Web Design With a Side of Potatoes
[ rakaur on Sat Oct 09 at 01:33 PM // category: life, programming, technology, web ]
It’s that time again!
I need a new layout for my sites (namely this one). I realize I haven’t had this one up very long; but, I’ve been using this layout for quite some time. So, if any of you layout-desiging fools out there would care to take a crack at it, I need:
- Light on dark (ie, white text on some dark-but-not-black color);
- A nice font that doesn’t look crappy like this one (eg, verdana);
- A simple “liquid” layout (ie, horizontally centered, sidebar, content);
- A main menu, and submenus for sections that need them.
I’ve been messing with it, but you know, I suck ass at layouts.
That reminds me, I need to figure out: Python or PHP. It seems mod_python is broken on the latest Apache, so I’m not sure. PHP is geared towards Web stuff, but you know, I hate PHP. Python is just so much cleaner and organized; and, for the simple stuff I do it’d work just fine (in fact, I already wrote a Python version of my blog). The only bad part about using Python is that there’s no (decent) Markdown implementation for it. There’s a few floating around on the Web, but they all do something improperly and they’re so hacked up in a Perlesque manner that I can’t figure out what to do with them. Porting that will suck.
Anyway.
We went up to Bunker Hill last night to shoot the potato gun. Holy shit, it’s loud. I mean like, it rivals something that uses gun powder as opposed to air and starting fluid. It doesn’t shoot quite as far as I thought it would, but it’s still pretty neat (and fun to shoot when it actually works).
I might have to get me one of those.
