A mirror on my website - new idea

sorry to disilution you but us old crusty's like to tickle the ribs a bit.

I reiterate young people are not Lings Target audience unless they are bankers of course.

Earl

Earl, if it was up to you none of this new "technology" would happen. We would be in plain text on ie2 websites.

You have to explore new ideas.

You were the future, once :)

Hmmm, I'm not sure if I could quite handle the website with lots of people walking about it, in various 'half life' stages although I do love the basic idea of interactive technology, so I guess I am semi-enthralled by the idea! (if you can be semi-enthralled?)

So SirEarl, I do kind of agree with you but I'm not sure if moving technology forward has much to do with age. I would say I am relatively young, don't own a PS3, do lease a car but still wouldn't want the website to be as crazy as we all know it will be! Stereotypes aren't always correct!

Still waiting for all you whiz kids to catch up,but I doubt if will happen.

To much fluff and not enough substance.

You have to understand the real world not cyber bleeding space to make things happen.

And with an education system where every kid is stuffed in a computer,I can't ever see them catching me.:)

Got it - found myself love it :)

Personally would make the pic a little clearer but good concept and it's working :)

I think Cluedo and Pac-Man may have something to say about your copyright notice.

You wanna turn the central heating on in the order room.?

I think if you've got a decent amount of web traffic it's good, and if you're prepared to/have people around to chat, then it's good to have live support :)

Not sure how fast it's tracking as I can't quite follow myself - probably because of the times. I understand the image is refreshing every 15 minutes...

Awesome work Ling. You work fast! :D

Too late to catch the CCTV, but will check it out in the morning.

You're onto something here. :cool:

Paul

Luckily I had all 3 geeks in today :)

This will be awsome. I am just scratching surface.

This is very much pre-production. I just wanted some feed back.

Notice (Sir Earl) it is cross-browser. It works!

At the moment 5 sec javascript refresh, no cache, a heavy load on the whoson server (but I bought dedicated box, so what).

It is about PEOPLE. About visitors. Wait till i start pulling out data, showing cars being looked at in the "garage" and allowing people to message/chat. Hahahaha. Web 2.0? This is web 3.0. Talk about second-life, wait until customers start to DATE each other on my website. You can chase people around :)

Everything boils down to communication. What a day, I am knackered.

I believe it is not about cars, or websites or anything else. It is about people.

I missed a day - what a great step forward since yesterday. I see everyone is clustered around "About Ling".

Earl I'll take your comment about school leavers as a compliment (and I do own an Audi too!)

Deniser,

Only a few pages are coded. Can only do so much. Now am testing resilience on the server. It is pretty heavy with 5 sec refresh and no cache at the mo.

If you go to my ummm... truck page here: http://www.lingscars.com/feature/truck.php

Then look at the Cluedo board, you will ID yourself. I work out some fuzzy positioning based on IP address and <div> coordinates, so everyone does not engage in group sex.

Hmmmm - looking good - saw myself. Only thing is though that when I went to the homepage I was shown to be on All about Ling :S Might be because you're still setting it up :)

Stef - yes.

Christ, I can only do so much in 8 hours :) From a standing start.

I will now work on this next, Tues PM and then next Thursday. At the moment I am seeing the server loads, so I am encouraging views.

Any off the wall ideas welcome!

LOL!

Ling.

I thought about using this technique back in the days when Ziggy Stardust thought he was going to marry Arthur C. Clarke! Thank goodness I didn't embarrass myself. Actually, I did embarrass myself a twidgy, itsy, liddle bit because I wrote a chat program in Perl using the same principle, but at least I didn't boast about it and show it off to the world like you are doing with this hideous abortion of a solution! LOL!

Furthermore, I suspect that the technique you are using was first concieved somewhere around the 1950's, but was dismissed in an instant because, well, it really would be just plain embarrassing to get caught solving the problem you are trying to solve with a hideous mess like that. I'm talkin' 'bout the programming, not the graphics, which, incidentally, are also a hideous mess! LOL!

You IDIOT!

Yes that's right, how does it feel to be called an IDIOT? And not just to be called an idiot, but how does it feel to actually *be* an idiot?

And the thing is, the reason why you are an IDIOT is so much more valid than the reason why you called someone else an idiot, who was actually asking a very sensible question, unlike you, who thinks that such a stupid, amateur piss-about in *my world* is actually an innovation!

LOL at you, you IDIOT.

I look forward to the release of your chat program so I can have another laugh!

And if any of you little sheeple that are currently being corrupted by, and following the 'Ling-thing' think she's right, then why don't you try and write me a little mathematical proof or something to show me why?

LOL!

Dave

PS. Moderators. Sorry about my abusive and insultive behaviour. Ban me for a week or whatever - I deserve it I know. But before I go I would just like to say that it was thoroughly worth it just to tell the ling-thing what I thing - I mean ling - I mean think - I mean stink - Oh you know what I mean when I'm just trying to take cheap shots at Ling's name! :)

Well I am more of a one liner ,but you got depth and verbosity beyond your years.:)

I bow to the master of the Satanic verse.

I suspect Ling might be in for an intimate lesson on how chop suey feels
