It's ok, I understand your pain. You should read this, it'll help...

I might try it after I finish Hamlet :lol:

Now, if they'd only stop whaleing... :shifty:

Just wait for the day when Sea Shepherd will appear with a Kirov class battlecruiser.

(Unless the following year, Japan will escort their science fleet with a reactivated Yamato battleship)

Hi. I've bought a new computer (Toshiba P50-B-11L) and I have a question.I have a joystick and a numpad. Can I set the numpad as the LIN controls and the joystick as the ROT controls?

On the off topic, here is a box full of sunshine:

Guess what is hiding inside of it.

A sentient being of pure energy?
Having seen your other projects, probably something like a Soviet era arc lamp.

 

[Scav]

A Vorlon.

 

[MattBaker]

A nuclear fusion plant

One modified for spaceflight and equipped with a Wave Motion Engine and Gun?

Uhm... Given your other mad science projects, I'm gonna go with Artlav's Doomsday Device Mk IV.

Yep.
A 2500W Xenon arc lamp.
Not sure what date it is, but it seem to be a new old stock made in Hungary at least 25 years ago.

a 2.5 kW indoor lamp? Do you have a gym hall you have to light or something? :lol:

Dude, this is Artlav we're talking about. Common Logic does NOT apply! :lol:

Finally got my portfolio website up (after I found an internship, of course, but I figure it will be handy in the future too). If you can spare a few minutes, take a look and tell me what you think:

http://raoc.azurewebsites.net

If you spot any typoes while you're there, I'd be glad to know, although I don't expect anybody to read through the whole thing.
I know that the thing still has one or two issues on phones, but I don't have any means of testing it on something intermiediate like tablets other than just checking the layout, so if somebody visits it with a tablet, tell me what the handling feels like.

Nice website ! I didn't read it all, but the text looks fine (English is only my second language). I really like the scrolling on the main page. Works like a charm. I tested it on IE9 and upwards. IE8 has a problem with the screen on the right, but IE8 should be dead and buried.

I would change the font-family of the text. Check on Google Fonts for free professional looking fonts. And consider buying a domain name to look more professionnal. You can look at those new ".me" TLDs, although they cost a bit more.

On the technology side, what's your opinion about Azure? My website is currently hosted on Digital Ocean, but my lack of knowledge of Linux probably makes it vulnerable... Maybe a more complete solution would be better.

I have to confess, I've never read Hamlet start to finish. For me, it's completely Undiscovered Country.

I'm also interested in your thoughts on Azure. I have free Azure credit each month via my company-provided MSDN subscription, but I've never utilized that particular benefit.

I'm really not much of a reference, being technically very inexpierienced in the field. From a development perspective, the integration with visual studio and sql server managment studio makes it very comfortable to use, if your web-app is developed with those tools. Though the "one-click" publish method rarely works as advertised, once you have the site deployed and working, updating any aspect of it does indeed become almost a one-click afair. Well, at least for simple apps like websites.

On the service provision side, well... azure is really kind of too big to just host a website. Azure is designed to be a rentable data-center with flexible scaling, redundancies and globaly distributed failover servers. So if I got a million visitors tomorrow between 10 and 12 for some silly reason, I allegedly could keep the site going with a few mouseclicks, or even automatically if I configured my scaling options in advance. I don't think I would want the bill for that, though. The whole system is designed so you pay for the resources you actually use, which comes with the disadvantage that I currently don't know the exact monthly costs...

Another reason that I went with azure though is that I know that it can very well get a potential employers attention. Azure is primarily targeted at businesses, and having working experience with it can be an asset when looking for a job.
