I’m still unhappy with the opening page, but I have no real time to change it just now. Looking through my referrer logs I’ve learnt that Mezan’s site accounts for the most links to my site. I’ve also discovered that this site links to my home page. I think the girl must have come across it via photoblogs.org. There is lots of interesting stuff in your web log files.

I should be working on my compilers project right now. The plan is to start as soon as I post this message.
My website changes are going smoothly enough. I fixed a stupid bug in Mozilla that would draw images that were links really funny, so now all you mozilla users shouldn’t see strange blue borders and off center images where they existed before. I redid the front index page a little more. I am still not happy with the way it looks, and the way it is laid out is a bit of a hack job.
Also, I’ve managed to make the page look almost identical to Shima’s page now.

Well this is it. Blogger has served me well for many months but I have decided to move on. I recommend blogger whole-heartedly to anyone who wants a nice simple blog. It is by far the easiest to set up and use. I’ll miss it, but I wanted to do stuff it just can’t do now. Please go to my new blog page if you aren’t there already.

I’m a bit closer to what I want. I’ve moved over to moveable type. There are CSS bugs I will need to fix but that will be done eventually. The index page at www.funkaoshi.com will also change slightly as I am unhappy with not displaying the full text of a post on that page. Also, I will eventually display a thumbnail of the current post in my photoblog there, but this isn’t being done yet. Please let me know of any bugs you find, and what you think. Sorry to the 3 of you who read my blog and find it annoying I can’t settle on a place to put it.

I’ve gotten more of the Moveable Type install working. What is left to do now is write up templates for Comments, Trackbacks and Individual entries. I want to import all my old blogger entries into Moveable Type as well. I’m not sure how well this works, if it works at all. Finally, I want to figure out a good way to generate a thumbnail for the current photo of the day. I could do this manually, and may do so.

I think when it comes to my blog, I am more interested with actually making pages, layouts, and coming up with ideas for presentation, then actually writing blog entries. It seems to me that many of my entries in my blog are about things I plan to do with this web space. Here is one more such entry.
I am thinking of making this domain an about page, and moving the blog to www.funkaoshi.com/immactulate/. This would match up with how We Must Abuse the Broadband is being served up. The other option would be to make a domain abuse.funkaoshi.com for the photo site. I’m not sure which I like more. I don’t know if I am putting too much thought in to how URLs look or not. Anyone reading have an opinion one way or the other?
My plan with the index page at www.funkaoshi.com is to take the most recent entry from here, and display that, and take the most recent photo from the photoblog and display that. I think that would make it a more functional index page then simply having links to the other two sites. So, to do this, I may infact switch to Moveable Type sooner rather then later for this blog.
This entry contradicts almost everything I said in the previous post.
Good night all.

I’ve moved the blog to it’s new home at ramanan.funkaoshi.com. It should be here indefinitely. Other changes are the use of blogkomm to allow for readers to comment on posts. I had originally planned to move the blog to Moveable Type, and may still do so one day, but currently it seems that for this site blogger works quite well.

There are still some quirks I am trying to fix. The way comments look and display now aren’t too my liking. I think other then that though, the pages here are quite similar to the pages served up by blogger. I’m actually contemplating not doing this at all, because it seems that MT adds a lot of complications to a set of pages that are quite simple. What I don’t get with blogger right now is individual archives. I don’t know if any of my posts are memorable enough to warrant them anyways. I may scrap this project, and move the blogger pages to this domain.

the desktapo. I wanted to make a page about my friends desktops, so here it is. I don’t know how it will change with time, but I asked my friends for their desktop pictures a long time ago, and thought it was about time I put something up.

I’m redirecting requests to my old web-space at the university of waterloo here till I figure out what I want to do with it.
21 November 2003, early evening
I expect to put something up here sometime soon besides the photo web-page. I’m not sure what exactly. I will continue to use blogger to maintain this page for the time being. I don’t think i’ll have time to work on much of anything till after exams are done with. I’m happy with this layout, though I think I need to fix the way the side bar of links looks. Any suggestions for what to do are appreciated. Check out “we must abuse the broadband”. I think i’m happy with that website now, and don’t expect to change it much at all.
20 November 2003, early evening
I now own the domain funkaoshi.com You can see my website there now. I will move this site over at some point in time as well. Chances are I will stop using blogger for this site as well, and manage everything with moveable type.

My photo website is back up (again) on my webspace with Sympatico.
7 October 2003, evening time
Had to erase all the photos on the photo site. I’m looking for webspace again. I keep you posted as to when the photos will be up again.

We Must Abuse the Broadband. My online gallery is back up. I’m hosting it on the same server this site is on for the time being. I hope to find a place which has plenty of web space for free in the near future. Till then, enjoy the photos.

All the pages on this site right now are valid XHTML 1.0 Strict. This probably doesn’t mean much to most anyone, but it makes me feel good inside. I’m having trouble validating my CSS, though I am most certain it is correct.
That said, there are still some problems with the site layout that need to be fixed. To see what I mean, check out the pipe dreams page.
30 August 2003, evening time
I have made this site using CSS and XHTML. That said, my XHTML is still not 100% correct. (For example, I’m missing alt-names for my images.) I’ll fix all of these problems shortly. I don’t think this should effect anyone viewing the page, unless you’re using a very anal web browser.

My photo site is down for the time being. I don’t have the webspace needed to leave it up. (It was also a pain to update and maintain.) I mocked up a version of the site that runs off my ibook using php and mysql. Unfortunatly finding free webspace that will let you use php and mysql is hard. I miss the days where freedom 2 surf was one such place.
This page will replace my old homepage at the university of waterloo. That page served me well for many years, but I thought it was time for something new.
I don’t know how frequently I will update this. I guess it depends on how exciting my next term at waterloo is.
