New design online!

Thursday, January 29th, 2009

Finished up the couple of remaining bits, and my new design is now officially up! The blog at the moment is still unskinned, but I’ll probably be fixing that in the near future. The new site should hopefully be compatible, or at least working, in most major browsers, so any feedback on broken things would be greatly appreciated.

New Design

Sunday, January 18th, 2009

Things have been pretty quiet recently, so I’ve been slowly redesigning this site. Although I’m still a fan of my current design, I figure it’s about time to change again. For anyone interested, here’s a screenshot of what the new site looks like. No clue when the new design will be up, but hopefully it won’t be as long as it took to finish my current one!

Twitter

Saturday, January 3rd, 2009

Twitter is one of those things that a lot of people just don’t get. I didn’t either, but still signed up anyway. I’ve found already that I already use it more often than this bigger blog, mainly because the smaller message size forces you to write quick updates. It’s convenient like text messages, another technology that I didn’t get until I started using it. Essentially, it’s free text messaging with the added feature of broadcasting to a group of people.

There are quite a few clients available, too. On my Windows Mobile phone I’ve been using the standard m.twitter.com, which works more than well enough. On my desktop, I generally use Twittget, which works as a Vista sidebar gadget. Very convenient (the sidebar idea in general is) and it doesn’t create more tray icons. It notifies me of new messages in the gadget itself, and with a bird tweet sound.

If any of my 3 readers whom I aleady haven’t told about it wish to add me, check out my profile at Twitter. I’ll be looking into how I can integrate it with the front page somehow in the near future.
