Basically I've been thinking a lot lately about how things are always
getting smaller what with PDAs, Black Berries, i-Phones, etc. So I
thought it might be kind of neat to do some experiments in "mini"
graphical interfaces. I'm starting off by creating a 2/3rds scale of
the Windows XP main desktop and start menu. The goal is to find the
best methods of creating small scale interfaces that retain a high
degree of visual design (eye candy) whilst maintaining usability and
viewability. One of the hardest aspects is creating miniaturized
fonts, below the 8 point scale. The current sample I have up uses a
heavily modified 5 point font based on Tahoma. Anywho, neat stuff,
I'll post more examples as I develop them. I'm also doing a bunch of
experiments with Flash Lite and I hope to create a kind of website
primer to use for personal computing devices. The first step is to
find out all the browser viewing resolutions of all the major devices
and then to come up with a series of standards based upon those
resolutions, much in the way my current "portal" style website design
was designed around the lowest common denominator of 800x600 and my
newer designs use 1024x768 as their base resolution. And of course
I'll also be doing some experiments with creating perfect liquid sites
for personal computing products based on vector graphics and lanczos
resizing techniques optimized for reduction rather than enlargement
like my current models.

Anywho, that's what I'm working on (amongst various freelance website
design jobs). I see all the...lessers, are still obsessing over me.
LOL, they certainly are a pathetic breed, it's too bad they're going
to spend the rest of their drooling existence doing nothing but
allowing me to rent out their head space. ^__^

That'd solve the thing that bugs me the most about mini-computers/pdas.
They seem too 'cramped' on the screen. I hope what you're working on goes
well.

So I like what he's talking about. It's something that bugs me and I
wouldn't doubt that it bugs others. Oh you're talking about the 'obsessing'
paragraph. Figures you'd say something fuckheaded like that.

I'm sorry, but when did Daevy start paying you in butt secks to be his
lil personal online cheerleader? Were you just feeling sorry for him
cause he's off his meds or are you just desperate for some extra
Hatter attention?

amazing. moulton is still using that old pill popper lame. its just
like his "art": old, tired, and derivative.

and its pretty funny that matthew brags about all these big clients
and piles of money as youve pointed out, and yet he still seems to
need to work for walmart fulltime to support himself.

this leads to one of the following conclusions:
1) matthew is lying heinously about his web work, and is actually as
artistically talented and as well connected as the average turnip.
2) matthew is not lying, and is able to work fulltime for walmart, a
notorious low wage payer, as well as doing web work for big clients,
and raking in the dough from them. the question then becomes why is
matthew so ~incredibly~ stupid as to continue working for an employer
that is known around the world for shafting its employees monetarily
instead of taking that time and using it to build more high paying web
business?

so, as we all knew years before now, matthew is at ~least~ either a
liar or an idiot. with a high probability of both.

LOL, it's cute watching r-tards like you take off yer blinders of so

doesn't mean I really go away, nor does it mean that I stop posting,
creating and doing all sorts of other fun, neat things.

If only little Daevy hadn't been high on Xanax, relying on others to
fight his online battles for him, he would know all about my working
at Wal*Mart, WHY I choose to work for Wal*Mart (part time btw) and he
would have all his delusions about Wal*Mart as teh evul corporation
ripped soundly to shreds more than a dozen times over...BUT, he
chooses to live in ignorant stupidity...and hey, that's okay, no
reason why someone shouldn't be able to be stupid...although if they
ever do make it a crime I think forcing the guilty to cut off their
own heads with a chainsaw would be an appropriate punishment...but
that's just me. ^__^

all quite true.

my real problem with matthew, however, is ~not~ that hes a liar or an
idiot. those are quite common things. the reason ~i~ killfiled him
YEARS ago was because hes such a stupendously mind numbing ~bore~.

You know it's interesting how you keep doing that...referring to me as
"Farfoos"...that's something only a Webbie-tard would do. See kitten,
I never actively posted under that nyme in any of these froups and the
only places I use that nyme in are Webbie boards...so it's pretty
obvious that yer such a raving fuckin Hatter Addict that you actually
followed me here all the way from Webbie land. LOL...the only
question is...what's yer home turf, Cuppycake? Or you a PoE-fag?
Maybe a Special ED editor? SA goon? Or are you just from some
pathetic little nothing community that I ripped all apart and shit on
for fun? Do tell my little Hatter Addict. `, )
