How Full is Your PaB?

One of the suggestions that have come up for iPaB has been some type of indicator of how full a wall container is... I think way back when I started this project, I had a similar idea -- not only would I like to know what parts are on the PaB wall, but how plentiful are they.  So I looked for a 'progress bar' example in CSS, found it simple enough to implement on a web page; added a field to the database, updated the form, did a little testing and voilĂ !  By indicating 'near full', you see the a bar like (6,1); 'near empty' will be like (5,1); 'quarter full' will be like '(6,2); 'half full' the bar will be like (6,3); and 'three quarters full' will be like (6,4).  I might work on touch up the graphic a little, but let me know what you think.  Hopefully you'll find is useful.

In the mean time, I've added two new stores, Brighton, UK and Milton Keynes, UK.

Updates

So friends aren't too keen on the tsunami idea... I was thinking something tasteful and respectful, but the idea was still shot down.  *sigh*  So back to the drawing board few a new water related idea...

Got an e-mail about adding the Liverpool, UK LEGO store the other day -- it's been added.  In the process off adding it, I noticed that there's to be a 2nd Toronto and Miami store, along with two new stores in California soon -- this is exciting.

Some new parts have been showing up on the wall as well -- I've been updating the database.  If I've missed anything, please let me know.

My LEGO Creations

DSC02107.jpg Festival of the Masters is coming up soon.  I've been spending some time thinking about what I'm going t build this year... Our theme is "Water, Water Everywhere."  A little silly, but with the tsunami that hit Japan earlier this year, it's a little apropos... Maybe I should do a flooded Japanese fishing village...

So to get inspired, I've been creating some galleries and a new MOC collection on Flickr of my LEGO creations.  I've also updated my MOCPages account to reflect my new LEGO creations as well.
