New paintjob, engine tuning. Oh, and some content!
Lots of new things happening. New theme, since the previous one was horrid in usability wise, and someone would say that it is a cardinal sin on usability site. And I would agree. Some minor fine tuning done to the theme, lots of still to do.
Things are happening under the hood also. New blog is AJAX driven (thanks to AJAXed WordPress), which should make the user experience better by reducing load times; for me this was huge leap from the days without no AJAX, since I’m still a prisoner of this dreaded choppy WLAN; load times improved 50-100%. Rather nice, I would say, makes using/updating the whole thing tad more bearable. Also, if the AJAX engine works as it is supposed to be (mainly just loading the content), it should also drop some bandwith usage, since the last surge to Top 10 Usability highs of Mac OS – Debunked dropped the whole site down; one link in mac site and there we are. Next up, SuperCache?
Also lots of general tinkering here and there.
Without content, however, there is nothing. No fear there, things happening around articles too; one “random thoughts/offtopic” article (Offtopic of the day: Viruses to permanently change social networking?) is out and currently I’m writing couple of new articles about certain user interface concept (concept and example). They are out when they are done, can’t really tell about specific time since I am currently writing when I feel like it and I have lots of other things to handle anyways. All I can say that the wait won’t be too long.
That’s it for now. Stay tuned.
