And we're back
Welcome to the new FeedMeChocolate.com! It’s about time, I know.

Designs and organ trials
The polishing-off of the backend got left on the back-burner a bit until I picked it up again this weekend, and I’m still fiddling with it, while at the same time packing all my stuff up to head back to Cambridge for the new year. (However, there is a slightly tweaked design up at /designs/ if you’d care to take a peek at the future.)

Finally...
I’ve got the itch to do some programming, but not enough of an itch to actually teach myself anything new in the process. So I’m going to finally start writing the new backend for this site. Right now.

What's related?
According to the Mozilla “What’s related” sidebar, there is one page on the Internet that is related to www.feedmechocolate.com. What is it? Emmanuel: Songs Of Burgundy. Okay, I can sort of get that, it says Emmanuel in it. But then, apparently, a related web page to “Emmanuel: Songs of Burgundy” is the NetBSD Project. What is up with this “What’s related” feature?

Redesign
Now that I’m free from the shackles of work, I’m trying to redesign this site. I’m trying to do it in strict XHTML 1.0, and CSS 2, which should look beautiful if you’re using the Gecko layout engine, and okay if you’re using IE6. Except that IE6 has lots of annoying CSS bugs, including one where you can’t select text in a <div> that’s positioned absolutely… And I think it should work in the latest version of Opera. Haven’t tested it on anything else yet, but I can guarantee that it will look crap on NN4. Just like everything else does. Also, it should render well in text-based or non-visual browsers, and any mobile Internet device. If you’re interested in seeing prototypes as I test them, go here. (That directory might not hold a tested/working version at any particular time, but I’d still be interested in hearing how it renders on your platform.)

Changes
I’m trying out a new way of labelling these posts. Also experimenting with style sheets. Neat dashed underline things for the links are courtesy of kottke. And they probably don’t work on 80% of the browsers out there. Or something. But that doesn’t matter, because it works for me. And I’m pretty certain no one else reads this stuff, anyway.

First post!
Well, here I am, wasting my time trying to get this thing to work. Blogger is, in theory, quite useful, but at the moment it just seems painfully flaky. I will have to roll my own site management thingamabob in ASP or something at some point. I was under the misguided notion that hacking together something with Blogger and server-side includes would be quicker to get up and running. Ha ha.
