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)

    • Nobody is buying a PS5 only for playing Until Dawn 2. Their loss.
    • If you actually used it instead of responding like a petulant child you might be surprised. I switched from Google some time ago and have been very satisfied.
    • I am one of the first people to use the DXVK technology. In the channel below you can see some videos that I have made using this technology, including Assassin's Creed Odyssey. https://www.youtube.com/@nahum7995/videos Assassin's Creed Odyssey experienced several bugs and technical issues during its first months after release. It launched with its own fair share of funny but frustrating glitches. I ran it on DXVK 9 days after its release and I played it for many hours but didn't see a single significant bug on Linux. Assassin's Creed Odyssey is widely celebrated for pushing the franchise in bold new directions and specifically for nailing several elements better than any other title in the AC series: Player Choice & Branching Narrative, The Mercenary & Cultist System, Mythological Integration, Overpowered Combat Abilities, Open World Exploration But what I'm trying to point out is that this game wasn't quite playable on most windows systems, until a few months after its release when most of the bugs were fixed. However, on Linux it ran completely flawless from day one, although DXVK had seen little development and refinement at the time. What do you think the situation will be in 2026 now that most bugs and glitches of DXVK have been completely eliminated? This is information from Google about these situations that I am quoting. In many cases, using DXVK (a translation layer that converts DirectX 9, 10, or 11 into Vulkan) can result in more stable frame times and higher performance than native Windows rendering. This happens primarily by bypassing driver overhead and multithreading draw calls that were previously restricted to a single CPU core. Older APIs (like DirectX 9 and 11) are largely single-threaded on the CPU side. DXVK translates these calls to Vulkan, which is highly multi-threaded. This reduces CPU-bound stuttering on weaker processors. In certain cases, GPU manufacturers (especially AMD) have significantly better and more modern Vulkan drivers than they do for legacy DirectX. Vulkan gives developers—and in this case, the translation layer—closer control over how resources are held in VRAM. This can prevent micro-stutters and sudden frame drops during chaotic gameplay. Yes, certain games, particularly older DirectX 9 to 11 titles, can run with fewer crashes on DXVK than on native Windows. By intercepting DirectX draw calls and translating them into the modern, highly efficient Vulkan API, DXVK bypasses the limitations and poor driver support that cause instability in aging game engines. PlayStation 1, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 can be easily and perfectly emulated on Linux. In fact, modern Linux emulators offer high-performance upscaling, widescreen patches, and automatic controller mapping out of the box.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 PlayStation 1/2/3 games look drastically better on Linux thanks to resolution upscaling. Furthermore, it is also a fact that you cannot play many fun games on Windows either, isn't it? - The Nintendo Switch has an extensive library of exclusive games. - PlayStation has an extensive library of exclusive games - Android has "mobile-exclusive" games, meaning they are exclusive to mobile devices (iOS and Android) and aren't available on PC or consoles. And finally, it is also the case that in the next five years there will be games that millions of people will say you absolutely must play and that they want to play this specific game that released a few days ago. However, the other side of this story is that currently, absolutely no one cares that they cannot play these upcoming games right now.
