I have not died. Rather, I am spending every free moment of my time recoding tumbledry to better serve everyone’s needs. What does recode mean?
Well.
Everything is brand new from top to bottom. New database, new front end (the part you see), spanking new page design, new back end (the part I see), every line of code revised or rewritten. I’ve gone through so many iterations of the design it makes my head spin, and have written about 3500 lines of code.
The new site will feature comments on any links, posts, and images added to the site. Images, you say? Why yes, there will be a daily image on tumbledry now. Every day, a new image, plain and simple. The site will also feature “tags.” That is, bits of text that identify information. The picture I took while at the theater to see “You, Me, And Everyone We Know” will be tagged with that movie’s name, as will my link to the review of it, and the post about my impression of it. So, information will be organized much better.
Comments are turned off because this is all running on the old database, and anything new that you say or I say needs to be moved over by hand to the new site. This is extra work I do not need.
Thank you for your loyal support and visits, and you will see the new version of tumbledry in two weeks at the most. I am looking forward to a long discussion about the redesign.
Catch you on the redesigned tumbledry.
Love,
Alex
Library of Congress Sound Recording - Saving sounds for the posterity - fantastic idea, well executed. Great website.
Pop lock - This is a small combination lock to protect your 20 ounce beverage, soft drink, or anything else. Genius.
Keyboard with tiny screens for each key - The Optimus keyboard is an incredibly useful keyboard evolution - but 200-300 as the projected price? That better be lower. As a a commentor points out:
“Very nice and perhaps useful for some professions, but as a consumer I’d have to say they’re missing my budget for next year’s keyboard expenditures by an entire decimal place.”
Slashdot links: original article & follow-up.
iPod 4G Battery Replacement - Because I will be Googling my website for this in a couple of years when my iPod’s battery is dead.
Atari Video Music - This would be a perfect compliment to music at parties: “these AVM patterns were not a subtle blend of colors and shapes morphing together that you’d have playing in the background of your mellow 70’s cocktail party. Instead, the AVM produced an onslaught of spastic pulsing patterns that gyrated at an eye-numbing speed across the TV. The patterns are comparable to the seizure-inducing anime from the 90’s that sent a whole nation of Japanese kids into an upchucking frenzy.”
F-Train: On Insurance - If I could choose a way to write, this would be it. They say every great writer has a deep pain, an inner unrest; I don’t know if that is true of Paul Ford, but if inner pain is correlated to quality of writing, his must be very great.
Church and State in the US - The New York times supplies an impressivley even-handed description of the current church/state debate in the US. If you read an article about politics this month, read this one.
