Version 5.0 to Version 5.1 – Feedback & Changes
Version 5.0 (Feedback)
I have received a lot of feedback from friends, clients, and total strangers about Version 5.0. The majority of the comments were somewhere along these lines:
You made this! Oh my cheddar cheese!!! The animation is beautiful, the graphics are to die for, and the way you have organized everything is brilliant. I look at this website and it seems to reflect your ever-growing dedication, knowledge, and creativity. – A former client
I have received some criticism and negative feedback:
Your portfolio projects are a little bit slippery, I didn’t know quite what to do with them. I would also like to be able to monitor the progress of the project online. That way I don’t have to disturb you at 4am – Another client
Version 5.1 (What is New?)
So what will Version 5.1 have in store? Well, let us take a look here. Version 5.1 is mainly about fixing some of the small bugs that appeared and adding three main features
- Portfolio
- Tips and easier animation
- Pagination!
- Project Pages now have screenshot slideshows
- Video tours will be added to the corresponding projects recorded with Screenr
- Some projects have been relocated so that you don’t even have to leave the site to view them.
- Project Manager to help my current clients keep track of my progress
- Possible support for IE Keyboard Shortcuts
- Menu Items Nudge a bit when they are triggered by the keyboard shortcuts just to let you know
- Possible HDTV Support
Longing for Something
Real Dreams
For the past 4 late-nights, I have worked about 16 hours total of straight jQuery coding on the NHD website. As a result, my dreams somehow have transformed from the Hollywood cinemas to simply me coding the website. My wrists are hurting and my brain is throbbing. I am learning how to make a lot of the animation and functions myself. The result is turning out to be very pretty. I am actually quite impressed with the site and hope to finish it by this Monday.

I need of zzz’s
Today was a very, actually, extremely tough day. From the get go I was working on the NHD website, trying to figure out how to make a rotating, random slideshow with various effects. Then I forgot to bring the flash drive with my STS homework to class (it was sitting on my desk at home). I did both Math homework and read a 45 page packet on MLA in less than 45 minutes. Now, I have to continue to work on the NHD website and finish the other homework. I would love to stay and blog some more, but I am completely worn out and my brain hurts.
Work? Maybe…
Last night I sent in my site to the 14 Days of jQuery contest sponsored by Media Temple. I checked today and was not today’s winner, but, I still have a chance to win the grand prize. Very exciting. Today, I also am going to go to court to receive my official driver’s license.
I worked on the NHD website today. Embedding a video and making small design changes.
Version 5.0: The Story [Part 1 "Layout & Idea"]
Well, finally, I made it to Thursday, January 21st, 2010 7:00pm and successfully uploaded my new website.
Really, it all started with trying to create a new Desktop Calendar for the Monthly Smashing Magazine Desktop Calendar Wallpaper contest. Then I accidentally added a draft of my submission into an html document (weird how those things happen eh?) and it looked beautiful.

Countdown to Version 5.0: 1 Day Till Launch
Finally, it has arrived… Everything is in working order… The press statements are ready to launch and I am happy to announce, actually quite excited to announce that I was accepted into both Lynchburg College and Virginia Wesleyan College!
Countdown to Version 5.0: 2 Days Till Launch
I am literally shaking right now. I am about to take probably the worst exam of my life in about an hour and a half. I am still checking the website to make sure everything is good. Downloading YSlow when I get home from my possibly, but most likely wicked, STS Exam to make sure everything is up to speed. I also started working on a masterpiece I wrote called The Days of Yore, a 34 minute long song that takes you on the adventure of a call girl and dilusional man.
After I arrived home from my exam, I contemplated, for probably the 400th time, installing a wordpress onto my site. I decided against it because the idea simply doesn’t fit. Instead, I decided to link it to my already existing wordpress. Tomorrow I have a meeting with Mr. Wolff, who wants me to do some work with him for a company called Defiant Creative.
Countdown to Version 5.0: 3 Days Till Launch
Four days left till launch, I am getting really nervous. Even though the preloader seems to be working, I am nervous that it won’t work. Though, I can’t do anything about it because I am down at Methodist University, taking a tour. Talked with Dr. Chan, the computer science professor there. I now know that I will have trouble deciding where to go. (EVERYTHING LOOKS SO GOOD!). From Dr. Chan, it was best told that I apply for a CIT program, Computer Information Technology instead of pure Computer Science. I agree, Computer Science is basically just crazy math while Computer Information Technology is scripting, business, and communication. Which will help me more since I would like to focus on the web side of the computers.
Confused?
If you are, don't worry, this blog is directed towards website designers.
