Is My Webdesign Too Boring? Your Opinion Please
ChronicLoser replied to ChronicLoser's topic in General Discussion
Are you three looking at the current layout or the newer one? Because I tried to make it more interesting with this new one... http://www.rol-comic.com/junk/layout/index2.php -
Is My Webdesign Too Boring? Your Opinion Please
ChronicLoser replied to ChronicLoser's topic in General Discussion
Well, funny...I actually plan on changin the layout soon. I have a little preview of it here: http://www.rol-comic.com/junk/layout/index.php It's still all undecided at this point. The whiteness of the comic isn't boding too well with the tech layout. And I have yet to add my characters to the banner. There's going to be two pictures of characters on the top...(this is my "test" page, so it'll be constantly changing whenever I work on it...) -
I made this little layout a while back...but now I've been getting replies that it is "too boring" and dull thanks to the grey-ness of the site. Give me some opinions and suggestions please... http://www.rol-comic.com/ ::EDIT:: here's a new version of the layout I'm working on: http://www.rol-comic.com/junk/layout/index.php http://www.rol-comic.com/junk/layout/index2.php <<the better of the two

Hello everyone! I'm here to talk about my little hand-drawn comic. Let me display the links before continuing on with the breif synopsis, details, and such -- home: http://www.rol-comic.com/ archive: http://www.rol-comic.com/?info:comicarchive first strip: http://www.rol-comic.com/comic/comic.php?date=060102 latest strip: http://www.rol-comic.com/comic/ forum: http://www.rol-comic.com/forum/ ROL Comic is a black and white comic about two seemingly normal characters trying to unravel the shady mystery of their unknown past. Upon noticing special uncontrollable abilities submerging during difficult situations, they meet up with three other outcasts and begin an epic adventure. So it's generally a science fiction, humor, adventure mix. It's still relatively new, but it updates every Monday and Friday with an occasional Wednesday update Alright that's it. Critique/Visit my comic/site please

Google Web Accelerator (beta)
ChronicLoser replied to PC Astray's topic in Websites and Web Designing
alright, i ran a quick test with this little google gadget and here's what i got...First I put up many large applications so that i can see an obvious difference in the speeds of webpages. Than I took out my handy dandy stopwatch (don't trust that default timer google provides) and timed the pages. As far as I can tell, the difference in my firefox didn't change at all. Internet Explorer, however, improved DRASTICALLY. In fact, it's much faster than firefox now...loading images and everything. Firefox with and without the "web accelorator" took about 13 seconds to open the somewhat large site. (after cleaning up the cache, history, etc.) Internet Explorer finished the file in 6 seconds with the accelerator. Some in the end, i guess i conclude (at least for my computer), that this web accelerator is a beast with IE but isn't worth it if you plan on using firefox. At least for now...i'm sure with a few new upgrades, google's little application will become more efficient...hopefully... -
Photoshop Tutorial: Abstract Brushing Techniques
ChronicLoser replied to zorlen's topic in Graphics, Design & Animation
hmm, you know what people really need? A tutorial on making their own brushes instead of using other's works lol. I know, i know, they distribute it for public use, but wouldn't it be cooler if a person actually made the brushes themselves and created their signatures that way?Nevertheless I don't know whether or not you made those brushes or not, but the effect is nice either way. Good job on it... -
Alright html wizards...i've got a question I assume that, like other programming codes, html and php compilers read a code from top to bottom. Say I have a object though...and I want it to load last...how do I do that? Let's just pretend I have an image that I do not want to load until everything else on the webpage is loaded...how can I set that up? Is there perhaps a javascript code for it...or maybe a CSS style I could add onto the object? Or better yet, is it possible to make everything within a div/span/table tag load last?Another thing...if I leave an iframe on the very bottom of my html code, will the iframe load after my main content is loaded, or would it load simultaneously with the original page (the page that has the iframe script on it)? Cause if that's true, it would solve the problem i had above...Heh, I need an answer to either the first question, or the second...cause either one would solve my problem of forcing an html object to load last =/ Thanks to anyone who can help me out here

I have an xanga, haven't touched it too much recently...plus the people who used to chat with me on xanga jumped over to myspace or something so i haven't gotten any comments neither...lol Anyways, I'm proud of my xanga design - http://chronicloser.xanga.com/ - except that it runs really really slowly whereas if i were to have the same code on my Xisto account it'd run twice as fast. Xanga has to find itself some faster servers. Anyways, I like'd xanga a lot when i actually had readers and such. Now...well it's pretty quiet now i've just started to kinda make new entries recently but it's all been those "I'm really busy right now so I'll make another entry later" type of thing lol

welcome nightfox! Hope you find Xisto to be a satisfying host Um, this is a bit offtopic, but i was wondering if i could see some of the skins you've made for IPB, cause I've been playing around a lot with the template of my forum: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ and it's always nice to see some works done by others =P

Adidas Makes Shoes With Chips?
ChronicLoser replied to sky1405241473's topic in Science and Technology
I know this is a bit off-topic, but a $250 shoe that will encourage you to actually go out and exercise (because you don't wanna waste the 250) will benefit you much more than a few video games you sit there on your *bottom* to play in the long run. I despise video games...whoever invented it probably would have second thoughts if he/she knew that it would cause all of the future generation kids to be lazy drones addicted to those "cool" flashy pictures on the television. Heh, alright, I'm gonna get lashed by someone being that this place is probably full of those "drones" lol. Anyways, I'm all for those shoes keep in mind, new things tend to cost more. In time the price will eventually go down. So it's not like these shoes will stay at the 250 range forever =/ -
Nanobots The Future of the World
ChronicLoser replied to ASR1405241491's topic in Science and Technology
Well with new technology, there will always be a risk. I mean, take cars for an instance. At first people were afraid of trains (a little odd, but a true known fact) because they, scientists and the general public, were afraid people wouldn't be able to withstand any speeds faster than 40 mph (another interesting little fact). After a little encouragement, people began to accept them and build off the idea, thus the construction of cars and other transportation means as you can see in the streets of modern day society. Nevertheless, the introduction of cars is also the introduction of car accidents.Anyways, any kind of new technology will come with risks. As for what will happen if someone hacks into the nanobots...i don't think that will be too much of a problem. First of all, nanobots are not controlled by an outside "button" or program/system. It has already been programmed during the manufacturing stage. I guess there's the chance where someone will distribute "bad" nanobots, but that's a risk people will have to take. And it is also rather difficult to change a nanobot after it is constructed, as far as I can understand it. If someone wants to cause destructive harm to someone's physical state, there are much cheaper and easier methods of doing such a thing...Personally, I'm interested i nanotechnology, though i still am a strong believer that biotechnology could take us further... =/ -
lol, how interesting. I'm gonna have to remember this one...i guess it's a good backup way to find music files i can't seem to find anywhere else =P

Piano constructive criticism please?
ChronicLoser replied to iamrockandroll13's topic in Graphics, Design & Animation
looks really good i like it a lot. Was it completely drawn from scratch? Cause it looks like such a realistic piano! THe shape of the instrument, i mean. One thing, i think that could be done is to make the back stripes (the white ones) a bit larger and sticking out a bit moreBut, really, good job on it
