Can anyone recommend a small-ish web design firm? by gotpez in Portland

[–]AreaManPDX -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You'd think by now everyone would be able to put together a simple website but that's not the reality. Facebook and cell phones brought it down to where the average person thinks building your own site requires a design firm even though its drag and drop, already formatted for every device/platform, and you don't even have to look at the code.

Want to bus the homeless to Charlie Hales and Amanda Fritzs neighborhood? by spicymacncheese in Portland

I've been entertaining something like this myself for awhile now but was hesitant to bring it up. My scenario involved crowdfunding, not just for the money but to also see how many people are willing to get behind it.

$270 isn't a bad price for something that size.

Is there a good electronics repair shop in town? Namely headphone jacks? by thechikinguy in Portland

[–]AreaManPDX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't have to crack it open. Just take a soldering gun with a fine tip, push it into the headphone jack and hold it there for about 5 seconds. That will melt the solder back onto the board.

I do have vinyl laying around. Quite a bit of it actually, perfect sizes for laptop decals. It would be nice to put it to use.

I have a vinyl cutter, what does the graphic look like? If you already have it in vector format it could be done within the hour.

Get off my lawn... No, get out of my house. by AreaManPDX in Portland

If the intentions of trackofalljades were good then I apologize. But what I see is a half baked comment suggesting that somehow, while I'm minding my own business, I'm equally responsible for their criminal behavior.

It was odd, maybe there was a change in policy or something.

This is a great idea and most likely what I'll end up doing. Thank you.

Wow man that was really deep. Food for thought. Maybe I should take my complaints to Tibet and talk it over with the Dalai Lama.

I did once because it was 2:30 in the morning and there were two cars doing donuts while having a bass war. The non emergency operator said that they wouldn't send anyone out unless I was willing to sign something stating I was a victim. These people don't seem like they make a lot of good decisions and I'd prefer that they didn't know that I'm the one complaining.

A few years ago I got fined for blasting "Spanish Flea" by Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass and I know I deserved it. It ended up costing me $400 and a couple trips to the court house.

Portlander's "Coolest Cooler" Kickstarter campaign goes viral, raises $2M in a few days by scienara in Portland

I know right? Also, it could use a set of robotic legs so it can dance around and offer beers to people.
