Going to finally finish updating my portfolio + CV tonight and apply for jobs in Auckland and Christchurch just for shits and gigs.
If anyone is looking for a senior designer who favours the corporate side of things rather than the boutique firms with experience working with multiple departments and figure heads, let me know.
You can work for me if you like? The pay isn't great. In fact, I can't pay you. And the work isn't the best. In fact, I have no work for you. But still, the offer remains open

I'd rather have herpes than anything from Microsoft.

What's a redundancy? And tbh, I'd rather havea drive at home in my computer. Amiright?

God.
Who gives a fuck.
Let's stop the charade that it is anything more than a weak excuse to get drunk.

The only bad part is that it's google. But I can look past that at this price.
I hear SkyDrive is a fantastic alternative /s

Make the introduction paragraph and the summary paragraph have a font-weight of bold I need the CSS syntax(is that the right word?) for thae above, using this - <!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="stylesheet.css"/>
<title>Ultimate Text Challenge</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>Introduction: Cascading with CSS</p>
<div>
<p>Synopsis: When you set a property of a selector like 'p' to a certain value, that value applies to <em>all</em> p tags.
If, however, you change that same property to a different value for a more specific instance of p,
that change will <em>override</em> the 'general rule'.
</p>
<ul>
<li><p>If you say p { font-family: Garamond}, all 'p's will have the font Garamond.</p></li>
<li><p>BUT if you say li p {font-family: Verdana}, 'p's outside of 'li's will be
in Garamond, and 'p's INSIDE 'li's will be in Verdana.
</p></li>
<li><p>The more specific your selectors are, the higher importance CSS gives to the styling you apply!</p></li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>Summary: Greater specificity makes CSS prioritize that particular styling.</p>

Anyone wanna help me out here? xoxo

FFS Swindle, you're a plumber not some kind of computer geek.
Only people like Spacemonkey make a decent living doing coding and stuff.
Stick to what you know, or become a drainlayer or something.
You're too fucking dumb to start computating.

It's still not working  i don't understand this > here. So why would you "div > p" and not just "div p"? It's selecting something inside something, right?

First real wall I've hit... I can't quite follow this... Remember, you can reach an element that is a child of another element like this:
div div p { /* Some CSS */ }
where in this case, we'd be grabbing any <p> that is nested somewhere inside a <div> that is nested somewhere inside another <div>. If you want to grab direct children—that is, an element that is directly nested inside another element, with no elements in between—you can use the > symbol, like so:
div > p { /* Some CSS */ }
This only grabs <p>s that are nested directly inside of <div>s; it won't grab any paragraphs that are, say, nested inside lists that are in turn nested inside <div>s.

/*Add your CSS below!*/
p {
font-family: Garamond;
}
body p {

}
ul li {
color: #000000;
}
li p {
text-decoration: underline;
color: #00000;
}
div p {
color: #7ac5cd;
}
...That CSS is all wrong, right? It's telling me to do this, Make all <p> tags have a font-family of Garamond. (Do NOT use the universal selector for this! There's a better way; see the Hint for help.)
Make the introduction paragraph and the summary paragraph have a font-weight of bold (this is a new property for you, but it works just like the others you've learned).
Make the synopsis paragraph have the color #7AC5CD.
Make the paragraphs in the unordered list have the color #000000 and text-decoration underline.
The error I get is Oops, try again. Did you remember to make the paragraphs inside <li> tags have color #000000;? But I thought li p {
text-decoration: underline;
color: #00000; Was that?

I am thoroughly enjoying it so far Just a little overwhelming when you think "Ah! I see how that works, got it", and then the next page it's like "Now do this and this and this"... And my brain is all "wait, what did i just do to do that?" Haha, I guess its all just repetition. I figure HTML/CSS is a good starting point.

Fucking jesus man. HTML and CSS.
Intense.
For someone who has never played with it/tried actually using it before. Pretty cool though how that all works.

get off your ass and get back on the tools . plumbers up here make a fucking fortune . highest paid of all the trades and even better if you are a gas fitter as well. im averaging about 65 hours a week as a builder and i have to deal with plumbers on a weekly basis . im surprised half them don't turn up on site in a Porsche .....
I always told welders pocket the most cash among the tradies.
It's the same as any other industry tbh. Know the right people, make the right money.

what's this backup thing you guys are talking about... surely you can just re-get everything.
I have 75TB of porn, and that would only take a few weeks to gather up.
Basically http://www.wd.com/en/products/network/networkstorage/Or a NAS, or whatever. Call it whatever. I call it destroyed in a fire, fucked in water and without RAID (most of the time) covering your ass. She ain't no enterprise drive neither.

Disagree, while the storage is easy to setup for access remotely via any non trash router, it doesn't in any way stump the cloud offered solutions in terms of data integrity.
If you're happy to leave stuff on there that isn't too important then sure it's great but it in no means replaces what the main benefits of large cloud based storage are, a very good backup method. Although if you have the ability to use both then I would.
Yes exactly. User can weigh their options, personally I'd take the disk drive and run.
Remote access is just so much... harder. And I know, it's not that hard, but it's not all that secure. Unless you're running some form of redundancy and have an amazing internet connection it's not really even close to what dropbox/drive can offer.

It would be safe to assume you are aware of the benefits of having storage that you can access from anywhere, using any phone or PC on servers that have multiple levels of redundancy?
I assume you know about the benefits of remote access?
What are you playing at son?

In all seriousness, when I started trying to learn C#, I stopped for a week (I'd probably only been learning for a week too) and my shit memory had forgotten most of what I'd learnt.
And so I gave up
But again, I've got to ask, is plumbing really that dangerous? Or were you just working in some serious industrial sites?
I had my teeth smashed out and a 200KG steel pipe dropped on my knee. Along with all the other accidents I saw happen. I used to work in commercial/industrial. Much more dangerous then residential. Also, the amount of 60 year olds that can hardly walk/breathe after years of the job taking its toll on your body, no thanks...

Just make sure you keep practicing / learning otherwise all your efforts will go down the drain.
FUCKIN' BAZINGAAAAAA. okay i'll stop.
Just going to set myself the challenge to finish every course they offer on the site, as a start.

Has anyone had any experance with codecademy.com?
Yep. Was pretty easy to follow.
Would recommend. Just don't know how far it can take you.
Just did the first lesson  I'm now a webmaster and can HTML in my sleep. Hire me - 6 figures and we can talk.

It's very cool.
First episode felt a little... thrown together? Or rushed? Not sure what but there seemed to be no central theme. I guess it was more of an introduction then anything else. Excited for the rest.

Going back to school a little older means you have a little more drive than the average punter. You know what you're there for and you tend to focus and work hard for it. Well thats what ive found anyway.
I can believe that. After seeing the way the world can treat a guy, my drive would be intense.
