AutoDesk is giving away free copies of its student programs like AutoDesk Inventor. If you are a student you need to take a minute to register for this great offer! (visit Student Autodesk)
As soon as my month-long fight with my computer-box is over (Curse you SATA, Cheap Video Cards, and ECS Mobos), I plan on releasing some Inventor tutorials and because it is a $4000 program (Full Version) this maybe your only chance to grab a copy!
Please note that you must be a student with a college email address(I think they also allow Highschool emails). Also, you will need a decent video card for this program as it is a 3D modeling program. (64MB video card should be fine - but I suggest a 128MB.)
Time for more (than less) information on the recent updates to Code2Design.
Yes, C2D is now open search compatible. Now you can search all of Code2Design.com right from your browser!
To install the browser plug-in for Firefox, Opera, or Internet Explorer 7 simply visit any page on C2D and click the highlighted search box to add us to your list of favorite search engines!
However, if you are anything like me, you probably never even use that feature. ;) So, now is a great chance to improve your skills, find useful information, and help test-out our new search plug-in. Boy are you efficient!
Lately, as I find myself spending increasing amounts of time online (in research); I end up meeting many exceptional people who more or less are lacking in some area of the web. Now meeting people is a very good thing, however, this ultimately leads to a problem – I love to help people. Wait, that’s a problem?...
Well… It is when you don’t have any time! ;]
I know that I have a long way to go before I can match the skill and talent of today’s top programmers and designers – but if you don’t mind me saying – I still can hold my own to most of the web out there. One of the reasons is the collection of bookmarks, scripts, tools, and such I have found over the course of my web life.
Well, as quite as it has been around here there have been a lot of additions, updates, and even some new movies! Yes, Code2Design is still under a very active development.
Keeping a site up-to-date is a big problem in today's world. Every code-kitty out there is looking for a site to hack – supposedly, to gain the respect of others (which is probably the same type of respect one could earn from toilet-papering someone's house). Plus you have the bots out there always on the lookout for a place to plant some spam. So, security alone keeps me busy as I strive to keep C2D a friendly, spam-free, environment! :)
After all, this is about us enjoying our time and learning something. Hopefully, we can get some haXor (excuse me, "craker") to help with php security lessons. ;)
Yes I know, the site is a little messed up right now...
Yep, C2D went down yesterday. Sorry, it wasn’t very professional of me :)
Anyway, the whole thing started when I tried upgrading this site to the newest version, (yes, I didn’t code the whole thing...). So I was able to successfully..however some of the mods I have were not compatible with the new version! So, thankfully I make DB Backups often and was (after many hours) able to restore a copy of the database! Then today I restored a file system backup I had also made. So, the moral of the story is to check your mods before you move a system.
After all this I watched an "A" (Adult) rated movie called Jamaica Inn. It was a black & white mystery/horror(?) movie from like 1940(?). Since you couldn’t actually see if someone was being killed or not (you could only tell from the sudden volume spike in the 2-bit sound) I overlooked the "A" rating. (Also, the fact that someone committing suicide constituted jumping half-way off a ship’s mast and then stopping the movie to throw a scare-crow the rest of the way tells you something.)
But hey, it is still cleaner entertainment than the garbage all over the T.V. now…
After over four months in the making (and almost a year on the idea board), C2D has finally launched! This site is focused on teaching web site design, coding, and common sense to and from anyone who wants be a part of our community!
Founded on two basic principles: Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength and Love your neighbor as yourself. Because of this, the people we teach, help, and learn from are our family - and together we will change the face of the Internet!
Bring on the PHP, XHTML, CSS, Photoshop, AutoCAD and more!
Happy New Year!
