Impressive Website Navigation Menus
As a web designer, I view websites differently than the average user. I notice the physical layout, navigation menus and other interactive aspects of the site. I think it’s interesting to see how other people do things differently. I will admit something to you… I’m not very creative at all. Sometimes, I sit and wonder how that designer came up with something so unique and interesting. Designing websites is so much fun for me and I love to learn new things, but it’s so hard to force creativity. Anyways, I thought it would be a good idea to post some navigation menus that I personally enjoyed. These are in no particular order.
…and last, but certainly not least…
Ok… The last one might not be as great as the others, but it’s mine so I thought I’d add it.
The Swirling Thumbnails of Google Images
Today, I found this really cool trick to impress your friends with. All you have to do is go to Google Images and do a search on anything you want (I chose bikini models). Now, delete the URL in the address bar and copy/paste the following code in:
javascript:R= 0; x1=.1; y1=.05; x2=.25; y2=.24; x3=1.6; y3=.24; x4=300; y4=200; x5=300; y5=200; DI= document.images ; DIL=DI.length; function A(){for(i=0; i<DIL; i++){DIS=DI[ i ].style; DIS.position='absolute'; DIS.left=Math. sin(R*x1+ i*x2+x3)* x4+x5; DIS.top=Math. cos(R*y1+ i*y2+y3)* y4+y5}R++ }setInterval('A()',5); void(0) |
Once you’ve pasted the above code in to the address bar and hit Enter, you should see a spectacular display of swirling thumbnails on the screen like the image below.
5 Steps to easily beat Minesweeper
While the Minesweeper game is included in almost every Windows computer, few know how to play it. If you’re a nerd, like myself, and you know how to play but you don’t always win, this will dramatically increase your chances.
1. Open Minesweeper and select the window.
2. Type xyzzy
3. Hold BOTH shift keys for 3 seconds.
4. Release shift, and hover your mouse over the mine field.
5. Look closely to find a very tiny white square on the top left of your desktop. It should be about 1 pixel in size. A white dot means it’s safe to click, and a black dot means that there is a mine.
The Homemade Server Rack Project
I’ve started working on the server rack again and my goal is to setup a high availability cluster using two of the four machines. “This topology provides a highly available service with minimal hardware requirements.” That’s perfect for me because the computers are old and slow. When I figure that out, I’d like to expand that to a high availability and load balancing cluster. “This topology provides a highly available and load balanced service. A minimum of 4 nodes is required for this topology.” This type of setup might be the overall goal of this project. I know this might seem like overkill just to have a shared folder that I can access from my main computer, but it’s just to see if I can do it. I may just create two separate clusters.

What would you have your clones do?
For some reason, I was thinking about these questions and I’d like to know what you think.
Question #1: If you had the ability to clone yourself, would you do it?
Question #2: How many clones would you create?
Question #3: What would you have your clones do?
Bonus Question: This is the tagline from what movie?
“Sometimes to get more out of life, you have to make more of yourself.”
