Paint the whole 'lith with a rainbow... 04/09/2004 03:54 PM

Right. That's it. Enough already! I'm just going to go and launch the damn thing and let everyone else find all the bugs and the crappy bits of code and the hacked together bits of shit and I'll fix em all later when I've had a bit of a break. Otherwise it's going to suck up every last bit of my life forever as I fiddle and fuss around some of the obscurer areas when I should be throwing enough people at it and see how many land on something spiky.

So with that in mind, I'm here to announce the 87% complete new version of Barbelith - the online community that actually doesn't just talk shit all day (although it does that too). As ever with a redesign it's got a good few rough edges that will get worn into shape over time. Unlike most redesigns that I've been involved with it's also full of really bad code and there are places where the new lick of paint could do with a couple of more coats. But then again, unlike most commercial redesigns of any scale, this one took four weekends from start to finish. I am sooo looking forward to going outside again. Anyway - have a poke around - be nice to the locals and feel free to leave your thoughts:

Moammar Gadhafi (previously No. 8) and Belarus' Alexander Lukashenko (No. 10) also miss the new A list not because, according to the compilers, "they have improved but because other dictators have gotten worse."

JVC UX-QD7 "Lip Lap" Rainbow Stereo


JVC UX-QD7 "Lip Lap" Rainbow Stereo 07/27/2004 01:12 PM

qd7_topimg.jpg imageAlright, I guess this does it: rainbow LEDs are the new blue LEDs. JVC has a new DVD/MD/CD mini-system called the UX-QD7 that not only has 63 color combinations in its LCD display, but also shoots a matching color through the clear plastic disc tray underneath. It's also nicknamed the "Lip Lap," although I don't have the foggiest idea why. While it's not super-likely that the Lip Lap will see the light of day here in the States (especially not with the Minidisc), this isn't the last time (nor the first) we see flashy candy-colored rainbow patterns in our electronics, mark my words.

If you’re reading this in a browser you’ve no doubt noticed that the site looks different. If you’re reading this in a news reader, then you probably don’t care what the site looks like. The previous design has been hanging around for nearly four years, although the details have changed over time.

Many times over the last few years I’ve wanted to redesign this site and several times I’ve actually started on a new design. Each time something has kept me from completing the design and putting it online. Instead, I’ve nursed the old design along, changing elements here and there, refactoring the site and evolving the design.

This time, I didn’t set out to redesign the site. I simply wanted to continue the progression of small improvements. Something I’ve always felt about the design of this site is that the logo wasn’t strongly tied into the rest of the site. The orange hexagons weren’t reflected anywhere but the logo. My plan was to simply add some orange and some angles into the design. Before I knew it, I had completely changed the design of the site.

Although there were some technical problems with the layout and some things about the new design I didn’t like, but overall things seemed to be working pretty well. So I dumped the old stylesheet, tweaked my templates and uploaded the new files. Now I have a new point from which to start my refactoring.

Some of the technical problems have now been solved, but others remain. A portion of the banner at the top overlaps the menu in Opera. That particular problem was introduced after a workaround of an IE/Win CSS bug. Given the numbers of people using Opera on this site, I’m not going to spend much effort fixing the Opera problem.

One problem I’d like to fix is in Safari. The search field and the graphic at the right of the banner both are positioned about 100 pixels too low—but only on pages within my blog...

Safari

The CSS is the same as the rest of the site, so there must be something in the HTML that’s fouling things up. I’ll hunt it down when I get a chance. Safari also won’t let me style the form buttons. I don’t really want to use an image for the submit button for a variety of reasons, so I’ll have to live with the unstyled button.

Poke around the site and let me know if you find anything terribly wrong. If you come across a page with the logo sitting on a white background, it’s using the old template with the new CSS and will be updated eventually. Constructive criticism and suggestions on the design are more than welcome.
