Bites to reality.

The mobile site is alive! Well, there is a lot of stuff to be done, but I guess the major components in the desktop site have been implemented. Actually svbtle has a nice mobile theme which is consistent with its desktop site. But since I am about to learn js, I just follow the book that I read to build this UI and hopefully add some js functions later.

In all, now it is just a different CSS file for the mobile version plus a very simple js function on the menu button. It will detect the screen size and decide whether to use desktop CSS or mobile CSS (you can even see the mobile version in your desktop browser by minimizing its size). I use the same library the book uses, jQuery. It gets interesting; I shall update this mobile site pretty soon.

Try it out yourself!

Maybe worth noting: first one is always ugly.

Day 1

Make the site work with ugly ugly html (yes, even without css). Hit me.

what I learn:

Pre-production: pencil, paper, eraser.

Navigation and layout, by information architecture.

Simplify the content.

Hopefully I could convert the site into a prototype today.

3157244022 is not a fishing number

Just want everyone who receives a call from 3157244022 to calm down and know that, no, 3157244022 is not a fishing number.

The story:

I got an email yesterday indicating that my account in BOA has irregular activities recently and need me to check out. I did nothing. Today’s morning I got a call from 3157244022, saying the same thing and asked me about several recent transaction and some personal information.

Since it came after the official email and the man was able to provide details of my transactions, I cooperated with him. However, after the call, when I googled this number, 3157244022, first several results are all saying it is a fishing scam.

As an international student who just arrived US for several months, I of course freaked out. Then I called the official number printed on my debit card to check if I was really fucked up. HOWEVER, the representative I spoke with confirmed my irregular activities and clearly stated that “3157244022 is not a fishing number; it is our number”. Everything is fine.

This sets me a relief. Thank god it is not a fraud. But it alerts me about such things; I think I will be more aware of those in the future.

When I think about this, I realize that it would be better to post something to let others who happen to be in the similar situation as me know that 3157244022 is actually, instead of the fishing number as google says, a totally official number.

I hope it helps.
