News

New and improved!

I finally pulled the trigger and deployed my latest code for this here blog-thing. There are all sorts of new features, most of which none of you will care about, but it was a big deal to me to finally get bunches of nagging issues cleaned up, repaired, or built out. The new features include:


  • Better URLs! - The URLs should make more sense when navigating the site. Other URL features have to do with this next feature...

  • Real Pagination! - No more Javascript pagination, this is now real (and obviously slower) pagination with the behavior you expect. And yes, switching pages will be slower, but you will be downloading less data as you will only get the current page, not all pages at once. With this, the URLs should maintain their prettiness.

  • Category List! - You can now see a listing of all the available categories (or tags) in the header of every article or by going to the tags page.

  • Feed? - Not really a feature, but the feed link has changed. Sorry folks.

  • Private Articles! - Actually, there have always been private articles, but now any article that isn't viewable by guests will be marked with a lock icon.

I can't remember if there's more, so I might update this list if I come up with anything else. Please provide me with any comments, suggestions, or, *ahem* bug reports. Enjoy!

@alibakes Haywire is a sparse little covert thriller featuring a smooth jazz score. I can't think of anything else to say about it.

@kumailn Funny, at first I thought you were referring to the now defunct game studio.

@dcorsetto For the record, I'm more grossed out by pooping. And war. War and pooping, mostly.

@wired I only use Gmail to manage my Contacts. Today was the first time I had seen the new interface. I couldn't find the Contacts.

@jessiechar The scary thing is, most hipsters don't know they're hipsters.// How ironic.

Twitter ran out of "who to follow" recommendations for me. I should probably turn the Internet off now.
