This website was done for a friend. He needed a presence on the Web to honour his favorite magician. At that time, I was discovering jQuery and I thought it could be a nice project to test my skills.

So the journey began. I have to admit, it was a blast! I’ve put the site on a free host to get feedbacks in real-time from him. We had excellent back and forth communication. I was pleased with the end result. It tuned out better than expected.

Interested by the ‘Making Of’ of this website? In this article, I go back to the roots of the project and I detail the progress that occurred until the end. I conclude with a post-mortem on what went wrong… and right! Also, I give some insight for the future of this website.

MyClipboard is an open source application written by Arjuna Marambe and modified by me. I needed an application to save mutliple entries and then paste them using numerical keys. I didn’t find anything I liked so I went to SourceForge.

Many projects I tried were … special in their own way. To the contrary, MyClipboard is very sleek and user-friendly. I liked it right away! I also learned that the clipboard mechnism is a bit more complex than it seems.
