    Resource sharing: a Design Basics module

    This is a quickly-gathered list of topics and links to give a simple overview and some foundation of design. I originally shared this with my teammates, but I’m putting it here for anyone who might want to check the list out. (This may not be the best list out there, but it is a quick

  • the zero (or negative) height problem of elements inside an initially hidden container

    the zero (or negative) height problem of elements inside an initially hidden container

    phew, that was a long title. But it took me a while to figure out too. basically, I was working on creating a grid with list elements having the same height. I had done this before on Save22’s older version, and had made a function for it: function same_height(container) { var items_height = []; $(container).each(function()

    you know change is permanent

    I was thinking about this Saturday. How do I feel about it, really? Am I ready? Will I ever be ready? I still feel uncomfortable just thinking about them. But it is merely discomfort now: just recognising the fact that the way I see them (or things) have changed, and I can’t just revert myself

  • A Doctor Who Party

    A Doctor Who Party

    I’m not used to planning surprise parties and OH MAN it is one of those more stressful/paranoid-inducing things a person can experience. Emile and I had our “HE-KNOWS!!!” moments, but C was so overwhelmed by the surprise that it was just so worth it. It was C’s birthday last Thursday (11th) and I thought of maybe

  • bootstrap: two toggle buttons on the nav bar

    bootstrap: two toggle buttons on the nav bar

    Problem: Both menus on the mobile version collapses when the buttons are pressed. You only want one menu to unfold at a time.  Found a fix here: http://jsfiddle.net/gNUEx/ Modified the code a bit: var navbar = $(‘.navbar’); navbar.on(‘click’, ‘[data-toggle=”collapse”]’, function(event){ var $target = $($(this).data(‘target’)); if(!$target.hasClass(‘in’)) $(‘.container .in’).removeClass(‘in’).height(0); })

    because I just wanted to get to know some strangers

    I was browsing through someone’s Tumblr when C asked me, “Who’s that?” “I don’t know.” “What?” “I’m just intrigued. I don’t really know her.” And isn’t that what the web was like? Back when I was twelve? You follow a bunch of people you don’t really know, read about their lives, comment and maybe eventually

  • front-end to server-side workflow

    front-end to server-side workflow

    There’s a different workflow for everybody so I’m wondering what other people’s workflow are when it comes to doing front-end and then server-side. I would usually: code the base template in PHP (so I have separate header / footer / and content pages. If I need specific body classes, I just write up functions quickly).

    SublimeText2, LESS css, and Bootstrap

    I’ve finally managed to figure out how to download/set up Sublime Text 2 Packages, via the Package Control plugin, and oh man it is awesome. To be honest, I’m not sure how I got it working because I was trying it out yesterday and couldn’t figure it out at all (is it just a timing thing

    responsive design and client pitches

    Right now, I’m testing out waters with a potential client who is requiring me to submit PSDs of 4 different resolutions (mobile phone, tablet, “medium” desktop, wide-screen desktop) and I’m taking around four hours just trying to design for 1 resolution of 1 specific screen. How I would do it, personally: Design wireframes for the
