Ok. This is the new website:
http://www.fusioncontrolcentre.com/F...alog/index.php
It is an
extreme overhaul. It took me many many many hours to get this working. It is still not done. I will not update the link in my signature until it is completely done, but I would like to get some opinions from you guys who have been following the product.
Please let me know what you think, vote on the products, right a review if you are a beta tester, or overzealous psychic.
If you are going to buy from the store, google checkout does not work. Neither does FedEx shipping. If you want FedEx, it is UPS-ish rates, so choose the UPS bubble, and when you pay, either include a note in the paypal, or email us, or both.
I hope to get that resolved soon as well as the google problem. Generic "Oops, it didnt work" messages are pretty stupid and hard to figure out the problem. Good going bagillionaires google.
Also the links at the top. The Software, and News are broken. That is because there is no page there. You can click them, and an awesome php error will await you. Nothing special there.
Also with the top links, if you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer, you will see a fancy nancy security feature blocking my awesome flash buttons. Click it once, and it should be ok. I worked hard on those buttons, so bask in their glory.
Opera and FireFox display them correctly. If you have issues please post them or email them.
The website will eventually have a workaround for IE6 and IE7, but not yet. You have to love security features that can be bypassed with a few lines of javascript.
Also there will be 4 languages hopefully. 2 definately. English and French. If you know a second language pretty fluently, or were in probably Language level 3 in highschool or something, and want something to do in your spare time (
) you can just translate what is on the english version to your language, email it to us at
FusionControlCentre@gmail.com with Subject:TRANSLATED SITE and the language. I will add it to the site, and include a flag of the country.
English and French will be done. If you are good at french, you can do it if you want, but I know I can handle that one. I am Canadian after all.
Chinese Simplified and Dutch will hopefully be the 2 other for sures. Chinese will probably come in 6 months or so. Dutch hopefully sooner. So extra brownie points to you if you know either.
And yes we can store unicode characters so the characters are fine if you do chinese/japanese/korean/hebrew
If you want Klingon or Elvin, I'm all for it. Just send it to me. I am a nerd, so I'll let it fly. Want 1337? Sure, why the hell not.
Ok... Other than that, I think it is all done.
EDIT: I also want to give a
shout out to the brilliant coders at
Unisys around 1995, the developers of the *.png format. I have never really used this format, but I decided to try it out, why the hell not. Well as the name says "
Picture
Not
Gif", I wont be using *.gif's again for areas where I want transparency. If you resize your browser window while in the store, a very very rudimentary scaling and layering effect using png files keeps the header looking ok. Until you get below 600 pixels wide. I thought it was nifty, and spent the better part of 10 minutes on it, so enjoy. One of those things nobody notices because your screen resolution rarely changes, so it always look normal to you. But now you have a chance to look at it from the perspective of someone who
doesn't have a 1600x1200 resolution monitor.
/EDIT
PLEASE DO NOT ORDER THE ULTRASONIC OR IR DISTANCE SENSORS. They are not yet fully tested. If you order them, we will first laugh at you, and then put that order on severe backorder pending the condition it actually works. The beta of the ultrasonic should arrive at my house before 2pm for me to assemble (yay for 300 solder points by hand
) and the IR sensor should get to Tim in a week.
Again, please let me know what you think. And enjoy.
