Javascript GDA converting

I am trying to figure out some very basic javascript, the hope is that eventually we may be able to construct Louise's(http://www.louiselawlor.blogspot.com) 3Cubed project which examined peoples intake of food and placed the results in ingredients tables(http://www.louiselawlor.co.uk/3cubed.htm) into some form of interactive website. However Javascript is very new and quite difficult to me, also unsure of whether we'd need something like PHP to store the results while they send to a result... and how much customization we can get with Javascript. (Trying to present them in the same way as her original projects)

See the quick example I've had a go at thus far, which converts the number of packets of crisps you've eaten to tell you the ammount of fat and the % that is of your GDA

Obvisously this is very simple but hey I'm a beginner. If you have any advice how we'd go about building this just give me a buzz

Old school internet

I am currently trying to collect lost things of the internets, right click warnings, dodgy gifs, midi files and pages made on the express page interest me. Do you remember angelfire, geocities, lycos, or maxpages? Did you adorn webpages with guestbooks, counters, animated gifs and brightly coloured and massively padded tables?

If you have old internet junk you wish to share with me please email it to me@amythornley.co.uk

P.S. Do you remember frames? http://victorian.fortunecity.com/brambles/4/frames/

DIY Screen Printing

Reblogged from Louise Lawlor's blog:

This is mine and Amy's first attempt at screen printing. We made the screen using a cheap photo frame and a mesh fabric stapled over it and then covered each side with the emulsion and exposed the image onto it using the sun (which took several attempts to get the timing right)
For a first attempt I think it was a great success, needs more work to get the timing just right, also the material we used was a little too thin so it let ink through even with the emulsion on it.

Stay tuned for the 2nd attempt!
