Redesign

Well all the cool kids are doing it ;). No actually, I’m starting to get back to the site in flux idea that I was attached to in the beginning. Before I had a home-brew theme system and I was committed to adding a new theme every month and making it the default for that month. As I added new features though it became cumbersome updating the different themes, and it was slowing me down when I was trying to add functionality. So I came to the decision that it was better to have one well-tweaked theme that worked perfectly with everything, rather than twenty themes that worked alright. I’m itching for a new design, plus I have some things to fix up around here, so it’s going to be a meta-day. Also to be honest I like having total control on how the site is displayed, which is why NS4 users see just text and other things, which is different then some sites that let you write your own CSS file even. There’s a lot to do, so I should probably make a list:

  • New design
    • Resizable fonts (no pixels for IE/Win)
    • External links differentiated
    • Something new with fancy cap stuff
  • RSS feedsDone
  • Finish archive system
  • Set up CVS (maybe gforge too?)
  • Install stereoI’m happy to say I think everyone in the neighborhood has heard it now
  • New intra-site link systyem
  • Improve error handling throughout
  • Install new RAID card and hard drives
  • Set up file-server
  • Try new battery in laptopThe new battery is nice, but the problem still appears to be the charging circuitry, just like I told them.

I think that’s enough for today.
