Quick Tip: Web Design

I have learned that old browsers (i.e. Internet Explorer 6) have difficulty displainy images with transparency, and may see transparent areas as a light blue.


I suggest that to fix the problem that you either add your background to the image, or take a screenshot of the page in a browser which displays your site correctly!

Mobile Penny-Save

I am workingon getting a mobile version of Penny-Save running, and itis getting close to being ready. PennySave There are 3 things stopping this from being done. First, the editor I used to make this removed the hyphen in Penny-Save. There are also way too many deals on it (1000 or so), which gives to much of my code away. Lastly, I am having trouble registering i.penny-save.com, so there is nowhere ot put it...

Embarrasing

Adam Miner Posted by Adam Miner at 03:16 PM on February 26, 2009 Comments comments (0)

I have a nice little code that runs Penny-Save, but it is very clunky on the backend. I have been continually working on improving it, but there isn't much more I could do.


I was working on optimizing the code, and found out that even though my code knows the publish date of everything, it still needs to be told to sort the deals. This ended up freezing the Penny-Save homepage (lesser effects were on category pages).


I also found out that I applied a modifi...

Don't Get that Macintosh

Adam Miner Posted by Adam Miner at 03:14 PM on February 26, 2009 Comments comments (0)

Here is a paper I wrote for engilsh class. I show my stance on the Mac vs. Pc battle.


Macintosh versus Windows, this has been a huge debate over the past few years, and it will likely carry on until the end of time. It is very likely that you have been looking at that new iMac, this is normal; most people cannot resist walking into an Apple store just to look around. Everyone wants a better computer,...

I have recently purchased a USB charger for my iPod, but it didn't work. I went back to the store to get a second one, when I got it home, I tried to charge it, and it had the same problem. I wrote a chain of emails to the company, to find that they will replace my charger free of charge. They are shipping it to me tommorrow. This is the way customer service i...

Windows 7

Adam Miner Posted by Adam Miner at 05:03 PM on January 11, 2009 Comments comments (1)

Most of my nerdy friends know by now that I have obtained a beta copy of Windows 7. This has been a weekend project for me due to one problem; partitions. To get Windows 7 on my laptop, i had to do some partitioning, but my laptop wouldn't allow me to shrink the current partitions. After a long weekend I have solved the issue, and I now have Windows 7 on my computer. I look forward to showing you guys more about it in the future.

Does anybody know the answer?

Why do hotdogs come in packs of 10, while buns come in packs of 16?

Today Penny-Save got an upgrade that nobody will notice.First of all, the blog is now sorted into categories, but what makes this great is only postings under "announcements make it into the deals box. This all happened without taking down the framework of my site. I have also noticed the number of visitors stable out, and slowly gro on a dily basis. The current goal is to launch an effective community. It has been in place for a while, but there has been no reason for visitors to use it.
