lost count and they never satisfied my needs.

Posted on 08. Sep, 2009 by Wim Haanstra.
I have been playing around with jQuery a bit lately and I wanted to use the nice dialog boxes on my new project. The problem with the dialog boxes is, that they do not create a postback when one of the buttons is clicked. Also the values of any controls inside the dialog are always [...]
