This site, Dinarius, is quite happy to host one of the first and most helpful call-in podcast shows that help normal people get answers to computer questions. You know that feeling of having a computer question that you think is too simple to ask a computer techinician and all your “computer friends” give you contradictory answers? Well, this can be the end of that!

Web 2.0 Bubble Trembling. Special-Section
The danger of Web 2.0’s collapse first became clear to me with an unpublished article entitled My Dear John To Web 2.0 In it are examinations of the mentality that has returned Mystery Meat Navigation to the forefront of site design. The height of this absurdity is Microsoft’s desire to be the first Operating System that the next one BILLION computer users see. In a move that is completely at odds with this welcoming ease-of-use is Windows Vista’s utter lack of a “Start” button. Only if you already have familiarity with the product do you know that the Windows Logo is actually the old Start button.

Opening Up A No-Brainer. Special-Section
IMHO, a path for certain disaster was clearly laid out. Don’t allow data portability, maintain a closed, mono-culture and victimize your subscribers with advertisments designed for print media. In short, do what AOL did. Today’s report of Facebook making their platform an open source project does surprise me somewhat after all this talk about data portibility.

Reciprocal Art Online Special-Section
9.18 – After a few days off, we present you with some delicious art online. Art is one of our most favoritest things next to computers. Combining the two loves makes us euphoric. The Favorite Website Awards is a great, long-time site highlighting sites that illustrate creativity and cutting-edge design techniques.
RayFormDesign.com’s WEB gallery submission leads us to what is perhaps the most irritating site we’ve seen in ages. Pixel 101.com Great logo. Use RayFormDesign to get there and click the logo. Pixel 101 opens in a sliver of a window measuring one hundred and one pixels wide. Ha ha. Maximize it; no navigation of any kind. WORK AROUND: press [F11] in cases like this to activate ‘full screen mode.’ You’ll now knock out the top navigation of the site, but it might not even matter. Your BACK button can be replaced with the [backspace] key.
Often times, you can stumble on to excellent artists who are known in industry circles, but haven’t yet broken out into the mainstream light. E-creative.net launches a newly recognized site about once every four days. By slipping down to logos of Supporters, we found illustrator, Jean Sebastien Rossbach image. If he links back, these back and forth links are said to be ‘reciprocal.’
DesignIsKinky pushes Rossbach to the top leading to his profile which in turn leads to his blog based in France in which he leads us to an image he worked on for Jason Felix’s work. Jason’s gallery is a little sparse considering he make a book, but the Links option takes us to a select few sites friendly to J.
ConceptArt.org highlights artists who actually have a large sway within Hollywood. At the time of this article, every single thumbnail we clicked resulted in, “home/concept/public_html/showimage.php on line 22,” which means they’re having some temporary trouble. So back to square one we go…
E-creative.net offers up a random site and our good luck swung us to DinoDream.com where very attractive shapes and colors and sites are presented in some strange language. Total eye candy is found here thankfully. Another Supporter is res72.com where a blog-style layout boasts yet another grand collection of links like Elephante.com where ink illustration lives on in bold strength. And now a word on hacking…
The image above is from one of the sites you can hop to in the network of links. They set it as a background making it nearly impossible to view in its entirety. It’s set as a background to a blank HTML page. When right-clicking, the ‘copy’ option isn’t there because it’s not formally listed as an ‘image’ in HTML with ‘img’ tags. But what is available is the [Hacking Butterflies] Source (View Source). This gives a very short HTML code showing you where on the server the background image is coming from. The ‘../extra’ is an extension of the address you’re already at. So copy/paste the image name and stick it in the web browser address bar AFTER the address that you can read at the moment. Viola! Impossible-to-copy image appears before your very eyes. Excellent (though not perfectly hack-proof) security of images rests with using Flash.
RayFormDesign.com’s WEB gallery submission leads us to what is perhaps the most irritating site we’ve seen in ages. Pixel 101.com Great logo. Use RayFormDesign to get there and click the logo.

Anyway, get back to work and happy hunting!
