Rocksmith Song Search 2.0 [Update: 2018-08-15]
Posted: , By
Song packs are now searchable using a cross reference table containing artist and song IDs. Doing so was a major undertaking, 262 packs were modified and audited while 1094 reference entries were manually added into the database.
Big news, the search query has been greatly refined to just five generated conditions. The refinement is a big logic break through. I basically discovered that anything can be accurately found just by looking for the first and last word in the search terms. The spelling pattern now applies to words greater than four characters and has a simply applied “s” clause.

Blog Update 2016-03-04

My blog’s layout is now one inch wider, and can switch to a slightly smaller width when resized. For a long time the headline images was made with a 720 pixel width, and was displayed at 645 pixels. Now we can all enjoy the full size of the images. Users of the Rocksmith Song Search service will be happy to take advantage of the wider area. Some blog theme issues have also been fixed.
Recently I finished an administrative service I call the Backup Module. This module creates ZIP archives for backup profiles. Very handy for downloading the server files or uploading files. Next on the list of things to do, is design the theme for my I.T. website. I hope to go into production of my video game in May.

The blog is now more mobile friendly. Thanks to a mobile theme adaptation I designed. Visitors can now browse my blog with their mobile devices easier.
Browser Pusher, a web browser detection script I created has also been updated for better mobile detection and can detect the Edge browser. Mobile users will automatically view the mobile layout.
Visitors will also notice that the top menu now floats at the top of the screen. Except for the oldest browser I support: Internet Explorer 7.
Page titles now display the correct bread crumbs for categories.
Loading pages no longer flash the background.
Rearrangement of JavaScript placement should help decrease page rendering time, pages should load faster.
A fix for the footer has been made for Microsoft’s Edge browser which had a height issue.
The projects page has updated to list projects from 2015 (last year).
