Rinsefirst

As many of you know, I have Animal Crosing WW for the DS. I have decided that starting monday for a week, I\’m going to open my town to the public, non stop. To visit though, you must have my friend code, and I must have yours. I\’ll start by giving you mine:

Code: 4037-8861-7970

Name: Justin

Town: JR Corps

To gain access to JR come monday, all you must do is post your same information right here on Rinsefirst. From there, you can then visit my town by using the town gate. I currently have apples, oranges, pears, and coconuts. Feel free to visit starting monday!

Welcome back to work is what the world had to tell me today. Everyone was calling. Everyone needed something. Tomorrow is booked solid from 8am to 8pm. Thursday is pretty tight, but better. Friday night is already gone as well. Crazy is the word for it. My list is also a mile long, and that\’s things that are outside my schedule but need to get done when I can find the time.

That said, I\’m pretty stressed at the moment. I thought I should find some way to calm down, and what I did last night (the little coding lab) seem to provide me with some enjoyment so I thought I would do it again with something else. Who knows, this may become a pattern and then people can start coming to me asking me \"how would I do this\" and I can then take the time to figure it out and have it happen.

Until then, I wanna stick to CSS/JS design tricks.

Today\’s lab demo is how to make a DIV that is the exact width and height of a window? I again knew it could be done, it\’s just not very often you see it. In fact, designing a website that is ment to not scroll is rarely done. What\’s even more rare, is someone who designs a website that scrolls, but doesn\’t have to. For example: all the content always shows up above the fold, but at the same time, there is content \"below the fold\" that never really needs to be seen. It\’s a strange concept, and one I kind of want to continue thinking about.

In either case, the demo can be found here:

So enjoy it… You can imagine where all this is going for rinsefirst can\’t ya

It has been awhile world.

Christmas has come and gone, and things are in the working all around because of it. The mac has already gotten way more hours of usage than one might have guessed. The Beast has returned to aid the mac. A switch has been ordered to make use of all the computers at once (yay).

DS games have been purchased (Animal Crossing) and played to no limit (more than 30 minutes probably every day since I got it.

Nintendo games have been purchased. I\’m pretty sure we hit 300.

Super Nintendo games have started to arrive. More than double my collection (but not to 100 yet).

My 21st Birthday has come and gone and prove quiet a few things to me that I somewhat doubted. If your wondering if I got \"drunk\" here\’s what I have to say:

I probably was over the legal limit if it came down to driving. I was to the point where I could still walk a straight line, and tell what was going on, but things were not quiet as percise as they probably should be.

I didn\’t have a hangover (at least not enough to make me puke, although I was pretty tired from being up til 4 am). I must admit though, I can see how alcohol can really mess you up.

It also turns out that I\’m a shhhh\’er when I\’m intoxicated. \"shhh\" can often be heard from me. Now that might just be because of the environment we were in and the fact that everyone else were rather loud drinkers. Who knows.

Let me put a disclaimer on this post because most of the people I know that read this are to young to drink. All I have to say: is it pays to wait until at least college, cause really, I can see how it can mess someone up…

Ok, that said, let\’s talk code.

Alex introduced me to a layout late last night that he tought was pretty dang cool. It had more JS and CSS than one could imagine, but overall, a very very cool site. It used JS to create columns based on the content of the website. It would be a very interesting techology to try to use on a blog if it could be done properly.

If you want to see my test example of the code visit Rinsefirst Labs:

Until next time…
