ph3@r my 1337 web programming sk33lz!
It is all toxgunn's fault. I have started playing with Seamonkey doing website development because he gave me two domains for Christmas, www.funranium.com and www.funraniumlabs.com. I believe the exchange might have gone something like this:
P: "What's this?"
T: "Two domains for you."
P: "What do I do with them?"
T: "You make websites for them."
P: "The fuck do I know about making websites?"
T: "Oh, you needed another hobby anyway."
So, I am learning using the free and seemingly simple tools of Seamonkey, a bit of Mozilla software I didn't know exist until I had a urinal epiphany on Boxing Day that made me decide to see what the nice creators of Firefox might have thought up for me. Of course, making a website requires content and things graphical which has in turn demanded that I fire up the Adobe suite I've kept at terrified arm's length for years. It is a very steep learning curve and many are the buttons and fiddly bits that make me reach for the whiskey bottle to make the hurting go away. However, I have figured out how to create title banners worthy of a good heavy metal album. If LJ would let me upload photos, I'd share.
And thus, I start learning the hot must have job skills of 1997.

b) It'd be cooler if they were the hot job skillz of 1337, but maybe in the future the robotz will have a new numbering system that makes it zo.
c) Wanna do my site too? Well, it's actually the content I struggle with, since I ride on the back of wordpress, so maybe not. Nevertheless, I'll be fascinated to see what you come up with.

If you haven't scoped out Wordpress, do! It's really easy to roll a basic website, point your own domain at it, and then spend all the time you like fiddling with the pretty bits while having an easy, LJ-type interface to enter content in. Plus, it's MUCH nicer now than way back in the day when I started using it.
