Dreamhavenstudios.com is Getting a New Look

// April 28th, 2012 // No Comments » // Joomla, Tech, Web

At Rigler Digital we (we as in Shavaun and I) are happy to work with Dreamhavenstudios.com and give them a killer website designed in the CMS Joomla. Yes, I am a big fan of Joomla and I’ve blogged about the CMS before. WHY? Because it works on every browser with ease EVERY browser and the latest designs work on mobile devices. Browsers and mobile devices. Yea right? Designing in Dreamweaver in CSS is great. Making bulletproof websites is possible but not having the endless testing is a benefit to me. I can focus on the content and make it look great. So check back soon as I post their new site. Dreamhavenstudios.com is owned By artist/director Mark Teague

Google’s Play Cloud Computing and Competition for iTunes?

// March 28th, 2012 // No Comments » // Google, Tech, Web

Google has another new feature “Google Play” a quick overview reveals it is a media aggregator in the cloud. Cloud computing at it’s finest for media junkies. It’s Google’s alternative to Apple’s iTunes. It’s clean. It’s simplicity is it’s best feature. You have the following categories: my music, my movies, my books, my android apps.

If they keep their pricing low and competitive, this will be so phenomenally successful. I’m surprised Google hasn’t called their sign in page, My G-Life. Now with g-mail, and all of google’s business apps (within the cloud mind you) you won’t want to leave. Google is the Las Vegas of cloud computing.

How will the New iPad Screen Affect my Website?

// March 23rd, 2012 // No Comments » // Apple, Dreamweaver, Tech, Web

Talking again about the “Feature” the amazing retina display for the new iPad.  While playing games such as Angry Birds the display is great, but how about my website that was originally designed at 1024 x 768?  The iPad is at 2,048-x-1,536-pixel display.  And if you designed your site at the 800 x 600 format– uh forget about it.  Of course there is the option of pinching with your fingers to zoom in, that may help. Would you design your business’s site to fit the New iPad dimensions.  Or do you ride it out until more products use a display at such a high level.  As of now I still will design at 1024 x 768 pixels – if the majority of screens reach iPads’ 2,048 x 1536 then yes I will redesign myself and recommend all of my customers to use this new dimension as the standard.

The release of iPad3 Reviewed and Happy Saint Patrick’s Day!

// March 17th, 2012 // No Comments » // Apple, Tech

Apple released the New iPad yesterday right on time for Saint Patrick’s Day!  The FEATURE well one of the only features you really need to see and you will is the Retina Display. The iPad features 2048×1536 pixels, which is close to  3.1 million pixels packed into a 9.7-inch screen. You’ll burn your eyes out looking at the clarity of this iPad.  Amazing this is more resolution than my HDTV.  If you watch your Netflix on your iPad you will love it on this new one.  How about a round of Angry Birds anyone?  Speaking of games if you love gaming on your iPad you will enjoy: ”The A5X chip with quad-core graphics drives four times the pixels of iPad 2 yet it delivers the same smoothness and fluidity iPad is known for. Even with all that extra oomph, the new iPad still gets an amazing 10 hours of battery life.”  - -Apple The camera now shoots 1080p HD and 4G LTE.  Can you really blame the people waiting in line.

• You have to manually install Java–click here to fix it.
• The windows restore in Mac OS Lion is causing issues
• Flash uhh forget about it.
