I can haz... new design? Again?!

Friday, 28. August 2009, 17:25:46

Yes, I can.

I haven't fixed the photos, links, friends or about page yet, but the blog should be working more or less as intended.

As always, please feel free to drop by comments. :-)

New design closing in on finalization...

Wednesday, 17. June 2009, 00:08:45

design, blog

Tonight I have tried to complete the blog design. Most of the functionality should now work as intended (albums/images, links, friends, about) and the header has gotten some images. Not sure if I want to keep it, tune it or totally revamp it, though.

Please give comments should you find anything that seems out of place. :-)

New layout!

Sunday, 14. June 2009, 23:44:50

blog, design

I have made a new layout. It's darker, more slick and has more shadows. The header is a bit temporary and I will probably add stuff to it later. Most of the blog content should be looking a bit like it should, but there are several bugs:
- Albums, Links, Friends and About does not work as inteneded... at all.
- View blog entry contains a bug with the ending of the fade.
- View blog entry contains a bug with the fade at top. Apparently, the fade is too long.

If you see anything not covered by the above, please feel free to contact me here and let me know about it. :-)

Designs and such.

Sunday, 24. May 2009, 19:08:20

design, blog

I've redesigned my blog. Somewhat twice. Depending on when you are reading this, you will be seeing three different designs. One design runs from 0400 to 1200. Another runs from 1200 to 2000. The last runs from 2000 to 0400. All in CET. Good luck spotting all.

Oh, and by the way - more will come. Probably, the "morning" design will be totally revamped. But not tonight.

EDIT: I've added more images with different spans
1. From 2000 to 0400
2. From 0400 to 0800
3. From 0800 to 1200
4. From 1200 to 1600
5. From 1600 to 2000

New design hoooo!

design

Since I used most of the structure from the previous design, it was quite easy to implement. I am not sure about the quick and hard fade from the image to white, and the colours of the menu should be changed. But otherwise... I think it's quite good to go!

Any comments?

Easter vacation.

Wednesday, 8. April 2009, 23:29:30

design, life, vacation

Peace and quiet. Today I had the day off with nothing on the agenda. We've been watching quite some episodes of Deep Space Nine and generally had it very relaxing.

Tomorrow we'll be going to Skien with the buss that leaves at 1130. It's ETA is approximately 2.5 hours later, so we'll catch the best of the day there. We'll pick up our car in Skien too, where it has survived the winter. It will be very nice to get the car again, as it makes it easier visiting family and friends that live further away than where the buses, trams and trains of Oslo easily carries us.

I am, believe it or not, considering changing my layout again. Don't worry, I've gotten a theme that I am quite pleased with (although I might try to experiment some with the sidebar at a later point in time. Some part in me wants to have a white background of the blog to simplify reading and for general slickness. White on black looks a bit emotional in the end, so I'll probably stick to the plan and repaint the design white. The problem is: I do not have any suitable header images. As such, I'll have to speculate and, hopefully, find something that fits a white design.

The main criteria of the design header will be:
- Merry! I want to have something that I can look at and feel the urge to write in this blog. Something that fills me with memories, happy thoughts and that I feel proud of.
- Since I have used about all images I made and put up on DeviantART, I'll have to look through free stock sites to find something.
- Natural! I've quite enjoyed the past images I've used of natural evironments. Mainly due to the fact that I can dream away into the landscape and imagine things. Yeah, it sounds creepy but I took myself in doing that at work some time ago when I still had my tornado design.

Does anyone know of any good and free stock image websites, except sxc.hu?

Late night computer architecture (mostly mathematics) and new design.

Thursday, 5. March 2009, 02:13:30

design, life, school

Well, apparently I'm still awake. I've been doing maths since about 0000, and I've done some of the most time consuming tasks, as far as I know. I have about 2.2 of 4 tasks left, and I feel that it's going good. Since I'm going to Ørnes on Saturday (which my Grandmother doesn't know (ssh

), I have to complete this by the end of Friday. My plan is to get this done tomorrow so that I can enjoy the Friday with Anniken.

I must say, though, that I didn't understand much of Karnaugh maps when the lecturer went through them, and I surely don't understand much of them now. That is, when the lecturer taught us about them I understood, comprehended and actually followed him in his calculations. I even did the example he put up before he had started to work his way through it. But then I got this task, and it was nothing of the sort that he had gone through. So I suppose I'll have to toss in some more frustrations before I get this done. My calculations were tossing null no matter what, which sounds just too weird to be true.

Oh, and bai de vai, since Apricot was released I just had to redesign the blog. It seems to be a bug for visitors that they cannot see the links in the #myo div, so I'll have to look into it tomorrow. I am too tired (and having too much Boolean algebra in my head to comprehend CSS atm). Please report any issues you might see with the design. I'll try to fix them as soon as possible (read: at work tomorrow, probably *dodges the boss*). Getting paid and being able to work with my blog between work sessions doesn't sound so wrong? It's awesome.

Well, I've changed the pompous background with this less fading thing. I think it looks quite slick!

CAN I HAZ NEW DESIGN

Friday, 9. January 2009, 23:14:49

design, blog

Yes I can. It's spaced out, 1000px in width and, um, yeah, somewhat fresh. Let's hope Blizzard doesn't sue me for stealing 1200x200 pixels from them (background). :X The header was made my me some years ago. \o/

Thoughts about redesigning the blog

Saturday, 27. December 2008, 14:18:07

design, blog

I originally said that this design was only for December, but since I do not have another one completed at this time, I fear that I'll have to wait until after January 5th to redesign it.

This brings me to several points about how the new design will be, and hopefully I'll get some reactions to this and thoughts before I, eventually, implement them.

- I do not want to have the sidebar floating to the right. It breaks the design in Internet Explorer (for a change...) and it looks generally bad in resolutions with less than 1024 pixels in width.

- White. That's the background colour of the blog's content. The text colour will be black.

- I aim for about 800-900 pixels in width. Perhaps even 1000 pixels, with about 200 pixels for the sidebar.

- The form of the site will be much like http://www.ipwn.se (I really like that general layout)

- The font size will probably be 1 to 2 pixels larger (up from 11px), while the font family probably will continue to be Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif.

- The header will perhaps be... spaced out? I am not certain, I haven't given it much thought. Hopefully it'll be no taller than 200 pixels.

- Transparency? I don't think so. Perhaps.

- Much more structured CSS! All elements first, identifiers (#) second and lastly all the classes, not like the mess I am currently having.

- Better tags? Sure, I'll come up with something.

Any other suggestions? :-)
