Almost but not quite

Why is it so difficult to graph a timeline? I always end up with something hideous like this. There has got to be a prettier way.

On Modal Alerts

I like asking you guys for input, it saves a lot of development time :D
SO. How about this? RPG-style modal alerts!

(I’d make them prettier, I promise)
Instead of a boring, lame-o modal alert “Are you sure you want to delete this?” you get this fun RPG styled alert box. And then I can [...]

Piles and Piles of Art

I can’t wait for Art Piles to go live.
There are so many wonderful ideas in this project. New interfaces, ways to sustain the community, privacy…
Okay! :DDD! I can’t help myself! I love solving difficult community problems through interface–it gives me the biggest design hard-on ever. Like, just before FAP closed, [...]

Eyetracking points the way to better design

When photos do contain people related to the task at hand, or the content users are exploring, they do get fixations. However, gender makes a distinct difference on what parts of the photo are stared at the longest. Take a look at the hotspot below.
Although both men and women look at the image of George [...]

Colour by Complex Math

The hotlinked error images are now mathemagically coloured with random, complimenting or high contrasting tints.
I was busy geeking around with the graphics processing powers of PHP…when I became suddenly inspired and discovered a solution to a very difficult colour processing problem I had been having!
One of the new features I’ve been working on for FAP2 [...]

Preventing Hotlinking, the sexy way

Recently, a lot of FAP’s bandwidth has been going towards hotlinked images. This isn’t very cool. But, instead of slapping down an ugly 403-image…like…

…FAP sends a polite, eloquent, beautiful little message to the person trying to take our bandwidth.
