“Can you design our website so it prints in landscape format?”
– (via clientsfromhell)
Actually, this isn’t that bad of a request. What few people know is you can design a website so it scrolls horizontally and not vertically. I’ve done it, was rather fun. And printing it? Well, it would do so in landscape format.

"Attached are the pictures" (.doc)
Second time it happens when interacting with clients throughout the years of working here. Second time I sent them an email politely saying nope.avi. Original file formats preferred, if not, large JPG/PNG.
We graphic designers laugh: “Ahahaha! — fuck… How am I going to make the client understand this?”

A client has various business areas which are identified by acronyms, including LAP, EQP and FAP. They wanted some new online adverts made up. I asked what ideas they’d had for the text. This is what they came back with
FAP online (everyone is doing it)
FAP in schools
FAP for life.
FAP with your friends and family!

Time; For Myself
Honestly, I could use a couple months off to focus on a lot of my personal projects. It’s really starting to irk me that I can’t. Both my boss and my admin know I’ve been wanting to do this, but I don’t know if they’ll let me or if I can pull it off. I’m usually busy enough work that I put in 40h a week.
It’s nice being able to publish websites that you...

WatchAnonymous:
Greetings citizens of the world, We are Anonymous. We come to you to alert you of a horrific bill that is being pushed through the United States government. The EEA or Enemy Expatriation Act HR 3166 when passed would give the right to the Government to revoke the citizenship of any U.S. citizen for being a threat to the stability of the government. All one would have to do is commit a...

More Migration; Linux
Again, I’m wanting to heavily work on my migration scripts. The end result I would like to see would be:
$ break mysite migrate --backup=full --backup-from dev live usage: break WORKSPACE TYPE [OPTIONS]..
In essence it would
Select the the workspace environment, identifying different aliases for different directory/MySQL tables(ex.:dev dir=/var/www/dev/ and sql=table_dev)

Tumblr
Haven’t really been around much except to post tidbits of code and Linux. I haven’t even checked my dashboard in a week; and I don’t feel the need to really. Between work, video games and taking care of three pets on IRC, I haven’t really had the time. There are certain users I would like to follow a lot because of insight they provide in my interests, but other then that,...

Motivation and Goal; Working Out
I’ve had this P90X sitting in my apartment for the past what… 6-8 months? Well, I tried it, was starting to do it but on the condition that it was Paul and I. We would work out together, motivate each other and such. But when it came down to it, he only cooked a couple times and never worked out. Actually, he was never even home…
I don’t do all that well on my own. I never...

Int Only Input
Just a quick pastie of a script I did using jQuery. This prevents the users from inserting anything besides numbers within an input. It could easily be used for <textarea /> as well. For good measure, also make sure to validate the user input server side incase they hacked the submit data.
$("#build-guid input").keydown(function(e){
var key = (e.keyCode ? e.keyCode : e.which)
var numOnly =...

Return To Manufacturer
Seems I’ve made a slight mistake… In hopes to clean up the plethora of boxes accumulated by computer purchases, I have now been made aware that I cannot return my faulty power supply to the manufacturer. It’s not reading properly on a voltage meter and is one of two possible causes my computer doesn’t detect any of my hard drives — not even my SSD! The other potential...

Quality of Sound
My office is starting to come together. Desk in order, small library with video games, things being put away. Right now, the thing that makes me the most happy is hooking up my speakers. Alas I’m limited to stereo since my laptop only has one jack but still, such an improvement in sound quality.
Dubstep, oh dubstep! Upbeat music, oh upbeat.
I dance.

Crontab: Pretty Rsync
Oh Unix, how I love thee. Another script, this one built specifically for cron jobs. A simply rsync with some safety features built in; param checks, directory checks, and progress checks.
$ qsync
Usage: qsync FROM TO
FROM specifies the directory to rsync from and TO is the destination.
Source available: http://www.gammacontrol.ca/development/linux/qsync.txt
First it checks the existence of a...

Auto Refresh Page [Concept]
So basically I want to create a small AJAX script that would tell the page to refresh itself if ever it detects a change in any file from the previous load. I’m thinking of a bookmarklet that opens a popup which can send JavaScript commands — specifically the refresh one — to the parent(the page we want refreshed).
Been thinking of doing this for a while now. Never got around to...
