Shame I suck at programming I'm a full-time, professional web developer - JavaScript (jQuery and AngularJS), HTML5, CSS3, Ruby on Rails, and some NodeJS, WordPress, DotCMS, Liferay, and a bunch of other crap. I also do some web and graphic design. If I could get some people to tell me what they need, I could build it.

Tatum Girlparts posted:Also I enjoyed that apparently they have beef with Stormfront? In the last page or so someone over there implies the shooter was being paid (by...someone...for something?) and there's like five "HEH TAKES ONE TO KNOW ONE" so I guess Stormfront is the pussy level of neo nazis to these dudes?  slapfight going on banning each other from their respective sites for not being white nationalist enough. They're taking a nice cue from freepers by labeling this incident as a false flag because only one Jewish person was actually killed and shouting 'Heil Hitler' isn't something you totally would do if you were a goddamn Nazi

Easiest way to accomplish the secondary goal there would be limit how the programs handle their inputs. Last time I checked, Dems use Hadoop and GOP/Tea Party uses Oracle. Of course most campaigns use excel for everything so... I have a training background in project management, though I am far from being PMP certified (I have like 4 of the requires hours). I could coordinate it, but I think we would need to pause and examine some legal stuff first so we don't eventually run into the issue the IT side of Occupy did

I'm a django dev and I figure the project will almost definitely be some horrible PHP mess so I'll probably contribute LAMP stack deployment/administration.

I can't program, but if this project amounts to anything I'll definitely bring it up to the local state rep candidate at her trivia night. It could be in some kind of wiki-thing! Actually that reminds me, I went to a meeting of the Missouri Progressive Action Group (very blue webpage: http://www.mopag.info) and the elderly chairman showed off his new "smartphone thing".  Edit: One of the no-chance candidates there was an older lady who brought cookies with blue icing, for which she apologized that it was her first time icing cookies, but they were still good! Everybody should go to local group meetings. PerniciousKnid fucked around with this message at 23:43 on Apr 14, 2014 |

I just discovered something and I thought that I might share it with this thread because its pretty funny. I've been bored the last wee while and ended up using wikipedia to search for random articles in other languages. Apparently; the Latvians translate Newt Gingrich's name... as Ņūts. Quite appropriate, I think... e: drat, my link isn't working, probably because of the special characters. Go to his page on English wikipedia and click on "Latviešu" is the language tap to see my source... IceAgeComing fucked around with this message at 23:50 on Apr 14, 2014 |
