I knows me some ugly
Ze Frank is hosting a “I knows me some ugly showdown” myspace project. Myspace is a social networking site that allows people to do their own html on their own page and make friends while doing it. Ze is incredibly funny and smart but isn’t afraid to resort to poo jokes. For a list of [...]
Community support vs corporate support
Currently at work I’m busy helping design and implement a highly available 10g Oracle Application Server infrastructure on some blade servers. This is a piece of software that can cost more than a brand new Alfa Romeo which performs a similar role to an Apache Web Server with Tomcat at the backend (all open source [...]
Subscribing to comments
I added a neat little feature last night that allows you to subscribe to comments. This means that if someone replies to your comment you should get an email informing you that there was a reply and will even tell you what the reply is. At the moment there isn’t a way to subscribe to [...]
New version of Gallery
Gallery 2 has finally come out of beta so I’ve taken the opportunity to upgrade my version. Belatedly I’ve noticed that it doesn’t have a voting system but apparently they are planning to add it as a module sometime soon. This version makes it easier to theme and edit the templates so my next step [...]
Anatomy of my new blog design
The germ of this new design began with my frustrations over blogging my travels. The daily blog format is alright for people reading every day as you are travelling and blogging, but a year after the trip is over and they come across day 12 of your round the world trip they have no idea [...]
What a mission
Finally the new design is here and even though I haven’t implemented all the things I wanted to implement I’ve made good headway. Mostly the design is based on my mentor, guru and love all his work Douglas Bowman (even the old site was based on one of his blogger templates). I wanted to implement [...]
New site design
Apologies for the lack of updates, but I certainly haven’t been neglecting this blog. I’ve been hard at work designing a new look and as a teaser I’ve attached a teeny tiny image to give you something to think about. The Ekka holiday helped me accomplish quite a bit to nudge me that much closer [...]
New blog design
Just when I get my new blog design 80% finished Six Apart go and announce that movable type 3.2 is coming. It doesn’t mean have too much effect on the visual design I’ve done, but all the time sweating over the tags that the application uses may all be for nought as they are changing. [...]
A bit of web design help
A guy at work is interested in getting in to the web career stream so I offered him some websites to show him what’s going on in the web world. As far as I’m concerned blogs are the greatest thing to enter the web since html. Blogging software has enabled people to separate their content [...]
Let's go all professional
You may have noticed the site went missing for about a day and a half and it was not only due to the fact that my motherboard lost it’s shit but also some construction work down the road cut my telstra and foxtel cables. It was hard living without internet access for about 15 hours, [...]
