As you probably remember, the professional networking (no other way to describe it) 现场 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.)
在我开始之前, 一个简短的通过历史之旅…
这是 1999. Internet Explorer的 5 是热的东西, 科技股泡沫越来越大. 和Mariano Rivera是联赛最有价值球员. 而年轻 (喘气。)
Web开发人员坐在他的电脑, 喝咖啡并编写一些代码. 他想使基于浏览器的游戏. 他能做到这一点的唯一途径是使用Adobe的Flash平台的互动电影，并嵌入在自己的网站.
他希望把他的网站上的一个视频. YouTube的听起来像一个俗气的地铁线路的名称, 而已. 我们的开发人员必须做出一个Flash影片为, 太.
良好, the host switch went nearly seamlessly (so seamlessly, 其实, 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, 右? 良好, 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.
As you might have noticed, the guys at Google have released (良好, not released, they’ve just publicly shown it for the first time; Chromebooks are coming out on June 15) Chromebooks, which are netbooks that run the Chrome OS.
More about the actual computers later; the interesting part about the computer is its operating system. Chrome OS is a completely web-based operating system; it’s nothing but Chrome, Google’s web browser. 这是正确的, the only application on the computer is Chrome.
Good news, news hounds, tech junkies, and lovers of the elephant: you can now follow hathix.com on Twitter – hathix. Or just click on the button above the post.
Here’s what I’ll be tweeting on:

Foreword: I’m allowed a shameless plug every so often, aren’t I?
Good news: I’ve created an official hathix.com store on CafePress where you can buy
official hathix.com gear:
So far I only have 6 designs, but more are coming soon. A design works on any item in the store.
Love the elephant? Grab yourself something from the store today (it’s at hathix.com/store).
