Vitaflo 8. Respect. Lines and Colours. Hidden (from me at least) elements. From this eye (the left one) it is an expansive and daring, maybe refreshing, use of colour. Blew me away really. Also: Vitaflo turns four soon. Like I was saying: Respect.

Doesn't work (actively refuses) with NN 4.7 - is it really worth upgrading for?

By: bruyneel

bruyneel — Mon, 30 Apr 2001 23:23:53 -0800

Okay, that's bad. Vitaflo. It is Vitaflo. I am truly sorry for both times. Stupid. If whoever fixes those things could fix those things for me, that would be so nice. Thank you.

andrew, try Opera or the free K-Meleon.

And yeah, I think it is worth the upgrade. It seems to go on and on.

it loops, but the lines are just as pleasant the second time around.

Am I the only one who can see the point of that site? ??

What happened to the last four hours? I think 28 H gave me a seizure. And I liked it. I think.

ok, K-Meleon's pretty cool. thanks, hobbes. but did i really need to upgrade for a bunch of lines? is that really possible in old browsers? ;-/ (back in NN to post as k-meleon seems to ignore cookies...)

Friends don't let friends use NN 4.7. Hell, I wouldn't suggest my enemies use it, either. For crissakes, man, ugrade to something.

its a personal site, he can be rude to whoever he wants, really are we supposed to hassle anyone who forgets to close a table tag as well? :) btw i have an assembler.org t-shirt :P

its a personal site, he can be rude to whoever he wants, really sure he can, but it's still rude. I think matt ought to add something to the MeFi Guidelines banning the blink tag.

By: vitaflo

vitaflo — Tue, 01 May 2001 08:38:51 -0800

I'm certainly not trying to be rude, but at the same time, I thought that it's about time to move away from non-standards compliant browsers...at least on my personal sites. I hate "this site does not support this browser" messages as much as anyone else, but I personally feel it might be about the right time to use a browser that's less than 3 years old. These are just my personal opinions of course (YMMV). Anyway, as for the site itself....For those that like it, thank you. For those that don't, thank you. Better to get some sort of reaction or comment, than nothing at all.

Danelope — Tue, 01 May 2001 09:09:31 -0800

are we supposed to hassle anyone who forgets to close a table tag as well? Yes. Forgetting to close table tags has nothing to do with standards compliance and everything to do with stupidity. If you're going to render your site invisible to a segment of the Internet population, at least do it intentionally and with "good" reason.

All I see is a bunch of colored lines. I was doing that on my TRS-80 back in 1984. 10 pmode 4,1:screen 1,1:pcls 20 for x = 0 to 128 40 line (0,x) - (255,x),pset 50 color rnd(4),0 60 next x 100 goto 100 Am I missing something here? Is there something else or did the emperor just get another new suit?

Vitaflo - I may not know art, but I know what I like. Your site ain't it. I'm glad I didn't "upgrade" at home just to see a bunch of lines (had to check it at werk). Thanks for nothing.

By: annathea

annathea — Tue, 01 May 2001 12:47:52 -0800

What does it do? I just see lines. I click, nothing happens. I view source - still don't get it. What am I missing?

By: annathea

annathea — Tue, 01 May 2001 12:51:54 -0800

Well, I guess there is very faint movement/color change within the lines, though that could just be an acid flashback. Overall, I love the colours, but I'm afraid I'm still with the "don't get it" crowd.

By: canoeguide

canoeguide — Tue, 01 May 2001 13:34:58 -0800

Seems like everyone expects it to "do" something... maybe you're supposed to do something with it? By the way...click the upper left corner...

By: vitaflo

vitaflo — Tue, 01 May 2001 14:27:56 -0800

Lynsey, You're welcome. Also I'd like to point out, right now if you're on IE5.0 PC the links don't work. It's in the way I coded it. I need to change that, but I don't have FTP access available right now. As far as what it does and what you may or may not be missing, just take away from it what you want, and leave the rest (but I do like canoeguide's adventurous spirit).

Thanks Vitaflo. I agree that people should be updating their web browsers. Is this worth updating for? Well, that's a personal call naturally. From my perspective, if this is the only thing on the net would improve or that you would gain if you updated your browser I would say "Ok, no, see it from a friend's computer" I think that there would be a fair few benefits arising from an update, but again we may not share that view. I think this is wonderful, kaleidoscopic......

it's weird, but we've actually been working on the exact same thing over at K10k ... we just haven't found out what we were going to use it for ... it's a very lovely effect newcool1 and newcool2

mschmidt: Those pages are quite nice, it takes sometime to load (on a 56.6 kbps connection) but I like the fact that the animation is smooth and not something that would give someone a seizure.

for those of you who haven't solved (or aren't aware of) the vitaflo.com puzzle...pay attention to letters and numbers...there's an order to everything. if i can figure it out, so can you. and believe me...it's pretty cool and also rewarding.

how about a hint?

By: crunchland

Well, ok. I admit that there's more to it than I thought. But not much.
