So, What Am I Doing Again?

Hi all. As you may be aware we are currently experiencing some problems with our checkout and it's not working. This is because our merchant suddenly decided after 6 years of a great and prosperous working relationship that they weren't willing to process transactions from a site with 'adult' content such as our own.

We are currently working on an alternative checkout system but it's taking a little bit longer then we'd like. If you'd still like to place an order you can do so via bank transfer or cheque. Please email jo@coffeesh0p.com with what you'd like and which method you'd prefer and I'll get back to you with the relevant details.

Apologies for any inconvenience and huge thanks to those of you persevering with placing orders with us. We will definitely be back up and running properly soon but you guys are keeping us going in the meantime!
- John & Jo

So, What Am I Doing Again?

I've spent all my time recently developing this blog and ironing out any flaws, that I've completely forgotten what it was I was supposed to be developing in the first place. I know I originally coded this blog so I could talk to people about our ideas and progress so far, but progress towards what, exactly, has escaped me.

In a desperate bid to remember what the hell I'm up to, I did what any webmaster would do - Check the forums! (And no, these aren't the Drugs Discussion Forums, these are the Coffeesh0p.org Secret Forums!) I happened across a few interesting bits of information which I thought I'd share with everyone today.

Idea #1: Autocomplete Searching - When we were looking at all the other drugs information sites out there, we (and everyone else we asked) found that actually finding the information about a particular substance was a bit of a pain in the arse. TalkToFrank is a visual nightmare, not to mention takes a while to load on a slow connection, since it's flash. Erowid's front page looks quite nice and dynamic, but again, navigating from that page and sourcing out the drug you're after requires too much effort. And it's exactly the same for Lycaeum. So what's going to be different about Coffeesh0p.org? An Autocomplete search feature, that automatically suggests the drug you might be searching for. You can see an example at the top of this page, if you're using Internet Explorer 7 or FireFox - Type in "salvia" or "seeds", for example and see what happens. For Coffeesh0p.org, this will be incorporated into the massive database of drugs information we'll hopefully have accumulated. The rationale behind this is that you arrive at the front page, type in about four letters of what you want and BAM, the exact thing you're looking for is staring you in the face.

So, by next week, I hope I'll have a bit more of an idea of what's going on, and write about another one of our ideas.
