Black is Black[^]
If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams
You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein

Precious little Auntie has this article[^] on Rio's statue. It's not the statue itself that impressed me but also the tricks the website uses to navigate it. In particular the bit where scrolling up and down reveals and hides the lightning and interior of the statue. I've never seen that effect before. I found it quite clever.

It's called a "Parallax" effect. Simple to implement with jQuery, for instance.
Example of what you can do with that effect: Clickety[^]

Nice effects and great story

I've seen a similar effect where mousing left/right over an image swaps between two versions used for the last few years to show before/after images; typically when a disaster strikes somewhere.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Once again, easily implementable using jQuery: Clickety[^]

That goes without saying. 
If someone wanted to repwhore on QA, they could answer 99% of webdev questions correctly (but uselessly) with a bot that posted "Use JQuery." as an answer.

I normally don't do that, but I've seen the "Parallax" and "before/after" jQuery plugins lately and it was mostly to give a concrete example of what you two were talking about.

I was just snarking about how client side web development and jquery have became almost equivalent over the last few years.

True story!

I thought I was making some yoghurt but it went a bit far the other side. I now have a batch of házitúró that may or may not make it into a full fledged cheese.

I do all my own stunts!
I've been making my own yoghurt for a while now, I have a bowl of an evening with either fruit or honey [from a neighbour in Hungaryorszag] This is the first time I've 'curdled' it and I was going to throw it out but at the last moment decided to try and salvage it.
I have a recipe for a home made cheese that I should be able to do in just a day or two - twenty minutes preparing and the rest of the time maturing.
|
|
|
|
|
Just mix in some heavily flavored herbs (minced and mashed garlic, onion, chives, and the like), pour it all into some muslin, tie it off, and hang it up to drip/drain.
It will be a soft spreadable cheese like substance and taste nice on bread.
|
|
|
|
|
And the cheese eaters. I popped home for lunch and made a very quick snack of blue cheese, thinly sliced Bramley apple, pine nuts, cherry tomatoes, drizzle of very thick balsamic. T'was rather nice. It filled one corner. Our support chap from Sicily brought over some delicious choccies and that will fill another corner. So far, all things are well balanced. 
If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.

I had some pizza [left over] and coffee for my lunch. Might do some chocie bikies later. Why? Because I can.

Needs something... But what?
Of course! Bacon!

Quite correct! Alas, there has been no bacon in the house for many months. I get my "fix" at Full English Breakfast eateries in Horsham.

Go no further! Take your házitúró, scrap some lemon in, add a bit of raisins (preferably dipped into a bit of alcohol). Fill some palacsinta with that and enjoy...
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

He had so many palacsinta last week, I think not for now.

I was curious about making cheese after seeing this message. Found Step by step instructions[^].
Looking at the video clip for step 5, is it just me, or is that in insect crawling across the video on the right side? Not very appetizing!
