and the bar on the left i wanted to do with css, but couldnt figure it out :([/QUOTE]
I'd start to convert all images to CSS. Just ask us if you get stuck :)

and remove the horizontal scrolling

It's a bit heavy on one side and empty on the other. You might find advantages in splitting the content area into 2 columns maybe?
[QUOTE=Oicani Gonzales;39782856]you mean dividing the content area in 2 columns?[/QUOTE]
yes, dividing and splitting are the same.
[QUOTE=Oicani Gonzales;39782856]i'm trying to do this but on inspection (with chrome) it says white-space is set to pre, even though it's not explicited anywhere, and if i set white-space to normal it doesnt work
sos

Why are you using <pre></pre> anyways?
Just use divs, and it'll fix itself :)
Why not use <pre>?
[editline]3rd March 2013[/editline]
Oh wait, it's not for monospace.
Why use <pre>?
[QUOTE=Oicani Gonzales;39783779]it's the only way i found to make the box effect apply
what should i use instead?

You need to use divs and padding.
[QUOTE=KmartSqrl;39778770]Finally using heroku for the first time, and I'm pretty impressed. I'm building my own version of 750words.com because that one is going pay-only soon and I have some cool ideas for doing my own version.[/QUOTE]
First bare-bones version is live at [url]http://www.daily750.com[/url]
No explanation anywhere on the site yet, but it's a platform for doing [url=http://juliacameronlive.com/basic-tools/morning-pages/]morning pages[/url]. Everything you really need to get started is built already. I've got a lot of cool ideas for analyzing people's writing and giving them stats on it that I want to build now that the basics are done, but I'm probably going to polish up the current experience a bit more first. I also really want to play around with doing some kind of gamification.
Today (5-10 minutes ago) I jumped into jQuery, it seems like it's gibberish. I get some basics I guess, is it good to start off with jQuery rather than directly JavaScript?
Reason I want to do this is because I want to port over my website and see if I can get a better look with HTML/CSS/jQuery etc :v:
bollocks wrong thread

It's called using div tags. You have to style them though, and define stuff such as width, display, line-height, all that confusing stuff. :v:

Learn some Javascript basics first, it's better to know how the actual language you're using works rather than having to aimlessly take bits and pieces of code together because you don't know how the mechanics of a language work.
jQuery makes me so lazy. I know JavaScript alright and can whip up some magic with it, but when it comes to front end development, all I really care about is some simple DOM and CSS manipulation and AJAX stuff.
Is lazy the right word? Doing those things [i]without[/i] jQuery is such a pain that I'd class it as a modern convenience like not having to grow vegetables in your garden.

I'm flooded with school work, I managed to do this in a few minutes though.
That is sexy.

Which is exactly why I refuse to learn raw JS. I'll learn it when I [I]need[/I] it and frankly, I haven't so far.
Can we all please stop acting as if Javascript === DOM.

When it comes to front end stuff I like to use JQuery as well as KnockoutJS ( Great for forms )

My VPS has some memory issues and I have to reboot it frequently. So I used the SolusVM API to make this in order to be able to manage the server from anywhere without having to use my account...

It requires 2-step authentication because, well, why not?

Are you able to release the source you used? would be interested to see!

I am at university at the moment, will upload later when I get home.
Nothing significant on the code from my part: I used the API examples for the main thing, some GoogleAuthenticator library I found for 2-step authentication, and combined it all with login/setup forms from another project I've been working on lately. (+ some css to make it look decent enough)
My time utilization sucks. Really badly. And I'm aware of it, but I've never been fully aware of how bad it's been. I wanted to know down to the level of detailed metrics how badly I use my time.
A couple of weeks ago, I stumbled upon a video of [URL="http://www.scotthyoung.com/blog/mit-challenge/"]Scott Young detailing what he calls the MIT Challenge.[/URL] I thought it was brilliant, but what I thought was more relevant to me at the time was [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=piSLobJfZ3c#t=386s"]how he utilized his time to accomplish said challenge.[/URL] I wanted to try out what he was talking about, and create a timelog of what all I did in a day.
So I went a step further.
This is [img]http://timelog.andrewmcwatters.com/favicon.png[/img] Timelog, my generically named web software designed to help me not suck at using my time:
[img]http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/205/timelog.png[/img]
Right now it's just as boring as a linear written log with nothing but timestamps and log entries, but soon I'll have it graph out my time usage in a very visual manner. I've already thought through how I think I want entries to be displayed.
It turns out that as Scott had mentioned in the video linked above, the details are eye-opening, but for me, I discovered a terrible truth beyond how my time was used. My health is horrible, and I never take care of myself.
Yesterday I did a full day log of every small thing I did and how it used up my time. When I looked back at what I had done all for the day, less than two hours of my 24 hours for the day was used on working on anything at all. That's less than 9% of my day being utilized on work. When you factor away sleep but exclude other blocking factors of work potential, this only increases to under 14% when you think about the utilization as 24 hours - 9 hours of sleep.
Anyway, about my health: all of my time wasted on things like watching YouTube videos and resting wasn't because I didn't want to work, it was because I didn't feel [I]well[/I] and so I did other things that were less mentally or physically strenuous.
Today I'm going to try and change that.
I felt like I should share this with you guys, because once I have Timelog stable enough for myself to use, I'll be adding in user account features so people can sign up and use this service for themself.
I know there's probably a service like this out there already, but I couldn't find it easily with just what I wanted and no extra fluff, and I needed to work on my webdev skills anyway. I also can't stand Bootstrap, so I used Bootstrap. I wanted to know what it was really like to use it. It's okay, I guess. It does what it was designed for, and pretty well, too.

This is pretty cool. May I suggest things like Trello or Wunderlist as well.

Check out rescuetime.com, it's like this but automated (for computer usage at least)
Presented our site at our states BPA competition. They loved it aside from the fact that the HTML/CSS wouldn't validate ( which I've already fixed in the past hour or so ) and how the main navbar links had arrows rather than simply having the text itself link to the page.
