this must be it...
Today (sunday) I spent a great deal of my day to get all kinds of glitches out of the site-design. I’m still not totally there, but like the title says, for now this must be it... I ran out of time *^_^*
Let me know what you think (I’d appreciate that) and I’m open for ideas/suggestions… nothing’s final yet…
Oh, and especially for long-time commenter the unknown lurker I put an extra rss-feed in the right-hand menu, the RSS minimal feed... That’s without Flickr-photos and del.icio.us-bookmarks, just the feed of this site, nothing more, nothing less, hope you like it *^_^*
And oh! before I forget, the site-credits! (you can also find those here)
The most obvious thing in the site design, the skull-sticker, has been designed by my friend nijne. The rest of the logo is a picture made on my das iBook keyboard with keys from my old G3-keyboard on top of that (you can get an idea of what has been the base overhere). As a template, I took the textpattern-template serene as a base, changed a whole lot to it and I added a nifty navigation which got described as being a fake-dock with minimalistic vector-graphics... I couldn’t have said it better. The icons in the navigation come from the truly unique IRIX, the UNIX which runs on Silicon Graphics-machines and since this site started out on a wonderful SGI Challenge S (which at one point was a killermachine), it seemed the right thing to do. Also because IRIX already had scalable vector-icons long before OS X existed and even longer before Vista had it planned (or did they already remove this feature also?).
To be totally correct on this one, I got the icons out of an iconpack for Gnome (I use Gnome on Gentoo on my workstation) but that iconpack got inspired by IRIX… ;-)
...and oh! This site’s got a fresh 404-page *^_^*
As mentioned in the Message from Mark's family this site has been made static. This means that it will be no longer possible to comment on his ideas and projects, but that we all can continue to cherish his creativity.previous: alpha-testing the new site from now on...
next: OpenBSD 3.9 almost here...
