I have been adding a parallax scroller for an album listing on a current project and it is starting to really materialize and look like something. May end up darkening the background a tad. This is a responsive site so I’m making a tablet/phone version as well since parallax isn’t so mobile friendly.
When the PHP-CGI vulnerability was disclosed the other day, I figured it would only be a matter of time before we started seeing compromised sites out in the wild. To help defend yourself, based on how the attackers are executing their exploit, add the code below to your .htaccess file. (The guys at PHP are [...]
One of these days HTML5 will be recognized as a W3C Recommendation but all-in-all, HTML5 is here today. Modern browsers support its usage (for the most part, *cough* IE) and the push to get users to upgrade to the latest version of their favorite browser is stronger then ever. HTML5 is was partly responsible for [...]
I had some free time over the weekend and decided to put some ideas in my head down on paper. This was the second iteration of my thought after some visualizing, more or less staring at my guitar amplifier for an hour or so.
Sometimes you need to display the time since you have published a post in WordPress. Include the following code in your theme’s functions.php file then include get_time_since_posted() in the WP loop to display. 1234function get_time_since_posted() { $time_since_posted = human_time_diff( get_the_time( ‘U’ ), current_time( ‘timestamp’ ) ) . ‘ ago’; return $time_since_posted; [...]
Adobe Lightroom is sure fun to play around with. Photographed, edited photo and drew up little “logo” in Photoshop.
To be quite honest, I have never been the gamer type. I played Battlefield 2 and Battlefield 2142 both, but both very briefly before I lost interest and moved on to something “real”, like life or what not. When I heard Battlefield 3 was coming out last year, it perked my interest, the gameplay seemed rather cool and unique. The PC graphics looked nothing short of stunning. Unfortunately I’ve never had the extra cash to have even a modest gaming machine, but I did have an old second generation Xbox 360. After a bit of begging (of sorts) to Ashley to get it as my upcoming birthday gift (coincidentally the game’s release was real close to my birthday).
After receiving the game I got to playing and rather quickly I was seriously discouraged. This Xbox 360 controller felt like driving a semi truck. I couldn’t shoot the broad side of a barn from 5′ away. After a few (hundred) hours of gameplay, I finally got to the point where I was a fairly ‘proficient’ player. I have made a few good Xbox buddies, whom taught me the game, the right way to play the objectives and how to play the game wisely and efficiently. As of the past few months I have managed to increase my kill-to-death ratio above 1 and it consistently climbs. My skill score tends to continuously go up as time passes. Anymore, I’m MVP 1-3 in every match and one of the highest scoring players. Lately I have been able to manage top kills in a round, or close to it.
Thanks for putting out a great game DICE. I look forward to the upcoming Close Quarters expansion pack due out in June.
