The Lazarus Corporation Text Mixing Desk v2.0

Skip the boring stuff, take me to the Text Mixing Desk v2.0 I wrote the original Lazarus Corporation Text Mixing Desk back in 2004 - a first attempt to see what I could do with text manipulation in PHP. It wasn’t very good code, but it worked (sort of) and a lot of people liked it. Ten years later I have finally got round to recoding it. It’s still not brilliant code, but it’s a little better, a bit more secure, and easier for me to maintain. Given that I seem to have a 10-yearly release cycle(!) I haven’t spent too much time making sure this works with older browsers. I’ve used the new range form-field input types that come with HTML5, and while I’ve tried to add some fall-back JavaScript I doubt it will ever work properly in old browsers, particularly Internet Explorer 8 or 9. I remember all-too-well the days when websites would be emblazoned with warnings like “Optimized for Netscape Navigator 3” and I don’t want to return to them, but I have to weigh that up against how many hours I want to spend on workarounds for the failings of older browsers. And the answer is: not many. Just upgrade - it’s safer and more secure. – Paul Watson, September 2014 Go an play with the Text Mixing Desk v2.0

Website Updates

A few updates about the website: Firstly, we’ve enhanced the Shop pages by adding several small “detail” and “making of” photos to each page - for example here. We hope they will make buying artwork easier! These additional photos aren’t available if you're viewing the site with a smartphone or small tablet yet - only on larger tablets and laptops/desktops, but we are working on making them available on smaller screens. Secondly, we’ve added a new Events section to give you forthcoming notice of any events in which artists and writers affiliated with the Lazarus Corporation are taking part. And finally we’ve added a new gallery for Alice Kemp, detailing her new Doll Portraits. Check it out!
