    EVER so true. And let me be the first to warn you: Signing up with "DICE.COM" will result in MASSIVE amounts of spam. Interestingly enough, though, since I own the domain I used, I have abilities to collect relief under the CAN-SPAM act and sent out a couple of threats to that end. It still took about two months before the email stopped... but they stopped.My best advice to people who get too much spam is to stop using their email address, create some new ones and adopt new, more paranoid habits when usi

    While we're talking about real Australian beer, try some Coopers, the last remaining brewer of the traditional Australian Sparkling Ale style. Some of the new micros have started to get interested in this style too - Bridge Road brewers brew an Australian Ale I believe - but Coopers have consistently brewed this ale for over 100 years.Another traditional Australian beer worth a shot is Tooheys Old.

    Certain parts of education are money down the drain anyway. You can't blame the children for not opening up their heads to what adults sometimes perceive to be "their jobs"; kids function and learn differently from how industrial workforce production is designed.

    His car is private property. Now if you have a little hover camera that follows his car everywhere, that's just fine, since he shouldn't expect anything he does in public to not be logged and cross-referenced extensively. If he doesn't want that, he should avoid doing things in public.

  18. Re: on What Do You Call People Who "Do HTML"? · · Score: -1

    I would just say Web Designer. There are three main categories, design, coding and administration.HTML and CSS is just markup - lets make this clear, being able to write HTML does not make you a programmer. I would expect a web designer to be able to design the graphics and type the HTML to display it. They don't even need javascript necessarily. Their sole role is to design a web page.A Web Developer on the other hand takes the design and adds bit into it to make it interactive properly - so this might include flash content, javascript image galleries, etc. They are also the people that do the server side scripting in PHP and Ajax. They are the programmers.There are people who do a little of both but i think in most companies there are people who do almost solely one or the other. Crossover experience is useful because if you're a designer you need to know what is within the limits of the coder and if you're coding you need to be in constant contact with the designer to make sure that your code not only works, but looks pretty when in action. Again, with coding, you might want to knock up a piece of code that displays a certain thing depending on the situation - and of course your thing will be rendered in HTML so clearly coders need to know HTML, but it's not their job to make the images or design the colour scheme.A webmaster doesn't need to do either of these things but sometimes does both. The webmaster, to my mind, controls the hard drive space and/or server. It's his job to check that everything works ok, that people can't access files that they can't and to liaise with clients to see what they want. Again it's handy to have design and coding experience, but the webmaster is basically an administration role.Finally you have the people who test things, i.e. testers.That's my take on it. In an ideal world an applicant to a job would need a mixture of experience with all three, but needs to specialise in one. This description makes web designers look a bit wimpy compared to developers who need to know basically everything, but good coding is NOTHING without a good front end to back it up with.
