Hello! I would appreciate any feedback for my new personal site. Specifically, I'm pleased with the concept and appearance on desktop/tablet, but I cannot think of how to make this design work well on mobile. Thank you!
The play on words in the name is used also used by a charity: Well Boring, who digs wells in rural Africa. The fact that we, as a species, have failed to deal with challenges like providing global simple access to water, make me think that a project like this is unrealistic in many ways.
Post-war London tried something similar, a futuristic vision of pedestrian walkways ("pedways") to separate people from the traffic. This failed, for various practical reasons, and you can see the remnants of the experiment throughout parts of London to this day.
This scheme would come at an unimaginable cost, surely changing planning laws to create less car-centric cities is a more realistic approach to the problem?
The quote at the bottom is a bit tongue in cheek! I found it surprising how slowly money accrues even with very high salaries when you watch in real time. A watched pot I suppose...
It seems that Facebook has a heuristic where it looks for unusual numbers of retracted 'Likes' and then starts requiring confirmation before logging new Likes.
This makes attacks such as these a little less worrying.
Actually just CSS won't work in this case - because the Facebook Like button is within an iFrame. This works because Javascript cycles show/hide a transparant div above the Like button.
Thanks for that :) I was thinking of perhaps creating an invisible target for them with the same offset as the FB like/button, so that they could be clicked with the 'fake' cursor to enhance the effect!
I'm not sure if you can say that it's a direct result of Evercookie, but a number of high profile sites use this kind of tech - for example KissMetrics.com is used by a number of big companies, and they use ETAG cookies, Flash cookies - the lot.
That's because there's a transparant DIV above the Facebook iFrame, cycling on/off every few milliseconds. This is required to maintain the fake cursor's position (without it when the real cursor was over the iFrame the 'fake' cursor would stop moving).
I work for an airline and recently redesigned the flight search. Saw 10% increase in movement to next stage of the funnel.
I still don't feel like I can say 'increased turnover by £70million' in good faith though.
There is a limited market out there. For a small business a 10% uplift in conversion really = 10% more revenue. The same isn't necessarily true for a blue chip.
