@ZachSaucier do you know a good source for favicon sizes and also naming conventions for mobile devices?

@ZachSaucier Getting broader is always a good idea. I never regretted my chemistry degree with Japanese Language and Theatre Science minors.
@Darth_Vader doesn't Google have a nice piece on that re Android somewhere?
@ZachSaucier bit of a pity though that it's a decision forced by university incompetence. If you'd really wanted to super-specialise, you'd be in a pickle.
 
4:46 AM
@Darth_Vader standard favicon size is 16x16px
naming conventions for mobile... Not sure what you mean there
@RandyJones agreed. It is what it is, I suppose. I'm happy with the decision :)
 
As you should! :-)
 
sent out several emails today trying to get into the graphic design classes
I know the spots are tight
 
Hm. I do remeber delivering a slew of icon sizes in Ldpi, XHDPI,up to XXXHDPI.
But those might've been just app icons, not favicons.
Although I wouldn't be surpised if retina displays ask for a 32x32 icon.

Q: Close votes discorage questions about general design priciples

dumbledadYesterday I asked the question: Should either the area or the length of a square be proportional to the data that is being visualized?. Today I wake up to find it has two close votes. I am so disappointed. Through spending time on the site and reading this meta-site I am aware how desperate we a...

@Johannes_B there seems to be a competition for 'the one Johannes' :)

@RandyJones The one and only Johannes? Quite a challenge. I am a penguin.
 
you chat pretty well for a penguin
 
9:51 AM
@RandyJones I also speak duck quite fluently as many of our chatroom users fall back to their native language every once in a while. Quack.
 
lol
welcome, anyways :) Don't let the other Johannes intimidate you

Hi everybody move up there
how do you tag a word in questions ?
or how can i find text template for SE?
 
hi 'Pedia. What do you mean with 'tag a word in questions'? You can add up to five tags to questions, to represent what the Q's about
 
in text body
wait a min
 
you can't tag words in the Q's body
 
status-completed at this Q

Q: Updates to the site

Stéphane MartinMy name is Stéphane and I'm the designer at Stack Exchange who made the design of this site. You may have noticed some updates to the design lately. The updates are part of a SE network-wide update to a new base css framework (the code which display the design). This network update allows us ...

 
not all of those issues have been completed. The ask button, for example, is still a png
 
11:55 AM
at the start of first answer
status-completed linked to status-completed tag
i need a template for Q&A text box
sometime i need to re-size images or anythings else.
 
ah
I think what you mean is that you can use this shortcode:
[tag:lorem-ipsum] to get
should work in Q bodies as well
now I get what you mean :)
 
so, i need template for all short-codes
 
the template is that: [tag:enter-tag-name-here]
 
All Short-codessssss
:))
 
pfff, sorry, I don't know all of them by heart
don't even know whether they're collected somewhere
you could try and search meta.stackexchange.com
 
12:01 PM
thanks bro ;)
there is no source for theme :/
 
none that I have found
I learned most of mine from other users
 
ha ha
but why ?
 
you can easily link the help center with [help], and this place with [chat]
 
that's great
 
I do remember seeing an overview some time ago, but I don't know where to find it
 
12:05 PM
if u find it please tag me
 
for example in this page
there is no code for re-sizing
 
in chat? none that I know of
 
I learned it from other users
not this page ( chat ) - on this page (that u link it)
:)))
 
but again, there's a lot I don't know about SE. I've been a mod here for about a week and a half now
still learning :)
ok, time for lunch here
be back in an hour or so :)
 
12:09 PM
ok, thanks ;)
Raster Vs Vector ?
How To Explain Raster vs. Vector To Your Clients?
 
12:22 PM
@RandyJones For me this often is not only case with designers but local service providers like doctors who treat me like cattle. That's why if you heard it there are patients "imagining" things. This is what happens when you stop trusting or no longer have hope in them. Especially this is often true with psychiatrists who have interest in prescribing medications. I know there are those who tell you to buy medications from specific pharmacy when there are many of them around.
Why exactly this pharmacy? Affiliation. Those snakes...
 
I'm so lost
@RandyJones is Bakabaka?
 
12:40 PM
@Ryan vincent
 
@joojaa vincent is bakabaka :)
 
Yes i was merely thinking in terms of las name used
Anyway i came to say hi @Ryan and verify your confusion is also my confusion
byd
 
12:56 PM
hey @Ryan, @joojaa
how was Vegas?
 
good morning
 
hey Matt
 
sup Vincent how is your day rolling?
 
@RandyJones it was alright. Nicer than other hotel for sure and the show went really well. Got a lot of leads, and a lot to do. I go back next week also for the other Vegas show. Then home for a while!
 
good to hear!
quite well, @Darth_Vader, thanks. How's yours?
 
1:00 PM
too early to tell right now lol
trying to figure out a nice way to call out a user that has questions from 2012 that arent accepted.
@Ryan sup! have a good trip? how much money you lose
 
are they active in the network?
 
ya I answered his question and when I viewed his profile I noticed he had a question with several answers to it
 
want me to comment, as a 'neutral' party?
 
@Darth_Vader other than a few overpriced drinks I didn't lose any money. I don't gamble.
 
@Ryan some good beers, I hope?
 
1:05 PM
2 beers and 2 dirty martinis. All were good but very overpriced.
One of the beers was $16.00 :\
 
O_o Vegas will be Vegas, I suupose
 
Could only justify it on account of everything else being paid for by the company
 
@Ryan Id rather go to a store and buy a 12 pack
 
expensive 12 pack :P
 
A Walgreens was next to the resort... a single Miller High Life can was $3.50
Gotta get off the strip to be in normal territory. Luckily next week when I go back I'll have a rental car
 
1:08 PM
going back??
why not just stay?
 
10 days is a long time to have the company pay for a hotel and missed work
 
well true, so you're not salary?
 
$240/night is what that hotel cost I believe. Airline ticket is $460.
That doesn't of course include having to eat out at expensive places every day.
Not to mention as long as the flight is I'd rather be home for a while in my own bed and with my own kitchen.
 
...close to your own sports place and weights? :)
 
eh Palazzo had a pretty nice gym included and I won a free day spa pass. Next trip is at Caesar's Palace and I don't think they have a free gym. If not I'll go workout with this girl I know out there off-strip.
Actually I might just not workout, would rather hop in the car and just take off for the mountains
 
1:14 PM
@Ryan shoot thats less then my NYC trip
 
Southwest is cheap
and Orlando International is also a major hub as you know
 
1:28 PM
man I wish I could be on a beach in FL, lol
anyone else getting tons of rain this month?
 
nope. pretty dry here, even, for the time of year
(jinx)
 
shoot its rain every day here the past two weeks...
sending vibes to Cali, lol
 
been raining a lot in Florida
gah now to sort a big stack of receipts for accounting :(
 
1:45 PM
anyone familiar with stripping an HTML document where its just the content?
 
@Darth_Vader as far as just markup or not even markup?
 
only by using find & replace
 
Ive tested aspell but its trying to spell check the tags
 
@Darth_Vader when are you going to NYC?
@Darth_Vader lots of rain here
finally going to be able to play our ultimate game today - was postponed for a few weeks
 
@ZachSaucier ya I would imagine you get the same storms as me
I asked on ubuntu, lol: askubuntu.com/questions/612478/…
 
2:04 PM
$308.94 to eat out for 6 days in Vegas o.O
 
grmbl. one of my good friends enthusiastically tells me about this logo design contest on facebook... facepalm
 
@RandyJones h aha
 
I had to restrain myself to post a caustic answer on the contest organiser's fb page
 
shoot I would have done it
something like... so you're too cheap to pay for a designer, huh?
 
it's a very conscience-sedating 'oh-look-we're-helping-this-poor-african-kid-like non-profit
If I'd be caustic, I'd come across as a jerk.
Non that I'm not, but still :P
 
2:27 PM
Hello @Yohann
 
I dont know why but it annoys me when CSS is not consistent
sup @YohannV.
 
@Darth_Vader have an example?
 
some CSS all on one line some indented once, some three, some not at all
 
Ah
yes, that should annoy every developer
thought you meant CSS rendered across various browsers
 
meh. annoying developers is easy
 
2:30 PM
I would like to push for all usage of one standard for margins, I hate some calling all four
 
@RandyJones annoying everyone is easy if you know what annoys them
 
true
but there's a lot that annoys developers
 
my newest one.. text in images
 
depends on the dev
 
I mean, all I have to say is 'I indent with tabs', and all developers will fall over that
:P
 
2:31 PM
but standardizing things within a project is very helpful
 
and helps to be able to script against
 
I like tabs in my soup!
I also sleep on scripts
 
2:49 PM
@Zach just saw that spacing bug again. Perhaps a Chrome bug? When I went to inspect the element, it disappeared
 
has to be a rendering issue, but it's triggered by something
no big deal though
 
3:04 PM
my analysis of Google's doodles is still true :D Gifs for non-interactive, Canvas for interactive

4:15 PM
My favorite part of shows is how busy I am right when I get back. Makes me feel all important for a day or two. Then back to being a slow office worker with too much free time :\
 
enjoy the moment :)
 
4:29 PM
I will. Might actually be busy a bit longer this time. Got 70 leads from that show to take care of and a lot of other ideas and projects to get cranking on. Not to mention the show next week will hopefully be successful too
how's the Mod life? @RandyJones
 
4:46 PM
Is your site Apple Watch responsive? ultimateresponsive.com. You web developers better get on this!
 
@AndrewH hah. Do any sites work?
seems a bit broken at the moment
ah ok got a couple sites to load
 
I don't think so. I tried a couple before I read the disclaimer
 
I was getting what looked like a hosting issue
 
Ooo mine loaded, but of course scroll bars for sites.
 
@Ryan pretty ok. some more duties to attend, some less :)
 
4:54 PM
@Ryan werent you looking to move to nyc?
 
@Darth_Vader eh I don't even know any more. I was looking to move to be with a girl. Now it's all up in the air and seems she's lost all interest. No idea really. But, why do you ask?
 
@Ryan we were talking about it earlier and I was going to have to go up there for work again.
 
@Darth_Vader ah okay. Did you have a question or something though?
 
nah was just seeing where you were going up there.
 
oh. Yeah I don't know. Everything was good then since Easter she's been distancing herself more and more. I'm pretty over it at this point. If she wants to be in a relationship with me she needs to reciprocate and talk to me. Lately its been all one-sided. So think we're done. It's really disappointing.
 
4:59 PM
sorry man didnt mean to bring ya down
 
Nah you didnt
 
:( that sucks
sorry to hear, man
 
@ZachSaucier in regards to browser icons there was some documentation somewhere on the naming convention for devices that I've lost but for a few sites Im designing target specific icons to be used..
oh...
 
5:16 PM
well, you've got 13 questions without accepted answers to his 2
 
AND Im fixing that ;)
you'll notice Ive been editing a lot of the ones I didnt accept an answer to
@ZachSaucier you might have a good answer for this old question: graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/16158/…
 
Does this help with that mydevice.io/devices?
 
I don't have many references for mobile device sizes
I don't design for them, I design responsively :)
 
5:31 PM
@AndrewH absolutely
@ZachSaucier err.. but dont you need to know the resolution to take into account for the media quires?
 
no, I make media queries based on the content, not the screen
in other words, I start with width 330px (usually)
keep that design layout until it gets ugly (varies depending on the design)
then use a media query to change the layout to make it not ugly
then keep resizing bigger until it gets ugly again
 
 
2 hours later…
7:27 PM
I think I said consult the printer enough =P
are we not doing anymore design based questions?
 
 
4 hours later…
11:44 PM
I'll have to ask my printer if we're still doing design-based questions.
