I have a hypothetical situation for you. 2:21 pm

I have a hypothetical situation, and I need some help in determining the outcome. That’s where you come in.

First off in this hypothetical situation, let’s pretend that you know somebody who’s in the middle of building an AJAX-powered slideshow app that would be great for including a simple slideshow on a page or blog. And say, hypothetically, that he’s taking opinions on features that are 100% necessary in a slideshow application. Remembering, of course, that the goal is to keep things simple this time around.

Now lets continue even further with this hypothetical situation. Lets say that the so-called hypothetical designer/developer in question sucks at thinking up names for things.

Of course, we also must realize that by giving any help in this situation we also give all rights to whatever help is given to this perhaps not-so-hypothetical designer/developer.

So uh..what advice would you give in a hypothetical situation like this?

    I’m not at liberty to say. I don’t want to give you rights to my answer. :D LOL. Hope you find your hypothetical answer.

    Let’s say I gave you a hypothetical answer from a hypothetical crystal ball from which I received from a hypothetical birthday. Would this mean that a hypothetical situation I would hypothetically receive credit for my hypothetical answer?

    Presentiate, SlickShow, Slidr, Glideshow, or… ask Web Two Point Oh.

    Elliot,

    Hit me up via IM and I can help your Hypothetical designer/developer with a hypothetical name for a non-existant slide show thingy-ma-jig.

    I can’t think of any hypothetical answers to your hypothetical questions.. :)

    Dinki: the slide show that smokes, blows up, explodes, and does everything but work

    That will really sell :D

Say Something.





I'm a nice guy, so I'll let you use basic XHTML such as <a>, <strong>, <em>, <blockquote>, and <code>. If you're trying to share some code with us, just make sure to run it through Postable first.
