Older blog entries for suso (starting at number 2)

Randomsig has been coming along quite nicely. I haven't made the next version release yet and I think to keep things on the semi-beta side I'm going to release version 1.9 instead of 2.0. Writing randomsig has helped me learn a ton of extra useful Perl tricks and things that I can now use when I start back up on news2html development, which will happen soon since I'm so inspired to code lately.

Later that afternoon

Randomsig 1.9 has been released. YEA!!!! Uh, I think I'll go take a break now. :-)

I think I'm going to try to post a diary entry here more often since this advogato place is snowballing. This weekend I've been spending a lot of time improving my randomsig program. I think I'm going to release version 2.0 tommorow.

I recently released a newer design for the suso.org website. I wanted to play more on the Side Scrolling Technology which, if I didn't invent, I at least coined the term. I don't think people are really understanding the whole idea of SST. It's not that I just want to do something different. It's also about making sure we're not just vertical. If you think about it, too many things on the computer have been vertically oriented. The mouse wheel, page up/down keys and also the NAME=#location tags that you use on a webpage for moving around on the same page don't work right on a side scrolling site.

This should not be since sometime in the future websites may be restricted from astetic growth because of such limitations in browser and interface technologies.

But alas, it's not the first(or probably the last) time that people fail to understand me.

I've started development on news2html back up and have added some new features and fixed some syntax problems. I'm not going to make a version release just yet because I'd like to add at least one major feature like "article threading" or "multiple group support". Using a lay-z-boy or other fine recliner to plop down in front of your workstation while you hack away at code really helps me out.
