Github 404 page (github.com)

I love the github guys for their attention to detail, the 500 page is also worth seeing: https://github.com/500

Make sure you move your mouse over the image.

Octocat's name is Octobi Wan Catnobi (view source)

this is the most awesome thing i've seen in 2011 so far

This made my day.

This is so cool! Imagine the future of web based gaming where it detects your head movement (like the mouse). So close to 3D! :-)

sorry this page doesn't seem to load for me.

The 404 page on Blippy is worth a mention too - http://blippy.com/404

The link seems broken, it didn't get me where I wanted.

Reddit has/had a good 404 ~ http://www.flickr.com/photos/bootload/2835213914/in/set-7215... though I liked their general error report better ~ http://www.flickr.com/photos/bootload/98158858/in/set-721576... "sorry broke: looks like we shouldn't have stopped using lisp..."

All those creative error pages make me think that it might be a great "dear team, maybe you fancy hacking some funny or exciting non-related webdesign stuff in your free time. If you create something nice and want to, we can use it as our error page" motivation to have your programmers space out and hack as they like while still contributing to the project.

So I tried moving my mouse left and right while closing my right and left eyes. Alternate fast enough and it really looks 3D!

I thought it would present some ui allowing you to enter the code for the page. "page not found? This is github, so you write it. :)"

The 3d effect is achieved using JParallax

For extra fun, type this in the address bar while on the github 404 page:

    javascript:var theta = 0; setInterval(function () { theta += 0.05; parallax({ pageX : (Math.sin(theta) + 1) * 1000, pageY : (Math.cos(theta) + 1) * 1000}) }, 50)

Am I the first person to go "Woah! That's cool!" then look at the code and instantly go "WTF?!"?

  - Browser sniffing using `document.all` to test for IE

  - Browser sniffing at all!

  - Aborting `trace` rather than just removing it

  - In `init`, repeatedly calling `document.getElementById` with the same `id`
    instead of storing them in variables

  - Calling `document.getElementById` every time `parallax`, the `mousemove` event
    handler, is triggered rather than `init` storing them *once* in variables that
    `parallax` has access to
