Pasteosaurus

Monday, July 16th 2007

screenshot of pasteosaurus [Jim Whimpey](http://jimwhimpey.com/ "The Jim Whimpey Weblog") and Brisbane Creative bring you Pasteosaurus. The new PHP pastebin on the block, based on the OSS code from Pastebin.com. The entire systme and codebase was almost completely rewritten by Jim, in aim of simplifying the entire system. As Jim says on his blog, Every piece of junk I wasn’t using from pastebin has been removed, including DB fields and every file has been reorganised and rewritten in cleaner, smaller and more easily read code. This means it’s now much easier for me to add features, which I’ve already done! It is ...

Drunken Monkey Labs, Now In Colour!

Sunday, July 15th 2007

screenshot fo drunkenmonkey labs site The Labs have a brand new design. This time I went for a colourful design using the basics, red, green, blue, violet, and yellow, as you'll see in the background. I tried to carry those colours throughout the whole design. The header is a dark violet to try to dull down the "jump in your face" colours in the background. I really wanted this design to jump of the page with colour. I tend to design very "monochromatically", so I hope I pulled it off. With a simple layout and bright colours I think I might have achieved something close ...

Matt Read, The Weblog: Version Oceanus

Thursday, May 31st 2007

screenshot of this theme Well my new design, code named Oceanus, is finally (mostly) complete. It's been up for a while but I just haven't took the time to talk about it. My goal in this design was to create a simple, easy to read design without being boring, like so many "simple" designs out there.

"neater" ;). My new archives, well, they're just rockin. I love ...

Thinking About URI's

Sunday, April 1st 2007

I'm trying to come up with a new URI design for my site. My thinking is to "version" everything by date. So for example, I could have /blog/post-slug/2007-04-01. There might only be one version of most blog posts, but it would allow for "follow up" posts on the same topic at a letter date. My second thought is to use the content-type in the URI, /content-type/post-slug/version; Giving something like, /entry/post-slug/2007-04-01, or /page/about/2007-04-01. A URI without the version would simply be the latest version, /page/about. This also lends well to my projects. I would maybe have a content-type of "project", so ...
