Require assistance with design update


Recommended Posts

HTML (skilled) - Pff I can make HTML do back flips if I really want to :rofl:

XHTML Validation - All my sites are XHTML Transitional Valid :)

Javascripting - I can get around no problems with java

PHP (some knowledge) - PHP I'm not the BEST at, but I do know quite a bit (and it does say "some knowledge")

Graphics - I am good at graphics.. or so I like to think, but define good and then I can say yay or nay to that :p

There's only one problem : / the time limit. March is mostly school, and then april is mostly holidays.

But *shrug* if NW needs help I'm always willing to give a hand :]

HTML: Skilled

XHTML Validation: Skilled in Transitional validation.

Javascripting: General understanding. I can modify it but I can't write it from scratch. :/

PHP: I code almost everything in PHP. I have a PHP & MYSQL CMS in the works (almost done too).

Graphics: Skilled in Photoshop.

Available from 10-12PM Eastern Monday - Friday. After 7PM Saturdays and all day Sundays. I'd prefer working on Sundays since I have them free and nothing to do on them.

As for the monetary reward: I can honestly say that getting anything in return would be a bonus, but not necessary. Adding my work on the Neowin layout to my portfolio would be enough. :D

Check my site for examples of my work.

From what I remember they need someone in PHP the most. From reading here I see a few that say they are awesome in PHP, I'd recommend for them to apply.

It is hard though to find someone good in coding (in a multitude of languages) and creative. There is only 24 hours in a day to learn languages and/or graphic programs and the fact that at a certain age you will start forgetting things.

#EDIT: And im experienced in theming/customising IPB ;)

happy?: P

We need someone who will be able to help code the new side-menu system. I want to be able to hide specific menu items and have the site remember which menu items are opened and closed. The options need to go in a pop-up assistant for the updated My Neowin menu (and portal links).

I recently did something like this for the Intranet site for my company. Even wrote a cool sorta fadey slide-in/out animation for it (cross browser, of course). Also did some draggable popup-windows (loads separate HTML in an iframe) for a couple of our side-bar widgets (our weather widget is the best I've ever seen, on any site). It all looks very smooth thanks to the animation class I wrote. The site also uses several forms of "AJAX", including a JS class I wrote that does automatic updates through HTML tag to XML tag bindings, some updates from CSV files, and a few direct innerHTML updates. I also recently wrote an app that uses things like drag-and-drop and behind the scenes AJAX updates to the server. I'm a huge fan of client side updates and hitting the server as little as possible, and I think my work is very good evidence of this.

As far as skillsets go, I like to think I'm pretty decent at JavaScript, and have decent HTML and graphics skills. My server-side experience is in JSPs and servlets, although I did write a small PHP site a few years back.

Not sure all of what you're needing help with, but if it's just a side-bar menu system, I could probably help you out with that.

I can give you 2 people to help, one Graphics guy (CSS, XHTML, Graphics creation such as... www.thetechaven.com, thetechaven.com/nalbum/keine_lust/) and then the coder for that site, (PHP, Javascript, AJAX, MYSQL).

I myself would enjoy to help a large growing community.

Please email (dpeters @ thetechaven . com) if you are interested.

Thankyou.

Hey,

HTML - Know very well.

CSS - Also, very fluent.

XHTML Validating - Sorry not much experience or knowledge here.

PHP - Pretty broad knowledge.

Graphic Design - Been using photoshop for almost two years.

IPB Skinning - Made more IPB skins than had hot dinners :)

If you would like, contact me on msn - dan[at]danielellis.net

I know both HTML and XHTML really well; every site and page I code (even my 404 error pages!) are always validated. Same story with my CSS, with no errors. I know a hell of a lot of PHP too, and I'm pretty good with XML. I have an ok knowledge of Javascript too. :)

I've been using, modding and skinning IPB since version 1.2, and have always tried to get these 100% valid too :)

I've also been using Photoshop since version 5, and I pretty much know it inside out ;)

I spend over 8 hours a day online, usually more, and I would love to help Neowin wherever possible (Y)

    • Gf needed a new Surface and was looking at a Surface Laptop because of the Snapdragon. Seeing as it was a two year old chip she just decided to get a Lenovo Yoga 2 in 1 instead. Personally this Surface Ultra Cassis reminds me a bit of Razor. It would be interesting if it could handle proper gaming and be 17 inch.
    • No idea, frankly, I'm not into minimum requirements gaming, but it would be an interesting test to find out. Also, I just have to point out that it wasn't my intention to downplay the performance of DXVK on Linux or Linux gaming in general (despite my own experience being a bit of a mixed bag). I just thought it would be good to point out that DXVK is not Linux exclusive and that you can benefit from using it even in Windows.
    • Fastfetch 2.64 released bringing new logos and other improvements by David Uzondu Fastfetch, the popular command-line system information tool that developers created as a fast alternative to the classic Neofetch utility, has updated its codebase to version 2.64, bringing experimental scripting power, streamlined compilation options, a smarter logo renderer, and Codec module support. As noted earlier, Fastfetch can now detect hardware-accelerated video codecs across Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android through this new Codec module. On Linux and BSD, the utility uses VA-API by default, with a fallback to VDPAU on Nvidia hardware if compiled with libva and libvdpau. Windows users get D3D12VA on Windows 11 or D3D11VA with Media Foundation Transforms on older systems, while macOS relies on VideoToolbox and Android utilizes AMediaCodec. You can manually toggle Vulkan Video via the config file, and the program will report both encoders and decoders unless configured otherwise. Logo support for Quasar, Origami, Origami_small, NixOS2, and BerserkArch also landed in this release. BerserkArch, if you have never heard of it, is a specialized Arch Linux derivative that targets security researchers and power users. This distro comes with an offensive security tool manager, simply called berserk, which allows users to install complex hacking toolkits with single terminal commands. Moving on, Fastfetch now has experimental scripting options for custom formats using Lua or QuickJS. The Lua integration supports versions 5.3 through 5.5, sharing a single interpreter instance across all modules so you can store variables globally. T Alternatively, if you prefer JavaScript, you can use QuickJS-ng version 0.15.0 or newer to evaluate your custom formats with the qjs: prefix. Other changes that version 2.64 brings include native CMake compilation flags to disable specific modules to shrink the final binary size. Users can delete unwanted ASCII logo files directly from the source directory before building to save additional space. The format engine now boasts ANSI-escape awareness, meaning you can center text with the new vertical bar specifier without breaking colored outputs. Haiku users receive preliminary support for boot manager, window manager theme, screen brightness, and other basic properties. Finally, the Linux edition now extracts desktop wallpaper and theme details from the modern COSMIC desktop environment.
