SmoothGallery and Ravelry
23 December 2007 by Alicia Ramirez
Yarn crafts where supposed to offer me an escape from TV and the computer, but being me, I ended up merging two of them. I joined Ravelry.
I’m loving it. If you knit, crochet, spin or do anything else with yarn, you should join. It’s worth the wait.
Another thing I’m loving is Ravelry’s API. It allows you to pull data about your projects and use it for different purposes. Using the sample scripts given and the API (in the form of a JSON file) I’ve made two simple galleries.
The first one is a sidebar list of projects I’m working on (with a progress bar), and my most popular projects in Ravelry (users can add other people’s projects as favorites). It can be seen in my Yarn-head category list.
For the second one, using JonDesign’s SmoothGallery, I made a slideshow/gallery that shows all projects that have pictures. It can be seen in this Demo page.
Remember Me
11 May 2006 by Alicia Ramirez
One of my favorite games as a kid was playing concentration. It’s such a simple game, but I always enjoyed it immensely. So I decided to go back in time, hence the graphics and colours.
It has three levels based on the number of cards: 4×4, 6×6 and 10×10. It also lets you set the speed at which cards flip back: 2 sec., 1 sec. and 0.5 sec. And it allows you to choose from 3 sets of images. The drawings in each set are dingbats from Pizzadude (set 1) and Divide by Zero (sets 2 and 3).
Enjoy!
Cryptograma
19 April 2006 by Alicia Ramirez
A bilingual flash game of one of my favorite word puzzles, Crytogram (also known as Cryptoquote). I searched the net for it, and since I didn’t find one I liked I made my own. Not too many phrases on each language, but I’ll keep adding more. Hope you enjoy it. Let me know if you find any bugs.
Mayan Math

A flash animation that teaches how Mayan base 20 math worked, and how they represented numbers. It allows you to create your own numbers, or to see how a particular number would be represented.
