I agree with everything you're stating here, I just wish it was that easy in practice. Some of the problems with deliverables is managing client expectations, they expect or have gotten used to seeing output of a PSD that counts as &#x

Oh, the process (as normally done for the past decade) is completely broken. Thats one of the reasons that the groupthink behind "PSD to HTML is Dead" is important in spite of how hyperbolic the statement is. There is always an ad

I wish I could work with people with your mindset. Have you considered writing on the subject? There are so many people that could benefit from your experience.

This is one of the nice things about the occasional comp delivered in AI. Its so much easier to translate assets to the web that it confounds me why AI wasn't the standard from the beginning.

Yes, since there is an implicit agreement beforehand that the PSD should be converted to HTML/CSS. For example, if I missed a border on an element or margin spacing between text areas this would be something I would be expected to fix.

From my perspective a lot of it has to do with 'training' 'education' and employers. I've worked with several high end agencies and even if some of the designers know some HTML/CSS they have no idea how what

Using HTML and JS works great and provides exactly the same interaction you'd see on the final product. I think trying to do anything else (unless you're extremely good at video processing) is insane.

Just to belabor your well made point, here is an example of a final PSD I received from a 'professional agency': (from psdgrade.com) https://cloudup.com/c5RmHN8t1QZ https://cloudup.com/cmpmBEYg93c

Its amazing to me that the second announcement after the acquision is all about how Google won't be privvy to your data. Seems to me that Google has completely lost control of the narrative. A few years ago people would be talking abou

Any designer that knows what they are doing makes things easier to use, not more difficult. I think it would be better to say 'Amateurs have taken the reigns'.

This is what I see on Google: https://i.cloudup.com/7ymLpPBmma-3000x3000.png The first organic results don't even show up with the size of my window. The whole situation these days on the SERP for any purchasable item

In this situation its probably a matter of 'don't attribute to malice what you can attribute to stupidity'? OTOH - the mainstream media is not reporting on this at all. Doing a search for 'trans pacific partnership&#x27

Not only do the lobbyists and partners get to influence the negotiations, they are under a 4 year gag order from discussing it.

its hard for me to think of an answer to this question that doesn't somehow devolve into an area of 'conspiracy'-type BS. I really do not know.

Not when its coupled with things like Corporations being able to sue governments for 'loss of potential future profits' for policy decisions. That is incredibly dangerous.

My understanding is that the TPP is not public (yet?), and parties involved are not allowed to discuss it for 4 years. http://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2013/11/house-pushing-back-on...

Zappa referred to electronic music (of the day) as 'missing the eyebrows'. Its sort of the uncanny valley of electronic music.

Frank Zappa was doing something very similar with the Synclavier in the 80s ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synclavier ). He also has a piece called 'The Black Page' due to its density of notes on the page - ht

by wonderyak 13y ago
Yes, 'Solar' refers to our sun, Sol. So there is only one 'Solar' system which is our own. I think 'star system' is acceptable as well.

That might have been true a few years ago but it just isnt these days. Malware is being injected into ad networks on a semi-regular basis (I see Adblock as a defensive mechanism morese than something to get rid of ads). Sites also get hacke

I love SL and I was really hesitant to upgrade to Lion. When I did, it was weird but I got over it. Lion and ML feel so much faster.

Sounds like you've been using VPSs for a while. Do you have an opinion on the virtualization tech used for various hosts (xen, virtuozzo, etc).

Shared hosting is really bad in general. If you happen to be grouped up with people that are constantly hitting their resource limits and/or the box is oversold it can be even worse.

My least horrible experiences have all been with DreamHost as well. Our company did reseller hosting for about 5 years and went through all of the acquisition stuff Marco mentions. We had to exit SoftLayer because they were horrible, only t
