Se konsa, anpil pou IPOs

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's IPO was hyped, but did it work?

LinkedIn closed at $94 per share, with a volume of 30 million shares. Not bad for a day’s work. (News article.)

 

HTML5, CSS3, ak JavaScript: tan kap vini an nan sit entènèt la

Anvan mwen kòmanse, yon vwayaj kout nan istwa…

Li nan 1999. Internet Explorer 5 se bagay cho, jarèt nan teknoloji ap grandi. Ak Mariano Rivera se Mondyal Seri MVP. Ak jèn (alte.)

Yon pwomotè entènèt chita nan òdinatè l ', bwè kafe ak ekri kèk kòd. Li vle fè yon jwèt navigatè ki baze sou. Sèl fason pou li kapab fè sa a se sèvi ak Flash platfòm Adobe a fè yon fim entè-aktif ak Afiche ki nan sit entènèt li.

Li vle mete yon videyo sou sit l 'twò. YouTube son tankou non an nan yon liy tren fwomaj, pa gen anyen plis. Pwomotè nou an gen fè yon fim Flash pou sa, twò.

Yon antye gade nouvo

Oke, the host switch went nearly seamlessly (so seamlessly, an reyalite, that I have no idea if the switch actually happened.) Kòm te pwomèt, 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.

The old hathix.com

Not very pretty, dwa? Oke, 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:

Switching hosts, expect some downtime

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.
