This keyboard is going to take a lot to get used to it though, it has loads of extra keys that I keep hitting when trying to use shift :D Time to install everything, it's going to be so awesome, dual monitors with 22" and 17", G5 mouse and G15 keyboard :D £200 ($300) well spent.

Got my laptop for Christmas (which I'm still getting used to) so a lot of today will be spent transfering everything over. Then moving my old computer downstairs and wiping it because my mother wants it for her Uni shit.

Oh, and I've gotta go to the bank today because I fucked up my card on Saturday night. Stood at ATM's entering wrong pin number after wrong pin number. In the end it just refused me access all together and said to contact Abbey.

Dude! The stick that I have in my computer goes for about $25-30 now (it cost something like $50 or something after I got a $100 rebate!). I guess it depends on the chipset and if you get refurbished memory? lol

Haha yea. What time of the year did you buy it? I'm assuming around this time? Christmas? It also depends on where you got it? I'm surprised a small shop would have it for so cheap, I though they would hike up the prices for a bigger profit margin?

Thats why I waited untill I went to canada to upgrade my RAM a few years ago, because it was almost half price over their. Now its about the same as here.

Recently = A few weeks ago. But its the other way around the small computer shops are always good for deals / sales and cheap parts. The big stores like PC World herehave sales but their prices are so inflated that say for example for the price of a laptop on sale in PC World around £350-400 I can build 2 decent Desktop PCs (if you get cheap £50 CRT moniters) but their you go.

Wee shops FTW

Ok, I just have a question for everyone. Lately I have been speaking with Afro-Ninja (Speak to him for yourself..) about possibly creating A CSS:Main.

The reason why I bring this up is not just because its not a REAL programming language to such types as PHP or C++, but that it is one type of skill that is not very much described in any tutorial online. I come asking you, the people of newgrounds, if this could be something maybe to consider.

Lately there have been many threads purely on CSS Scripting, basically on the same type of thing. But Im guessing that if we had 1 main thread where all questions could be summed up in some good educational/descriptive tutorials, than maybe some spam threads may be taken away because one thread could sum it all.

If anyone maybe has any suggestions or comments, please either post, or give me/Afro-Ninja a pm.

Thanks Newgrounds!

Response to Programming Regs Lounge 2008-12-31 13:53:48


How much CSS tutorials can you make?, there is just not enough content to make a CSS main with.

1. It's completely unnecessary, like DearonElensar has already stated.
2. You aren't qualified to do it, and it'll just get filled up with poor tutorials by you teaching people the incorrect ways to go about things. That doesn't actually help anyone.

In summary: CSS is fairly simple. Someone can learn it just by picking up a book at the bookstore, or looking at a starting guide like W3schools offers.

Ok. It was just a suggestion. Thanks for clearing some stuff up.

No for the same reason there isn't a HTML: Main

Happy New Year everyone. Not sure if my plans are changing yet but as of now I'm still going to brave the cold and strong wind and icy/sloppy roads to go to a party. Anyone else going out tonight?

Nah, staying home as usual. Happy New Year everybody!

Lol, nice. 20 more days until the US is screwed?

I dunno. I wish Obama the best, and I hope he's a decent leader.

My god, that concert was epic. Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band was one of the opening acts...I'd suggest everyone look them up. They rock.

Oh, and Flogging Molly. They rock too.
