The PDF function really shows you how useful it is to make web pages "properly" with all display control moved to CSS. That, combined with php's pdf functions probably made that little link really easy to create. Just basically dump the html right into the pdf.

Joel got my vote designing the Fantasy FIRST template.
The guy is a genius.

JOEL ROCKS!

Haha, I knew that picture would come back, thanks Joe. :D

Re: Joel Rocks
 

I actually remember taking note of both of those sites when building mine last year, because they both stood out as I surveyed pretty close to all of the FIRST team sites. Both of these sites were in a 'shortlist' I had in my bookmarks of the top team sites out there. That RAGE one is especially very elegant, certainly among the very top sites in FIRST. And built by the same guy, huh? Very nice, Joel.

Re: Joel Rocks
 

From what data source are you drawing those random team-links? Can I have it? :D

Re: Joel Rocks
 

I can't see any way it could work other than parsing TIMS tables. Of course the code to display would be his own.

I am Joel Johnson...

I think it can catch on.... ;)

Very good job.

Re: Joel Rocks
 

Joel isn't just great at designing web sites. He is an outstanding, respectful, well-spoken, well-respected FIRST alumnus who nows spends time as a FIRST college mentor.

Re: Joel Rocks
 

...He also enjoys candlelight dinners and long walks on the beach...

Seriously though, I would have to agree with all of the above. Joel has been an outstanding member of Team 229 and we appreciate all the work he has done to create our website, on top programming, strategy and of all the other things he is great at and helps 229 with.

If you were at Beantown, you may have also noticed that he wasn’t too shabby at announcing either.

Re: Joel Rocks
 

Joel did announcing, and I missed it, that must have been interesting to see. The Joel I know normally doesn't show too much emotion. Well, we all appreciate the things Joel does, and for that I give him kudos.

Re: Joel Rocks
 

I'm sure there's a tape somewhere.

Re: Joel Rocks
 

Bumping an old thread, yes... but the message remains the same - Joel Rocks!

Even through all of his other responsibilities, he coded all of CollegiateFIRST by himself, volunteering his own time and putting up with my 'well, what if we do this...' moments.

I'm convinced... one of the greatest, if not greatest, webdesigners FIRST has right now.
