just a quick glance over it and the first thing that jumps out at me is that I was 1) bored, and 2) turned off by the interface.. dunno if it's the color scheme or the font, but something about it told me to leave.. also, it seems less professional than your old even more boring theme.. depends on what you're shooting for though.

bleh

here's a tip:
if you want your email address listed on the site in plain view, well, if you know PHP, base64 encode your email address, then find a javscript function for decoding base64, it's what I did for the techwarelabs about page

anyways, my site (http://uranium.paintbug.com/) is better :P

No... MY site (http://www.geocities.com/jasonunleashed) is better... not really.. it's juvenile and out of date, but oh well

well, being bored is to be expected because 1) nothing is ever up to your standards, and 2) its not done yet. just takin a jab at ya there, thanks for the feedback. but really, i'm curious about being turned off by the interface. do you mean the site colors in general? or just the navigation? yes, its less professional than my other one because this one is my personal site, the other one i was toying around with an idea that i have dropped now. and i'm shooting for clean almost stark, thats just the kind of design that i like.

hmm, i've already done some googleing. but could you point me to somthing explaining this base64 creature. yeah, i have a pretty good handle on PHP and JavaScript, but have much to learn. started out with ColdFusion i did, but falling in love with PHP.

thanks!

edit: good grief uranium, update your blog!

[Jason425]

oh, if it's a personal site, i'm gonna back off a bit then because it's about you... so my taste shouldn't be in it..

Maybe it's the lack of variety in the styling? I don't know.. it might just need more pictures or something... you're doing fine... and hey.. nothing being up to my standards makes me strive for something better! ;)

I can't seem to find it on google, so I'll post the one I found and slightly modified for our site


function getmail2(str, txt)
{
var result = "";
var i = 0;
var x;
var shiftreg = 0;
var count = -1;
var is_binary = false;
var email = "";

for (i=0; i < str.length; i++) {
c = str.charAt(i);
if ('A' <= c && c <= 'Z')
x = str.charCodeAt(i) - 65;
else if ('a' <= c && c <= 'z')
x = str.charCodeAt(i) - 97 + 26;
else if ('0' <= c && c <= '9')
x = str.charCodeAt(i) - 48 + 52;
else if (c == '+')
x = 62;
else if (c == '/')
x = 63;
else
continue;

count++;

switch (count % 4)
{
case 0:
shiftreg = x;
continue;
case 1:
v = (shiftreg<<2) | (x >> 4);
shiftreg = x & 0x0F;
break;
case 2:
v = (shiftreg<<4) | (x >> 2);
shiftreg = x & 0x03;
break;
case 3:
v = (shiftreg<<6) | (x >> 0);
shiftreg = x & 0x00;
break;
}

if (!is_binary && (v < 32 || v > 126) && (v != 0x0d) && (v != 0x0a))
{
result = result + "<";
result = result + "0123456789ABCDEF".charAt((v/16)&0x0F);
result = result + "0123456789ABCDEF".charAt((v/1)&0x0F);
result = result + ">";
}
else
result = result + String.fromCharCode(v);

}
email = result.toString();
document.write("<a href=\"mailto:" + email + "\">" + txt + "</a>");

}


you take that, you can just put it in your page or make a sepearte .js file and include that

then all you do is:

<script>getmail2('<?php print(base64_encode("youremail@theserver.net")); ?>', 'My Email Address'); </script>

yeah, i had already found how to use php to encode it, but needed the javascript to decode it.

thanks alot uranium.

Hey not bad for a first time website. It'll grow on you, don't worry. Overtime you'll get more ideas and better programming knowlege to make the site kick Uranium's ass, heh. Just messing U-man...

[xMerCLorDx]

my complaint is that it's kinda slow. otherwise the only other thing really is that it needs to be completed, and the menu table kind of bugs me. the gray background of the menu area doesn't seem to fit the buttons that exist there.

the swirly thing looks kinda yummy as a hard candy or somesuch.

oh, heres my site, crits also welcome :)

(if you're unfortunate enough to use IE, i have no excuses for the looks of my css'd site.)

um, dude, i've been working in web design since 2000, and before then anyway. not a first time website.

yeah, its on my server at home. its running slow cause its behind an old hub, and right now i'm dloading a large torrent, and due to the fact that its a home connection. and i'm glad you like the hard candy logo thingy. nice site by the way, i dig that minimalist design.
