Como usted probablemente recuerda, the professional networking (no other way to describe it) sitio 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. No está mal para un día de trabajo. (News article.)
Antes de empezar, un breve viaje por la historia…
Es 1999. Internet Explorer 5 es un asunto caliente, la burbuja de la tecnología es cada vez mayor. Y Mariano Rivera es World Series MVP. Y el joven (jadear.)
Un desarrollador web se sienta en su computadora, tomando café y escribiendo algo de código. Él quiere hacer un juego basado en navegador. La única manera de hacerlo es utilizar la plataforma Adobe Flash para hacer una película interactiva y que incrustar en su sitio web.
Quiere poner un video en su sitio también. YouTube suena como el nombre de una línea de metro cursi, nada más. Nuestro desarrollador tiene que hacer una película de Flash para que, demasiado.
Bien, the host switch went nearly seamlessly (so seamlessly, de hecho, that I have no idea if the switch actually happened.) Lo prometido es deuda, 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, derecho? Bien, 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.
