CSS Reboot
The new version for the upcoming CSS Reboot now launched! Because I will be away on May 1st, I have decided to clue you in early.
Major revemps:
- Organized homepage.
- Ajax recent posts on homepage.
- A fresh look and feel for the archives.
- New buttons.
- Search functionality.
- Tag cosmo.
- Most viewed/commented.
- …and lots more to be discovered by you!
So sit back and try these out! Comments are welcome.
You can also expect some funky stuff very soon. Until then, I will be on vacation in Las Vegas, standing outside the casinos, window gambling.
Area51
If you own a website, you should have the subdomain area51.domain.com. Why? To keep information secret yet public at the same time. This may seem pointless, but it can come in handy.
Feed Subscribers
Since I switched to FeedBurner for my feeds, I’ve been watching closely the subscribers. I think the stats after a month should show some steady patterns, and so I noticed.
CSS Reboot Tease
Like Elliot, I’ll give a little tease for the CSS Reboot as well. The design realign and coding are finished, only thing left is coding the WordPress theme.
Stay tuned.
Boot Camp: Macs do Windows, too
Apple’s launch of Boot Camp is good news. Boot Camp’s webpage, however, is full of Apple’s “Windows sucks” and “OSX — the most advanced OS” attitude. As a Windows user, I did a little interpretation of the things I absolutely cannot believe are on Apple’s website.
I’m Oscar
I find this absolutely hilarious — http://imoscar.com/. It’s the “blog” that Oscar Bluthe started while he was falsely imprisoned as George Bluthe, his brother (see Arrested Development). The address and a screenshot of the site was shown in the show once, but I never bothered to check it. And if you clicked that link above, you’ll realize it doesn’t work.
But here’s the Google Cache. And here’s a screenshot.
Read the entries, they are hilarious. I can just imagine that face saying all that stuff.
How a Music Library Should Be
Today I cleaned up my music library of what used to be 2740 and now 1770 songs.
Why? Because I realized that sometimes when Winamp shuffles to a certain song, I just press Next. It dawned on me that I have way too much crap (otherwise known as Green Day, MC Hammer, Puff Daddy, Shakira, T-Pain, etc) that I never listen to. I acquire a lot of music, and have always kept everything. I had thought that if I didn’t like it, I might find it good later on. But the truth is, I will never listen to them again.
I didn’t delete these, I just moved them out of the folder that Winamp scans for music. Now I can sit back and enjoy every song in my music collection.
(mt) Media Temple Shared-Server 6.0
Media Temple’s sneak peek at the next generation of shared hosting seems freakin’ sweet.
- Ruby on Rails — I haven’t messed around with this anywhere yet, but it sure sounds sweet.
- PHP 4 & 5 — a choice on per account basis, without safe-mode! First thing I’d make is a PHP socket server that doesn’t time out every 30 seconds.
- MySQL 4.1.11 — seriously I don’t know why it took Media Temple so long to upgrade to this version, but it’ll sure support more scripts.
- More Storage & Bandwidth — Woot!
- New Control Panel — Media Temple has never bothered with a powerful dedicated control panel (such as CPanel, Plesk). This will be awesome.
- Multi-Site Hosting — I’m at my limit of 6 domains right now. This will be great for new sites & clients.
Only question I got is that the current Shared-Server is at version 4.0. If the upgrade is going to 6.0, what about 5.0?
1 Dimension Tetris
If you liked the 2×2 Tic-Tac-Toe, you’ll like this 1 dimensional Tetris game. If you know how to play Tetris, this game should be a breeze. The controls are pretty basic.
- Rotate — Up
- Move Left — Left
- Move Right — Right
- Move Down — Currently disabled to improve game performance.
AllOfAVI and AllOfEXE
AllOfMP3 has got to be the website I purchase the most stuff from (and probably the only one). I’m so fancied by their simplicity and price that I wish I could download movies and legal software like this. Snap!
