Oh hey look at that !!, I'm in the site !!!, least my name is, cool man, really cool, ohhhhh and look again eheh, a little snippet of my work on the xmas amp, double cool

Great site, loved the rant on WA3, right with you there

Back to the day job

[ampburner]

thnx MJ, I'll put up the other colored versions also...it'll be up by the weekend. Also planning on putting in a skinning tutorial + links to NSDN and WSD, and some links to Raj's website, and Fli7e's, and Stephen Moss's (does he have one?) and...ya know.

[ampburner]

OMG I just noticed all these 1000's of typo's! Ohh well, they're just a part of my personality I guess...I never check my spelling...(liever lui dan moe), which reminds me of that spelling test...better get studying...No wait that would be a paradox, you can't study AND be lazy at the same time! Oh well, I guess I'll go sleep now. school can wait (right? ) ( )

[Jayn]

Very nice site ampburner! When we made WSD I had to go through and proofread all of Kimmo's things....I missed a bunch...hehe!

[pixelpusher]

Typos, I didn't see any typos. But then again I don't know how to read..
Hey, the site looks great. I'm using ie5.0 at 1024x768 true color. Only thing I would say is to go ahead and increase the size of your skin pics a bit. They were hard for me to see any real detail. But maybe it's just me. The page downloaded real fast with the pics on it. I'd say about 30 to 45 seconds total. Thats damn good.
Like I said. Looks great..

[ampburner]

thnx. Just getting started, needs a little finetuning. Oh btw did I mention the .com redirection service is FREE?

Tell me more Mr Amp, tell me more.........

Back to the day job

[ampburner]

Well, it's like this... a few months ago I registered ampburner.com at domainzero, and they didn't charge anything, xcept for the fact that you had to give them permission to spam you. So I registered an provided another false hotmail account, haven't heard from them since. But then a few months later when I was helping my little brother set up his own homepage, I remembered where to get a free .com redirection service...so I went back and found out that they had started charging money! so sorry folks...oh well, at least I'm not paying for it besides, if they decide to shut it down, I'' just register at cjb.net. those are nice adresses too

On another note, I updated the site again, posted different color versions of LP and a few skinning hints for newbies, fixed a few typos...btw anybody find the easteregg yet ?

[cappy17]

ampburner;

I can't get through, man. No connection to server, error 404... different things.

I tried this morning, about 7:00 AM PST, and just now, 2:00 PM PST.

I hate being left out. "Yep, that's Cappy: a day late and a dollar short. Last one to be picked, yep."

[iomegajaz]

The page cannot be displayed

Bummer.

[ampburner]

weird, works fine for me.
try this link

http://home.hetnet.nl/~fritsie123/frames.html

[Mr Jones]

Works everytime for me to, Say amp, didn't you do 3 versions of snipeamp?, oh and one bug for you, the liquid paradise screen where u have the four colour blobs for each version, u have the red one listed twice, if you click the grey blob it links to the red version.

Back to the day job

[cappy17]

thanks, amp.

The redirect seems to be working now, but I'm going to save the direct link just in case...

The site looks good. Bright, easy to follow, and quick enough to load on my 56K modem.

Couple of notes: the screen caps could be a bit larger, or have a link to a full size preview. The grey background behind your screencaps doesn't match the grey of the webpage.

Say, I didn't know you did Viet Amp! Well, see, you learn something new every day...

It doesn't? Yes it does. I'm not changing the sizr of the screencaps btw, they look fine to me, and I'm running 1280x1024

Oh, mr J, that's fixed.

[Mr Jones]

CONGRATS MR AMPBURNER LOL, you've matured into a major dude, accept my congrats on officialy spending to much time posting

Now take a little trip over HERE and take a well earned break

*glancing at jonesey post count "gulp not far off myself"*

Back to the day job

[ampburner]

hehe thnx Mister Jones. I do feel different btw, a lot more mature...

**/turning off the internet**

Back to the real world

[iomegajaz]

Yep, both URLs work fine here now too. Nice site, clean, easy, effective. Nice work.

[intaglio]

Hey,

Your site is good looking, fast loading, and well layed out. I checked out some of your skins. (I tend to think that the sXquizit thing is a coincidence, but a neat one.) I especially like your blue sniper skin. The first real skin is always special, isn't that true.. You are quite talented -- keep it up.

-Intaglio

[ampburner]

thnx ppl

[cappy17]

No they don't

Maybe it's just the way my browser sets the colors (is that possible?) Here's what I get:



The webpage background is an average 79 RGB, while the grey in the screencap is dithered, but averages 84 RGB.

I still like your site, though, and I would never argue with a Major Dude.


And thanks for the great link, Mr Jones. heh.

[ampburner]

I get THIS


cappy gets THIS


It seems the backrounds are the same, but When I load the page the background of the screencaps do not look dithered...just a little jpeg compression, but no dithering.
I don't know what's the deal here...ANY...ONE ?

[Mr Jones]

I get the following when using IE and Opera to view your page....


Not tried it with Nutscrape navigator so couldn't comment on that one

Back to the day job

[ampburner]

perhaps I should make the screencaps .gifs with transparent bg's?

[cappy17]

Hmm. I wonder how it would turn out if they were gifs, pngs, or bmps. Something other than jpgs. The only thing I can figure is that the differing softwares and/or video cards are uncompressing the jpeg algorithm differently.

Or, you not try to match the two backgrounds at all. Nah, that'd be the sissy way out...

Actualy, I never meant it to be a big deal. 98% of the people on the web would never notice, I'm sure.

[Zeruel]

I just got my own domain and server too. It's just much better.

Well, this is a very be-lated congrats. But there you go.
It looks real good. With that design, and your skills, you should have a "Hire me" section. I bet you could get some money. And who doesn't like getting money for doing what they love doin?

[Zeruel]

Do you get to make your own custom error pages? (like 404 pages)

They're fun.
Here's mine:

http://sephiroticum.net/anywrongurl

[ampburner]

nope...I don't actually own the domain...it's just a redirect to a free 22mb ISP server. Great 404 btw

[The Only Lynx]

where did you get the redirect if i may ask?

Ay!
Que malo.

[The Only Lynx]

thanx amp.. jammer..
i would have loved a free .com.. without the adds like at namezero.com

[ampburner]

too bad. Oh well you caould just get a .cjb.net for now...btw Zeruel, what do you pay for sephiroticum.net if I may ask

[wowsers]

hey ampbuner love the site the only thing i recommend is to put like an <hr> tage underneath the site sections in the same orange that is on the right or an image that spans 100% and is like 5 pixels high.

anyways cya

[Zeruel]

Sephiroticum.NET:

The domain:
$15 a year
(www.dotster.com)

(if you wanted URL forwarding, it's only $5 a year, with no adds)

The host server:
$20 a month
350 MB of space
(www.aplushosting.com)

Wow, cool...I'm a "major dude" now.
Hell yeah.

[flatmatt]

Cool site. Well, once stupid little me figured out that big "ampburner.com" on the intro page was a link. Only problem I can find: I'm not listed on the X-mas skin description. I listed everyone, look here: http://www.angelfire.com/mi/matthewpage/skinz

[edit]Dang, forgot how to do that embarassed smiley.[/edit]

[ampburner]

sorry flatmatt, I just listed some skin love regulars that came to mind...that doesn't mean I don't love you ;D....

but seriously, I'll have all the names posted before you can say "blah"
