Trying out a new site layout
Thinking that simple is better here, so I tossed out the big vertical sidebar navigation for a much simpler nav bar at the bottom. Also playing around with putting wiki changes in the sidebar. Any thoughts? I think I'll stop twiddling with that for now and play around with getting a few more things released. Okay, maybe one more tweak. This is not exactly like out-of-box Movable Type, but hopefully not annoying. [ ... 79 words ... ]

It's quiet. Too quiet. Actually,
Actually, I have been doing quite a bit. here's a quick update: I had a go at doing something cool with CommentsInRadioUserland, but I don't think very many people noticed my hacky iframe tricks before a more elegant solution was baked into Radio. Well, I thought it was cool. :) I released the XmlRpcToWiki for two Wikis, TWiki and ?UseModWiki. I'm aiming for MoinMoin next, and I might even be nutty and convert from TWiki to MoinMoin for usage here. Started doing the dogfood thing and have been using MailToRSS (based on Caffinate) on a daily basis in my Radio UserLand feed. Seems pretty useful. Going to clean a few things up, upload some files, and bump those two projects up into the "Available" category and make a release. I ripped the Wiki's style-sheet off and went back to plain old, unadulterated default style. I might try again with a few tweaks, but best to let wikis be. Thinking I'm going to set aim on the WeblogMulticaster next. I'll have more to write soon. [ ... 175 words ... ]

And another thing: on UNIX-y development
It's worth noting that I'm trying a change in approach now to get my hacking morale up. I'm adopting a more UNIX-y approach and planning to write and release a number of smaller, interoperating utilities at first. They should be really easy to pipe together, like cat | grep | more. They should, at first, run just fine on my laptop Apache installation or out on the 0xDECAFBAD servers. Eventually I might write the overarching DesktopWebAppServer that provides another shell within which they can reside, but I have to get away from my year-long hermitage arcs of development where I make really cool things and get 75% of the way done and then abandon them. Okay. Nevermind work, it's time to go home. Wheee! (Grr, and ?TextRouter keeps "helpfully" escaping all my HTML tags with entities. Have to do more digging to work out how to stop that.)

Wanted: A non-ugly stylesheet
Oh yeah, and though I'm pretty sure I'm blogging into the void right now, would anyone out there happen to have some tips on how to make my site less ass ugly? :) I've just co-opted the Movable Type out-of-box style, but I think I'll need to move on from that eventually... [ ... 53 words ... ]

Blew the dust off the BBS
It's been up for 49 days and has served about 8 people. It's running on a crappy lil 70Mhz HP Vectra PC I found in the dumpster. It's 0xDECAFBAD BBS, my telnet BBS running Synchronet BBS! Call on in, either via Java applet on the web (http://bbs.decafbad.com) or via direct telnet (telnet://bbs.decafbad.com:2323) But, it would sure be lots of useless old-school fun to get people playing on here :) I haven't done a whole lot of work on it yet, other than putz around with an ANSI logo, and a few hours' nostalgic gathering and installing of BBS Door games (Legend of the Red Dragon, anyone?) Let's see how long I can go before Comcast finds it and shuts me down, whee! [ ... 123 words ... ]
