Welcome to the blog of Dan, a designer, artist, blogger, and rabid Apple fanboy.

I’ve made a few small changes to the design. I also added subscription options for the feed, so now it’s possible to subscribe by RSS, Atom, or Email. I also changed the entry font around a little. Upcoming posts:

  • Nintendo DSi review, with pictures, specs, and more.
  • A lot of ranting on various topics such as Starbucks and music.
  • Reviews of several new metal albums.
  • Some fun little ideas on what cigarette boxes should say.
Stick around for these and more!

It’s 4:43 am, which can only mean one thing: all-nighter! Nothing quite like coding/designing into the early hours of morning whilst listening to some hardcore. Now you guys get to participate a bit. In the comments, tell me, how do you all spend your all-nighters?

I’m still alive, don’t worry. I’ve just been busy working on a client’s website. Also, I picked up a DSi yesterday, maybe I’ll review it if I can find some time.

You know how jquery’s slide effects can be a little jerky/jumpy sometimes? Well after much searching, I’ve found the solution. Usually, you would put something like this in the html and css:

<div id="search">
Content here!
</div>
#search {
width: 100%;
padding: 30px 0;
}

The padding and/or margin on the collapsing div cause the jumping effect. However, we can circumvent this simply by revising our code slightly:

<div id="search">
<p>Content here.</p>
</div>
#search {
width: 100%;
}
#search p {
padding: 30px 0;
}

This seems to fix the problem, with a minimal amount of extra code.

Oh and yes, I am working on completing the site, including the comments section. Just be patient.

I got a call from my school today, saying that I failed two classes. Most likely English and Social Studies, because I didn’t do any of the coursework in those classes. Just a heads up, so you guys don’t think I’m dead if I don’t post anything for the next week or so.

Finally installed Safari 4; the tabs are below the address bar again, along with some additional visual improvements. iPhone/iPod Touch OS 3.0 has been pretty good as well. Also implemented quick updates, which are smaller and more frequent than regular posts. Basically, I’ve got a whole Tumblr-esque thing going here.
