geektechnique 3.0 is on it's way! yay!

About three weeks ago, I stumbled upon the fact that I’ve been using this site in it’s current format for over a year already. So, I did a quick poll about what you would think how we should continue and here are the results…

continue like we do now?
yes

It had me thinking… I really like to spend time on a new site, but I need time for that and lot’s of it too… Yesterday I updated this very webserver, so it’s current again with the latest packages and such (I had a few glitches here and there during the day but I think I fixed them all).

Anyways, I managed to get a few days off next week from my day-job, so if there’s gonna be a time to shift this whole thing in yet another gear, I guess this is it… *^_^*

I totally have no clue what I’m gonna do, but I’m gonna start from scratch and see where I end up…

If there’s anything you’d like to see or you want gone, this is the accepted time and you can use the comments for that… *^_^*

Oh, before I forget, I’ve been experimenting with the RSS-feed (human readable! click it! ;-)) lately and been plugging my flickr and del.icio.us feeds into it… If any of the readers (200+!) has something to say about that, please do… (This is one of the reasons I started using del.icio.us again)

cheers

    Your columns should be a bit narrower and your linespace could be a bit bigger, just to make it more readable. Happy to help with that.

    To be honest, I’m not such a big fan of the feed merger as it just doesn’t fit my way of reading where I want the text now but where I check links and photos only occasionally. With my reader of choice (Bloglines) it’s very easy to merge feeds for yourself (put them all in a folder, read the whole folder instead of the individual feeds), but – at least to my knowledge – it’s impossible to divide a single feed up again.

    So, if I may state a wish: please de-merge the feeds.

    okay, well, I will look into the feeds for sure. If I can, I will offer several and maybe something like an email-update for the projects alone, since I do have the feeling a lot of people are interested in that alone :-)

    Oh and Rutger, I think I’m gonna let you beta-test the new site :-)
