Repeat after me: Photoshop is not web design
Submitted by Ed on July 26, 2009 - 6:54pmThe title kind of says it all here. If you are providing a Photoshop document and a "web style guide" as your entire (paid) contribution to a project, you are not a web designer. You are a mockup artist. At present, this is going to double the web-design cost of a friend of mine's project because you "haven't done HTML/CSS in a while and couldn't provide" an actual...you know...web design and he has to hire somebody else to do what you should be doing.
Wheeeeeeeeeeee.
Vulture's Eye downloads mirrored
Submitted by Ed on July 26, 2009 - 3:34amI'm a big Nethack fan, and have been for years. The problem with the regular game, though, is that it's almost impossible to play on a laptop that doesn't have a number pad unless you like vi-keys, and I can't stand them. So I play a lot of the isometric tile-based frontend of it, Vulture's. Vulture's Eye is the frontend for NetHack 3.4.3, and Vulture's Claw is the frontend to SLASH'EM.
It seems like the developer forgot to pay for his development site, though, and downloading the packages became a bit of a pain. I've mirrored both packages here because a friend of mine wanted them, and I figured I'd mention it in case anyone trips over this post.
edropple.com 2.0? 3.0? Whatever.
Submitted by Ed on July 26, 2009 - 1:59amSo I got really tired of the Deco theme from Drupal.org. I also wasn't fond of a lot of my design decisions from the old site; I was new to Drupal when I built it, and decided to fix a whole bunch of mistakes in rebuilding it.
Over the next few days (that should be pronounced "weeks" for those new in town) I'll be adding a number of features back, including my portfolio and a new addition: using the Project module to handle issues and requests from clients. I haven't seen it used that way previously, but I think it'll be cool.
EDIT: Whoops. Sorry for flooding Monologue, I forgot it was set to pick up my feeds...;-)
