My current project is about to get a bit more attention

I'm going to be getting some sort of award for showing how to make use of the new persistent memory devices at the Persistent Memory Summit (https://www.snia.org/pm-summit).

I've been jazzing up the web page for the project in preparation. Anyone interested can see it at www.threemisses.com.

I'd appreciate any comments, especially typos or anything else that seems wrong. Of course, given the technical nature of the product, such errors may not be readily noticed by most viewers, but you never know what a relative novice may see.

Your "No" red shading color is not uniform across the cells. Congrats, tech. I'm hardware, all this is over my head as well.

That's odd; the red looks the same across the cells to me.

Thanks. What kind of hardware?

The "no"s do all have the same color spec in the HTML, so they must be the same. Corto, maybe it's your eyes that aren't uniform? :-)

Really those cells should have a CSS class, and the CSS should specify the color exactly one time, rather than having the HTML give the color over and over again. That makes the chances of them not matching zero. But it does look like the HTML is consistent.

I see it, too. The last two red cells are a slightly different shade. It's subtle but definitely noticeable.

In Photoshop, the RGB value of the top red cells is 255/102/102 while the bottom two are 255/102/0. So it's dropping the blue.

Congrats, Tech!

Apologies, clearly it's my own eyes (or perhaps monitor) that are TOO uniform, and obviously my HTML analysis was at best incomplete. My advice on CSS stands even stronger though. :-)

I'm getting ready for the conference and don't want to make changes right now if they aren't significant.
Would anyone here not be willing to buy the product because of the non-uniform red? :D

Xilinx/Altera based FPGA designs, generally processing/storing video for military apps. Also some ARM based products. I do the whole span from concept/schematics/layout/production.

On the red -- I know it is nitpicky, but, you are trying to sell complex code and it might seem petty, but if you can't get your colors uniform, it might cause some people to think you might be sloppy on other things.

This is very true. Rational or not, you don't want "unprofessional" to be floating around in somebody's subconscious.

Ok, I believe I have fixed the red color inconsistency. Please confirm.
