Need opinion for SureScene

Guys I need some opinions for SureScene.

My design for listing events goes something likes this -

 

Normal listing (even when you're not registered) 

It showcases the banners of events. I think it's better this way cause I know how many puts a lot of effort to their banners so it's better to display it than just a simple list. Per date could fit around 5-6 banners of events then it goes down (same like the front page of SureScene).

Now, I did this on the dashboard but my problem is when the events gets a lot it won't fit better than the previous img because of the side panel on the right. See -

Dashboard (where you get updates of event organizers you "follow") 

So you get only around half the space realty of the previous one cause of the side panel.

Now I am trying to redesign the dashboard for this and it came out like this-

Dashboard (where you get updates of event organizers you "follow") 

When you click on banner, it blows up like below 

So now I have kinda fixed it, but it brings me back to a normal listing where the banner is not so visible(well it still displays the banners but in thumbnail and one-click view)...

I also have a few arguments more like cause they are of two different purpose, one is for the normal listing (search/normal view) and the other is for dashboard (where you get updates and stuff). So, What do you guys think I should implement?

A little problem, a little opportunity

So I have my day job on a little problem lately. We're fixing it. It's nothing new. I think I've gotten used to this kinda problems. Yes I really hate it happening, over and over again. I can say it's fun though. Don't think of me as some masochist, I'm not. I just find the ups-and-downs fun. Hehe.

Anyway, I always find something good on a lot of things happening umn... not good. So I got to spend a lot of time now to work on my personal project SureScene. Got some big updates up and a lot of bug fixes like stuff. Well, if you have some comments, suggestion or problems need action immediately, now's the time to bring them up. :)

We finished moving

Hi guys. I'm back! Wasn't able to post anything before cause we were planning on moving, our 1 year contract on our place ended and we decided to move to a different place as well. Hehe.
So yah, now were finished moving but the place looks like a storage area for now. Haven't unpacked anything yet, will do it maybe on the weekends.
The place looks nice, a bit smaller than our previous place but I think it's much cooler and it's on tiles, much colder floor, Yeah :]!
And my muscles ache like hell right now. We've been moving stuff from our place downwards (2nd floor), then moving them back up (3rd floor) to the place we moved in. Haha. So me and my friends were like dead tired after moving all our stuff. >_<

Well as for my project surescene, I've done a few updates a while back and I got it back and running again.

A taste of Mongo

I'm having a lot of things to do lately. Lots of projects I'm thinking of doing, on top of projects I really have to do, and that is aside from my day job, Traxier (which I/we have to focus on for now because hard launch is approaching, early September this year I think).

So aside from Traxier, I'm trying to finish up alpha stage of SureScene as I want to get surescene something to do aside from just posting and sharing events and scenes.
I also have to learn design, webdesign. I have to come up with a nice design for a media site my friends and my brother are wanting their own site. Haha! I even bought a mouse to use just for designing (or maybe for playing SC2 when I get the chance to buy the game). :P Well layout-ing is easy as I've already got the taste of HTML and CSS, but playing with what color or image or design to do is harder than I thought, my designs always end up bland for my taste. XD

I also want to try and play with MongoDB right now. I'm trying to think of a simple app that could use the MongoDB so I could get a taste of how it works, and also get a feel of how NoSQL (schema-free / Document oriented DB's) works. I've already read and heard many things about it and just started installing it on Ayie.
Maybe after a few tries of MongoDB and getting the hang of what should be RDBMS and not in an application. I'll try implementing it on SureScene and see what it can do and maybe I'll get more involved in it.

And now I also want to try out HTML5's websocket, I bet this will change a lot for webdevelopment which was "usually" just one way.
