On a lighter note... Do you need placeholder text for your app project? Why use the usual Lorem Ipsum when you can use these! Malevole (TV Theme Songs) http://www.malevole.com/mv/misc/text/ Hipster Ipsum http://hipsteripsum.me/?paras=4&type=hipster-latin For the fans of the ale http://beeripsum.com Bacon Ipsum http://baconipsum.com/?paras=5&type=all-meat&start-with-lorem=1 The Veggie option: http://veggieipsum.com/ And my favourite, the Quote Ipsum: "Better get a stiff neck from aiming too high than a hunch from aiming too low." :) http://quoteipsum.com/ Farcat

Hi farcat... well, we all have used placeholder text and these are nice alternatives. Thanks! Last week I red again the great "Getting Real" book from 37signals (gettingreal.37signals.com) and stumbled upon this interesting aspect of placeholder text... ********************************* Use Real Words Insert actual text instead of lorem ipsum. Lorem ipsum dolor is a trusted friend of designers. Dummy text helps people get what the design will look like once it’s fleshed out. But dummy text can be dangerous too. Lorem ipsum changes the way copy is viewed. It reduces text-based content to a visual design element – a shape of text – instead of what it should be: valuable information someone is going to have to enter and/or read. Dummy text means you won’t see the inevitable variations that show up once real information is entered. It means you won’t know what it’s like to fill out forms on your site. Dummy text is a veil between you and reality. You need real copy to know how long certain fields should be. You need real copy to see how tables will expand or contract. You need real copy to know what your app truly looks like. As soon as you can, use real and relevant words. If your site or application requires data input, enter the real deal. And actually type in the text – don’t just paste it in from another source. If it’s a name, type a real name. If it’s a city, type a real city. If it’s a password, and it’s repeated twice, type it twice. Sure, it’s easier to just run down the forms and fill the fields with garbage (“asdsadklja” “123usadfjasld” “snaxn2q9e7”) in order to plow through them quickly. But that’s not real. That’s not what your customers are going to do. Is it really smart to take a shortcut when customers are forced to take the long road? When you just enter fake copy in rapid-fire fashion, you don’t know what it really feels like to fill out that form. Do as your customers do and you’ll understand them better. When you understand them better, and feel what they feel, you’ll build a better interface. *********************************

Let's play who can find 'Buzztouch is awesome'? PS. cmd (or ctrl) + f if you can't find it.

Challenge accepted my friend , 5th paragraph, third line :) @Tompos, great read "Getting Real" that is, some real insight. Placeholder do have it's usefulness sometime, I am often asked: "I would like this here and here, but I don't have the content yet. Can you work on it while I get the content ready?" Sometime there just isn't any way around it...

Does Lorem ipsum means anything in Latin, or is it just hodge-podge?

http://www.lipsum.com Cheers! -- Smug

@Dusko: "Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old.[]This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance." If we need to fill up the space, I say we may as well put some fun in it. Maybe I'll start my own Yoda Ipsum: "When nine hundred years old you reach, look as good, you will not, hmmm?" "Nothing of coding you know, but the way of Buzztouch you have learned" Ok, maybe I made the last one up. ;)

I know this thread is a bit dated, but I thought I would chime in and add another to the list - here is a Lipsum generator that I worked on called Geek Lipsum - http://bit.ly/KvvxWL check it out :)

That's cool, Chris :) Cheers! -- Smug

Thanks Smug :) I am planning on packaging it up and making it a native android \ iOS app, as I do alot of coding on the go.

Cool Lipsum generator @ChrisYemaya! Bring on more movie characters! Farcat

Thanks @Farcat. I was planning on adding a bit more from the original Tron Movie, Pulp Fiction and The Wall lol. Of course I am open to suggestions :)

Pulp fiction would be nice!

10-4 farcat. "And you know what they call a Quarter Pounder with Cheese in Paris?" lol

Royale With Cheese sorry couldnt resist.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Pkq_eBHXJ4 :)

I love that movie! lol

Would you be willing to share the file format? People could contribute their favorite movie quotes… I was thinking Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, Spinal Tap, Caddy Shack, and of course, my personal favorite: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnLqLHWDg5E Cheers! -- Smug

Smug, my friend, you just made my day. That was hilarious!! http://www.totalfilm.com/features/50-most-iconic-movie-looks/ My wish-list: The Matrix Harry Potter Die Hard Kill Bill :)

@Smug, sure thing. I am going to make a few tweaks to it before I post it up here. Originally I created it so that I could use it when I am on the go and needed to get some coding done that required some Greek text. But now I am looking into revamping it a bit more and making it a native iOS / Android app. I think it would be awesome to get some more movies added (I love me some Mel Brooks lol)... @farcat yippeee ka yay lol
