As far as I can remember in my life, like every music lover does, I’m relating specific songs or sometimes whole albums with events, places, emotions etc. Even working on a project is not an exception.
Recently, it came into my attention that in every project I’m working on, there are two albums that are always part of my playlist, so they can qualify to be called my projects’ soundtrack. On certain times in a project, especially when a lot of mental engergy and even fantasy is required, I find myself listening to those two albums because their music inspires me and provides me with a rhythm that helps me think without distracting me at all.
The fist one is from a Greek songwriter called Konstantinos Vita and it’s the music composed for Dimitris Papaioannou’s (the art director of the Athens 2004 Olympic Ceremony) theatrical production called “2″. Below is the video of his song called “Funky Beep”.
The other one is Moby‘s famous album called “Play”. Below is the video of his song called “Natural Blues”.
The “404″ or “Not Found” error message is an HTTP standard response code indicating that the client was able to communicate with the server but the server could not find what was requested (read more about the HTTP 404 error).
The motivation towards a custom 404 error page is to create a more (visually) appealing, usable and user-friendly page than the default (and dull) 404 error page of your Web server. The main reason to do it is to give the option to a user that landed on the error page to stick to the website. There’s nothing new about it but a lot of Web developers overlook or underestimate it.
There is a number of elements you can use in a custom 404 page:
First, an image or some text to explain to the user what happened. If the website’s visitors don’t have a technical background, a “404 error” message won’t explain anything to them, so try to explain it without any technical details. You can also have a humorous message or image. After all, an amused visitor is always better than a frustrated one!
A must have, is a link to the homepage so the user can have an alternative of closing the browser or re-typing a URL.
Another good idea is to include a search box.
You can also provide some links to popular or interesting content of your website.
It took me several seconds to write the title, but as time passes, I’m getting better at it!
It’s the first time I have one of these incredible machines in my hands and I’m excited. It’s an amazing feeling to have a powerful (for its size) PC that fits into your palm. There are amazing capabilities in them and the best thing is they can be carried everywhere. On the other hand, there are several privacy concerns but this is another (huge) discussion.
I was considering it an expensive and unuseful (at least for most of the people) trend. Maybe that’s still true, but every technology enthusiast out there should try it, at least once!
