Just not on IvyTan.Net. Oops. I’ve been very busy re-designing Leave The Pack Behind’s website and Malaysian Singaporean Students’ Association websites. Most the actual design work is done, with a few bugs that still need to be exterminated, as well with content that needs to be added/updated.
I designed this around June 2007. The color scheme is slate blue and light red. Their both variations of the Singaporean and Malaysian flags bright colors. IMO, it’s really tacky to have too much brightness on a page. Oh and the header graphic was taken by a friend who is a professional photographer in Malaysia.
This was designed over the course of this week. I kept changing things because I wasn’t able to find a suitable navigation. Initially, it was meant to be inspired by Mac OS X’s dock, but it just didn’t fit. Or rather, it would taint my record of originality, so I tried my hand in installing MooTools. I’ve never really delved into the world of JavaScript , so figuring out made me so proud of myself! (EGO BOOST!!) The navigation is using the Accordion script. BTW, I haven’t seen any sites using Accordion as a navigation panel - most of them use them for the actual content. I personally think it’s more functional as a navigation panel. I smell a new trend started by yours truly, again? (Yes, it’ll take a few hours for the super ego boost to wash off.) The color scheme of orange and green isn’t really mine. It belongs to the organization. I just gave them a slightly yellowish tint to match my pink.
What do you guys think?
Don’t worry this isn’t one of them PayPerPost sites where all bloggers seem to love and hate so much. My host has given me 100% uptime and treated me very well since the beginning so I’m just recommending them to anyone who needs a website.
Anyways, my host WebHostingBuzz just sent me an exclusive coupon code that gives a 25% discount on whatever they order. This code will be valid from 20th August to 1st September.
Their shared hosting prices are as follows:
And you get:
They also have reseller, dedicated and semi-dedicated hosting. The coupon code can also be used for these other services. I also have a review on them at my host review page here.
Site Updates!
The iRadio has been drastically updated. I’ve deleted ‘Party Tracks’, added “Acoustic” and renamed “Salsa” to include Bossa Nova and R&B-styled Reggaeton. (No, not all reggaeton tracks sound like Gasolina!) You’ll get the idea when you listen to Daddy Yankee’s Coraza Divina. Oh and a bunch of songs have been deleted and a lot more have been uploaded.
To those who are new to this site, my music is centered around Korean music, lightly flavored with English, Spanish, French & Japanese music. Enjoy!
Warning! Unusual rant. I totally snapped after my new Mac just died.
Just when I get my Photoshop, it died. The damn thing just stopped working while I was checking my gmail. It wouldn’t force quit nor restart, so I had to reboot the hard way. Then it couldn’t startup again. I mean, it has only been 2 months since I got my Macbook and it’s already half dead either because of overheating or a hard disk error.
My laptop is my life. I play, communicate and work with it. No computer under my use has ever had major problems. I meticulously care for its software and other functions (though not too conscious about the cleanliness of its exterior heh!). No one defrags and run anti-virus/spyware programs as frequently as I do. Even the supposed impenetrable Mac was well taken care of.
Seriously, with all the hype about how superior Macs are to Windows, this is the shittiest experience I’ve had with a computer. I didn’t even do anything for it to die. Gmail can’t possibly kill 2GB RAM on a 2.16Ghz Intel Core Duo with enough space left to fit 20 HQ movies. Can you imagine if I was in a middle of an essay and it just suddenly died? I would have seriously jumped off the building.
Steve Jobs better be making laptops with some durability in the future. I mean you are quite a failure of an engineer if a user can’t trust his/her own computer to function without suddenly wiping out the hard disk for no reason at all.
When Apple is done fixing it, I will be selling it for cheap. I should have stayed a loyal customer to Sony to begin with. Looks like I will end up with a Pink Sony Laptop after all.
TO MAC FANATICS: Shut the hell up. It’s not hip for a computer to die on you may it be Windows, Linux or Mac. With such a horrifying experience, I will probably never own an Apple product again.
