StreetComputing back online

13 May 2004

Well, I just finished up the latest batch of assessment tasks, and amid my procrastination last night (against a maths assessment today, which went suprisingly well, I think – of course, thinking that BEFORE getting marks back is suicide, but hey) came a compulsive desire to design a website.

And here it is.

For more on exactly how, why, and how long, take a look at the about page.  Let’s just say that my coding self-esteem is pretty good at the minute.  Heh… until, of course, the bugs reports start rolling in;)  No, that won’t happen as much, I don’t think… this particular CMS has been in use in miscellaneous other places in various forms for several months now, and more recently, in a more complete, polished form, on the Platform Seven website.

We shall see exactly what happens with this in the next few days… I have a weekend without any assessments!!! This is incredible!!!  I have a life again… well, I have free time again… the life is somewhat more optional.

One more thing

You’ll note, if you happen to be unfortunate enough to be trying to view this webpage in any web browser other than something based on the Mozilla rendering engine, that the menubar accross the top sucks.

I just thought I’d point this out, and laugh at you. ;)

The joys of running a personal website, not subject to review… I’m fairly sure it’s still standards compliant, though – the CMS I’ve developed will basically make me comply with standards… I have no real choice in that matter. Of course, having said that, I haven’t actually *tested* this for compliance yet, so I’m liable to being ripped up and reduced to a quivering heap when I actually *do* try to validate it sometime. We shall see.

Oh, and I will fix it sometime. I just can’t be bothered right now, considering it looks so nice from where I’m sitting ;)
