now is a fucking excellent time to be a photographer and whore out your shit on these types of social media sites. it seems people prefer this type of web experience than reading as far as entertainment goes.

Discount for vBulletin board?

Anybody know where to get standard Vbulletin for a lesser price?

Or maybe other software comparable to vbulletin for a lesser price?

Buy a license from someone who is trying to sell theirs.. But you won’t save much. I had the license for 2-3 years, only lost $40~. But seriously, what is it now a days? Wasn’t it like $160, that’s not that much, vBulletin is worth every penny. Or you know.. Just go pirate it like an idiot, and use it till they catch you, or until you know either your site will be a failure or success. Then upgrade. I don’t know why people make sites they don’t intend to work on long term..

HALP! I need a website made

First off, it’s for a local band. I already have the domain, hosting and email set up. I need a website designed; I don’t know what the hell I’m doing and they have some pretty lofty ideas outside of my ridiculously limited "ability". I don’t know if you guys are willing to help out because they’re "starving artists" and so they can’t pay much if at all. I don’t know if someone is just looking to expand their portfolio and willing to do it for free… maybe that’s way too much to ask, but if you can PM me and let me know if you can help, it’d be incredibly appreciated.

Give me some feedback on my new site

I don’t mind if you rip me to shreds, I’ve only been doing web design for a little over a year and my clients have always been satisfied. If you are gonna be a dick at least be specific on what I should consider changing.

Thanks!

it’s fine, I can’t really put my finger on it but something there doesn’t sit right with me. Maybe all the green?

personally I’m not sure people know what dev means, at least some of my clients wouldn’t, they have trouble putting jpegs together for me to use on their sites, but that’s just your choice

Hostgator estimated wait times are very specific

Certainly wouldn’t want any confusion by having me think I may have to wait for 1.219512195123 minutes

+/- 0.000951219512 min. error due to connection delay.

their livechat is useless

"How may i assist you today"

"Please wait a moment while i look into this matter"

"I apologize for the inconvenience, I’m still looking into this matter"

"Ok i have gone ahead and created a ticket and escalated this priority"

Any way to learn magento better

Jesus this is so different then wordpress.

you say it like it’s a bad thing. wordpress is a fucking abomination.

start here:

magneto is fantastic but it is a fucking convoluted mess and uses at least 100 resources. fuck zend framework. owell. i still use magneto for projects bcuz there are no sufficient alternatives. 1 cool thing is that there’s multiple ways to accomplish the same tasks. like for certain theme things u can either use xml or do it programmatically. i dig that quite a bit. once u wrap ur head around it, magnet is super powerful.
