What does everyone do all day?

[LBCDO]

Im a graphic designer and I work from home. So I get up about 10, watch springer and Maury all day, and surf the internet. I probally get about 2 hours of productive work in a day. Then I might kill time working out, walking the dog, or shit, i dunno, read every once in a while. I guess I got it pretty easy, but for some reason i always feel like I need more hours in a day.

I probally hit the bed at like 4 or 5 AM, wake up, do it again. Oh, and I go clubbinon the weekends

[ingram22]

Professional poker player. I only play about three hours a day, so I have a lot of free time.

I watch a shitload of movies. Workout five days a week. Rock climbing, hiking, I spend as much time outside as I can.

[Night Rider]

[insert Night Rider joke here] lol

[BeardedOne]

Hate you! :x

My work day starts (This week) at 6:00 AM Monday, 3:30 AM Tuesday, 1:00 AM Wednesday, and 3:30 AM Thursday and Friday. I worked tend hours today.

After workies, I head home and "work" on eBay stuff, small biz consulting, and numbers work for a small dotcom.

Then I play phone tag with a plumber and a furnace repair guy, mortgage brokers, and the banks to try and make a square income slide flawlessly through a round list of expenses.

In my "spare" time, I stare at pix of the gurls here at HA and fantasize about spending time with them. Sometimes I post pithy comments.

Gaps are filled by marauding pussy on the roof, in the basement, under the porch, and in my lap.

I recently tried full retirement, which bored me out of my damn mind. I then tried to compromise with a partial retirement, which also bored me out of my damn mind – a serious drawback of ADD.. Consequently, I’m back to what I’ve done for years now: speculation. I speculate everything from foreign exchange (used to do this through a hedge fund), to stocks, to options, to energy futures. This means spending long hours in front of my computer trading, performing detailed analyses, watching media reports, and checking HA for distractions. When I’m not at my computer, I’m either working out or traveling to oversee some real estate project (the other thing I do, along with some partners). I also go out briefly to dine with friends and associates at least once a day, often twice. Since I work for myself, I work as many or as few hours a day as I chose (usually long hours). That’s my typical work day.

I'm an engineer, in between tenders at the moment so I spend 9-5 fucking around on Wikipedia and seeing how I can get illicit porn (ie anything remotely graphic) on my PC. then I come home and either Gym/rugby or look at porn. There is very little deviation.

I'm a webmaster (which incorporates web design, some graphic design, and web development) working anywhere from 5 to 12 hours/day depending on the current project list. Also an occasional photographer and accidental pornographer (though that falls under the webmaster heading).

What else does one do with an MA in English? ;)

Ecstatic, do you do any adult sites? Ive done a couple, and I always have to go through tons and tons of bullshit. I dont want to fuck anyone for a site, I wanna get paid. Ive got so many sites Ive done too, and then the people are too cheap to get the hosting. But hey, as long as I get mine, Im good

[SexyMagdi]

Its a rutine for me. I wake up go to college then get home do homework if any. Once Im done I do my exercises that work and shape my sexy body. hehehe then I shower, of course eat when needed. I either watch TV or surf the net. On the weekends I hang out with friends or go tot the mall or the movies. But there are sometimes different things, like go to the salon, or pic up some freinds to go hang out, or babysit.

[LBCDO]

I mean, this might sound like a crazy question, but Magdi, are you a TS or GG? Just asking, Im kinda confused.

And since you're in Puerto Rico, whats everyone listening to out there? Only reason I ask is because my best friend is a dj, and everyone has been playing the same songs for the past like 3 months

Im a TS sweety. Um Regeaton. its the Latino rap. I dont like it, its always the same beat and I barely understand anything the guys rapping about.

[Leverage87]

Well, for me, if I have slept the night before, either work with my pops, or go out looking for a new job, however, like today, I had nothing going on, so I was up all night last night and I feel like I got smacked in the head with a ballpeen hammer.

[LBCDO]

Yea, my boy spins reggaeton. In ATL we dont get the same music thats off the island, so we're left guessing. I have family there, but they live en campo, so they really arent that much house. Do you know a radio station that I can look up and try to hear whats playing? Any sites that everyone in PR is going to to see whats playing at the club? DeLaGhetto and Joel y Randy are the main artist being heard out here.

[peggygee]

No sorry sweety. I wish I could help but I dont listen to Reggaeton. And every club I go to thats what they are playing so I dont stay very long. Plus I dont score very much cause it seems there arnet that many guys or girls that are into TS's.

[LBCDO]

SHHIIIIITTTT, I would say a lot of my puerto rican [at least 50%] homeboys here in ATL are into TSs. And I usually find out from little slips. My best homeboy is from PR, and we were walking around Mexico and a TS called him into the car, and he was all ready to ride out, but another one of my friends clocked her and told him what was up and he tried to play it off.

Here in ATL is different I guess, but they do say that this is the new "Gay Capital". The club I go to every thursday is kinda mixed, Straight, Gay, and TS, but its supposed to be a straight night. And there really arent problems.

I got a boy that is from Naranjito who has a titi that is a TS, imma ask what clubs she goes to. I seen a picture of her and her friends at some club in PR. Ill let you know!

Yes indeed: my current hot project is piladyboy.com in cooperation with Aubrey from the Philippines. I'm proud of what we've done so far on the site, with updates every two weeks (and often every week). And look for some major photography to hit piladyboy in the near future! Thailandladyboy.com is another site I've done, and a hot new site is coming soon (I'll be posting more on that shortly, but a hint is it features one of the top ladyboys in Thailand).

I've done some photoshoots for Shemale Yum and quite a few private shoots for girls. I've also done a few small sites for individual girls, but frankly that usually doesn't pay and isn't worth the hassle. Girls who ask for 300 roses in donation balk at even $50/hour for design work.

Most of my clients though are strictly mainstream: I'd say 85% of my business is mainstream.

[Ecstatic]

Ecsatatic what do you use for software? Dreamweaver??
I primarily code in Homesite, which is strictly code: I hate WYSIWYG editors, which are cumbersome and have a huge cpu/memory footprint. However, Dreamweaver is by far the best of the WYSIWYG editors, and I use it for one of my clients (a bank). In fact, Dreamweaver incorported Homesite as its coding engine back when Macromedia acquired Allaire (and now, of course, Adobe has acquired Macromedia, but the coding engine is still Homesite). Sadly, Homesite is no longer being developed; it was effectively EOL'd back in 2001. The best alternative today is TopStyle (which actually was the original Homesite, back before it was acquired by Allaire), or BBEdit on the mac (but I use a PC, except for cross-platform testing).

Other software I use extensively: vi (yep, in a UNIX shell, very useful for quick edits on the server); Photoshop (of course); Arles Image (for building photo galleries); NameWiz (for quick renaming of 100s of files). For server-side programming I'm primarily a PHP guy, but I have a few clients using ASP and Cold Fusion. I use MySQL and phpMyAdmin for db admin. I'm ok with Javascript, but not expert by any means. I write basic SQL, but my in-house db consultant is my wife, who's a software engineer.

Wake up around 9:30, stretch for 30 minutes, ride a stationary bike for another 30. Usually work from home or catch a train to NYC if there are meetings to attend. I run the operating side of my family's foundation. Deals with troubled kids in Ct. Got a phone attached to my ear for 6 hours a day.

[dan_drade]

I am a network consultant, so while I dont get to sleep in till noon, I do get to sleep till around 8:00 or 8:30. I check my e-mail and reply to them if i have to. Somtimes I do a little online reaserch, maybe login to HA to see what is going on and then leave the house sometime between 9:00 and noon. I drive about 100 miles a day, so I only actually work for about 5 hrs. I usually get home between 5:00 and 7:00. I go to the gym after I get home, although I don't get there near as much as I should. Then I usually go see my girl or just go home and space out on the TV. To me it is a lot better than sitting behind a desk for 8 hours. I think I would go nuts if I had a job like that.

It depends. For quick edits, the "Design" mode in Dreamweaver can be nice, and lots of designers prefer to layout a page roughly in Design mode and then refine the layout in Code mode. I've been working with html since 1994, so I can visualize the way the code is going to look pretty easily, and if you're working with a staging server or even "without a net" on a production server (lots of my clients don't have a separate staging server), then it's quick to preview in a browser, which is what you need.

Overall, I'd say that WYSIWYG is faster for quick edits and rough layouts (but this depends on your coding skill level), and code view is better for precision and "codesweeping" to keep the page clean. Too many websites are overloaded with unnecessary "sphagetti" code thanks to WYSIWYG-only editing, so even if you prefer the Design mode, I recommend codesweeping in Code mode afterwards.

BTW, when I started, the so-called Netscape Extensions had just been introduced, IE was a gleam in Bill Gates' eye, and HoTMetaL was the cutting-edge program. ;)

There are two career paths to web design/development: the designer path and the programmer path. Designers tend to work as you do, laying everything out in Photoshop and slicing and dicing. Programmers tend to work in code only (I know one guy who claims to only use vi to create and edit web pages...yuck). Designers tend to make very attractive sites but often lack functionality, while programmers tend to make very vanilla sites with awesome functionality. The ideal of course is to mix the two. I have one foot in design and one in development, and try to integrate the two.

You'll love php once you get accustomed to it. It's extremely flexible and powerful, and much friendlier than ASP or ASP.NET. You can get deep into application development with php (which I've only done to a point), but you can use a lot of great features with very little learning curve: include files, time and date stamps, conditional content, powerful form functions. Great stuff, and a lot of it is easy to pick up.[/code]

[LBCDO]

Yea, I doubt that my designs are top of the line in functionality. Thats because Im limited. Im trying to figure out how to just design my site, set it up, then if I want to update I just add to a tableor something like that, because I kjnow a lot of big sites arent designing new pages for every update.

[BeardedOne]

Thailandladyboy.com is another site I've done, and a hot new site is coming soon (I'll be posting more on that shortly, but a hint is it features one of the top ladyboys in Thailand).

Ah, that answers a lot of questions. :wink:

Been there, did that. I feel your pain. Bonus points: I found a guy that was willing to work for comics! :) That's not cheap pay either, he collected damned near everything so I handed over about $20k a year in wholesale merchandise to him under our agreement (But he worked all hours with no complaint and knew the biz inside and out).

What you want is a templated site. Templates run the gambit from very simple templates using a few "include" files for common elements (e.g., a top nav, a side nav, and a footer component which are used on all pages, so there's only a single file to edit rather than hardcoding all the pages and having to edit them all when you make a change) to very complext templates which conditionally combine any of dozens or even 100s of elements based on the logic of the site and script, and which can be code snippets, database components, or a combination (such as this forum, though such sites can be far more complex than phpBB, the forum software).

For most small to moderate sized sites, a basic template is all you need. In your site topology, include an "include" directory where all the common (shared) files are stored. Then, in your code, you can "include" these files:


<?php include("topper.php"); ?>

If you have access to your php.ini file, you can edit the include path to find this directory, or you can include a code snippet at the top of each page to do the same:


<? ini_set("include_path", ".:/home/www/mysite/include:".ini_get("include_path")); ?>

Then you don't need to worry about absolute vs. relative pathing for your includes; regardless of where in your site a page appears, the includes will be found because php reads the include path first (the code snippet above sets this specific path ahead of all others, which can be useful if you're serving multiple sites on the same server). If you don't edit the include path, you will need to maintain relative linking to the include files, which can be tricky, as for example:


<?php include("../../../include/topper.php"); ?>

Anyway, your template could include a file for the top of the page (logo, nav bar, etc.); a side nav column; and a footer. I also find it very useful to set an initial file which sets up the basics of all pages:


<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<head>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="PRAGMA" CONTENT="NO-CACHE">
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Expires" CONTENT="-1">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<meta name="distribution" content="international" />

<meta name="classification" content="Your Category Here" />
<meta name="author" content="Your Name Here">
<link href="/include/styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

Since PHP is top-down processing, this file is included either first on the page, or directly under the ini_set if present. Thus all pages will share these elements, and you only have to edit one page to make changes. Note that the head tag opens in this file, but does not close; instead, I would close the head tag on each page separately, following that page's unique title tag and any other unique head content (such as JavaScript or CSS settings).

Once you've set up your template, you can easily and quickly create new pages by adding unique content to the template and saving it as a new file, and you can make site-wide changes by simply editing the include files and CSS stylesheet.

Just a few basic tools which you might find interesting.
