That’s the claim of the Facebook group I just joined. Yes, I’m finally jumping on the community site bandwagon. Up ‘till now my mode of operation was to create an account then not touch the thing for months or years. However, my career and my friends demand I do it. So I did. In fact I just hacked a more tasteful MySpace thanks to Mike Davidson.

After transferring my website to a new host I’ve had nothing but problems. At first the problems only appeared to be superficial, such as EE’s admin style sheet not loading up. Later I discovered caching issues that prevented pages from being updated using the admin interface. Now, most recently, it seems like the database has become corrupt and is mixing web pages together at random. Unfortunately I’m drowning in work and have not time to address these issues. Perhaps it’s time to move my site to a new new host.

Cameron Moll, an iconic web designer and author of several superb design series has begun another, ”Extensible CSS Interface.” I encourage anyone with interest, professional or not, to peruse his resources because they are strong. Of particular interest to me is a question he posted on his blog, Authentic Boredom, which asks, ”Designer, Coder: Separate roles or one?”

After months of work these three giants in the artisan confection industry, Scharffen Berger, Joseph Schmidt, and Dagoba, have their own branded websites with linked ecommerce.

A new company in downtown Portland just hired me to be their CSS specialist. Their name is Virso, which stands for VIRtual Something or Other, and they call themselves a creative solutions company. I’m feeling very excited about this opportunity because it’s exactly what I’ve been looking for. I’ll not only be an important asset to the company, I’ll also have a lot of input into its growth and future success.

Great blog but lack of update. hello webmaster, where are you?
I found your site through Google and the looks is awesome. However, I’ll suggest you come back and update more often. 1-2 month per post is not good enough. Keep it up.
Hi Nottingham, the fade effects are done with jQuery, a javascript framework. The specific plugin is called “fade anything” and you can find it here: http://plugins.jquery.com/project/fade. If jQuery and handwriting javascript aren’t your thing there are other frameworks out there like prototype and mootools. It’s best to experiment and find out what suits you best.
I like the hover over fade in effects, how did you achieve that? They are really smooth but do not use flash?
Love the new site design. I’m looking forward to seeing what you do in the future.

nicknic is my workplace.
I am a Deviant. My multiple digital personalities are MySpace, Facebook, and Virb. My habits are carefully monitored and recorded at Last.FM and Twitter. Beautiful Katamari is a game where you roll stuff, see how I roll with my XBox360. I like to work with Nick Koby at nicknic.com.
This website was lovingly crafted with xHTML, CSS, Javascript via jQuery and a smattering of PHP. All combined and powered with the mighty ExpressionEngine. I built this site on Windows XP using Fireworks, Dreamweaver, and Photoshop as my tools of mayhem.
