Toľko pre IPO

As you probably remember, the professional networking (no other way to describe it) miesto 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, a JavaScript: budúcnosť webu

Než začnem, Stručný výlet do histórie…

To je 1999. Internet Explorer 5 je horúce tovar, tech bublina rastie. A Mariano Rivera je World Series MVP. A mladý (lapať po dychu.)

Web developer sedí u svojho počítača, pitie kávy a písanie nejaký kód. Chce, aby sa prehliadač založený hry. Jediný spôsob, ako to urobiť, je použiť Adobe Flash platformu, aby sa o interaktívny film a vložiť, že na svojom webe.

Chce dať video na jeho mieste príliš. YouTube znie ako názov syrovou metra linky, nič viac. Náš developer má natočiť film Flash pre ktoré, príliš.

Úplne nový vzhľad

Dobre, the host switch went nearly seamlessly (so seamlessly, vlastne, 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.

The old hathix.com

Not very pretty, vpravo? Dobre, 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.
