Hey Kakos, RMS or whoever else knows a thing or two about making websites...
Is it like a lot of work to make a site as smooth as http://www.amnesty.org/ what with the flash elements and everything? It looks pretty simple, but I've learned that is usually a sign that there's a lot of hard labour in it.
Short answer: yes.
The biggest bitch is usually getting it to work on all browsers, as they all like to do things differently.
Also, flash is generally a bugger to work with, but the example on the amnesty site probably wouldn't be that hard to do, as it's not doing anything especially intricate.
thought so. Thanks.
The marketing lady was pointing us to amnesty.org as an example of a nice site. Was just wondering what kind of volunteer we might have to attract to get quality work. I mean, I know enough guys who have made their own little websites, but we'd need a professional or settle for less here.
I wouldn't say it'd be impossible to get someone who can make you a site to the level you want as a volunteer, but obviously your chances of getting what you want would be a lot higher with a professional.
On the plus side, a lot of people starting out as web devs might do it on the cheap as it's a chance to put something nice on their CV.
I know a friend of mine who now works for the BBC website when he was starting out he'd do sites for people for a very modest fee because it was an example of work he could then use to get a real job.
Corey Haim is still dead and people still don't give a shit.
If you're waiting for him to get up again... uh, I might have some bad news.
Well The Lost Boys franchise is currently getting kicked in the dick by the Twilight franchise. I just figured they'd really turn him into a vampire to make shit be authentic.
I take one one one cause you left me and
two two two for my family and
3 3 3 for my heartache and
4 4 4 for my headaches and
5 5 5 for my loneliness and
6 6 6 for my sorrow and
7 7 for no tomorrow and
8 8 I forget what 8 was for and
9 9 9 for a lost god and
10 10 10 10 for everything everything everything everything

didn't sleep. moved my second monitor, less of an interesting setup than before but ultimately more effective.
I had it way back in my closet, it as sorta cool, and I used it as a tv too but I moved to to my desk and a more standard 2 monitor setup.
now I want to move my tower off my desk to free up space... my speakers are hidden behind monitors.
not sure what to do about it though, I have a table it could go on but I moved it before for some reason and with all the wire tying I do it's a pain to put it back, especially knowing there was -some reason- I moved it.
and I don't want it on the floor. it's stupid big with stupid fans (and I mean stupid... I'm not unhappy but I could maybe have done better, though idk if the vid card I got would be able to fit in a smaller case) and would get too dusty on the floor and be too hard to keep clean.

you're right.
I'll do it sometime, today or tomorrow. I shouldn't need to do much with the wires.

Man, how old are you Posh? But it is an awesome song. More accurate to say awesome band.
I know I'm going to end up fucking spoiling FFXIII in someway shape or form. I should just lock myself in my room and finish it and not get on the internet at all.
That's because the big corporations hog all the daylight for themselves, screwing over the lower orders.
What a load of liberal horseshit. It's the corporations that drive the light market that allows the average Joe to have any. This is simple sparkle-down economics.

Anyone have a good link to watch Dark Side of the Rainbow? I've always wanted to see it and I watched a documentary over the weekend on the making of Dark Side of the Moon that got me wanting to watch it.
You know your store is doing something wrong when your customers would rather drive four hours each way to another town south of the border to do their shopping then ever set foot in your store again.

Edit: Nice!

I think the one yen coins are actually plastic.
If I accidentally drop one I often don't even bend down to pick it up.
Now to watch lots of 300 parodies on Youtube in the name of SCIENCE*!
*not actually science, but is for the lecture I'm giving on Friday.
This is sad: Never again will he ask small children if they've seen a grown man naked.
My favorite is the PG-13 version.
"BRUSH YOUR TEETH!"

You talking about that one with Claire from Lost?

I dunno, but the twist is of Shamalonian proportions of what the fuck:
This made me laugh. I must be a terrible person.
And yeah, it's the same movie we're talking about. It's called "Remember Me".

He's pretty, but not pretty enough for me to sit through that.
Ooh flashback to my youth.
