What are you working on? v7 - Developers

[QUOTE=mikkeljuhl;36687522]Hey, can I be so cheeky to ask what fonts you are using, for Bröttle, and Elipsior?[/QUOTE] Fredoka One for Elipsior, Doppio One for Brottle. They're all taken from Google Web Fonts.

I'd also lighten the alternating rows and get rid of the vertical lines through the darkened rows.

I'm trying to make forum avatars that update but I'm stuck. You guys know how a character's page on the wow armory has a picture generated from a 3d model? I've been trying to figure out if I can query blizard's server to give me back one of those pictures with a set of item id's I give it. I tried dissecting the source of the page but couldn't find anything useful. Anyone perhaps have any insight?

[QUOTE=KmartSqrl;36722525]horizontal padding is your friend. I'd also lighten the alternating rows and get rid of the vertical lines through the darkened rows.[/QUOTE] Yes, haven't applied padding to elements yet. As of now concentrating on the code.

I think it is about time we did a equipment and software audit. My setup is as follows: A PC: [url]http://www.amazon.co.uk/registry/wishlist/KRKV5K8KJ8E[/url] A Mac mini An Acer aspire ethos An iPad (yep I do work on an iPad) Software: Windows 8 (which is surprisingly stable) Sublime text Github for windows Zune WebMatrix (only used for running local WordPress installations, not development) - I can setup a new WordPress install in seconds using WebMatrix which is great for development. Simpless Coffee Script compiler (Command line version - someone really ought to make an automated GUI similiar to Simpless) Chrome (obviously I have every browser but chrome is browser of choice) Google drive (used for pictures, and documents but not code - that is all on github) Google App Engine Launcher Photoshop CS5 I only really use OSX for app development using xcode (which i don't really do very often), however I have a pretty reasonable collection of osx apps like coda etc. My PC is a little overkill and you could get a much better value machine easily but one thing which I do think is really useful is 3 monitors - it is one of those things that once you have got used to it you hate using any less. Also my keyboard is lovely (mechanical). I'm not a really big fan of the Logitech G9Xs but until I find something much better (especially software wise) I will stick with it. I hate the scroll wheel clicking on the g9x but love the free scroll wheel. I also love the ability to be able to independently set the x and y sensitivity (useful in jets in BF3).

Magento makes me value convention over configuration more and more every day I work with it. I shouldn't need to make a fucking xml file for the express purpose of telling an application that another file exists.

[QUOTE=KmartSqrl;36726573]Magento makes me value convention over configuration more and more every day I work with it. I shouldn't need to make a fucking xml file for the express purpose of telling an application that another file exists.[/QUOTE] So Magento does that incorrectly?

Magento is configuration over convention and it's pretty annoying. [editline]12th July 2012[/editline] If I want to make a new module with one helper that I use to, for exmaple, generate image urls in a view. I need to make at the very least, three folders, two xml files (which do nothing but tell magento that the helper exists), and a php file.

I need to make at the very least, three folders, two xml files (which do nothing but tell magento that the helper exists), and a php file.[/QUOTE] We've just moved away from Magento to use Exp:resso store in ExpressionEngine. It may not be as configurable, but ExpressionEngine gives you so much freedom, we haven't missed Magento even a little.

We're doing enough things different from the stock magento install that I've been tempted to rewrite everything in Ruby/Rails in my spare time. We do customizable stationery (wedding invitations and stuff like that, you go on and type your name in and add your photos and what have you and then it gets sent off to our printer and shipped to you) and there's ton little things that we want slightly different from the way magento does them out of the box. It'd definitely be an undertaking to match magento feature for feature, but all these small changes would be so much easier down the line. AND I'd have unit/integration tests, because the indian firm that put this together before it got handed off to me didn't do that at all :(

From what you described, Magento wouldn't be fitting at all. Magento does (almost) everything I need. Magento does its job because I use it for what Magento is supposed to be used for. If only it would allow me to completely customize the invoices, because they don't look too good and it's not very smart for me right now to buy an expensive module.

Believe me, I know it's definitely shoehorned in a bit. I was around when the project got started so I didn't get a chance to weigh in on it :/ It works though. All the image customization is done outside the store with Adobe Scene7 so thankfully that part wasn't shoved in to magento. We just use custom fields on configurable products to hold the data for the customization options and build the URLs that Scene7 needs and the XML info for the printer from that.

Also I've got to say I completely fell in love with Ruby.

:) always glad to hear that.

I'm having some problems though, and I'm not allowed to ask for help from the big boss Mr. Tera, but I need to generate a random 32 bit integer. [1000000000..9999999999].sample completely freezes my poor ol' Ubuntu.

Use Random.rand()

Now why is that suddenly extremely fast, and it can generate a number over the max size of a integer.

Because doing [1000000000..9999999999].sample is creating a really big array and then selecting a random object from that array which isn't a particularly fast operation.

Well yeah, but what does Random.rand() do.

I'm not sure what ruby does under the hood for that since I've never needed to dig in to it to find out before.
