Meet Arata

Published at Friday, March 14 2008

It has been too long since my last post but to make up for it, meet Arata. This is my first design that I have not grown to despise before I finished, and I owe that to Clint and Michael. Clint for introducing me to Blueprint, and Michael for his fantastic sense of style that makes up for me not having any. iPhone users, there is even a mini version for you too! All of the fuctionality of version 0.1 is not plugged in yet, but I just could not hold back on Arata any longer!

I saw this at work today, I was rather appalled.
 
if (x == true) {
   if (x == false) {
      x = true;
   }
}

Status Update

Tiny and hidden updates have slowly been trickling in, with many more on their way. Recently I plugged in a meta tag framework allowing me to link next and previous posts. Shortly posts will receive the gift of tags, which will also start appearing in the meta tags.

While comments have been implemented for some time now, the whole processes has been cleaned up and locked down a bit. A pain free, fresh and clean implementations of ‘captcha’ will be making an appearing relatively soon as well.

In addition to tags and captchas, feeds are also in the works as are trackbacks and search. Once basic usability has been established, updates on the front end will be on hold for a bit while I brew up an interface for myself. While I love the command line and all, it’s not optimal for adding posts and checking for new comments.

Wow, could a post be any less interesting?

I’m transfering my domain, I don’t think there will be any issues for y’all; but DNS internets stuff always makes my head spin.

I am always a big fan of infinite loops, this is one of the best ones that I have seen yet.
 
Visitor#visitGroup(Group g) {
   g.accept(this);
}

Group#accept(Visitor v) {
   v.visitGroup(this);
}
