Amazing! I come back to this topic as it approaches the two year mark and people are still debating this. Now this is what I call a debate. I found this because I am finishing up my degree and my last class I'm taking is religion. I will be going to a four year next to study religious philosophy so I looked up "A world with religion" and this topic was number two on google and I thought to myself, interesting, this topic is STILL going! Anyways, even though I haven't been active here for a long time I thought I would reply to a post and maybe come back more often when needing help with religion work. I completely disagree. To me it gives me more of a future. In my religious beliefs, or lack of I should say, it makes me want to live life to the fullest extent even more. When I was younger before I became an Atheist I went to a Catholic school and learned about heaven and so fourth. I wasn't scared about dying just as you aren't, but I also didn't seem to care about what I did and when as much. When I turned 11 I had an epiphany that I never believed in God because I honestly couldn't believe of this mystical creature/being/man. Sense then I put my life into full gear am more cautious about what I do and find myself more moralistic because I know that I have one life to live, only one, and then I am done. I want to live it to the fullest. Being a criminal and spending life in prison would be a total waste of life to me because I would have accomplished nothing. Prior to that I had the feelings of "why does it matter if this life doesn't mean anything except to get me into heaven?" I know for a fact, in my case, I would have never been able to finish high school, graduate college with a 3.7GPA+, be in a long term relationship starting at 16, and become a web developer at 17 if I had never become an Atheist because I wouldn't have felt the need to work that hard sense this life was only to get me into heaven. Religion to me, does not give hope, but a reason to slack off and only do the minimum. Obviously not all people who are religious slackers, but I think many do use this as an excuse.

that's weird. Im going to take a screenshot. I made sure I am not logged into google as well since they try to make results more relovent and that could mess the results up. Thats odd though.

I was looking at my Google webmaster tools when I looked at my top searches. I saw the number one search that brings my site up is trap 17. It's last on the first page, but I thought it was cool my site comes when you look up trap 17. Not 100% sure why though. I mention trap 17 more in my blog rather then portfolio site... If ever. Does anyone have an idea why my site would come up?

My Clean And Minimal Portfolio Site Less is More
BooZker replied to BooZker's topic in Websites and Web Designing
Sorry. That is my old site. I have since updated my site to a totally new layout. go to oscargodson.comThis is a new site and it's no longer considered minimal. I still need to add more freebies and portfolio stuff. Ill fix it up on the top post! -

I have been using IE conditionals for awhile and never had any problems. Now it wont work at all. I have tried so many different ways and nothing works. I would prefer it to be in the /css directory, but i dont know, it didn't work there so i tried the root. you can view this file at http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ FF and Safari it looks like it is supposed to (and i didn't design just slicing it for a client) IE6 is having the issues and I just want to put a conditional in there and it will fix it all. The top shadow you see in FF and Safari should be gone in IE6 because i took it out to test it. So you can see if the shadow that shadow is gone.

Wikipedia + Myspace = ... An idea for an interesting site
BooZker replied to BooZker's topic in Science and Technology
I attached a screen shot.I have had numerous accounts of people saying they would want to use and they are waiting. I don't have the time to do ALL of this by myself and I have had some problems with other people getting back to me and stuff. If anyone can contribute ANY time let me know. This will be a great site if it was up and running. Not many people have said they WOULDN'T like it. -
Wow, no reply in two days. No blog, no FTP, no CPanel, this web hosting is useless as of the last couple days. I'm going to give them another day or, so but then im moving. I don't know why I don't get a reply here on the forums or an email since i put in a ticket 2 days ago. It's actually almost been 3. Trap 17 has been a great host, but this is not a little problem. My site has been down more then the 99.99% advertised. oh well... I guess we all just sit an wait...or move...

I know you all are trying to help, but you are acting like we are fairly uneducated If we are ALL having this problem it's not due to a firewall, or a browser problem. Even more so when I can not login through FTP using my Macs built in FTP or Transmit, can't login to CPanel and MySQL isn't logging into the datebase at all.

Just like the other, I can not access my account. I did not forget the password that i have had for over one year. My blog is totally down because it cant connect to the MySQL database. I can not upload any new files through CPanel or FTP. My site is totally down writeable wise. My site is pretty much Read Only other then my blog which is 100% down. I got the Live Help then they said to send a email, so that live help was totally useless and that was almost a day ago. I sent an email about day ago and no one has replied. This isn't some little problem, my entire site is down other then my contact and bio page as well as my home page.Any help would be nice, but im not wasting 10 credits on something that is not my fault.Thanks. Im not mad just a little frustrated

Problem fixed! SORRY. You can delete this topic or keep it up for people later on. I fixed the code so it will fade a div on page load. So if anyone wants to use it! jQuery makes it super easy to make things fade in and out, but I don't know how to do this and there site isn't responding fast enough. I have waited 30 mins! Anyways all I want is something super simple with jQuery I have a logo as a background image in my CSS in a div with a class of .logo. I want that to load slowly when the page loads. So you would go to my site and you wouldnt see anything for just a second then the logo fades in. I could use flash, yes, but that's icky and bloated for something so simple that I know I can do with jQuery. Here is the code that I was editing to try to get it to work. How and what do i do? <script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function(){ $('div.logo').fadeIn('slow'); }); </script> This is what the HTML looks like that I want to have fade in <div class="logo"></div> and the CSS .logo { margin:126px auto; background:url(../images/styles/logo.jpg); border:none; color:#ffffff; width:536px; height:171px; display:hidden; } right now i have it working... but not the way i want. Right now it fades in like the text on http://15daysofjquery.com/

Well i love the stripes and the blue. There will be a problem however with the titles. Those are not web based fonts, so you would have to make an image for every title. Otherwise looks good for a techy/gamer site.

Atheist Are So God Forsaken Smug im totally serious
BooZker replied to mr ? impressive's topic in The Vent
So now you are going to try to see which one is better. Who killed more? Which one was faster? Either way, religion was the cause. Religion creates evil. There is no way you can tell me otherwise. Religion gives excuse to do horrible horrible things. Buddhist are the only people who actually do not want others to believe in their religion. There is even a quote from a Buddha that goes They don't believe in God's. They are much more advanced in their religion. I believe Christian is a very old school way of believing. Ideas are not thought out in the Bible and there is a God, which makes it REALLY old school. Buddhist believe in scientific sort of research into their religion. That is exactly my point. This crap amazes me. Christians are so forsaken smug as the post SHOULD say. Atheists don't believe this, Buddist don't believe this and Indian beliefs believe this. What even more dumb, I have never turned towards God and yet i AM blessed. I got a job at 17 that i LOVE and I am a Senior Web Developer, I have had the best parents ever (that are not religious), I have a perfect girlfriend and been going out for over a year that I met out of high school, and I graduated from high school 2 year early. Now how am i cursed? I do not believe in it at all? That's odd because my Encyclopedia, not Wikipedia, says this: So im not 100% sure what you are talking about. Please explain. -
Homework Site A P2P Homework site/program?
BooZker replied to BooZker's topic in Science and Technology
Well if anyone knows any coding and would like to start it email me or PM me. I wanted to do it and then after the negative comments I stopped posting in here and started another project I thought of with some members here called HAP. The "Human Autobiography Project" and is that name just until a logo is finished. I can do all the design and the main XHTML and CSS, but I am swamped with work, school, AND HAP, and this if anyone wanted.so just let me know. -
OK OK OK. I have posted in here 2-3 times each time with something new, but FINALLY I have found my favorite editor and FTP. OS: I use Mac OS X 10.4.9. I love it! I have a linux (Ubuntu) but i dont nearly use it as much as my Mac. Text Editor: TextMate from Macromates. http://macromates.com/. I love the little things included like how it you close tags with cmd + alt + . or how it puts the cursor in between "" in HTML tags if you were writing class= for example. I love how it closes CSS tags by its self and more. Even better it can color code Ruby on rails! Its a Mac app FTP: I use Transmit 3. Its a great one. I like how you can simply drag files into the icon on the dock and it knows where to place them on your website or what folder. Plus it will take the favorites from Fetch if you are a owner of that one. Graphics and layout: Adobe Illustrator CS2 and soon to be CS3. I love the huge canvas. I also love vector graphics. Being able to scale big and small without loosing quality is perfect. Why would you use photoshop for graphics anyways? Once you make it that size your stuck. I like making graphics then cutting them out so i dont have to have 100 photoshop files with different buttons. I can have one AI document and have all the web graphics on there and when i want to cut one out I simply select what I want and export as web graphic. Browser: I use Safari. I used UNO to skin it though because I didn't like the brush steel look and a plug in to make it so it stops me before I close out with more then one tab, but those two fixes made it one of my favorite browsers. I use Firefox though for the web dev tools. Safari + Firefox make a good mix for me though. Safari as my fun browser and Firefox to correct HTML errors. Testing Browsers: I test in Opera 9 Opera 9.5 Wii Browser (Powered by Opera) IE 6 IE 7 Safari 2 Safari 3 Firefox 2 Other Apps: Thumbscrew: Use it to create great looking thumbnails Parallels: To test websites in the IEs iPhone Simulator: To test on mobile devices

Php Only Gallery I dont know PHP well and cant find a free script
BooZker replied to BooZker's topic in Programming
thanks! OK let me go through them and check each one. Whichever one I have to do the least tweaking. Truefusions looks like I'll have to do some tweaking to where it goes when you click on a thumbnail and some of the CSS and then jlhaslip's looks promising, but ill have to really go through the code on what I have to tweak. I don't see a way to set how many per page and then makes a new page.thanks again. I'm going to get some shut eye before bed then tomorrow I'll go through and check them out. How should i pay ? Paypal or credits or what?
