After seeing neography.com's CSS3 transition galaxy I couldn't help but rewrite it using javascript so that it would work in browsers other than Chrome or Safari. Eventually Firefox (maybe IE?!) will support CSS3 transitions and animations as well, but for now, we need a javascript implementation.
I still have work to do on the satellites (moons, rings, etc) so it's a work in progress for now.
After the disaster I mentioned in the last article, I figured the least I could do, for now, is redo some of the CSS3 examples, and get them completed. Over the next week or so, I plan to get all of them up and completed. For now the following have been updated:
nth-child() selector.Enjoy! More coming as often as I can muster!
So for the past month and a half I've been working on an update for the labs, the CSS3 and HTML5 examples, and a nice little wordpress plugin for reading in github projects, and creating code examples and displays so long as they were formatted according to the mootools structural format.
Now... it's all gone. For what ever reason, Zend Studio decided I didn't need any of my project files anymore, and it ate them. That's the only explanation I've got. They're just gone. I was pretty sure I had a backup, and guess what? Yea... I'm dumb. I'm feeling pretty devastated right now; it's very, very disheartening. The worse part is that I had just completed more than half of the CSS3/HTML5 demos, and now they're gone.
The saddest part of this whole sob story? I have a perfectly good subversion sever setup that I use for all my other sites. Why wasn't maveno.us in there? Fuck if I know... Anyway, this wasn't the post I had planned for this weekend, but here it is.
*sigh*
A friend of mine was asking about the effect I use for the social media icons in the sidebar here. I told him that's personal and I would prefer he not bring up such iniquitous filth in the polite company of my daughter. When I realized he was talking about my website, I figured I would apologize by writing up a quick article about it and some of the caveats I ran into.
