[QUOTE=ben1066;44849039]It's not much compared to the stuff I see here, and web isn't generally where I work but I've published my blog which I've implemented using Django. Any constructive criticism is much appreciated.

I think it's a bit tricky to read right now, having to read wide lines of text like that can be laborious.
Have you tried thinner designs or column based layouts to break up the content?

I can certainly make the layout thinner, then I end up with lots of blank space when you look at it on say a 1920x1080 monitor, if I added a sidebar that would fill some of the space but I'm not really sure what I'd put there right now, or do you mean something else by columns?

Whitespace is not a bad thing and you don't have to try to fill every inch of available space. I don't understand where people get that idea. Whitespace is your friend. Do [B]not[/B] just add shit to take up more space, that's a horrible thing to do.

For the best readability your text should be somewhere around 50-75 characters wide. Type the alphabet twice and use that as a ruler to set your font size and the width of your content area properly.

Which looks better, the first or second?

[KmartSqrl]

First one. It's more obvious that it's a button. Maybe try right-aligning it?

[Chizbang]

I have this code here to parse a public key in RSA:

    var pek = "-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----\
                        MIGfMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBAQUAA4GNADCBiQKBgQDVd/gb2ORdLI7nTRHJR8C5EHs4\
                        RkRBcQuQdHkZ6eq0xnV2f0hkWC8h0mYH/bmelb5ribwulMwzFkuktXoufqzoft6Q\
                        6jLQRnkNJGRP6yA4bXqXfKYj1yeMusIPyIb3CTJT/gfZ40oli6szwu4DoFs66IZp\
                        JLv4qxU9hqu6NtJ+8QIDAQAB\
                        -----END PUBLIC KEY-----";

              var certKey = certParser(pek);  

Then I get:

Uncaught ReferenceError: certParser is not defined

This is my file: [url]http://pastebin.com/ujgVCMwW[/url]

The JS files are reading fine, as I tried going to those files in my browser and they load up fine... Whats going on?

[KmartSqrl]

certParser is not defined.

If that is the right function name I would assume that your problem is that your code is running before all the scripts are downloaded. Wrap it in a document ready event handler.

[Chizbang]

I have the function called whenever I press a button so the document is fully loaded, however I did just try it with the document ready function in JQuery and still no dice.

[KmartSqrl]

if you open your browser console can you run the function from there without any errors?

[Chizbang]

Nope, all the same. I think it might be the framework im trying to use, although I dont see how because it works fine on their website and im using exactly the same scripts as them (afaik)

If you would link to a live version of it we'll probably be able to spot the issue.

[HarryG321]

Where exactly did you define the certParser() function? I don't see it in any of those .js files...

[Chizbang]

Oh wait, the tutorial im following is really badly written. Just been looking and it completely misses out a function thats crucial to the scripts operation. I got it!

Working on a web-replica of Sublime Text, right now it only supports loading files from server, and syntax highlighting using CodeMirror.

The reason i'm making it is that i'm not always on my own computer, and might not have any text editor or sFTP client installed.

I'd love to use this. (And contribute?)

Didnt know CodeMirror supported textareas? Or am I thinking of something else?

[QUOTE=Chizbang;44877893]Didnt know CodeMirror supported textareas? Or am I thinking of something else?[/QUOTE]

CodeMirror doesn't support them because you can't have syntax highlighting inside of a textarea. Instead, it performs wizardry with HTML and event-based everything.

[QUOTE=Svenskunganka;44877565]Make git support! :v:[/QUOTE]

As in loading/saving files to git repositories? That's going to take quite a while, so i'll have to postpone that a bit.

Just bought a Ducky Shine 3 (MX blue, white LED) to replace my Quickfire TK (MX red). I really miss having dedicated 10keys and reds don't really feel that great when programming.

I can't figure out why that happens, I think it's something like having table-cells inside of table-cells, the hacky fix is setting the input width higher and I think css width acts like max-width for some reason, but I'll look at it again

Statusmonitoring! It also grabs memory, CPU usage etc... Statistics are sent over HTTP(S) so I can use anything like bash, C# and all that. Backend is written in C# with ASP.NET - the Windows agents are Windows Services written in C#. Pretty proud. :) First real project in C#!

Design isn't all that great, but works! Oh, first time I use AngularJS too, love it so far.

Looks really neat.

Many thanks! I may open source it at some point, we'll see.
