@utoba78 nice one I'll have to get my hands on this
@JubbJubb interesting journey, I found it a little dry though. Some amazing shots nonetheless.
@kipp_brady loved Dark Days!
@zannstpierre I ended up finding the original and watching it with the doco back to back. Good picks.
@scotty not a big skater but I'll give it a go!
@haytch BC is such an inspiration

Adobe Muse - Good or Bad?
Posted 20.08.2011 @ 2.50PM
@zannstpierre Cheers, I use Notepad++ for editing the odd page and writing XML, but I'd like something with auto complete tags. Maybe there's a plugin for it that I missed.

@zannstpierre - In cases like that I'll use Drupal: CCK + Views FTW.
Here's an example of probably the most complex WordPress site I've seen though - http://internazionale.it
It's not my site, but I have had the privilege to see inside it - there's a huge set of categories at work there, but a lot of it is achieved with some custom plugins.
From what I've seen lately, WP 3.0 is getting incredibly close to where Drupal is at. I don't like the idea of custom content fields either, they're tricky to manage and require a lot of instruction/documentation.
Custom Post UI is looking good though, but I haven't gone that far into it. I'm still more comfortable with Drupal's CCK.
I work a fair bit with guys who build custom CMS in Rails as well and I can see both sides of the argument. The CMS can be build exactly to the requirements of the site, which is great, but if that dude gets hit by a bus, good luck finding someone else to continue developing/extending the site's functionality. One of the major benefits of Drupal or WordPress are their huge developer communities.
I don't condone the hitting of Rails devs with buses either.

@jubbjubb no worries at all.
@m We are hoping that folio becomes a better directory for all creatives. Additional tools are being developed for it to allow more media types and extended control over placements.
The power of folios will also allow companies to search for new staff without posting a job as they would have done in the past on Infront. I would urge you all to get a folio up and show off your best work.

@dylan & @scotty Thread tracking has now been put back in to highlight (black) threads you have viewed which haven't been updated.
@dan We aren't planning on increasing the font size at this point in time.
@katjabak yes, we plan to go mobile at some stage but a definite date hasn't been discussed.

"Job" ads on AIF that should be banned.
Posted 12.02.2012 @ 11.43AM
@zannstpierre Create a separate category in the jobs list if you must advertise these types of positions. Maybe even provide information on the pros and cons of this type of work. Testimonials, etc.
Personally I don't agree with the practice because it's too easy an avenue for exploitation. If you work you should be remunerated accordingly.
