What I’m Doing
Windows 7 Woes
I recently got access to Windows 7 Professional through MSDNAA. I installed it over my Vista build on Friday and everything went smoothly, until the next day. When I woke up the next day my PC was in sleep mode, and upon waking it up, it would not connect to the internet. No matter what I did, it just would not connect. It said I was connected to an “unidentified network.” I talked to Linksys for about an hour and a half only to find out it was not the router. I reinstalled the OS (both 64-bit and 32-bit versions, neither connected to the net). I tried dozens of “solutions” only to find that none of them worked. I then decided that I was going to have to go back to Vista (after going through hours and hours of troubleshooting).
Design 101: Creating a Website
So you want to make a website? Anyone can throw together a simple site using a WYSIWYG editor like Dreamweaver or Microsoft Expression Web, but that usually results in non-valid code and a very “cheap-looking” website. Taking a design and turning it into raw, standards-compliant code may seem like a daunting task, but after you get through this tutorial, you’ll be using “DIV”s and styling with CSS like you’ve known it your whole life! That’s right, I said DIVs, no tables here (don’t worry if you don’t know what a div is)! This is a massive 4-part tutorial that will teach you the very fundamentals of design and give you the tools you need to make professional, high-caliber websites. It will walk you through conceptualizing the website, designing it, turning it into valid XHTML/CSS and lastly coding it to the blogging software WordPress. We’ll make a web designer out of you yet!
Cool PCs and Microsoft Photosynth
First of all, shout out to all my Algerian friends. Who knew I had such a fanbase?!
My friend showed me a couple awesome PC mods, and I felt compelled to share them with you, my reader (note the intentional use of the singular “reader”). (more…)
The Future of Web Markup
I saw an interesting article on CSS 3 over at NETTUTS. It showed some of the different features that CSS 3 has. I hadn’t actually ever really looked into CSS 3, but from what I saw it looks really impressive. It looks like it has a lot of really nice features that would make a developer’s job 100x easier, five of which were discussed in the article. (more…)
