new folio site

[james]

Hi all, my site has undergone its third facelift in as many years - its now on a new domain as well > Graphic + Web Design, Oxford

Its mostly the same work as before though, so sorry if you've seen it all before! I need to start looking at updating the actual folio before the next site redesign lol...

Anyway, i'd appreciate any comments you may have on it. Thanks a lot, James

You naughty naughty man, how can you say 'what do you think?' with that wittle puppy staring at you. I liked it

[james]

ha ha, sorry laura :)
btw i'm having to re-upload it at this moment [technical hitch]

I've got a love hate relationship with it, I love the colours the tabs are great, all the green parts of the code I'm not too keen on.

<!-- InstanceBegin template="Templates/template.dwt" codeOutsideHTMLIsLocked="false" -->

But design wise it's spot on and far from cluttered, bit of work to do on the SEO though but you know where I am

[james]

thanks toon, the flash bits are playing silly buggers and not showing for me right now... no idea why!

any idea what this means then?
<!-- InstanceBegin template="Templates/template.dwt" codeOutsideHTMLIsLocked="false" -->

I thought these were what our code guys call find comments, when someone else puts something in that might not work they know here to take them out??

Hey I'm a designer like you kidda, all this code confuses the hell out of me!!

[james]

Cool, its not just me then!

[Laura Lynne]

Look good or be a geek it's a choice so they the coders say

[james]

that is a really really hard decision... :)

5 Tips for Geeks to get Laid

Attractive women do fall for geeks. Heck, I am one of them. I mean, I am a geek. Really.


I hear this all the time from my fellow guy friends “I can never get that hot girl”, well guess what, you won’t if you don’t start changing the way you think and start making that girl notice you. I admit, I always had a thing for geeks, generally because, despite popular belief, they are actually quite romantic. I get really sad when nice guys start acting not so nice guy because they think they finish last. Wrong.
I know you are asking me already, so how can I get a hot girl and not ended up hearing her say “Well, I just see you as a friend.” If you are looking for an answer, I don’t have it. I only have the motivational power to tell you that you should not change who you are on the inside but you can play the game by slightly changing what you wear on the outside. So I am sharing this with Noah so he can share it with you.
1) Don’t ask your other intellectual friends you play Counter Strike with if they think you look great in your tucked in striped shirt with checkered pants. Please. Ask your sister to go shopping with you or your friends who are girls to help you pick some nice gentleman clothing that looks handsome on you.
2) Don’t wear jeans that are tight on you. Somewhat baggy is cool, but don’t let it hang off your ass or jeans that are too tight that your balls can choke and your zipper keeps getting unzipped by itself.
3) Wear cologne. Your sister’s perfume doesn’t count. A little dab will do. The trick is to have her tell you “Wow you smell great, when you give her a hug” bonus point if she makes out with you but please if the guy next to you at the urinal can smell you, that’s too much.

4) A touch of geekiness is actually pretty cool. A great shirt from Kid Robot paired with a pair of jeans is very very cool. But please refer to #3.
5) Stay away from the gel. Believe me she doesn’t want to feel how hard and stiff your hair is.
Wow look at you now! Only 5 tips and you look and smell dashing already. Now that I am done writing this, let me get back to reading for my finals. Leave a comment and maybe we can go on a date;)
