Half Life 2 skin for the Windows Media 9 Series (2003)

"Inside it holds your average media player essentials such as a folder to fetch your media, a playlist feature, seeking and volume functions, tuning and of course pausing and skipping. Surprisingly as a bonus this media player contains a section where you can access beta screenshots from Half-Life 2 from early level designs to concept renders. Here you can also find a link which brings you to the Half-Life website (here) and the Windows XP website as well (now defunct) (here). With videos you can change the brightness, hue, contrast and etc." - 9 Hour Work Day on Steam.

Note: I'm unsure if this works on Windows 11! I've read that it does, but I'm yet to try it myself.

I Found The Best Pro Graphic Designer on Fiverr.com!

Hey everyone! Welcome. Today, we’re diving into the world of graphic design on Fiverr. If you’re looking to hire a skilled designer for your next project, you’re in the right place. Finding the perfect graphic designer can make or break your project, and Fiverr is an awesome resource packed with talent!

Did you know there are over 1.5 million graphic designers on Fiverr? Yeah, that’s a HUGE number! With so many options, it can be a real challenge to find the right one for your project. So, how do you sift through all that talent without losing your mind? Stick around, and I’ll help you out!

Alright, let’s talk about the elephant in the room. When you start searching for a graphic designer on Fiverr, it can feel like you’ve opened a floodgate of options. I mean, with over a million designers, you might think, "Wow, I’m spoiled for choice!" But here’s the kicker—this overwhelming selection can make it tough to find someone who’s really good and fits your needs. You’ll often come across profiles that look amazing but might not deliver the quality you’re after. Plus, there’s a huge variety in styles and expertise, which can add to the confusion. Maybe you’ve seen a designer with a great portfolio, only to realize their client feedback is less than stellar. It’s like searching for a needle in a haystack, right? So how do you cut through the noise and find the best designer for your project? Let’s explore some strategies!

To start, you’ve got to consider a few key factors when evaluating potential Fiverr graphic designers. First off, take a good look at their portfolio. This is where you’ll get a sense of their style and capabilities. Are their past projects similar to what you have in mind? If you’re looking for a minimalist logo, but their portfolio is filled with vibrant, complex designs, it might not be the right fit. Next up, client feedback is crucial. Make sure to read through reviews and ratings. Look for comments that mention communication, deadlines, and overall satisfaction. This gives you insight into what it’s like to work with them. And speaking of communication, it’s super important! Reach out to potential designers and see how they respond. Are they quick to reply? Do they ask clarifying questions? Good communication can save you a lot of headaches down the line. Lastly, check if the designer offers any revisions. A great designer should be open to tweaking their work based on your feedback. This flexibility can make all the difference in achieving the final product you envision!

Now, here’s the golden nugget of wisdom: the best strategy to narrow down your choices is to create a shortlist of designers based on your specific project needs. Start by filtering your search results using Fiverr’s built-in tools. Look for designers whose style resonates with your vision and who have positive reviews. Once you have a shortlist, reach out to each of them with a clear brief of your project. This not only helps you gauge their professionalism but also gives you a feel for their understanding of your needs. Ask them about their process and any ideas they might have for your project. This step is super important because it helps you see who truly gets what you’re looking for. By engaging with them, you can easily figure out who aligns best with your project goals!

Alright, let’s wrap this up! Today, we talked about the challenges of finding the right graphic designer on Fiverr, and I shared some key tips to help you out. Remember to focus on portfolio reviews, client feedback, and communication skills. And don’t forget to create a shortlist and engage with potential designers to find that perfect match for your project! So, what do you think?

Pins for programmers, geeks, and compsci nerds

You Had Me At Hello World

"Hello World" is a really old tradition, by tech standards--the Jargon File dates it back to the classic C/Unix days. It's the first test message you print to standard output when you're learning a new programming language.

These days, you might also throw a "Hello World" in a <p> element real quick when you're checking whether your new website's DNS has propagated or your WordPress install is displaying posts cleanly. Maybe it's even what you write in a sample doc when you want to make sure your printer's hooked up right. Basically, it's the minimalist Lorem Ipsum of the programmer world.

And now it's a pin. For fashion. Geeky, geeky fashion.

Progress Incremented

The ++ symbol (aka the incrementor) is often used to express approval or "good job!" in coding circles. Get this pin to celebrate your progress.

Magic / More Magic

The Magic / More Magic Switch is a reference to a piece of obscure old-school hacker lore. Some geek long ago (in the PDP-10 era!) managed to make a switch that, in theory, really shouldn't have been able to do anything, but because of a fluke of electrical engineering it'd crash the computer if you flipped it from "more magic" to just "magic."

Fortunately, the switch on the pin will stay on "more magic" forever, because that's how it's drawn. An excellent good-luck charm for your favorite computer engineer.

Inadvisably Applied JS

JavaScript (derogatory) -- but that doesn't mean we'll stop reaching for it to do... probably too much, from little bits of swoopy animations on a website's front end to whatever random thing you need to hack together with a scripting language real quick.

The design is very human. Is it scalable? No. Is it maintainable? No. Is it portable? ...Not really. But at least the pin is! Get it here.
