lessons planned

These are the things I learn everyday. Some are simple, some are a bit more complex but they're all interesting to me and I hope to you too. They'll mainly revolve around Audio, Video and Design but I'm sure they'll be some random items in there as well.
Ask me anything

Download the file from a URL ending in .mp3/.wma or whatever

Just add “?dl=1” to the end of the URL and it forces the browser to download it.  Who knew?  (lots of people except me)

Using CSS to change font size

CSS Font Size

You can manipulate the size of your fonts by using values, percentages, or key terms. Using values are useful if you do not want the user to be able to increase the size of the font because your site will look incorrect if they did so. Percentages are great when you want to change the default font, but do not want to set a static value.

CSS Code:

p { font-size: 120%; } 

ol{ font-size: 10px; }

ul{ font-size: x-large; }

Display:

This is a font size of 120%

  1. This is a font size of 10px
  • This is a font size of “x-large”

Though key terms are not very useful, the common terms are: xx-large, x-large, large, medium, small, x-small, and xx-small.

How to steal like an artist 

This always makes me feel better about the things I create.

Create a slideshow with After Effects. 

Nothing too fancy but you always have the option of spicing it up.  I found it helpful when working with a number of photos and not have to go through them one by one.

What's with all the noise?? 

Got pictures with lots of noise because you shot them at ISO 3200 under a streetlamp, in the middle of the night, in rural Missouri, as you were running from a semi-trailer truck?  Me neither.

You should try out Noise Ninja, it’s pretty amazing!
