Got bored of SiteXero.net’s old design, so I changed it a bit.
you’re putting you in me ass.
Yes, much better than “you make an ass out of you and me”. Perhaps it’ll catch on some day.
Perhaps…
Apparently when I fetch some content with AJAX and put it into a container with jQuery’s $.html(), the style tags inside the fetched content are not applied to the new HTML that they’re referencing.
Quick solution was to just put the CSS in our main static CSS file, which I was going to do anyways once we’re ready to finalize it all.
I realize this is a couple of weeks late now but I just have to say that I’m still a bit put off by America’s Got Talent this year.
So earlier, I decided to work on Imaer again (see last post) due to the fact that I am now running a dual monitor setup and Imaer’s upload screen selection option would only build its selection form on the primary screen. I needed a way to make the form span all the screens perfectly.
I of course went to Google and searched for some information, but couldn’t find any examples doing exactly what I wanted. I found some useful information regarding the class I’m using though, which is System.Windows.Forms.Screen. I realized how incredibly simple it is to do what I wanted to do after taking a look at this class, and decided to post the small amount of code so that maybe someone in the future will be able to find it when they decide to Google it.
I’m someone who likes to show screenshots a lot – whether it’s the full-screen, a single application, or just a small crop. It was always very tedious to hit printscreen (or alt+printscreen, to only capture the window that’s in focus), paste this in an image editor (I prefer JASC Paint Shop Pro 7, it’s lightweight and more features than I need), crop it first if needed, save it, then go to an image hosting site such as ImageShack or TinyPic and upload it, then retrieve the URL to the newly hosted image.
So I decided, with my knowledge of Visual Basic .NET (even if it’s not very extensive, mind you), to create a small program to handle almost all of the work for me. I won’t go through the program’s entire life-cycle in this post, as it’s at least more than a year old by now, but it’s in C# now. I’ll mention now that all images are uploaded to ImageShack. I used to use PicOodle but they had changed their site (for the worse?) so you have to log in to upload images.
Alright, I really can’t think up any super awesome layout concept so what I’m just going to do is have a simple page with all the posts listed out on it. Who needs all that other filler? I really have no use for most of it. I might add some of it in later on, but for now it’s really not a problem.
…I’m mostly posting this so I can work with it having multiple posts.
EDIT: Nevermind, using a layout that Matt threw together. 
Well, I’ve been into website development since either late 2004 or early 2005, so I think it’s about time I finally have my own blog. A few friends of mine have always wondered why I didn’t, and I just never thought I’d want one because I wouldn’t know what to post at all. I’m still not quite sure but I figure if I set one up and make it look nice then I’ll slowly find things to talk about.
Now comes the part where I must learn how WordPress themes are created so I can make this place look appealing to myself.
By the way, I just recently updated SiteXero.net so it looks a lot nicer than it did for the past year or so. It was while doing that which made me want to finally have something of value (a blog) on my site.
