You may have noticed that I've changed to a different WordPress theme (again). I've been meaning to do so for a while now, especially since the site has not been working in Microsoft Idiot ExploiterInternet Explorer.
I've thrown this theme together with little regard for aesthetics, and it's NOT permanent by any means. It's just a placeholder for now.
I've been spending some time playing with ideas, and each time I hit a browser compatibility snag or I realise the theme looks like every other Web 2.0 design and I lose enthusiasm. I've got a great idea for a fairly unique theme, but it's going to take a while (and a stack of tracing paper) to do properly, and I've got better things to do right now.
At this point, I'd usually insert a lengthy rant about how crappy CSS and HTML are, and this time I'd also go on about the horrendous code quality inside WordPress (and, it seems, every other PHP-based blogging package I can find)
For now, I'd appreciate it if you didn't judge my aesthetic taste or web design skills on this theme...
One of the "better things to do" involves Javascript, vectors, geometry and something called Verlet Integration. This is a bloody big job that will be far more impressive and fun than a funky groovy blog theme. It's also one of the many reasons I haven't updated this blog in a while... along with the more pertinent fact that I haven't really had anything relevant to say without giving away a bunch of ideas I want to develop first.
