Well, here it is… my fancy new site. Brand new furniture and a lick of paint.
I’ve basically built the whole site from scratch, and like all of these things, it took slightly longer than I anticipated*. There were a few unforeseen glitches here and there but on the whole I’m pretty happy with everything. Even the things that look the same have changed- the code is now all valid XHTML (as opposed to virtual spaghetti), the text is all encoded in UTF-8 (instead of ISO-8859-1) and the engine is running on pure PHP. In short, what this means is that everything is much more better…
I’ve got my own CAPTCHA system and a few other measures set up to keep all the idiots intent on polluting the internet at bay, the webcam is now live 24 hours a day, and there’s a pint of milk in the bottom corner. It is a veritable cavalcade of new ‘features’.
I am however, still tweaking a few things here and there, so if anything looks or acts weird let me know.
To Do List
Get links to downloads working
Test trackback
Make sure comments and CAPTCHAs are working correctly
Transfer mailing list
Set up posting from my phone
Lots of fiddly stuff like get Links page in alphabetical order
Oh, and I almost forgot- the arcade. I was planning to retire it actually, but I’ve already had two emails asking about it. Hmm… we’ll see.
