Made some sort of a Facepunch avatar scraper sort of thing.

[url]http://benbristow.co.uk/dev/fp/[/url]

Polls the homepage every 5 minutes using PHP/CRON and downloads all of the avatars on the front page. I don't know if this is against the FP rules, but if it is I'll take it down.

I don't know if it is explicitly against the rules, but I imagine a five minute interval is not something that would raise any red flags.

Omg, thank you, I'm gonna put right next to Computer Knowledge, Anarchy Folder and Wikipedia Offline Folders.

[QUOTE=KmartSqrl;41410591]There is absolutely no reason for that to be an imagemap. The [B]ONLY[/B] time you should use an imagemap on a regular website is if you have irregularly shaped, interlocking pieces that need to be clickable.

HTML for email is still stuck in the 90s so that makes sense there.[/QUOTE]

Even so, in all the emails that I have created, I've never felt the need to use an image map

I've moved my own personal picture hosting service to a new subdomain (pictures.gabrielecirulli.com) and I've also taken a chance to spice up the error pages:

I don't think HTTP status codes should be the focus of an error page from a UI/UX perspective, but they do look nice.

Well it's nothing anyone will really see on my site (at least for now) unless they're tampering with it, because I'm not hosting any dynamic content, so I did it as more of a "fun" thing.

If you've ever wondered how not to do something, then the crafty kids over at valve's new pipeline project have some wonderful examples for you:

Want me to do a breakdown on what's wrong with this?

Yes pls

I like how they're using ~20MB, 5000x6000px images for their biography thumbnails

Mailed Gabe about some of the issues of this yesterday, he was going to put them through to the interns.

That part of the site shouldn't even be live yet. Only the page on [url]http://pipeline.valvesoftware.com/[/url] should be.

[Vietnow]

Maybe they should've asked one of their senior web developers to give it a quick check before making it live and making a big announcement video...

It's some horrendous code but it's hard to read through it without a context. Where are these taken from?

Oh, just realized the bottom three links weren't scripts. Also wow the people list.

[:awesome:]

The pipeline homepage looks like someone downloaded bootstrap and fucked with it in their text editor, just terrible

[QUOTE=:awesome:;41445383]The pipeline homepage looks like someone downloaded bootstrap and fucked with it in their text editor, just terrible[/QUOTE]

It's made by a few 15 year old interns that have basically 0 proper experience. It's obviously not great, but it looks better than anything I made when I was 15. Don't be too harsh.

1. As mentioned above, it's a student project.
2. I can see there's bootstrap.css but tbh it doesn't look like bootstrap

there's a few of them, there has to be at least one that sort of knows what they're doing to guide the others

I doubt that. Also, when you're on an internship you usually just have the full-time web developers telling you what you're supposed to be doing on day 1, and then leaving you on your own for the rest of the time to go back to work on their stuff, so they probably didn't have much direction during the whole project apart from probably talking to Gabe or someone else a few times.

[QUOTE=Kirth;41452814]Please ♥[/QUOTE]

Well from what i can see, they did no optimizing at all, JS and CSS aren't minified and images are way too big (and not compressed either)

And who in their right mind would use javascript to define the content (bio.js)

[Kirth]

And it's really not just that.

Also

videos.push(new video(0,1,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,'Programming Fanatics','#','This video demonstrates the pain and suffering assosiated with programming'));

Yeah..
