site changes

Trevor @ Monday January 12th 2004 15:07

Just a warning that the site may be even more chaotic over the next couple of days. This is because I’ve taken a deep breath and decided to do stuff like kick out virtually all non-data tables in favour of CSS2-based layouts (= quicker site + more display/media options) and switch to UTF-8 (= more efficient presentation of non-standard characters). I’m going to start tonight and I’ll tell you when I think I’ve finished.

update (i)

I’ve done all the site apart from the sections called blog and calendar. It seems to render OK on NN7.1, IE6.0 and Moz1.5 with Windoze98, but please tell me if the layout is all over the place on your setup, including the number of your account on Grand Cayman.

update (ii)

Main blog page kind of done and linked to template, as it should have been at the start of all this.

    Excellent. While you’re at it, could you change the way your rss is configured, to include the whole entry and not just the first 20 words? I think it’s in the moveable type preferences/ intro length. If you set it at something huge, eg 20000, it’ll include the whole intro in my reader and make my reading of Baldie that much swifter. Ta muchly.

    I’ll probably rig up two feeds, one full content (inc images) with a cutoff at a certain point and the other a summary. Bandwidth will probably come into consideration at some stage, he said naively.

    Looks fine to me with 2K MSIE5. Doesn’t seem much quicker though

    Re speed: sometimes the bottleneck is in the mind of the user.

  • March 21 1848 

    En Barcelona como en otras partes comienza hoy la primavera, que en honor de la verdad no suele ser aqui la estacion mas hermosa del año. Cierto que ya los árboles comienzan á echar hoja, y que la linda y olorosa violeta alfombra los jardines y ribazos, y que le hacen cortejo otras flores; per...

Josep Pla, Palafrugell (1918-9)

  • 21 de març de 1918 En aquest país tenim un costum molt curiós. Quan ens trobem, al carrer, dues persones, cara a cara, no tenim, a penes, res a dir-nos. Però, una vegada acomiadats i fets set o vuit passos, se’ns ocorren tot d’una una sèrie de coses urgents a dir a la persona que hem deixat fa un moment. [...]
  • 21 de març de 1919 Inici de la primavera. Biblioteca. Tot traduint Renard penso que és més important dominar un ofici qualsevol que posseir una curiositat dilatada, vastíssima. La curiositat es pot improvisar; un ofici, no. La curiositat és superficialment agradable, però deixa una certa buidor amarga per dintre. Un ofici és monòton i pesat, però té moments d’una voluptuositat [...]
