Re: Simpsons in CSS
#13This has been posted before (8 months ago): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6710863 But according to the git-commit log, in the last two weeks, he's added the blinking (the code for which is pretty cool)...and since the last submission, he's added Apu, Comic Book Guy, and Ralph Wiggum...so that definitely deserves a resubmit. Given that the blinking was the first difference I noticed...I would love to see Blinky…
Do they really send takedown notices to projects like this one?
You know what? I don't really know...and after doing some quick reflection, I think that knee-jerk assumption was based off of something I remember reading from the Simpsons Archive...which is probably the very first website I ever remember reading on a regular basis. From their About Page:
http://www.snpp.com/about.html
> The Simpsons Archive cannot accept sound or movie file submissions under any conditions. Our server traffic averages 24 gigabytes per month, and housing a large binary archive would boost bandwidth fees beyond affordable limits. Additionally, Twentieth Century Fox ruthlessly defends its copyrighted work by issuing Cease & Desist orders to fan sites housing said content. While we sympathize with those who have fallen victim to Fox, we prefer to avoid legal entanglements by steering clear of multimedia.
Otherwise, The Simpsons Archive gladly accepts all submissions in the form of fan-authored FAQs, lists, guides, news and other miscellaneous items. All authors retain full credit for their works and may update them within The Simpsons Archive as needed. We ask, however, that prospective maintainers be versed in basic HTML. For further details, please e-mail webmaster@snpp.com for our submission policies.
So Fox's aggressive C&D is maybe just for audio/video? The SNPP does have a very small sprinkling of Simpsons-artwork. And maybe Fox was more aggressive with C&D back in the day, like, 15-20 years ago, when SNPP was first starting out.

Comic Book Guy looks pretty screwed up on Safari. What browser/os was this guy targeting?
Re: Simpsons in CSS
#15use ctrl+ a few times to make everything larger - the eyelids start to close. Not sure how intentional that was, but it's sort of cool - gives the characters a completely different feel.
I'm pretty sure it's an animation that is there intentionally.

In my case, in Firefox they look slightly messed up, while in Safari they are getting closer to ugly: http://imgur.com/XzW1uJG
But then again, when it comes to CSS I've come to always expect that kind of bugs.

I wanted to post this myself, but feared the wrath of the downvoters - it might come across as a bit negative. However, I think the positives should be highlighted: SVG is really, really ideal for these kinds of graphics, and we should be trying to push the technology and be equally impressed with its results.
