slow day at work

Killing time. I saw the schedule on scoute and tried to make something of. Meh, not entirely too happy, but wth.

It's pretty difficult to read - doesn't seem to be much logic behind why text is one color or another.

Just threw this together since I wanted to get a page up with a php - mysql 'submit email' thing up for practice but that's not working so for now it's just an image: No Friends For Us.

[yea!]

note making in digital form. that is all.

No Friends For Us.

Nice domain name

I'm just going to keep posting coding / web experiments on here while i try to teach myself since I bet I can keep doing one-a-day and maybe it'll keep the thread up enough that people will keep posting.

jquery test

combined a script to display last twitter messages with a toggling visible / invisible display area. took me a while to figure out how to make it start hidden.

tomorrow (more likely wednesday) hoping to figure out how to display more than one message at a time on a page

[yea!]

that's dope man. js is hairy but that twitter code looks clean.

seems like you need to define and write a function for 'count' to grabs last tweets.

i might start up with this w/AS3, we could share knowledge.. the language seems similar

oye.. and i made something new. portfolio site. http://nevercontent.net/

always love your work but I think it'd look better with some sort of uniformity to the height of the images.

I'm probably going to redesign my blog and start it over. Or make another one I havent decided yet.

[Analog]

Nice work, servo! I know this was just a quick experiment, but I'm going to assume you wouldn't mind some feedback, so I'm gonna give some

I recommend getting in the habit of using standard HTML tags instead of the p1, p2, p3 tags you've used in your example:

<div id="twitter">
   <h2>TWITTER FEED TOGGLE TEXT</h2>
   <!-- change <p3> to a <div> because <p> tags should not be nested within other <p> tags -->
   <div id="container">
       <p class="p2">Currently:</p>
       <h3><span id="twit_status"></span></h3>
       <p class="p2"><span id="twit_time"></span> <a href="http://twitter.com/nofriendsforus"> via Twitter</a></p>
   </div>
</div>

Don't forget to update the javascript to reflect the new tags, and add some visual feedback to the user in the form of a simple colour change upon mouse over/out of the h2 tag:

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function()
{
   //change colour of text on mouse over/out
   $('h2').mouseover(function(){ $(this).css('color', '#bb0000'); });
   $('h2').mouseout(function(){ $(this).css('color', '#000000'); });

   //updated js to reflect the new tags
   $('h2').click(function () { $('#container').slideToggle('slow'); });
   $('#container').hide();
});
</script>

Lastly, change your css to reflect the new tags, and try adding cursor: pointer; to your css to change the user's cursor when they hover over the h2 tag:

<style type="text/css">
#twitter h2 {margin:0; padding:0; font-size:14px; font-weight:bold; cursor:pointer;}
#twitter h3{margin:0; color:#333333; font-size:2em; font-family:"Times New Roman", Times, serif; line-height:normal; font-weight:lighter;}
#twitter .p2 {margin:6px 0 0 0; color:#333333; text-transform:uppercase; font-size:10px; font-weight:bold;}
</style>

[yea!]

thanks DUM. i can't tell you how torn i am w/that. uniformity looks clean, and on the other hand the randomness kind of allows the projects to be viewed how they naturally would be as opposed to putting them in a set sized box? i honestly don't even know. if an internship wasn't a priority i probably would've done something different altogether.

i think i gotta rearrange the nav. takes up too much space w/smaller screens.

[yea!]

ahh yes that's it analog... cursor pointer

i was looking for the equivalent of mc.buttonMode=true

[Analog]

yea! I'm ok with the varying height, but undecided regarding the varying width

For the height issue, maybe try more "defined" lines vs the fine/dotted lines you have now, to give more of an impression of the images "hanging" off them... ? In that vein, you would focus on creating a visually pleasing vertical rag using the bottoms of the images...

Just throwin' it out there...

[Magsåvningsreserven]

wow yea, really feeling your portfolio.

I quite like the idea of dynamic sizes personally, although the larger ones could be a bit smaller height-wise?

*man, why haven't you posted the Aeturnum stuff before? (of have you) Sooo good man, i just finished my shit end of last week, i was gonna relax and fuck about but you've inspired me to get started again.

no the border idea sounds good, i'll experiment with it.

varying width in terms of paper city / savile? i'm going to add a section, so savile is getting bumped to 1 column to make room. or do you mean the subpage width flux? in any case the width changes remain on the grid.

and thanks i appreciate the crit.

[Analog]

varying width in terms of paper city / savile?

Yes, that's what I was referring to. I was thinking that keeping each project in a single column would give a greater sense of purpose to the verticality/varying heights.

[DüM]

yeahh I actually would really like that idea. especially on the internet columns and widths are more important for structure anyway.
