A Minor Touch-Up

computers, website 1 Comment »

If you’re reading this post on the website then you’ll know what I’m talking about. Inspired by the word “free” and “web designs” I decided to redo Computerjargon.com’s layout. I ran across the Open Source Web Design site which contains thouasands of free to take website templates. This wonderful one is provided by Andreas Viklund. I give him mad props for doin’ the world good with a little open source lovin’.

Although I’ve been a web app developer for many, many years I am very horrible at the design aspect. I can make a web app work great, just don’t ask me to design one.

Most of the basic site functionality has been moved over. For those dying to comment, comments should be working. I’ll be cleaning up a few little nuances along the way. Hope you enjoy.

A Comment About Comments

After a 2 year hiatus, comments are once again back online. There is one caveat though. The comments are moderated. So feel free to curse me out.

So, lets recap the score. Chad may have beaten me back online , I’ve got an RSS Feed and moderated comments. Best get crackin’ Chad. I’ve got somethin’ cookin’ in the crockpot.

Okay, Kids, We're Going to Take This Slow So Everyone Can Keep Up

The following post will be filled with geek-speak and a little bit of mumbo-jumbo. Proceed at your own risk.

I’m making my inaugural post using the new .Net application I’ve been writing for the past, oh, 2 years. Part of the reason I’ve kept CJ in PHP was 2-fold: I have some great software that I like to use in PHP (the gallery and RSS feed stuff) and secondly, there was no .Net support on Linux. You can trust the MS OS for playing video games, but not for hosting web sites in my book. So I put off a revamp for quite some time. I believe the last time I updated the CJ code was sometime in 2000.

Well, Linux got Mono a few months ago which is a Linux implementation of the .Net language. I’ve been messing around with it and it seems stable enough to serve a web site from. I guess we’ll find out.

A one thing to note: Commenting is disabled until I want you jokers to post crap to my site. And this time, you’ll have to fill in a name or you can’t post. The username Ass-Clown is already reserved for a friend. You’ll have to come up with something better than that.
