Hey everyone,  
Well, I was given some free web space over at college where I can pretty much do whatever I want, so I decided I might as well use it for something. I created the first page, and it can be found here:  
[http://www.kirupa.com/me/temp/index2.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/me/temp/index2.htm)

Does anyone have any suggestions? I’m going to revamp the menu thing on the right so it doesn’t contain the same, dull college site content. I’ll try to find something more interesting to place there instead =)

Thanks!  
Kirupa 😛

you already know my opinion 😛 the layout is great and the foreword is erm… weird 😛

i love the circles at the top, they make a nice touch 😉

i think there should be a way to completely turn off the sound 🙂

yeah - I guess if people press Music Off once, they probably want the sound off permanently 🙂

hehe, why do you have this when you already have [kirupa.com](http://kirupa.com)? :trout:

looks good though.

[Kirupa.com](http://Kirupa.com) is his Flash resource site, this site here is his personal site 🙂

Ok, as for the layout… I think it is great =)

The font in the navigation is too small for my taste.

The color scheme is gorgeous!!!

Those jumbly circle things rock, you going to write a tutorial on those? (no im not asking for me, i already have an idea how it is done and have done something similar before)

yeah, that is going to be my personal site. I can be a little informal and more off-the-wall than I would normally be here 🙂 Besides, I always wanted to create something that isn’t user-friendly but looks different. Agreed about the fonts - I’ll fix them shortly.

Lost, I searched the forums for the vibrating effect - suprabeener explained it a really long time ago. It would make a good tutorial though, and I’ll start on it sometime tomorrow 🙂

Cheers!

I like it! Especially the background. Did you do it yourself?

I like it - those circles at the top look like they’re going to explode any minute… 😛

Thanks 🙂 No pom - I used the images from the following site: [http://www.squidfingers.com/patterns/](http://www.squidfingers.com/patterns/) In the more up-to-date version which I will upload in a few seconds, I make mention of his site in thanks.

EDIT: Updated version can be found here: [http://www.kirupa.com/me/temp/index.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/me/temp/index.htm) , though I still have some random content that I need to add up 🙂 Also, if I forgot anyone’s site from here, feel free to mention it, and I’ll add it up.

Cheers!  
Kirupa 😊

Cool. 🙂 It’s sort of like [kirupa.com](http://kirupa.com), but different (no \*\*\*\* Sherlock 😛 ).

What I mean is that you can pretty much tell they’re by the same person, but each has it’s own identity. 🙂 What’s going up there eventually? 🙂

Oh, the only thing I noticed was that there seems to be a lot of vertical scroll on it, even though there’s just empty space beneth the main box. I know there’s probably supposed to be a bit of a gap anyway, just seemed like a lot. :sure:

And thanks for linking to me! \<b\>_Hugs_\</b\>

I thought it looked a bit squidfingery 😛

I love that site, I have checked it on a daily basis since it was podlob. Sometimes you can see nice interesting things in his news updates. Not to mention his pixel patterns, flash, and dhtml stuff are amazing.

Thanks for the link, Kir 🙂 I’ll probably use some of those patterns. And I didn’t know podLob either. This guy has some really nice effects (the mask effects in particular are amazing!).

Kit - that site will eventually replace the ridiculous temp page I have up here: [http://web.mit.edu/kirupa/](http://web.mit.edu/kirupa/) I am not sure what I’ll put, but I’m planning on getting some cool National Geographic articles and modifying it to something like “In search of the Kirupa: In a Frozen Glacier” =) I want to create something that is a little bit different than the usual college pages individuals put up to dull the visitor. I am hoping to have it updated periodically with random content that is a little bit different than what I normally do.

Lost - I’ve almost finished with the tutorial on creating the random circle thing, and it will be up sometime later today. My connection being out and traveling kept it from being completed earlier.

Cheers!

kit/lost - here is how that little effect was done (copy and paste to a movie clip of course):  
[AS]onClipEvent (load) {  
//movie width/height  
height = 200;  
width = 300;  
//------------------------//  
//makes everything random //  
//------------------------//  
this.\_x = Math.round(Math.random()\*width);  
this.\_y = Math.round(Math.random()\*height);  
var temp = this.\_alpha=Math.random()\*100;  
this.\_xscale = this.\_yscale=temp;  
//setting initiaion position  
cx = this.\_x;  
cy = this.\_y;  
}  
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
//causes the object to be offset  
this.\_x = cx+(1+Math.random()\*5);  
this.\_y = cy+(1+Math.random()\*5);  
}[/AS]

Cool. 🙂 I really like that effect…

Now make it so that they explode on rollover. :bad: 😛
