Homestarrunner.com Subliminal Message

I just found a subliminal message in one of the strongbad emails. It was the virus episode, which is old. Watch it first to refresh your memory

It happens when Homestar tries to fix the “computer box” and all the popups show up. I became suspicious when I noticed that every time a popup showed up Homestar said “making” but as time went on it got muddy and overlapped. It ended with an echo of “awesome” At first I was thinking “making” was referring to all the popup windows (within the flash) and was part of the cartoon

BUT: one popup was a real Firefox window (p.s: Firefox doesn’t block that popup and IE does). It contained a flash of what Homestar was saying. I couldn’t refresh it and the window was not sizeable, so I couldnt see the URL of it. Well I like to snoop in places that aren’t open to the public, and wanted to see the popup page in a real browser window and look at the flash on it. So I opened the page again with IE and found the URL of the popup link in my temp internet files. I played it and was surprised.

In reality, the “popup” is…

Very interesting…

Wow, it’s been over a month since my site was last updated. And what a great day for portfolioso.com to be back online: the one year anniversary, and my birthday! Well, sorry that I bored all of you by not updating for over a month. I missed it a lot – there’s so much to write about.

I’ve been so busy with school work and never got a chance to fix some minor things that needed attention, which is why it took so long. But now all is well, so I finally got a chance to fix things gradually throughout the month. The forums still need a little work, but they’re almost ready. It won’t be long! Don’t forget to sign up and leave comments (not the same as your forum login)

Watch John’s latest flash animation. It’s the entire “crew” dancing around and is extremely hilarious. Nice work.

Yet another example of why Internet Explorer is BAD… I never use it, so when I do html and php, everything looks excellent in Firefox. Then I look at my site in IE every once in a while and notice things are messed up. IE really is a pain. This is like the 20th time I had to fix my site because it wasn’t displaying properly in IE.

So what was wrong? The comments section looked horrible. In Firefox, each comment was in a grey box on the black background. In Internet Explorer, every single comment was mashed together and ugly. There was no easy way to distinguish. So I had to waste 20 minutes redoing the php and html to make it work in both browsers. GRR. Well it’s fixed now and is all pretty, so that’s all that counts.

I also tweaked the php code to make it easier for me to read and edit. Oh and I need to fix one more minor IE bug where there is an extra line break above the search box.

Edit: Fixed the search box bug in IE. It was a bitch, but it is all happy now!
