Refresh your browsers, I’ve just applied a very quick update to the site styles. It all looks similar, but under the hood I’ve removed the old and rather dated HTML layout (cough tables couch) and replaced it with one using YUI grids. I also made a few other small style tweaks to make posting lots of short posts in a row work a bit better, as well as doing a bit more tidying up of the tags. Tags: Merauderweb
For the past 6 years this site has been running on various versions of my own custom written Domino based system. Back in around 2000 when I started there weren't a lot of choices out there for personal web publishing systems. Now there are many, and in upgrading to Subtext I feel like I've got a lot of nice new features (including the ability to use Windows Live Writer, which I'm using to post this right now). It also means I now have one less thing residing on a Domino server - the decomissioning date for that server looms closer each day! However,...
Merauderweb has always been a celebration of chaos in terms of what gets posted here. It's been a bit light on informative articles at times, but hey, that's not really it's purpose. Looking back on the front page of posts, I realise that I really do cover a nice chaotic mix of subjects. If I was bored and browsing at work, then I'd be pretty sure to find something of interest here to brighten up my day.Technorati tags: Merauderweb
I've finished an update to the site design. The old design was pretty old and tired, and the HTML was awful. I've been meaning to spruce things up around here a bit, but have struggled to find the time recently, so it's nice to finally finish this and get it live - even if it has been a bit rushed. I ended up having to change a lot more of the behind the scenes workings of the site than I originally intended to, so I may have broken stuff. If you see anything which seems broken, please document.write("drop me a...
This post on drunkenblog echoes my thoughts on a linkblog.
Some days I sorta wish I had a link blog, because I go through a ton of things every day I'd like to point others towards, but don't have a few paragraphs worth to say about them...
The obvious solution that probably comes to mind is sucking in something like del.icio.us bookmarks in some form, but that won't really happen because I have zero desire for the world to see all of my bookmarks, which means I'd have to maintain two sets, and I'm way too lazy for that....

While updating the banner image I just checked the database for the oldest document. It seems I started this database in late 2000 (September roughly), and have been going ever since. In fact it's been the same database that I originally created, which has simply mutated and changed over the past 5 or so years.Technorati tags: Merauderweb
A few changes about the site over the next couple of weeks, or for however long it takes. Most of it is pretty subtle and behind the scenes, but should be followed by a visual rework afterwards.
- Added the site to Technorati
- Added Technorati tags to posts
- Fixed the searching, which has never been too slick.
- Fixed a couple of CSS glitches which have been annoying me for a while
- Updating the RSS Feed to support categories instead of single subjects

I don't have an Xbox 360 yet, and hell, they aren't even in the country until March, but that's not to stop me sorting out my gamertag in advance.
