Browsers and Website Statistics

On October 4, 2011 By

With the cur­rent ver­sion of LunarStu­dio, I redesigned it with forward-thinking in mind ver­sus a legacy men­tal­ity. I don’t have the time to think of the worst-case or even aver­age view­ing sce­nario and frankly really can’t be dri­ven to care unless I’m get­ting paid to do so. The way I fig­ure it is that if a per­son is hav­ing prob­lems view­ing my web­site, then there’s a chance that they are some­what com­puter illit­er­ate, and this might make a work­ing sit­u­a­tion ten­u­ous at best — they’re sim­ply try­ing to jump from an era of dri­ving a horse and buggy to dri­ving the lat­est Fer­rari. I hope that this isn’t taken as being rude or con­de­scend­ing — I’m just merely stat­ing that a user needs to get with the times or risk becom­ing a thing of the past.

On September 30, 2011 By

Over the past few years, the US econ­omy has taken a severe beat­ing leav­ing mil­lions of Amer­i­cans strug­gling to find employ­ment and forc­ing oth­ers to be cau­tious in their spend­ing habits. As a result of this cli­mate of eco­nomic uncer­tainty, peo­ple have been quick to point their fin­gers at what they per­ceive as the source of their prob­lems but very few are offer­ing up effec­tive and valid solu­tions to help solve this prob­lem. In order to wrap our arms around this major issue, we need to first diag­nose the issues that cre­ated this prob­lem in the first place in order for it to not hap­pen again.

Cloudflare Comes to MediaTemple

On September 22, 2011 By

Some­thing worth not­ing for peo­ple look­ing for web­site host­ing is that my host, Medi­aTem­ple just announced that they part­nered up with Cloud­Flare. Cloud­Flare is a CDN, or Con­tent Deliv­ery Net­work. A CDN works by tak­ing “clones” of your web­site, and copy­ing them to various […]

The Internet in Every US Home

On September 20, 2011 By

“The FCC main­tains that access to high-speed inter­net is not merely a con­ve­nience, but essen­tial to pro­vide a fair chance at a job and an edu­ca­tion, as well as to run a suc­cess­ful busi­ness. In a report released last year, the FCC main­tained, “approx­i­mately 26 mil­lion Amer­i­cans, mostly in rural com­mu­ni­ties located in every region of the coun­try, are denied access to the jobs and eco­nomic oppor­tu­nity made pos­si­ble by broadband.”

LunarStudio HTML5 Update

On September 19, 2011 By

After another week of going through code, I’ve update the lunarstudio.com web­site to incor­po­rate addi­tional HTML5 valid syn­tax. By doing so, I hope to increase future com­pat­i­bil­ity across browsers, speed up the page load times, and make it eas­ier to make future updates and revisions.
