Because of the TD Banknorth and Commerce Bank merger that took place. My department has been asked to move to New Jersey. Seeing I live in Maine and my family is all up in this direction, I have declined to go down to NJ.

I am currently employed as a Database/Reporting developer with TD Bank. I will no longer be employed on July 17th. Even though I will recieve severance, I will be out of a job then. However, I am not one bit anxious about this at this time. I am looking forward to doing something new and exciting!!!

So, what does that mean for my partime business, TechniPixel Solutions? Nothing!!!

I will still continue on with it. As a matter of fact, this may be the time to market myself a little better. I know the economy is in rough shape, but we will see what fate has in store for me. I am opened to anything at this point. This is a great time to try something new and challenging!!!

If anyone has any contract work that they want to send my way, please contact me.

Thanks for your support

We have updated our flash based Countdown Clock with a bug fix and a graphic cosmettic change. We lightened the “glass” look white area to be a little lighter. We also fixed a bug with the “Days” number display. If you set days in the xml to two digits, it would add an extra zero on the display.

Get updated version here: http://www.technipixel.com/countdownclock.htm

We have added a new web hosting option. We now provide FREE hosting for a one page site only — developed in Html or Flash.

The only cost is that a customer would have to pay for the development and editing of site. The only requirement is that we place our ad on your page.

We have move the web page for TechniPixel Labs…
(located at http://labs.technipixel.com) to a new location…

http://www.technipixel.com/labs.htm

However, we are still using the http://labs.technipixel.com location as an actual testing ground. There is still a basic page there, but it points to the new location.

We have finally finished our new web site!! It took roughly 26 hours to redo. We hope you find the new look much better. Here are a few changes…

• Some of the Flash Widgets were removed (not being downloaded)
• The whole site is more CSS compliant now… looks the same on most all browsers
• The donations page and sales pitch was removed… I only got one donation.
• The Page Peel widget was removed because of FireFox, Safari and Chrome bugs in their browsers
• Some of our samples on portfolio page were removed for now. Will be adding them later
• Added a whole new Portfolio Flash gallery
• Two sponsors were removed because their product is free now.
• Added a new Testimonial
• Put our Web apps on the Products page and now call it Weblications
• A lot of the information that was on the old menu has been moved to the Tech Support page.

We have had our current web site at TechniPixel for over a year now and the same design when it was “Our Web Zone.”

So, we have decide to develop a new CSS compliant web site with a more modern look to it. You can see a sample of the new site here…

Note… this site is not operational… it is just for your viewing purposes. You may see changes as time goes by. So, keep checking back to see the TechniPixel web site!!

After creating a Flash PagePeel with no script involved, I have just discovered that transparent Flash has issues in FireFox, Chrome, Safari and most mozilla based browsers.

The issus is not that the Flash can not be transparent on top of html content, but that you can not click any links if they are under the transparent area of the SWF file itself. Thus… inaccessible links.

I have not found a solution to this issue. If anyone knows how to get by this please leave a comment. Until then, transparent Flash is only useable on IE (75% of market share anyways).

We strive to offer quality service to our customers and we would like our customers and the web site users of our free products to be able to leave a testimonial comment. So, we have created a page on our site to display their comments. Feel free to submit your comments if you are a user or customer of TechniPixel. You can also leave a comment on our blog that we may use as well.

We here at TechniPixel are always looking for new exciting things. There is a new craze of advertising call “Peel Away Ads.” These ads usally are located in the top right or left of a web page that has a small page “ear.” When a user rools there mouse over the page ear, the page peels back to reveal an ad.

We developed one for ourselves totally from the ground up. However, ours doesn’t use any scripting or php to use and ours is very easy to setup with just a simple DIV style/css tag.

We are offering anyone who donates $5.00 or more to TechniPixel is get thee own Page Peel ad free! All you have to do is supply the ad design (or we will make it) and we will send you a zip file of the Page Peel solution.
