Hey, I'm Tessa. I'm an actress for a website that just released itself online last week. The design is still at times kinda funky (our programmers in Romania are working hard). I personally have a mac, and get funks in the system sometimes, but I wanted to see what others thought of the site. It's getting super better every single day.

I'll give a discription of the site, and then check it out on your own means if you'd like.



Online there's an interesting Masquerade that's happening. It's called the 'Venice Chronicles'. It takes place in Venice, in no real time frame. There's an entire lore that surrounds the Venice Chronicles as well, and real actors that help guide the story.


It's a Flash based system, that incorporates a AI called Valentina inside. You can use the site to do regular chat, voice chat, and video chat. If you go into the "VIP clubs" you can have up to 5 people Video Chatting. Also it has an ability to do anonymous text messages, and phone calls through a system called JahJa.

Best way to describe it is a SubCulture - Social Network - RPG - with a romantic twist (Venice without a Romantic Twist wouldn't be Venice).

( Look Behind the Cut for Pictures and more!Collapse )

But the easiest way to experience the Venice Chronicles is to check it out yourself. VeniceChronicles.com. Hope to see you guys there!

Hi everyone!
I'm new here,  but expect to come back soon enough with real insight and input.  In the meantime, I'm working on a tech report (whoever said going back to college would be easy needs to be shot on sight) and could use your help.

I've developed a questionnaire for web designers/developers and would love your input.  It will be used for a feasibility report that will analyze and recommend a core set of web languages for training and hiring employees of, say, a small webdesign company.  I am willing to forward to anyone the completed report if requested and am also willing to provide copies of other assignments that have been part of this report.  After all, I look at unsolicited surveys like this with quite a bit of skepticism and usually want some background.

If you frequent other webdesign forums/communities, please excuse the likelihood of verbatim cross posting, as I am desperately in need of responses (I need quantifiable results within two weeks, yikes!) and don't much have the time to rewrite an introduction six times.

If you have additional input beyond what I'm asking in the survey, please feel free to give your opinions.  Thanks in advance for your time and help.

Hi there,

I got a request for a certain style of font that looks like this:



Any suggestions? I'm stuck! I've searched AcidFonts, Google... the normal places and it's just a no go...

Thanks!

I have, for all these years, been using an archiving system for my PSD files that is really terrible. I am sure there is a better way. I am not impressed with Version Cue at all. What I need is a seamless and quick way to organize files and back them up daily.

How do you all out there organize and back up your files when working on large projects with multiple designs and different document types?

Hey guys,

I'm an amateur as far as web design goes, so I play with stuff but I don't know too much about how to deal with certain codes. So here goes my question:
How do I password-protect a single page hosted by Freewebs.com?

I can give more details if you need. Just let me know.

Thanks in advance.

I'm thinking that it might be time for a new pc so I can work with Photoshop CS2 and not have these "pauses". What I mean is, PS's windows will go white and then the info in the window will appear. I thought it might be a redrawing problem so I got a 128 meg video card. Then got a ram upgrade to 1 gb.

I'm running a 2.8ghz P4 with HyperThreading and XP SP2.

Thoughts on what to do? Suggestions on a new processor? The AMD/Intel processors make no sense to me anymore. Used to be look at the Ghz and know what's faster than a different processor but now with Core, Core Duo, 64, etc. I can't make heads or tales on what's what and I have tried to find a comparrison chart but have had little success with Google when I look.

Thanks,
Chris

p.s. Please, don't just say "Get a MAC". I've got a lot of programs and things for the Windows platform.

I'm interested in using a SSI call for my site's navigation system, and was curious if anybody could give me a few pointers on how to do this.

Most SSI that I've used has been a random HTML script line-call, so I'm a little uncertain how to proceed with setting up a file that can:

Have img src with imagemap attributes.

This SSI call will be implemented in normal HTML pages, Agoracart, PostNuke, and perhaps WordPress.

Advice is most appreciated.

Thank you.
