topic_title: Jr Designer thread - Wordpress edition

post:
 Still trying to make wordpress my bitch, but damn layout is hard.

Ok.  I found some resources if any jr designers are reading this and need a refresher on layout.

https://www.datocms-assets.com/2…
https://www.ramotion.com/blog/we…

Some random thoughts:
I had assumed that the logo/clickable title would always be the topmost thing, and centered. But based on that bottom pic, It appears the logo shares space with the top nav, on the same row in the header (which is itself can be split into a top, middle, and bottom header) with the logo and/or title not being centered but offset to the left.  Because that's where the eye goes first when westerners first land on a page, top left.

So the surprise there was that I thought the logo would only share row space with the h1 page title, not the navigation.  Also, some of that stuff in the image looks left justified, not centered.  On mobile it will be centered due to space, but still.  That was unexpected.

And the reason all this matters is because of breakpoints.  The whole web page is either columns stacked side by side or, likely, rows stacked upon each other, and when the viewport is scaled down each element inside that particular row as the rendering engine FLOWS left to right, it will wrap to the next line when it runs out of space.

The breakpoints are gonna make building the side nav VERY fun. :(

And a last note about the side nav that I wished someone had told me- it's an invisible area on the left, not necessarily with an outline that you can see.  Its called sidebar but not really a bar.

Of course only complete wp beginners will get anything out of this, that's why I made the thread.

Like I said, go easy.  I'm doing my best.

comment: I am told building the top nav and the sidebar are the hardest things about building a website.  So no questions for now but...

comment: I'm sure I will get stuck and have a question soon.


post:
 My image posted as a link, so I fixed it below.

I wish he would have designed it in portrait mode, so I can see what I'm supposed to do for mobile.  But what I think happens, is on mobile the hamburger menu in the top right causes the side bar to pop out from the left, and it covers the whole screen which is normal.

Does that sound right?

 Tomorrow I'm going away for a couple of days with my wife to visit a winery and stay at an agritourism hotel, as a gift for our silver wedding anniversary.

Something quiet; a bit of gastronomy, food-nerdy, autumn landscapes, forests, vineyards...

And... yesterday my mother was admitted for a rampant infection; today I have to spend the night with her. I hope it's nothing serious, but if anyone is a real sick person, it's her.

It's going to be a great help to have all the wine in the world nearby ;)

post:
 Asking how something was made is a sign of insecurity. When you see an image, instead of experiencing it, you focus on the process, as if naming the tool will make it safer. You mistake the tool for the intent and the trace for the experience.

Everything visible is already mediated: pigment, lens, pixel and light. There is no purity left to recover, it's all translation. Yet the old reflex persists: if we can identify the technique, perhaps we can shield ourselves from its impact.

Skill matters, but only as a form of language. Beyond that, the work either holds up or it doesn't. The rest: the taxonomies and moral hierarchies of 'real' versus 'fake' are merely a way of avoiding the fact that seeing has never meant knowing.

[User] Continuity

comment: "Oh, wow, that's an expensive-looking camera. You must be a good photographer."

comment: Exactly, the image isn’t in the gear, it’s in the seeing.

comment: Yes, but sometimes, if you are a creative, its curiosity, about seeing something different in your mind and wondering if it would be possible to do this.

comment: I’ve asked this several times and it’s not insecurity. Usually with motion and animation. It’s curiosity.

comment: Yes, but my argument wasn’t about how ideas are executed, but about what happens before we even name them as ‘ideas'. How they are perceived.

comment: That first instant of seeing, before process or curiosity.

comment: But I did say 'Asking how something was made is a sign of insecurity.' so I can see how that was read literally.

Officials in the US and UK have taken sweeping action against “one of the largest investment fraud operations in history,” confiscating a historic amount of funds in the process.

Over the past five years, criminals behind widespread romance and investment scams—often inelegantly referred to as “pig butchering”—have stolen tens of billions from people around the world.

https://www.qbn.com/reply/415325…

garbage,
On the contrary I think it's great for the point I was trying to make.
In order to start from a clear common base, let's agree that this is funny:

We're not qualifying the type of funny or adding any moral value to it (yet).
When looking at the gif my immediate reaction would be a chuckle, regardless of how the image was created. This reaction is immediate, unconscious, even.

We could argue that included in the reading of the image is the fact that it looks AI, but even if we were later to find out it wasn't AI the initial reaction would remain the same. And it's this holding back of a reaction that I was addressing in the first part of my post. It's what seems to me to be an illogical fear of reading an image or any other type of input.

The video is a great precursor to the gif above, and I accept the argument that it's funnier or better. It may even be the direct influence to the gif. But that still doesn't change my reaction to the gif. The chuckle happened.

After that original reaction there are many discussions to be had, like how AI does condition us, as everything else does. But again, I was pointing to a single moment of interaction between myself and the image in front of me.

topic_title: Donald Trump

post: As with most things involving narcissists, only the appearance of winning matters. He wants the public acknowledgment, not the work or merit behind it. The “recognition” itself, in the emptiest sense of the word, is the goal. With something like the Nobel Peace Prize: he has no interest in creating or sustaining peace, only in claiming the award.

topic_title: recent vinyl finds

post:
 7" finds since last weekend, nothing all that rare just stuff that was cheap and caught my eye.

I was really pleased to find this, I was aware of it but had just never found my own copy, the vinyl is really thick too and in great condition.

UK Rockabilly E.P.

The debut Nagging Woman E.P. by Gloucestershire's answer to The Wurzels, in a signed sleeve no less.

Scarce tribute E.P. to the late, great Irish virtuoso fiddle player.

Gimmick release which has the enclosed disc also imprinted onto it's sleeve, the only other copy of a record I have with this fancy trick was Psychedelic Furs 7" Dumb Waiters.

Great 4 track release of the Be Bop Deluxe sampler Hot Valves - I have a copy in a picture sleeve but this is a nice UK demo issue.

Early 70's musical GB the B side was sung by Penny Croft daughter of David Croft, co-creator of 'Dad's Army'.

Aussie E.P. of bird sounds, better than that sounds!

Sweet wee 78rpm greetings card disc, the chap Victor Gordon Michie named inside is most likely the same chap behind Aberdeen's largest pharmacy chain.

 Researchers Mapped the Carbon Cost of Meat in Every US City

The meat industry is a significant contributor to climate change, with livestock supply chains accounting for roughly 14.5% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Per capita meat consumption in the U.S. is among the highest in the world, with Americans eating significantly more meat than the global average.

To gain a clearer picture of how meat consumption drives greenhouse gas emissions across the country, researchers calculated and mapped the “carbon hoofprint” of every city in the contiguous United States. The findings, published Monday in the journal Nature Climate Change, reveal the environmental impacts of the sprawling supply chains that deliver beef, pork, and chicken to Americans.

 We're in the market for a new car for "my wife", an ev.

We love the 500e, but the Inster is the winner.

My youngest sister is a car-seller, she can get us a good deal, and with government aid... we took the plunge. My wife's car was already 20 years old.

The Multipla is out of the question. I'll keep it until the last drop comes out of the Persian Gulf!

 The fucking 4D ModelShop, in London, shut down earlier this year. I just found out earlier.

It was always a bit over-priced, but you could basically get everything in there, and I loved popping down at least a few times a year for the last twenty odd years, jusyt to rifle through all the cool materials, tools and toys they had. Nice people too.

Leafing through internet comments on the subject, it appears that a massive drop in foreign students buying stuff/services from there for their studies is at least partly to blame. This made me think and check through my enquiries over the last couple of yeas and - Yup - there're a lot less international student names... .

Well done, UK. We have more immigration, legal and illegal, than we've ever had and yet..?

comment: Not blaming the current administration, of course. All of them are shite, but it's mostly the last cunts to blame.

comment: why were only foreign students buying stuff? no model makers left in the uk? or the locals too cheap to spend money there?

comment: what locals? in london all the universities are 50 - 70% international students. they pay 4x the fees so why bother replacing them with poor local folk.

 Digital Ocean + Serverpilot.

Get a Digital Ocean droplet in the TO datacentre. The one I use is $24US/month, but get what you need. It's easy to start small and bump up as your needs increase.

Serverpilot is going to run the thing for you and provide your control panel. The basic plan is enough, $5US/month plus $0.50/site. If you're feeling spendy you can go with the business plan that gives you some pretty nice reporting and metrics on the performance.

This setup doesn't provide email though. I've just started looking at MXRoute for client email. It looks promising but I haven't tried it yet.

There is Proxy chat so you can team up with other Raiders and form an army to kill bosses. But if you do the same to kill other teams after some time the AI is going to so agro on you that its almost impossible to survive.

The snow-capped Wasatch Mountain Range makes up the top of the mammoth's head. The silhouette of Utah and a negative space "M" are hidden on the left side of the logo. The curved tusk is meant to evoke the letter "U" for Utah. "Tusks Up" is the team-endorsed rallying cry for Mammoth fans.

 We bought a new (tent sale) refrigerator this weekend and it was delivered today. So it was bought once, delivered to a house, but customer didn't like it so it was never hooked up and returned. We got a great deal on it.
Our old fridge was from 2001 and had developed a leak - traditional freezer on top, fridge on bottom, no frills.
Our new fridge is a counter depth, smudge-proof stainless steel, freezer on bottom. She's not as deep inside but fridge on top is great. It's such a huge visual upgrade when I walk into the kitchen now, the thing is a glowing silver food box of possibilities.
I'm afraid to see how quickly it will break as everyone I talked to has had to repair or replace their new refrigerators within 5 years or so. We got the 8 year warranty.

My shock didn't stop her and she kept going maintaining eye contact like the insane necrophile that she is.

 My old mate sent me this tonight saying he thought it was the funniest thing he'd watched in ages, it has Sora marks all over it, but he thought it was as well made as King of the Hill.
After looking up who made it, an actual nazi, who called for a 'white sharia' in America where white women would be forcibly bred by alpha chads, who appeared on David Duke's podcast multiple times, it made a bit more sense.
Really don't know what weird part of the internet he's hanging out in.

 Today I finally caught the teens that have been vandalizing the 8 foot tall SCHOOL ZONE sign in front of my house by ripping it out of the ground and throwing it to the side of the road.
The city has been out to fix this 3 times this year already.
Today I watched them do it in broad daylight from my front window and my Ring Camera finally recorded it all.
I went out and yelled "What The Hell Are You Doing?" and they ran, I chased after them catching up to one of them I've know since he was a little kid. The other one wouldn't get close enough to me for me to talk to him face to face but he repeatedly yelled, threatened me and called me the "N Word" over and over.
I brushed all of this of as being a stupid teenagers.
What really upset me me is when they called me an "Unc".

TLDR = Teenagers called me Unc.


topic_title: NAS Storage

post:
 I have a 1TB Synergy NAS, which I use for projects I'm currently working on or for those that are "ongoing." I duplicate my PC's 2TB HDD for ongoing projects and I use another 4TB HDD for general backups (and a bunch of external ones for private or old material).

I make weekly backups, both to the backup drive and to the NAS.

If I have to go on vacation or visit a client, I sync the NAS.

I have Google One with 100GB, which is more than enough for everyday use.

I've never had any problems with data loss.

comment: As far as I can tell, there's a browser version for Apple Music, as with Spotify. Not as ideal as a stand-alone app, but it could be helpful for Android.

 Okies for better or worse younger Designers I work with seem to have gone all in on just using either google fonts or whatever they find in Adobe fonts for their files.

Setting all that misery aside for the moment...

My pet peeve with Adobe is they have that stupid creative Cloud Hub thingie where you go to update Apps and activate fonts yet when you want to browse fonts it just launches you to separate web browser.

Why TF can I not browse and install fonts in the Creative Cloud Hub thingie? It's been this broken ass jump through hoops thingie for a while now too.

Only complaining cuz i got brought in a project cold and the response i got asking for fonts was "I used Adobe fonts you can find them there...:

comment: People need to check the Adobe fonts license :)) Same with Google fonts...

 Just ordered that new UGREEN NASync DH2300 yesterday + two 8TB Seagate Iron Wolf drives to use as RAID 1. Drives have arrived, NAS yet to arrive. £450 all in and seems to have most of the features of the more expensive UGREEN NAS

Paying £20p/m for 4TB dropbox atm. Should pay for itself in a couple of years.

comment: also OP you are a madman. 6 bay NAS not enough... my current NAS is 7 years old, 1TB and cost almost as much as this 8TB. why overspec?

 Armed police handcuff teen after AI mistakes crisp packet for gun in US

A US teenager was handcuffed by armed police after an artificial intelligence (AI) system mistakenly said he was carrying a gun - when really he was holding a packet of crisps.

"Police showed up, like eight cop cars, and then they all came out with guns pointed at me talking about getting on the ground," 16-year-old Baltimore pupil Taki Allen told local outlet WMAR-2 News.
