For a living I've done Java (both server-side and Android apps), C++, Python, and Objective C (iPhone programming). On side-projects I've also dabbled in frontend, doing HTML, CSS, and Javascript. Definitely can't make a good living out of those yet.

(And yes, while Python will make you hate Java, hunting down memory leaks in C++ will make you respect it, but maybe not love it.)

This was linked to on Twitter, so... it seems reasonable something happened.

But who knows what.

Join the Mumble server, and then choose the channel corresponding to the class you want and your skill level. Then Noona et al will start organizing teams, where each team has at least one coach, and you'll be whisked off to a server for some hot 6v6 action.

Never again.

The IT Crowd is excellent and was on Netflix last I checked.

If you like cartoons Archer is good right now, and Harvey Birdman Attorney at Law was taken off the air way too soon. (Voice acting by Stephen Colbert and Gary Cole, Lewis Black showed up a few times... So good.)

This looks awesome. My only thought is that "High Rollers Gaming vs. Apocalypse Gaming" in the title is redundant since that's pretty obvious from the image. You could replace that with the name of the map that's being played. (Looking back, why is that always missing... huh.)

Maybe a good way to fit everything could be:
upper-left: ESEA week X + map name + start time
upper-right: cameraman + casters
center: teams/rosters
lower left: esea logo
lower right: tf.tv logo

Again, it looks really good!

I was going to make them the same color as the body text... But then I realized that I didn't even have the photoshop skills to do that, so I just used half of each image >.<

I'm pretty much the last person you'd ever want using photoshop, but I messed around with it and tried to make it feel tighter. Here's what I've got:

Start by going to 6:06 and watching HRG vs mix^.

It's like the video was shot in the style of Garry's Mod. And he reminded me of the heavy.

I played in my first mixes last night and had a total blast! It was very well organized and the coaches were very helpful. I learned a lot. Thanks to all who contributed their time and resources to this! Definitely looking forward to next time.

I just kinda lurk here.

You can read about the solution here:

Loaded up some 1080 videos on YouTube and it seemed to go significantly faster. (Note that this probably only makes Twitch VODs faster, unless somehow live-streaming also goes through the CDN?) Here's the short explanation of how it works:

Hope it helps.

Assuming you're considering website design as building web apps like tf.tv and not just static web pages, there's really two parts: The frontend, which is all the HTML/CSS/JavaScript you see, and the backend, which handles requests from the web browser and reads/writes the database.

For the frontend, start with HTML/CSS and ignore JavaScript for now. What you'll be doing won't really be programming, which may feel weird. I've heard amazing things about http://www.amazon.com/HTML-CSS-Design-Build-Websites/dp/1118008189. Long ago I learned HTML from http://www.amazon.com/HTML-XHTML-CSS-Sixth-Edition/dp/0321430840, and I still swear that the best book to learn CSS from is http://www.amazon.com/CSS3-Missing-David-Sawyer-McFarland/dp/1449325947.

For the backend, you should build on your experience in Python. My go-to web framework for Python is Flask because it's so damn simple: http://flask.pocoo.org. The tutorial alone takes you through building a small micro-blogging site like Twitter: http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/tutorial/introduction.

As for w3schools.com, yeah it's free. But it's more like a reference, and when it comes to accuracy, you're getting what you pay for...

All good. Looking at https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/String it seems that string_t is just a typedef for char *, so you need to be careful.

Another thought is that you should replace sprintf with snprintf, which takes a size parameter and will avoid buffer overflows. (I'm tellin ya man, ya gotta look out for them.) You could rewrite the code above to:

#define BUFFER_SIZE 1024

char *buffer = (char*)malloc(BUFFER_SIZE);
int length = snprintf(buffer, BUFFER_SIZE, "%c%d:%d:%s", WSPacket_PlayerDeath, victim, attacker, STRING(weapon));

That way if whatever the string format gets expanded to is greater than BUFFER_SIZE, then the end of the text is truncated. The client getting incomplete data is better than the server crashing.

Also, log the hell out of everything. When you get crashes and need to figure out what happened, they're your only resource. You want to be able to trace what happened up to the crash.

Okay, that's all from me... Good job so far, and good luck!
