Introducing my take on zen computing:
Plain desktop
Firefox 1.5 showing a test version of a CMS I'm building
jEdit with Ruby on Rails add-on's
I'm running XGL and Beryl to get visual effects and while these can do much flashier things than what I'v…
I am ageless.
I will live forever.
I am... 21 :[
I've been doing general nerdery since before 2000, but only really got into web coding in around 2002 and only started seriously doing it in 2003.
I've had some experience with desktop programming as…
Just a small note:
JavaScript defence methods do not work and never actually have.
You can disable right clicking, but this does not disable the browser options in it's drop down menu's.
Also, anyone who really wants to get at your content would jus…

Actually, the HTML code wouldn't be overly complex, it's only an issue of wether or not the server side scripting is mixed in with it or not.
If Google's using something like MVC design plans in their applications, there should be minimal l…
You know, despite the fact that in Leeds, there's a Starbucks and a smaller one (I think it's starbucks anyway) directly over the road in a book shop, I've never actually been in, nor have I ever tried any of their products.
I've always called in at…
Does it not register with people that the reason for these 4 letter domain names being available is that they aren't overly useful?
A domain should be:
Descriptive (www.google.com, www.ebay.com)
Memorable (http://script.aculo.us, http://blo.gs)

It's either time I got hold of a Guy Fawkes mask and pretend to be called V, or Python, CBG and other UK members should try to raise the 3 million needed to buy a small island :[
Neither, I use GIMP and Xara Xtreme as both are free and work on my OS of choice (not to mention that I prefer vector work to raster work).
If I had to use one of those, it would be Photoshop since it's considered to be the superior of the two.
The problem is though that for the money someone would pay for it, they might as well go buy hosting from somewhere like ASO and then it's just a case of installing a free forum system on it.
That way, they would own pretty much everything other tha…
When I started getting into programming, there were quite a few morons who thought that because they knew of X function which would help me do something that they were better than others.
That's the kind of thing that drives people away from forums …
I'm afraid that your forum is pretty much worthless in terms of how much sites sell for because it's just a free forum, making it no better than anything on invisionfree or similar hosts.
You don't actually own the forum software, domain name, bandw…
Offline I'm less chatty due to my speach problem and shaking (both effect each other... I have an iffy blood sugar level so I shake if I don't eat for any length of time, though it does make gaining weight more difficult), but I still have the humou…
It might have something to do with the fact that a lot of people working in web development are male.
Granted, there's a large number of female designers and developers, but a majority of people in the field these kinds of forums cover are probably …
I have a desktop because:
Desktops generally have better spec kit in them (unless it's an Apple one where half the stuff is found in their desktops as well).
Mouse with drawing tablet option > touchpad \ nub.
27" widescreen laptops aren't re…
Popups, huge errors on "web designer" sites, MySpace, the marketing stratergy of versioning the internet with cack like "Web 2.0", text messaging \ AIM style typing, 1337, fanboys, trolls, 13 year old spoilt brats, Internet Explo…
Yeah, that is pretty odd for a cash machine that's for drivers, but then again, the idea of a drive through cash machine seems alien to people over here as we simply don't have such things, probably because it's much harder to get a quality image of…
One of the domains I would have liked was dezine.com, .net or .org.
With a domain like that, I'd probably use it for web design and development related writing since the name itself would be a mix of design and eZine, but aparently, it was already t…
This kind of gives it away, doesn't it :D

Also, Toho wouldn't really have much luck taking on the likes of Mozilla and generally, it's just a pointless attempt at making money if they square up against anyone using 'zilla' in their domain name since it's not detracting from them and those s…
Trust me, there's better places than Spain...
I'm getting dragged there in March on a family holliday as it was that or stay at home and look after the dog, cat and mice.
I'd rather go to somewhere like New Zealand where it's hot and a fair number …

Moddy: Yes, you.

Partly using my incredibly poor French skills (French class = sleeping time) and partly by Babelfish.
While it's not a bad little engine, the fact that they seem to be pulling their data from other search engine indexes means that they aren't likely to take over.
It clearly states on their about page:(Quote)

Nobody is at war with the Germans anymore DX, so nobody has to rival them.
Even if another Hitler (actually Austrian) did come along (Arnold Shwartsinwotsit?), no doubt the U.S. and UK governments would nuke them before they got anywhere near WWII s…
It's actually very easy to be a good developer.
You just have to follow logical rules and assuming you can learn the language you're using and general application principals, you can be good.
With development, you basically need to remember:

Not to mention that you can't even learn English without getting it horribly wrong.
I'm no languages expert as I only speak English, very little French (I had to take it in high school), two or three words of Japanese and other bits from oth…
