Yes, finally I’m done tuning up the new visual style for my website.
All I’ve got left is to upload it and see how it behaves, make one or two tests and fix a few bugs and all done.
 
So tomorrow night (Friday September 27th) I’ll be taking down my website for 2 or 3 days at the most to get it re-”pimped out” and come back even stronger with CNTS.cl volume 3.0.
So tell your families, the lady from the corner and everyone not to cry over me, I’ll be back in just a few days.
Today my girlfriend told something about some guy that in some american senator’s forum asked a few-too-many questions and got himself arrested. I laughed about it for a while and that was pretty much it.
However, today when I came home and checked out my feeds, I came across the story in detail at the always up to date TrendHunter and I got a much clearer picture about the story.
The thing is that senator John Kerry, former american presidential candidate who lost the elections to George Bush, had an open forum at the University of Florida where students got on the microphone and questioned the senator in public.
Among others, UF campus student Andrew Meyer stepped to the mic and decided to slightly huddle the microphone with some uncomfortable questions for the former presidentiable.
For this, the microphone’s audio was cut off and 2 policemen inmediately proceeded to reduce the young student.
As if this wasn’t enough, not only did the cops handcuff a young man whose only crime was to ask some questions, but they didn’t think of a better idea than to taze him with an ellectric shock gun to “tranquilize him”, being that they already had him on the ground, face down and in handcuffs.
An absolutelly brutal fact that reveals the level of stupidity some people can reach.
Luckily, there’s always those good samaritans wandering around with a video camera and have access to the internet to upload their material on YouTube… and for what it’s worth, the 2 policemen who grabbed him in the first place were discharged… under paid leave.
For a long time now there’ve been several rankings or mail forward chains regarding the best photo manipulations and stuff like that.
The thing is that today, checking NTMY I came across Christophe Huet’s website and realized that most of those incredible images I once saw on worldwide campaigns belong to him.
His website showcases a large amount of his amazing works and some even have a “making of” to see just how much this guy can do to a photo.
For all of you who have your own website that you put your time into, I’m sure you know how complicated and tedious it is to modify those HTML, PHP and CSS codes just to name a few.
Being one of those who is constantly adding and erasing elements from his website, it tends to happen that I forget certain parameters of a given language’s syntax, so I have to turn to “Saint Google” every now and then looking for the precise value that’ll make the small line over the blog change its color, or change the width of the search bar.
Well if you’re one of those who goes through the same, then fear no more. The guys behind the awesome Liquidicity are making some free help PDF’s, or as they like to call them, “Help Sheets”, on different programming codes with every variable possible in each language.
For now there’s only two, CSS and HTML, which, without a doubt, will come in really handy for the expert that just forgot how to make sequential line breaks, as well as for the rookie that’s just starting to get into the world of programming.
Without a doubt a really good resource, which happens to be on a really good website.
