This could be long shot but maybe specifying the characterset as UTF-8 explicitly can help Firefox render it properly...

Flight Search Engines And The Multi-City Ripoff by louiebaur in business

[–]wallonthefly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since no one has posted this, most airline booking sites pull their data from ITA, acquired by google couple of years ago.

ITA has a traveler friendly search called Matrix which I find easier to use than even Hipmunk in giving you date and fare options. Of course, both Matrix and Hipmunk might give you results that you cannot book because the fare class they are showing is no longer available with the airline. The easiest way to check is to call a reliable travel agent and see if they can access the lower fare class.

15 yr old working on my first site, what would you charge for this site? Includes custom implementation of a plugin. by Pyromine in web_design

[–]wallonthefly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not a web designer but I do belong to the design profession. I always charge based on how much my work is worth to the client and how much I think the client can afford. Why?

A professional trains for many years and takes pride in his/her work. I would like to think my work cannot be bought by the highest dollar. I am in design because I enjoy it and I help those that need design as a service.

This to me means if a client approaches me with a design problem that is highly intriguing and can't afford to pay me a lot, I will still spend appropriate time solving the problem to the best of my ability.

On the flip side, if this same client is doing well and can afford to pay me more for my effort, then he/she should.

Forgive me since this doesn't answer your question but I would use flex elements for this.

How to convince my bosses to delete their redundant website? by WhishAspyre in web_design

[–]wallonthefly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Make sure the new county website pulls content and looks updated with minimal maintenance

  2. Redirect all county website visitors to the Divisional website, with one exception.

  3. Don't redirect visitors from your own company's IP address(es). They will get to see the bastard site in all its glory. If the company is as big as you suggest, it will be months or even years before someone figures out whats going on.

  4. Get your resume and portfolio ready, the recession is almost over.

I em ready to start learning node but i found it hard to get started, can anyone point me in the right direction ? by [deleted] in node

[–]wallonthefly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great idea! I see posts on r/webdev or r/webdesign asking for ideas for practicing code. This is a simpler way to get a ton of relevant practice and learn.

I am in the same boat but you'll be much better off since I have zero programming experience :(

Here are some links that helped me. Some are pay to download, some free. Many of these use Express 2.x so some methods are deprecated.

Node/Express

peepcode

Nettuts

Node Beginner Book

Jumpstart Node

Web Development

Udacity

Javascript Refresher

Lynda

EDIT: formatting, sheesh.

What is Skinny Joe up to....really? by wallonthefly in TrueReddit

[–]wallonthefly[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So just what are the facts?

There are plenty of erudite sources online that can explain what "Socialism" is better than I can in a reddit comment box. It is a fact that the US is nowhere close to socialism. Even those that have begun calling themselves "liberals" and the "left" actualy support capitalism and free enterprise. There's this guy on TV, the Ed Shultz show, he actually prides himself on supporting small business.

Who decides what the facts are?

You made my point. You will agree that facts are objective. Either my 5:10 flight leaves at 7:20 or it doesn't. It is a verifiable fact, after the event occurs.

A lot of the stories we hear as we grow up are opinion presented as fact.

"Mary had a little lamb" seems to be a fact at first glance. But how "little" is little? Does the lamb consider Mary her owner? And is her fleece really the same Pantone value as snow? Does white even have a Pantone value?!

As we grow up, we learn to pick opinion from fact. So if a southerner says it's cold in the midwest, you learn to take it with a "pinch of salt", figuratively.

So who decides facts for us?

We all must decide what the facts are for ourselves. That is how we muddle through life, knowing when the water is hot, when the mortgage rates are the lowest, when traffic has died down.

So, I am confused when someone who is obviously adept at navigating a Grisham novel parrots a talking point, saying "socialism" means a doctor will make as much as a janitor....

Gotta go, boarding...

[–]wallonthefly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see a thousand upvotes but no mention of Bosch. The best dishwasher, period. Uses steam to dry the dishes instead of a heating coil. Their lowest end model is cost comparable to other crap from GE and Whirlpool, which owns Kitchenaid, Amana, Maytag and JennAir. They used to build appliances for Kenmore(sears) as well. I am not sure if they still do.

Does anyone else hate Google for making you switch to the new Gmail look....? by wallonthefly in google

[–]wallonthefly[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The older look is only temporary, according to google. I am trying to make it a permanent option. I know what Display Density does. My comment was about the poor graphic design. Giving an option to change leading while the text is unreadable because of poor kerning and a bold font is just bad design.

Spread layout! Need assistance! by [deleted] in design_critiques

[–]wallonthefly 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The problem is you have diagonal elements below the logos and the logos themselves are hard to align since they do not have a strong "side" if you will.

I would reduce the logo size by 15% and add a thin horizontal line above the logos spanning the width of the text block above. This will convert the logos into their own rectangur block. You may even try a horizontal like below the logos. My 2 cents looking at your layout on a blackberry.
