As you probably remember, the professional networking (no other way to describe it) site LinkedIn went public in May under the symbol LNKD. Its IPO (initial public offering, or first release of shares in the stock market) was valued $45 per share. Later that day, LinkedIn shares were trading at $122.
LinkedIn closed at $94 per share, with a volume of 30 million shares. Not bad for a day’s work. (News article.)
Før jeg starter, en kort tur gennem historien…
Det er 1999. Internet Explorer 5 er hot stuff, tech boble vokser. Og Mariano Rivera er World Series MVP. Og unge (gisp.)
En webudvikler sidder ved sin computer, drikke kaffe og skrive noget kode. Han ønsker at gøre en browser-baseret spil. Den eneste måde han kan gøre dette på er at bruge Adobes Flash-platform for at gøre en interaktiv film og integrere det i hans hjemmeside.
Han ønsker at sætte en video på hans hjemmeside også. YouTube lyder som navnet på en teatralsk undergrundsbane linje, intet mere. Vores udvikler har at gøre en Flash-film for at, også.
Nå, the host switch went nearly seamlessly (so seamlessly, faktisk, that I have no idea if the switch actually happened.) As promised, here’s something big for you.
If you’ve ever viewed the hathix.com home page, you’ll notice how horrible it looks. Or used to look.
Not very pretty, højre? Nå, it wasn’t supposed to be. I just threw together some code to make the site work; the look wasn’t at all important.
Well I soon realized that a) this horribly ugly look was probably hurting the site and b) I had some spare time on my hands. So I wrote some new code for the site and here’s what I got:
Just a quick notice. I’m in the process of switching hosts for hathix.com, so starting tomorrow expect some downtime.
I have no idea how long the site will be down; some people have said only a few hours but I’ve read on some forums that it can take up to a week. Not exactly what I’d call helpful.
And after I switch hosts it’ll take me a little while to import some databases and other fun web management stuff, which might take another day.
To make it up to you there will be some goodies heading your way once the site’s back up.
