It was time for that old, ugly, and blue front page to go. In its place I have a sort of temporary placeholder page that has a few links to the most important stuff on the site. It isn’t exactly finished because I am still working on the logo and background graphics.
I should probably get something informative up on the Quatschbox site, since what’s up there certainly doesn’t help understand what it is supposed to do.
Nobody reads this blog on a regular basis (and I don’t exactly update it on a regular basis, either), but I just popped by to mention that I’ll be away for the next couple days as I go on a small camping trip to Bear Lake with the family.
It is my hope when I return to catch up on some of the things I have been meaning to blog about, such as Harry Potter and the latest of what’s going on in this crazy, mixed-up universe of ours.
Well, a week off from school was pretty fun. Too bad I didn’t get that quatschbox upgrade finished, but I did work on it some.
This week I’ve got some crazy assignments, like heading down to a foreign film festival and checking out some of the attractions for my anthropology class. I will probably have two papers due in the second half of the week, so I’m not looking forward to that 🙁
So far my blog hasn’t got any casino spam, and I’m very happy with that.
I finally took the time to update the blog software to the latest version. I must say, this new version is quite sweet. It really is a nicely manufactured piece of software, and is quite an inspiration (read: I might steal some ideas to put into Quatschbox :D)
Update: Since the new version has more robust spam-blocking tools, I have opened up the comments again, hopefully for good.
So I’ve been kinda busy working on my news/comments “engine” that will likely succeed this blog someday. It’s been kind of fun, since the newest enhancements have made it tons faster than the code that is currently in “beta” at the moment.
I am also going to post the source when it’s ready, since I think it would be cool to get some cooperation from other people (who are better at programming) and make it actually a viable discussion forum thingy. Right now it’s basically just a ripoff of ja.zz and some features of other spinoffs.
