Apart from Winamp 2.x and 3.x how many of you skin for other programs? I just downloaded Opera due to Jones' rantings about it and discovered it was partially skinnable. I'm not saying I will but I was looking through and it's not to complex to do.

Also, how many of you design web sites? How many can code HTMl and how many other web formats such as PHP, ASP, etc?

I skin Winamp (obviously) and dabble in web design. I know HTML fairly well (ie I could build a page in Notepad if I so wished). I'm thinking of learning a more interactive and powerful web language. What do you think I should learn, ASP, PHP, XMl, or something else?

BTW, Happy 200th post skinme! Have a vodka on me! :D

hmmm... OKAY!!!! :D:D:D Congratz btw :p

I've only skin winamp (yet?)

What was Liquid DFX then :p

:p....forgot that one :)
but it was winamp-ish....does that count?

I skin Winamp, MikroAMP, and I tried at Winamp3 at Alpha 2. I make pages, such as http://www.flatmatt.com (only HTML, though)

Pourquoi?
 

Why anyone wants to voluntarily get into ths scripting stuff is beyond me. I think computers should do the donkey work so you don't have to. Anyway, why not look at this Webmonkey article for a comparison?

I posted in the other thread but I don't want it to look like I only ever design for money. I didn't get payment for the Savalas job, just experience in Flash. The only other site I've done is my own, slightly neglected HTML effort which has my student and other work on it (more for print than screen though and Dreamweaver/Fireworks did a lot of the work:)).

Re: Pourquoi?
 

Skinning:

YerTV - 2 or 3 skins (and I did code 2.x until we died!) at skinz.org still I guess ;)
WinAMP - 6 skins, only one or two are still worth using. Others are too old skool.
ICQ - Had a go, couldn't be bothered
Wallpapers - Quite a few: http://www.skinmaster.co.uk/skinz

HTML - You're joking right :D
http://www.skinmaster.co.uk - and I did the GFX!
http://www.fuckingbrit.com - Did the logo, the rest is a standard theme from phpNuke for the design, the old site was all me.
http://www.shadesofgod.co.uk - Did everything except the logo
http://www.offyertits.com - closed to the public, but all me :D

Scripting: ASP, PHP, TCL, Vignette, VBS Um it's what I do for a living! Here's what I do in my time:

http://www.skinmaster.co.uk - All php stuff, mostly GNU code ported to my needs.
http://www.fuckingbrit.co.uk - PHPNuke on this version, my own ASP on the last
http://www.shadesofgod.co.uk - My PHP and phpBB (GNU)
http://www.snakenetmetalradio.com - All my ASP


So you can make really cool shit on your web site.

My tuppence worth:

ASP is easier to learn, less powerful, more expensive to get hosting for.

PHP is more powerful, harder to learn, cheaper to host, and you can get code to do most everything that you can adjust to your exact needs easily as most PHP apps are GNU (Free, with source code) check out http://www.hotscripts.com

tada.

okay..

skins skins everywhere...

winamp, dfx, mikro, tried netscape hated it, icq, yahoo messenger, wallpapers blah blah

web crap, html, dhtml, javascript usual load of old crap, starting with xml and php at the minute, yep that includes WA3 skinning :D

Skinned a couple of airplanes for the "x-plane" flight simulator... does that count?

also done some digital artwork, logo and icon design.

Happy 200th skinme!!! :)
Hmm..icons! skinning icons is quite nice,if you don't like win's defaults and aren't too lazy ;)
Winamp-why would I post here if not ?
Languages...html is easy,xml is the same principle as far as I know (WA3 is waiting) :D
Tried to learn Java Script but didn't get far...I didn't spend much time on it though...
The only real programming language i know is -guess what- the oldfashioned Pascal (school-anybody else, too?) :D

Skins... Only done three true skins that saw the light of day, with another five in partially completed or final photoshop draft form... Fluent in HTML and BASIC, with some to a fair amount of comprenenshion of Java, JavaScript and C++. Do lots of web designing, graphic designing, etc... I just haven't let much of my work out to be viewed by the masses. I never feel satisfied. :P Working on technique.

Thanks.... during my school holidays I'll have a look at PHP!

to anser the question
 

i'm busy with my first skin now, it is though, but allright..
i think PHP is best to learn, cause it's unix based(read:freeware)
Asp for instance only runs on the microsoft IIS server, but the web standarad server is apache.
and it's much easier to learn than CGI(perl)

Oh, yeah
 

and I can make a mean quiz in Q-BASIC! :D

I could make my name appear on the screen using Pascal and make it scroll using COMAL! If only I'd stuck in at my school programming. By now I could make my name appear in different colours!:)

Sorry if it seemed I was being disparaging about programming. Just understand I'm a designer first and a computer user second so I don't relish this stuff the way some of you do. If I had any aptitude for programming I'd probably love it too especially considering the money that can be made.

There's no escape from it though. After getting thoroughly sick of Macromedia Director and its twisted ways I get into Flash and find most of the cool stuff needs Actionscript to work.:( If only webmonkeys really existed I could get a mad interactive site going for the price of a bag of peanuts. (Anyone seen that Simpsons episode where Homer charges room service to the company and Mr Burns tries to send his 'flying' monkeys to get him? "Oh well back to the laboratory".:D Classic (I may be the only person who thinks this but hey).)

Ahhh... Q-BASIC

I remember the memories. My school has just (this year) upgraded the entire school network to Windows 98 (instead of 3.11) and even now has the Internet! :D As a result, DOS got ditched somewhere along the line. Along with Q-BASIC. That's what made me learn to socialise ;)

s**t I feel old.
 

First real programming I ever did wuz on a BRAND SPANKING NEW tandy trs80 computer. (yes, I remember when the trs80 first came out.) Funny thing is, I still have the computer and it still works. :D I oughta donate it to a museam somewhere.

Hey I almost forgot: I can program for a graphics pocket calculator from CASIO !!!! ;) (we used 'em in school)
Anyboy else too?
:D

lol.. those casios came 1 year after i left school.. hehe.. but my bros gf can do it..

they're really cool...esp. when you want legally! to use your schoolbook in an exam...lol

you can put games in it :D

as well ;) though they're quite primitive

but I'm pretty good at shooting games now ;)

nevertheless: the possibility of cheating is much better I think

heehee, I had a cool little proggy for my calculator that would get you around required memory wipes. You could run it, and make it appear that your memory was completly clear. I never used it, but I made a few bucks. :D

As far as stuff I've done, it's kind of dodgy. When I want to do something, I learn enough of it's respective code to get it done. Sometimes I do enough of one thing to get around pretty easily. Most of what I've done is game related.

Congrats skinme!!

he, that's funny! ;)
But what good is a program that makes it look as if the memory is clear but in reality you have only 2 bytes free?

Ahh! I see...cheating,right?

and texas
 

In holland, ew use the texas Ti83 graphic calculators..
You can program tetris and other games on the calculator , or on your pc..
and Q basic, there were a few free games with it too...

:) kewl, another Cheesehead :D:D:D

:p

!
 

i don't feel the need to be elected cause i'm just a bollock with headache..

Re: !
 

And that means exactly what?:confused:

that i'm very good speaker english so fuck on with your question very stupid!

N.B. to answer yer question.. dunno, just for the hack of it

Oh I see :rolleyes:

Amp, translate something for him would you, I think you can probably guess what :)

Ok...here goes... :D
Cheesehead does NOT equal Dickhead. it means "Kaaskop" as in refering to the fact that you're Nederlands :D:D:D:D

I was hoping you might translate into Dutch for him what happens when he tells other forum members , in particular "me", to "fuck on with your question very stupid".

I'm sure you don't need me to spell it out :D

Ah...he seemed sincerely offended by the cheesehead remark, that's why I translated it LOL :p I don't think the word moderator needs to be translated though :)

But if you insist... moderator means something you don't want to mess with hehehe... in short I'd like to suggest PUIKradio Alternative #1 to pick on somebody his own size :) Other wise there could be trouble.... :D:D:D

See I thought it was my "what's that mean" comment, cos I couldn't see a link between him being an "elected bollock with a headache" and "cheeseheads".

Maybe he thought you said he had a cheesy head, offensive enuff in any language :D

Or perhaps ....nah, wouldn't want to start a flamewar now would I :D:D:D:D hehehe nevermind
