[QUOTE=benjojo;43199868][img]http://i.imgur.com/8s2swvC.gif[/img] How can anyone wake up in the morning and say to them self, " I love javascript "[/QUOTE] By writing javascript that doesn't have errors in it and unit testing everything well!

Not sure if web development (but will eventually lead to web dev project) but I wrote a lightweight SMTP server in node at the weekend and am making a basic REST API for getting messages. [img]https://mpic.co/d0.4485416498500854k[/img]

[QUOTE=barttool;43200571]do you know about [URL="http://kuler.adobe.com"]kuler?[/URL] It can really save you some time finding great color schemes. [sp]however I think this color scheme was unconsciously inspired by penguin books but shhh[/sp][/QUOTE] Yes I know about Kuler, however even though I can create a nice scheme myself/find one I still need to figure out what and where exactly to make it all look good instead of just mashing colours together :v:

How much would one of you charge for a teaser website? Sort of like those sites that have countdowns till whatever it is they are releasing?

Not really web development but I recently but two domains from name.com, how would I go about getting these to work on my server? It's not hosted with a company.

[QUOTE=RidingKeys;43206779]Not really web development but I recently but two domains from name.com, how would I go about getting these to work on my server? It's not hosted with a company.[/QUOTE] In the name.com control panel go to the DNS zone file config of your domain and point the "A" DNS type to your server's IP. Also don't forget to make the "www" CNAME an alias of your domain so that old farts who still write "www." don't get an error. like so: [IMG]http://andrescanelones.me/imageuploads/eQJEE.png[/IMG] This is Cloudflare's control panel. I *highly* recommend you route your domain's traffic through cloudflare. It protects your sites from DDOSes and makes their loading time faster. Also makes DNS managing less of a hassle. [editline]17th December 2013[/editline] looking at that screenshot I just noticed cloudflare was deactivated on that particular domain.. oops. :v:

Is there anything I have to do server side inside the apache configs? [editline]16th December 2013[/editline] One of my domains is working just fine, but the other refuses to work.

[QUOTE=RidingKeys;43207189]Is there anything I have to do server side inside the apache configs?[/QUOTE] I couldn't say, if you made a standard apache install and if you navigate to the server's IP and it access the default apache site (the one that just says "it works!") or whatever you already have hosted there then no, you just need to do what I said before. is this "server" just something you're running off your computer or an actual server?

One of my domains is working, the other just refuses to work.

[QUOTE=barttool;43207978]does your ISP provide you with a static IP?[/QUOTE] Yes sir, do you have skype or some other tool it'd probably be easier that way.

Thoughts? [i]i know about the roguelike called cataclysm and i'm working on the name problem[/i] [T]http://i.imgur.com/WbTnnyg.png[/T] [T]http://i.imgur.com/gZuO3RI.png[/T] Live: [url]http://achgardner.tk/client/cataclysm[/url] If some people could test it on mobile devices that'd be great. EDIT: Nevermind, looks like I've gotta work on any interaction with touch screens. I'll get on that tomorrow. [i]The .tk domain is for me to test my things online, nothing final, if anyone was wondering.[/i]

I don't know, I think hiding all your content inside a collapsed red bar that has no indication that it can expand for no purpose whatsoever isn't a good idea. Always remember that the content should always be front and center in your design (figuratively speaking), it should surface, not hide in a corner. The UI should serve as a way to make this content surface, it should not get in the way of it.

you should at least provide an indicator for how to get to the content if you are going to do something like that! hiding important information cant really be a good idea anyway, think of mobile devices that dont have a real hover functionality, etc.

Some not so recent designs [thumb]http://i.imgur.com/oghh5xu.jpg[/thumb] [thumb]http://i.imgur.com/buhvOXh.png[/thumb]

Redid the functionality of the side bar. On mobile you can click a bar icon to drop the about tab. [T]http://i.imgur.com/uEJV6Z7.png[/T] [T]http://i.imgur.com/0fzdlre.png[/T][T]http://i.imgur.com/Dui0v2W.png[/T]

I got inspired by looking at:[url]http://csgoteamfinder.com/[/url] to make my own service (WIP) [t]http://i.imgur.com/UrGSymu.png[/t] I'm trying to make the part of logo where it says "LOOKUP" but I'm doing horribly atm...

alright, [URL="http://andrescanelones.me"]my site's[/URL] practically finished (now with 100% more gallery): [thumb]http://andrescanelones.me/imageuploads/ghDqb.png[/thumb] [thumb]http://andrescanelones.me/imageuploads/fOGgN.png[/thumb] though I can't seem to find a way to make the images cycle or make one of the nav buttons disappear when you're at the first or the last image. Because if you click it this happens: [thumb]http://andrescanelones.me/imageuploads/I9659.png[/thumb] :v: any ideas?

Swapped out jQuery mobile for Bootstrap because it felt sluggish on my iPod.

The down chevron to the right in threads simply scrolls to the bottom of the page (makes it quicker to get to the latest post) Opinions are very much welcome.

The blue on the posts looks a little saturated, IMO it seems too much like if you had selected it. Either a light gray or lighter blue might look more appropriate. EDIT: By this, if you didn't catch it, I mean the name + date etc. Aside from that, looks great. Any idea when it'll be out? (Also, is it web hosted or will it be an application?)

Everyone... Bow to me... [code] <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Test</title> <style> * {margin:0;border:0;} body {display:flex;min-height:100vh;flex-direction:column;} header, footer {height:40px;background:#0BF;} main {flex: 1;} </style> </head> <body> <header>Hello Header</header> <main>Hello Content</main> <footer>Hello Footer</footer> </body> </html> [/code] Static header, Full width content, and sticky footer... all included in THAT.

nice!

spent all day working on this [img]http://puu.sh/5Rnqe.png[/img] it's a completely standalone music player (I even parse the mp3s myself to get the id3 tags) the only thing I have left to add is volume control, which shouldn't be too hard
