Journal Xerithane's Journal: All in a days work. 16

Journal by Xerithane

This has been my project for the day... really, it's weekend. My goal is to get nerdfarm.org, and get the business plan in a very workable format. Granted, they aren't related at all, but it's a good break between artistic, code, and business.

nerdfarm.org, version two point oh, in effect. I still need to get the user signup stuff going on, the download links, a cleaner journal entry system (but you can't see it cause you aren't a member, bitch!) It's getting there, and it's a thousand-line day and I'm freaking done.

I will release the nerdfarm code as a sample site for MagicBox, if anybody is interested, because there is still virtually no documentation for MagicBox.

Sorry -- I am an idiot. I fixed the redirect, and now you know my development network is the TLD '.dev'

Clever, isn't it?

Update - IE6 is apparently broken. I'm not sure what's wrong with it, but it seems very unhappy. I don't do shit on IE, but it works fine on Konqueror and Mozilla, so if anybody can help me out with why it's broken, I'd appreciate it.

Update - Thank you, BofKentucky! Telling me in polite terms I'm an idiot, and I didn't close the tag. Also, fixed the valid stuff, so now it validates as xhtml and all that. So, it works under IE but there is one weird rendering issue with the title bar. I hate IE.

  • I get a 302 redirect to http://nerdfarm.dev/nf. I use the normal domain name system and can't find dev as a top level domain. Is this just a testing domain TLD or is an alternate DNS namespace. If not, you might want to fix the redirect.

    yes, I'm bored on a saturday night...

  • DEV no go.


    Hey ho let's go-
    They're forming in a straight line
    They're going through a tight wind
    The kids are losing their minds
    The Blitzkrieg Bop
    They're piling in the back seat
    They're generation steam heat
    Pulsating to the back beat
    The Blitzkrieg Bop
    Hey ho let's go
    Shoot'em in the back now
    What they want, I don't know
    They're all reved up and ready to go.

  • You really can't give us a teaser and not let us see can you. with a domain like nerdfarm.org your sure to attract the curiosities of slashdotters.
  • after getting the redirect from nerdfarm.dev/nf to nerdfarm.org/nf, I found the site -- but it's a blank page in MSIE 6. Shows up fine in NS 7.1 though. (viewed source, yep got the same complete page both times).

  • close your <title>
    close your img tags correctly <img src="" />
    use <span class=""> not <font class="">

    That would solve the html problems

    http://validator.w3.org/ is what generated this info. Also, there is a moz plugin called checky that adds a ton of validators and other cool stuff in a context menu.

    • Shit, template issue on the title.

      Thanks for the heads up, I just assumed that since Mozilla rendered it, it was ok. I'll have to be pissed at Mozilla for not following spec this time.

      I changed the font and fixed the img tag (still getting used to XHTML, and miss it sometimes.)

      Thanks again
      • We have to support NS4 on the company site, and if it doesn't validate, it pukes, so I run every page through the validators before it goes live. Force of habit when I see layout trouble. The editor I use HTML-Kit [chami.com] integrates the CSS and HTML validators so its a one-button check if I'm already online (stuck on dialup at home)
        As for Moz not following spec, I don't mind browsers that "degrade gracefully", we all make mistakes, and frankly, it should be smart enough to auto-close when a root element closes i
        • Try adding a width: 100%; in the headertitle class
          • Try adding a width: 100%; in the headertitle class

            Since headertitle is offset the width: 100% would push it over the border of a page. That's why right: 0px; is a better way to go, but IE has a problem with it.
            • gotcha, one solution I've used for stuff like this is to wrap the div/span in a
              border solid 1px target_color; you can see it in use at http://www.bluecell.com could play with the z-indexing as well.
              • Eventually I may take the time to learn all of the CSS nuance and workarounds, but I really just prefer to write code. I was pretty pleased with how it looks so far, so I think I'm just going to leave it be.

                Now onto more productive software... urgh. Anyway, thanks a lot for your help, I appreciate it greatly.
