Developer's Corner / 101 High Quality CSS And XHTML Free Templates And Layouts
« Last post by mouser on March 30, 2009, 02:52 PM »
Nice find from DC member (and professional web site designer) Veign's Blog:

If You have been following to latest articles, I compiled 43 PSD to XHTML, CSS Tutorials article some time ago. This should be considered as next step to web development process. There are a lot of really professional and high quality XHTML, CSS templates available for free - if You are familiar with coding, You can learn many new techniques just by studying code. Those templates are free for charge, however don’t forget to check license from each one of them before using. Don’t forget that You don’t need to copy those layouts, play with css, images to get complete fresh look. Here I represent to You the first part of free templates - every template is hand-picked, I picked only those templates I thought were interesting in code or really exceptional according to standard layouts.

welcome Tiff  :up:

yes this is a real fear of mine whenever i upgrade something -- that i won't like the upgrade and that going back will cause more harm.  luckily what usually happens is after a few days of being mad at whatever they changed that i don't like, i get used to it and forget :)

i've added a new color to the bar and made the displayed goal just the nearest $100 ahead of current.

in other words -- i declare that we have OFFICIALLY crossed the finish line.  we've reached our goal.  we've put the second layer of icing on the cake. everyone can relax now.  there is no further goal post.  there is no need for anyone to donate any more unless they feel compelled for other reasons.  the thermometer is just going to lead donations now by the nearest $100 -- and that's only because i don't want the mercury to overflow.  On April 1st i will freeze the thermometer.

sgtevmckay  ;D
thank you.

Unfortunately for you, what i can reveal now is that an expert team of elite computer hackers formed from the top computer squads in india and china have been studying the donation coder donation system for the last 12 months in preparation for this fundraiser.  They knew what you didn't, that the reward for being the user to donate the last dollar to push us over the edge would win a 10 trillion dollar supercomputer and a big chocolate cake, courtesy of a loophole in the recent financial stimulus package passed by the US congress.  For one year they have been studying the paypal fee structure and donation probabilities of all members, including you.  As you have now discovered, you didn't stand a chance in hell against them, and your attempts to be the one to make the donation to get us passed $12k was futile and merely played into their hands.  I hope it is at least some small consolation that you never even stood a chance.  Had you attempted to make a larger donation i suspect you would not even have lived to push the enter button.  Anyway, better luck next time.

don't be silly, you can only get a bailout if you destroy a few hundred thousand people's lives while you conduct financial fraud and engage in criminally reckless behavior in a pursuit of absolute greed.

quick reply first:

I find so much wrong with it, it's not even funny. If I wrote a review, it would be scathing negativity smiley So I won't write a review
hey that seems like a good reason to write a review to me -- go for it!  i've come to believe that no one application is best for everyone and i think it's always helpful to hear different views -- a negative review can tell you a lot.

more thoughtful reply to the rest in a bit.. great comments and food for thought.. i don't think it's revealing too much to say that revitalizing the review section is a major aim this year..

Site/Forum Features / A DonationCoder job section for DC Coders?
« Last post by mouser on March 29, 2009, 03:47 PM »
We've talked a few times about helping the coders on DC to find jobs, by setting up a kind of jobs board type thing.

After some consideration, here's what i was thinking:
  • There's no point in us spending much time trying to build a mediocre job listing system when there are already some very well polished job sites (elance.com, getacoder.com, getafreelancer.com, etc.) that are much better suited to handle such things.
  • However, maybe we can find one of these sites that people like, that allows us to set up a managed "group" on their site, where donationcoder members can sign up at their site, and then be added to the DonationCoder group by the admins here.
  • The key idea would be that the DonationCoder group on that site should be one where we can make sure only established members of DC can be part of, and where DC programming school teachers can leave comments about the coders.
  • Then we can add a forum profile field that would easily link user's forum profile to that group on the job site.
  • And make a nice page on DC listing all people with job accounts and their current status on the site (so the job site should have some kind of api that makes retrieving their current status, i.e. seeking a job, skills, etc.).

Anyone want to help look for a job listing site that might meet this criteria?

Updating FARR to the current version of VLCSkin will probably be all you'll have to do.
ah well that's even better.

General Software Discussion / Re: Texter (LifeHacker)
« Last post by mouser on March 29, 2009, 01:58 PM »
Very cool  :Thmbsup:

Just to save people the trouble of visiting the links to learn what Texter is, Texter is a popular autohotkey utility coded by the people over at lifehacker to do text replacements.  User brings up Texter and types a few letters, and the program expands it into some full text inside a target program. Makes it easier to use common phrases and text in things like email programs, etc.

Hi Jim -- donating again won't affect your membership status.  Once a charter member, always a charter member.  Once you donate you will get a link to "upgrade" your forum account, but clicking on that will only add the donation amount in credits to your account, not change your membership status.
