dotaplays Changelog - v0.01

This is an apology post. An apology for not posting when I promised to post every other day in my recent post. So here's an update to what I've been working on this week. It's pretty difficult to stay on track of these blog posts when I have a full-time job and can only dedicate a few hours each day in the evenings to code. So please forgive me for preferring to code a little bit more rather than blog about what I've been developing.

So now I will promise to update weekly on the status of this project. And since it's still not ready for release just yet, I will start the changelog version at 0.01.

Here's the latest changelog for dotaplays (v0.01):
  • Submission now works
    • Can submit either the entire GFYCAT link or just the unique identifier of the gfycat URL
    • Detects NSFW content using the GFYCAT "nsfw" flag
    • Detects empty strings
    • However, there is simply no way for me to know whether or not a submitted GFY is related to Dota or not, unless I want to restrict all submissions to GFYs from the /r/dota2 subreddit
  • Mobile now uses media queries to get a better experience
    • Still a lot more work to do obviously because the page content has yet to be finalized
  • Added a section for possible ads
  • Fixed video sizing and re-implemented the pause/play canvas from GFYCAT embed script
  • Resized various images / icons
  • New logo / favicon

On a side note, I absolutely love changelogs. It takes me back to my childhood when I would read the latest patch notes from World of Warcraft.

Jooble

Yesterday, I received an incredibly friendly email from an anonymous person who claimed to have read my blog and "loved it." Of course, because my blog is public and anybody can comment anonymously, I was a bit skeptical of this email. Yet, seeing as how this was the first ever "fan mail" I've ever received, I read the email. It wasn't fan mail, but it was an email from a person who works for a website called " Jooble ." Interested by his genuineness and heartfelt compliments of my blog, I took a quick glance at the website. Here's what he had to say about Jooble: Jooble operates in 45+ countries, so if you would like to find a job in other locations you may try to search jobs in: Argentina , Australia , Austria , Belgium , Belarus , Brazil , Canada , Chile , China Colombia , Czech Republic , Denmark , Spain , Finland , France , Germany , Greece , Hong Kong , Hungary , Italy , India , Indonesia , Ireland , Japan , Kazakhstan , Mexi...

Connect With Me

This is a story about two best friends. They were the grow up like brothers kind of best friends. The chase girls together kind. The never rat the other out kind. The always true to each other thick and thin kind. You know what I mean. They were inseparable. One was named Adam, the other Bill. Adam was an artist. He loved all forms of art--film, paint, photo, everything. If it was created or captured, chances are, he's seen it. He kept a journal of his thoughts and mostly kept to himself--and, of course, Bill. He was what you might call a shy guy. Following his passions, he went to art school and graduated with an excellent education and a renewed passion for his art. Bill was a business man. He loved money, making deals, and shaking hands. If it was profitable or had even the slimmest chance of making money, chances are, he's done it. He rarely stays still and is constantly out and about. At the local bar, the club, restaurant, wherever the new hot spot was. He was what yo...

Hangeul or Hangul

Here's the link for the Wikipedia entry for "Hangeul." Now here's the link for the Wikipedia entry for "Hangul" (Without the "e") Notice anything similar? Of course you do, they both point to the same entry! Now why is that? It's because there is no real set romanization of the Korean language. Or at least one that is universally accepted in South Korea. Why does this matter? Korean is a language with an alphabet, there shouldn't be a need for romanization right? Just learn some 한글 and be done with that! To hell with the Latin script! But that's really not good for foreigners. Are you Korean? Can you read 한글? If not, then those two characters mean nothing to you. Only if I tell you that those two characters are read like "hangeul" or "hangul" can you begin to pronounce the word. Romanization is an essential step for foreigners in learning a foreign language. Take two examples, the Chinese pinyin , and the ...
