    un-fixing the position of the navbar in mobile view on Bootstrap with CSS and jQuery

    The floating navbar on responsive/mobile Bootstrap templates has a fixed position. But when the menu becomes longer, I needed to make it ‘relative’ in position so that the person can scroll down the items to see the other links. jQuery function mobile_header() { /* on mobile, opening the menu scrolls to top and removed the…

    shame at feeling bourgeois

    I was supposed to go to a client meeting today, and the building was somewhere around Chino Roces Avenue. With the usual Makati traffic, it took me an hour and a half to get there from Eastwood. It was the first time I’ve ever gone to Chino Roces, and I had to get dropped off…

    no longer the first day of september

    It’s sort-of the start of September, and I may have not done everything I said I wanted to do back in July, but this week has been a week of learning new things, so time hasn’t been completely wasted. I managed to try out and install Jekyll, and I’m still evaluating how convenient it is…

    things are catching up

    I’ve been holding out and/or waiting for projects since I quit working full-time for Save22 in July (I also no longer work freelance for them due to an onslaught of work), and finally everything caught up with me. 1. I found part-time work (still daily) at Eastwood, where I’m learning to make Phonegap stuff for…

  • Diving, Guildwars 2

    Diving, Guildwars 2

    Went Guildwars 2 diving with some online players. At least I managed to get the “Best. Dive. Ever.” achievement, haha. Apparently, there are 38 diving spots in the game. It was just digital, but doing the jumps just to get to the goggles from Lion Arch was already nearly heart-stopping for me. Haha.

    Intro on Task-oriented Information Architecture

    I’ve been looking for some online articles to read up on task-oriented IA for a project, and haven’t found many. The first blog post I saw, and that have been linked by others, was Michael Andrew’s short introspective entry about it. Here he says: When experimenting with task-oriented IA, here are some issues to keep…

  • the long road

    the long road

    I’ve been looking for job options since I’ve left my full-time job at Save22, and I’ve met up with someone who offered me a job when I was a fresh graduate. We caught up with each other and what’s happened in the last 2 years. One thing’s consistent: I want to work on design and…

    One day with a Nokia 520

    JJ saw me using my phone and said, “Do you have the same phone as C?” YES. YES I DO NOW. Because I mentioned it to my mom, and told her how my iPhone 4S is broken (and the people said they can’t fix the wifi), and that this Lumia 520 is only P7k. So…

  • A List of Windows Phone Apps I Could Use

    A List of Windows Phone Apps I Could Use

    Ever since C bought his Lumia 520, I’ve been justifying to myself why I wouldn’t mind switching to a W8 Phone. It’s like selling an idea to yourself, hahahaha. So I helped him (or myself) find a list of pretty Windows 8 apps that could be useful and/or fun to have:  First the official apps…
