Title: Recommendations for website template sites? (Forum)
Submitted: November 30th, 2010 - 10:09am
I have a bunch of small personal projects that I'd like to look better. I've looked at some online template websites, but they seem to be a dime a dozen, and most seems like rebrands or knockoffs of each other. Also, most of the designs look very generic, and the 10k designs are really 5 different color variations of each design.
Does anyone have recommendations for high-quality template websites? I'm not looking for rock bottom prices, and I know I'm not getting custom-design quality, but I figure there has to be something better out there than what I've seen.
Thanks!
Title: Your favorite database web-backend? (Forum)
Submitted: November 3rd, 2007 - 3:10pm
I figure there's enough web developers on here to have some interesting recommendations and anecdotes. Anyone have a favorite database for a web-backend? Any that you despise? Any fun experiences worth mentioning?
I've used a bunch of the old standards in my time (SQL Server, MySQL,PostgreSQL, SQLite, etc) and I'm wondering what everyone else uses.
How about Firebird? Interbase? Lesser known DB's?

You can get a good quad-core desktop for around $400-500. Most recent deal I've seen:

HP Refurbs at their outlet... they have Core i7's for as low as $486, like this one:

I wouldn't spend more than $600, and I'd aim probably more around $400. Then spend $200 on a nice 24" LCD, and you're set. I wouldn't recommend Dell, they have some terrible tech. support and reliability issues. Good luck.
I pass by there all the time, I'll have to go check it out. I know that place just to the east, always has cars parked out front. Never noticed Java Madness.
And those Java Madness people should get a google map on their site. Having to retype an address from a gif? Old school! :)
