Stevi’s site is basically done :D
This was super fun to make. The photos aren’t all Stevi’s yet – she’s setting it up and uploading as I’m posting this.

GoDaddy Nameserver propagation taking over 24 hours.
This is my last straw with GoDaddy. There are cheaper services, but I used their’s out of convenience. Taking more than 4 hours to propagate a .com domain is totally unacceptable. I thought it was because it was first set up on the weekend, and weekends are always slower for GoDaddy, but the nameservers still have not propagated and it’s Monday.
I won’t be using them anymore nor will I tell my customers its okay to use GoDaddy. I’ve never had a domain take longer than 4 hours to propagate (even through my unfortunate ISP.)

Facebook “Like” Button HTML Generator – to use on your website or blog.
If you’re here already, I’m sure you’ve noticed I’ve added “Like” buttons above and below all my posts. There are wordpress plug-ins that do this, but I prefer to get down and dirty and add the code to the template files. Click here for the generator. You can use it with any CMS or a custom website.For wordpress, put this in the URL area:
<?php echo urlencode(get_permalink($post->ID)); ?>Say thanks if this link helped you. :)

Let’s all hope Stevi doesn’t kill me.
It’s been taking me forever to do her website. I’m gonna hustle and try to get it done sooooooooon. In the meantime, here’s a preview.

Dynamic Adjusting Length Polling for Live Web Content
Dynamically Adjusting Length Polling (DALP) was invented by David Titarenco to improve the performance of websites with live content. Long polling and short polling both have drawbacks – Long polling can cause an older browser to time out and short polling can create a heavy load on the browser and server. DALP changes the length of each poll depending on browser activity to decrease over time while the user is idle and increase when the user is active. It also dynamically changes depending on browser, connection speed, and how the server is feeling. (See VICTOR)
DALP is currently exclusively used on Jumpino.com

Another Reason to Use Disqus on Your Blog
The openID movement is in full swing – and for good reason. It’s smart and saves time. It’s also great for start-ups like Jumpino. (we’re going to implement an OpenID type login on version 2.0) Basically – Users can sign in with their facebook or twitter accounts, instead of signing up all over again.
So what’s an easy way to use OpenID on your blog? Disqus! And I’m using it. Now, you can comment on my blog with your Facebook or Twitter account. I know, I still won’t get any comments, but a girl can dream…
Anywalnuts, I’ve wanted to use it on my blog for a long time, but all the cumbersome logos and links bugged me. I recently tried it out and discovered there’s a custom CSS area in your settings.
To hide all of the logos, I used this code there in the custom CSS section:
.dsq-brlink {display:none;}
.dsq-dc-logo {display:none !important;}
#dsq-content .dsq-login-button:first-child {display:none !important;}They could go around it, but they don’t seem to care about it for now. Enjoy this snippet of code for removing the Disqus logos while it lasts. Of course, the first-child pseudo class only works in certain browsers, but I’ll take what I can get. Plus, that one is the least offensive of the logos to me.
This is what it looks like now:
You can do alot more with that custom CSS including clean up the entire commenting area.PS. I installed it with the free wordpress plugin that’s available.

Part of me likes this.
Part of me doesn’t.
And yet another part of me needs to get to work on promoting Jumpino. And that didn’t count.

The cutest robot in the world is named VICTOR
Victor is an online robot that learns how to feel emotions from human interaction and response. This project is something me and my brother came up with and is near release. Here’s the current version of what VICTOR looks like.
I pretty much outdid myself here. Where’s my Nobel for web design? I’ll wait.

Yeah, I generally don’t care so much about a company’s politics, more about their service, and at this point GD’s service BLOWS.
