[QUOTE=anton2;31766360]I still have no idea why this has a white box

Yeah, I thought I removed that, let me try again

The about me text as well as the about me paragraph are hardly readable.

That was intentional, he said he wanted it really small so that most people don't see it (for obvious reasons)

Why is it so dark?

[KmartSqrl]

Should I start blogging about design/dev stuff?

[TehWhale]

Yes, you are an awesome designer

[QUOTE=KmartSqrl;31764085]I'd like to see a tool like Muse built by someone who actually understands why hand coding is better and who doesn't add anything unless they make it spit out code that is just as clean as something would be if it were hand coded. Something that asks you for IDs and class names, that uses the new semantic tags from HTML5. Sort of a hybrid between what muse will end up being and a regular text editor. You hand code tricky parts that need hand coding and are able to tweak things like padding and margins and font sizes/families/spacing/whatever in the visual view without it generating more random messy markup.[/QUOTE]

I do this with the chrome developer view. Of course you then have to copy the changes over.

This is the website I'm currently working on:

[url]http://canterlothalls.net/[/url]

I haven't coded the main page yet, due to the lack of content. Although I have coded a rather large part of the image viewer:

[url]http://canterlothalls.net/pictures/view/1/Rainderp[/url]

In case you want to check it out.

It is meant to be a hub where people can share their [u]own[/u] pictures concerning MLP FIM. I don't know yet how I will enforce it though. I wonder how DeviantArt does it.

What do you think about the overall design?

Using 3" sprites on the web? Solution: blow 'em up:

[Sharpshooter]

Can you not use 2x sal scaling to scale the images?

Might be worth a shot, heres the wikipedia article: [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pixel_art_scaling_algorithms[/url]

[cryticfarm]

yeah i think mspaint resizes that way

[editline]17th August 2011[/editline]

you could try zooming with the magnifying glass and taking screenshots

I think MS paint just makes every pixel bigger just giving you the same picture with larger pixels, the sal algorithm is shown on the right hand side of the image on wikipedia, it actually re-samples the image or whatever to maintain the same level of detail with smaller pixels.

[cryticfarm]

crap i thought it was the one on the left

[Weiss]

If you use Paint.NET (which I doubt! Photochop everywhere up in this bitch) you can always resize on the 'nearest neighbour' setting, which will forego such niceties as anti-aliasing or averaging colors and merely make one pixel into more of the same color. Then I doubt Photoshop lacks this.

Also it always annoyed me how there's Pokemon remakes but not Pokemon-esque games, something in the vein of Jade Cocoon or a Pokemon battle system version of Impossible Creatures would be totally awesome. And also circumvent all the fun potential lawsuits.

[KmartSqrl]

Sweet I get to make an interactive version of that last design I posted because the client loved it and wants to see it in action. Flash, but it's contract work through another design firm so they know the implications of using flash, which means I just get to have fun working on it :)

The external contractors which run my school's IT infrastructure locked my account because I said on Facebook that I could do a better job than they could (every person I talk to has valid complaints about them). I had a project I was working on saved on my network drive there, looks like it's gone.

[editline]18th August 2011[/editline]

There has to be some form of legislation that prevents that sort of crap. It's not like it was even slander; it's a true fact.

I've (probably) been hired by my school's business manager to code up a web app for them to manage their low-cost items (anything the school owns worth less than $1000 and more than $20).

to be honest, it's not slander or anything but it is incredibly annoying when people act like that on facebook anyway so you shouldn't do that kind of stuff regardless of what the school will do

Except I'm not. When their solution to 'school proxy' is Microsoft Forefront TMG and a blanket block on every single site except Google, you start to get a little bit frustrated.

[editline]18th August 2011[/editline]

Oh yeah, and it's been five years and my school's site still doesn't work without the 'www.' prefix.
And it uses Flash. And DotNetNuke.

Educational organisations are almost obliged to use Microsoft products since they receive them at an incredibly discounted rate.

So much hate on flash now, despite the fact it was at the forefront at making the web a much more interactive engaging experience. Its kinda sad.

Registered the domain, setup the nameservers, and coded the HTML all while I was on the phone going over a client's website with him.

So I've just spent two weeks in a fucking hot country with no internet and air conditioning / swimming pool. Looks like I've missed loads!

You're not a microsoft sysadmin. Trust me. Setting up large networks is much harder than it looks, especially when you have to manage tons of stuff besides just the "internet proxy".

To be honest, a whitelist IS the best method for blocking sites. There's too many ways around filters otherwise. Blocking proxy sites on HTTPS is even harder. Having a whitelist eliminates this problem.
