Use Tables!

To a server setup by a friend of mine (thanks skelm!). So far I’m on the subdomain http://gijs.codingo.org/ - I will be looking into getting a ‘real’ domain ASAP. I’ll also try to get around to redirecting archer, and in the end shutting down apache on that server. It’s better that way anyway - it’s a firewall, running a webserver too is just extra risk

It sucks. Especially when you lack (varied) digestable food.

I’ve updated the layout of the main site. I’m probably going to use the same style on the blog in due time, though probably using a sidebar as well (as category and archive links simply fit badly in a header bar like that).

I also added an about page. It has some random blobs I wrote down about myself. You might find it interesting, you might find it horrific, you may hate me for it, like me for it, do whatever. I hope I’m ready for any and all emails / comments I’m going to get on it. Please forgive me any spelling mistakes I may have made, it’s 1am by now and I’m tired. I’ll fix them when I get up tomorrow. Or something.
PS: thanks to Silver and tH for their help on the css stuff. Much appreciated

PPS: Also, it goes without saying that I’d like to hear about any display issues you may encounter. I’ve only tested with Gecko so far, and I’m just about to validate the pages. Good chance that there are still some hurdles to climb before it works cross-browser.

Since other people are doing it, and Translatio, Imitatio, AEmulatio
(Translate, Imitate, Improve) is the way of the blogs, here goes:

Done today:

• Enable mod_rewrite and actually make it work (Damn you Debian config files!)

Todo:

• Bug rginda about bug 192091 until he answers me
• Do an additional round of bugs this weekend, to catch-up-before-being-there with my exam week that starts December 19th
• Design a database structure for my first ever freelance project (for a friend)
• Fix the runlevel on my laptop so it runs fluxbox / gnome immediately. Decide whether I actually like fluxbox. Decide whether I like gnome. Maybe go back to KDE as I’m more used to it.
• Fix my chromeEnum plugin to actually work again, now with totally OO directory structure, so it can easily (well, in my dreams, anyway) be used in a xul tree.
• Get Mozilla developers to make trees easy to use before I need them. Alternatively, dive into docs so I can use them regardless of how much they suck.
  Latter will have a negative effect on mood.
• Play more AOE 3.
• Somehow do all the above and scrape all my exams as well.
• Apply for a minor in Computer Science, and the Honours Programme, at my university.

Ah, I’d forget it. In other news, ChatZilla 0.9.69 has been released. Furthermore, there are now 132 open bugs left. I’m not sure I’m going to make it anymore

So from the looks of it, I just succeeded in setting up WordPress on my old (new) firewall box. Some more info on that box as soon as I can find a decent utility to compose a summary of the box by itself, for now suffice it to say that it plays firewall, cvs-server and webserver at once, and my normal desktop hangs off a second NIC on the box (with a bit of help from a crossover cable).

I have one other thing to add: thanks to Samuel Sieb, I now know of the existence of WinSCP. It’s a windows client to connect to a machine using SFTP or SCP as desired. It’s very userfriendly, installation was smooth, and I transferred files without any trouble whatsoever. Which is great, of course.
