  - New book: addiction a choice -- (link) - Beaker Jun 19, 17:37 7
    - See, that is half right, and half horse feces. - TFox Jun 19, 17:41 6
      - and doesn't addiction have a genetic component sometimes? -- nm - loosilu Jun 19, 17:43 1
        
        I'd believe that. (That's part of the reason why I choose not to drink alcohol.) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 19, 18:20
      - so I assume the half is for stuff like gambling (the non-drug stuff) -- nm - Beaker Jun 19, 17:41 3
        
        It sounds like what he is saying, at least how I read it, is that the desire to continue the behavior is very real; the inability to stop might not be - TFox Jun 19, 17:42 2
        
        that might be fair, but I think some people have such a strong physical addiction that no amount of desire can stop them. -- nm - loosilu Jun 19, 17:44 1
        
        yeah, some. and some others whose desire to stop is so non-existent that it has the same net effect. -- nm - TFox Jun 19, 17:45

      - Basic reporting, but it seems to be a bit behind as it says planes are taking off about 29 minutes late. - the liioulu who's going squish,squish,squish Jun 19, 17:28 2
        
        We just have to wait until this round of lightning stops. Maybe half an hour more? I don't have radar. It's not the worst ever. -- nm - mobile browsing loves mandy lane Jun 19, 17:38 1
        
        If you haven't already you should be taking off soon. According to radar it's mostly over the lake now. - the liioulu who's going squish,squish,squish Jun 19, 18:56

TTIS. Techie web-building types. I've mentioned this before, but I think we're ready to start making a move on a new website for the - MojaveMeg Jun 19, 16:50 46
- That crow canyon is pretty nice. We just redid ours... -- (link) - Dr.Vermin Jun 19, 17:04 4
  - yours is pretty nice, but I really really hate the scrolling menu. ;P -- nm - loosilu Jun 19, 17:07 2
    - I take no offense. That part was not my idea. :) - Dr.Vermin Jun 19, 17:14 1
      - oh jeez, that's the worst way to build it. Since I know you didn't build it, IMO, the menu really sucks and almost ruins the site. - loosilu Jun 19, 17:19
  - I have issues with the CC one. Most of the content is below the scroll. -- nm - loosilu Jun 19, 17:05
- For some reason, the library world is kind of into Drupal. I have no idea why. Maybe others can address it. -- (link) - mara Jun 19, 17:00 1
  - We're moving all our university pages to Drupal. The new HSX was Drupal, too. -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jun 19, 17:01
- this is not techie stuff, but I'm going to give you web strategy stuff (which is what I used to do). - loosilu Jun 19, 16:54 23
  - I'd guess the organization will be much as it is now, we just need to update the image. -- nm - MojaveMeg Jun 19, 16:58 18
    - I looked at it quickly and I think you need a reorganization. -- nm - loosilu Jun 19, 16:59 17
      - check out this one, I actually think it is better than Crow Canyon. -- (link) - loosilu Jun 19, 17:03 16
        
        That's the direction we're looking for. One of my biggest concerns is the print/no print option, and our ability to set that. -- nm - MojaveMeg Jun 19, 17:06 15
        
        not sure what you mean? -- nm - loosilu Jun 19, 17:07 14
        
        Wants some content read only. -- nm - the liioulu who's going squish,squish,squish Jun 19, 17:09 13
        
        my first question then is, are you sure you need that? who uses it and when would they use it? -- nm - loosilu Jun 19, 17:10 12
        
        Our newsletter and publications are posted for informational purposes, but if you want a hard-copy you have to subscribe. -- nm - MojaveMeg Jun 19, 17:13 11
        
        But various forms, membership & scholarship applications, order forms, etc., need to be printable. -- nm - MojaveMeg Jun 19, 17:15 2
        
        Before you go further... you're making the mistake of choosing the solution first. - loosilu Jun 19, 17:17
        
        ok, I would say forms should be PDF. -- nm - loosilu Jun 19, 17:16
        
        ok. you want to continue doing the hard copy or not? - loosilu Jun 19, 17:15 7
        
        Our only source of income is people buying the hard copy. That has to continue. - MojaveMeg Jun 19, 17:19 1
        
        anything you can view online is printable, I think, but I may be behind on the tech. - loosilu Jun 19, 17:22
        
        ps,. but the pdf is kind of a PITA to the users. -- nm - loosilu Jun 19, 17:15 4
        
        oh, posh. The hard part is, how do you make a pdf readable but not printable? I don't know how you do that. - Dr.Vermin Jun 19, 17:19 3
        
        We do it on our current site. If you go to any of the newsletters and most of the Quarterlies you'll see the print function is disabled. I just need - MojaveMeg Jun 19, 17:26 1
        
        that's what I get for assuming. - loosilu Jun 19, 17:28
        
        huh? why would you not want it to be printable? anyway, this is getting stuck in the weeds. Strategy first. -- nm - loosilu Jun 19, 17:21
  - That is the boringest advice in the whole world. - Loyola Jun 19, 16:57 2

    - The body of my msg sounds insulting. I used "you" in the general sense, not in the MojaveMeg sense. -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jun 19, 16:58 1
      - I understood - *I* don't know what an image tag is :) -- nm - MojaveMeg Jun 19, 17:03
    - and I would add, do the strategy before the design. -- nm - loosilu Jun 19, 16:56 2
      - Indeed. Form follows function. The prettiest webpage is useless if you can't find the info you need. - Mop (235 lbs) Jun 19, 16:57 1
        
        the big secret behind google is that they have an army of expert strategists and interface designers, and they test test test. -- nm - loosilu Jun 19, 16:58
    - absolutely. Never let a programmer do the design, and vice versa. There are a few people who can do both well, but most can do one or the other well. -- nm - loosilu Jun 19, 16:55 3
      - And remember, you've got ST to help you out. We can test, critique, and make fun of your site. - the liioulu who's going squish,squish,squish Jun 19, 17:02 2
