I've been making an image gallery for my site.

Make all the images in the gallery the same size.

Not sure how I can preserve the aspect ratio if i do that - I don't want to have to crop everything twice in Lightroom
The offers page is slowly coming together! [URL]http://bolteri-dev.herokuapp.com/offerte[/URL]

Again, feel free to add stuff if you wish to. It'd probably be fun.

The rest of the static pages now also show offers that belong to the category they represent. The index page shows a sample of the best 8 offers.

Man, I wish I had somebody with the same skills as me to partner with. Where can you find people that don't suck (haven't just started) at web development and want to start a partnership without getting bored in the first day and leaving?
Gutting a bunch of old admin stuff for spoonfedstyle.com that I was using to add products via a few different product data feed APIs because there were enough janky products that I wasn't going to be able to automate the site to the level that I want to if I kept using them. Going to pick out a group of sites that I know always stock good quality clothing and write screen scrapers for them that will pull all the product data I need. The first one is almost done, I just have to make it grab a few more pieces of data from the site and then need to set up a system to map category pages on the site to categories on spoonfed so that things end up in the right place.
I also moved over to storing product images for myself on S3 today so I can resize them properly for emails and what not. There's a bunch of background jobs running that are grabbing the image urls that I got from the product APIs I was using, uploading the images to S3 and assigning them to the proper products in the database.
Been really excited about this project lately because the welcome tour thing I built for new users has had a very big impact on the number of people who sign up and don't actually use the site at all.

It's hard, very hard. I still haven't found anyone either, and I've been going solo lately. If anything it pushes you to develop a wider spectrum of abilities.

Agreed. I don't really deal with front end stuff as much but it's certainly true with back end stuff.

I'm in the same boat. I suck at web development (currently) and can't find anybody willing to partner up and I guess, "train" me.
I jsut realized that all my sites work in Chrome, Firefox and IE perfectly, except for one little detail on IE when you make the screen width 200px :V

Fuck off, Firefox[/QUOTE]
That's funny, the same shit happened when I was doing stuff for my company's product.
It's a pain in the ass to make it display without the fugly padding and 99-esque windows dropdown. You actually cannot edit the padding because of the stylesheet that Firefuck inserts.
This is what I ended up with:

The problem I have is not that I don't find people who are 'interested' it's that it turns out they are either too lazy to learn, or just find other things interesting.

I gave up and did UA sniffing. It's not too bad if this is the only thing I use it for and I keep these tweaks to a minimum. And it saved me time too (it was probably impossible to achieve what I'm trying to do without UA sniffing):
[css]
/////////////////////////////////////////
// Firefox is shit
/////////////////////////////////////////
.firefox {
select {
text-indent: 1px;
text-overflow: '';
padding-top: 6px;
padding-left: 9px;
}
}
[/css]
[editline]23rd August 2013[/editline]
Btw, the text-indent/text-overflow thing gets rid of the dumb arrow that Firefox displays even with -mox-appearance set to none.
I just finished upgrading my portfolio website. The main new addition is that it's now responsive! (Resize your browser)

I feel like there are commas missing. Also you are either trying to tell me that you live in the cloud or that you are a dreamy boy who lives in the *clouds*.
I think you should gut the part talking about how old you are because it sounds like you're trying to say "I'm not a regular 15 year old sir, promise I'm not!" which is how regular 15 year olds would want people to see them. I just wouldn't even mention your age. Instead of explicitly stating that you're 15 but it doesn't matter, let your work do the talking and surprise people when they actually find out how old you are. I used to love showing up to meet with clients when I was 16-17 and seeing them surprised at my age.

I thought it might sound like that. Thanks for the friendly advice. It's gone. :)
EDIT:
I went ahead and removed the picture too.
Hell yes, getting closer and closer.

Having a picture there isn't a bad thing, but I think that one felt a little informal so that's probably a good call as well :)

The picture matched the page though, the cloudy background and the title font aren't that formal either (not that everything has to be formal).

It's a portfolio site so I think it should be professional to a certain degree and a cellphone snap of someone and their girlfriend in the way that was displayed wasn't.

I was talking about the current picture at the top of the homepage in his screenshots. I think we had a different picture in mind :v:

Dump the dumb avatar at the top of the page, either use an actual picture of yourself or don't bother
Back to that talk about finding partners... I'd actually really like to find someone who's more in to the front end dev side than the back end. I love design and I love back end dev, but front-end dev just isn't as fun for me unless it's really involved JS stuff. I think I'm just bored of basic front-end stuff because I've been doing it for so long.
I've got a couple ideas for projects that I haven't started on yet that I would potentially be down to partner with someone on. Hit me up with some of your past work if you're interested, and if you have good ideas I'd love to hear them too.
Terabyte me and you should chat more, you've been doing good stuff lately :)
