[QUOTE=Liquid Helium;37481733]Making a website for a friend of the family's small nursery. I'm not really a designer though so if someone could rip my current 2 hour design (Mostly been working on back end stuff) to shreds, I would appreciate it!! [url]http://i.imgur.com/k63Fb.png[/url][/QUOTE]
Teensy bit of spacing at the top and I'd pretty much say you're golden.
yay other 3 books arrived :D time to start learning rails and put the other 2 away for rainy day reading, although it's sad how much i'm working i don't get a lot of time to sit down at home to actually read, but i'll get there!

ok now ill get out of your guy's hair for actual WAYWO posts :D
They're out of date so most of it'll be irrelevant.
if it's not at least rails 3, reading those books will be harmful to you
For those who are of the master race and use Sublime Text, I'd like to recommend two VERY useful plugins if you're yet to get them:
[URL]https://github.com/SublimeLinter/SublimeLinter[/URL]
and
[URL]https://github.com/Kronuz/SublimeCodeIntel[/URL]
Edit:
If you're having problems with Linter make sure you got php.exe in your PATH.
For CodeIntel I recommend getting the development branch rather than the master branch as it seems to work better, at least for me.

that site is incredibly slow

at first i was going to blame it on my tethered connection, but even facepunch is significantly faster...

I know this is off topic but I've never understood pay weekly stores

Hm, we've got a dedicated box in Amsterdam which is lightning fast to the UK and EU (where most of our clients are based) so it shouldn't be that slow.

If you're a student or young working adult and you buy a place, it might come unfurnished or part-furnished, leaving you with the option of grabbing a bank loan, or using a service like ours which makes it less tempting to blow the entire loan amount and leaving you to pay an affordable amount weekly.

Some people can't afford to pay the full amount all at once.
[QUOTE=Jelly;37494349]Some people can't afford to pay the full amount all at once.[/QUOTE]
But surely waiting until you do have the money (considering things like Xboxes are really non-essential items) and buying it is a better idea? You spend less in the long run. Sorry if I sound ignorant or anything but I genuinely don't understand it :v:
[editline]1st September 2012[/editline]
I mean, if you didn't have the money for an oven or a washing machine or something like that then sure paying monthly/weekly would be sensible because those are appliances that you need. But a Nintendo Wii?
Yeah, when you have bills already going out weekly/monthly and don't have enough overdraft to outright buy stuff, I guess adding to the bills with an additional few pounds is a more desirable option and makes it easier to start saving money rather than depleting your savings balance immediately.
its called Credit. you obtain a credit card and then you can buy anything up to your credit range. My bank lets me use $1000 and goes up abit each month depending on my credit, if I paid my credit card bills, exc. My bill each month is %20 of what I owe or $40 a month, whichever is smaller. Bought a computer, paid it off in 5 months, no extra cost.
I can understand it for stuff you need but can't afford. A refrigeration or a bed. But getting an console or a smartphone is just stupid.
If you already have all the other essentials, why not?
If you use this service it means you don't have the money to buy the product. It's better to save up 5 months and then buy it for 500 instead of paying weekly and ending up spending 700 over 7 months. You didn't had the money in the first place and you are just making things more expensive.

The point of this thread isn't to critique the purpose of a website
I like how this thread has gone from Apple peripherals to credit cards and finance.
Where's all the web dev gone? D:
This kind of doubles as an off topic thread for the web dev section when no one posts anything interesting they're working on. I don't think it's a bad thing. I'll post a redesign I'm working on once I'm on my laptop again.
Jagex is working on making RuneScape in html5 apparently

java left, html5 right
actually im reading further into it and this post makes me feel like an idiot.
ITT: Mostly 18 year olds and younger who've never have a real job and don't understand how finances in the real world work. Housing, utilities, and food all cost money.
Those of us who are older than two decades are sitting here loling at your misunderstanding of the world.
So, my company said they've had a good experience with me and want me to sign a new contract to collaborate with them during school which starts in two weeks. I'd be working from home for something like 12-14 hours a week with a laptop they give me.
They currently pay me 4.16 € an hour which is pretty low but pretty much "standard wage" here in Italy. I was planning to ask for at least twice as that, or more, in order to sign with them.
What do you think?
you're an amazing designer tera, don't settle for minimum wage!

Go for it. You've got some pretty kickin' designs so i dont see why not.
Well, I don't work as a designer there, I'm a developer. Their design offices are in the US.

What if you are staying far from your hometown and don't want to increase the weight of movable assets at your current temporary residence ? It makes sense to rent things then.

Sounds good, but isn't Italy poor as fuck at the moment? Might explain the minimum wage for a dev position...
Any chance of a set price per project? Might make things better for you.
Speaking of jobs.. Tbh I've never really considered working for anyone else career wise since about the age of 12, and I don't think I ever will. Even if I was a debilitated tramp I'd still have some kind of venture going on.
It'd really make me cringe working for a web development firm and getting paid a set wage for completing full designs, only to see the company was pulling in tens of thousands per project.
If you guys have any cool ideas for stuff that need investment, I'd probably be interested in grabbing a small share and possibly contributing design/ development work.. I'm pretty new to VC so the amount I could offer would be fairly low and it'll be really select, but nevertheless feel free to PM me and we can work something out.
You see SCop, working in a web dev company assures that you DO get a wage. Working as a free lancer does not guarantees that you will be paid, sure, you can earn much more, however, what if you don't get lucky that month and find no work? You're pretty much fucked.
And this also applies for, let's called them start-ups, as in, first of all you must have some capital beforehand, because you will not earn money for at least some time. And another problem - if your idea fails, you're also pretty much fucked.
And that's why I think a set-wage job is important. Really, once you have such a job, I believe you should start thinking about your own ideas as side projects and when they're mature enough, leave your current work and dedicate yourself to the project.

The thing about doing your own startups is that they're fun as hell and they'll also let you do what you [I]want[/I] to do, which is important.
