An interview in dutch with Frank my new boss at Framfab.
Framfab: overleven als doel

excellent! IBM has built the hot-swappable computer. Plug into a screen/keyboard combo and you have a workstation, then pull it out and shove it in a PDA shell and you have your win2k with you on the road. win2k? yep it’s a 800mhz, 128mb ram, 10gb harddisk unit. It even has a 3D card built in. Portable Quake anyone?

Looking at some examples of navigational elements to get into the look-and-feel thing of a new design. These are some examples of excellent icon design.

I feel more for the clean look of the second design, but both are great. Check the USEmedia site for an interesting navigation too b.t.w.

transitioning to another domain and server host and from blogger to movabletype, so if you experience any troubles; don’t worry it’ll pass.

ok, couldn’t wait and moved the domain to eNom as a precaution. Yes eNom is a fine registrar, no I don’t get paid to say that… Am I boring you?

[more goals:]
- a design that looks good in Internet Explorer 6 too.

To achieve all this grand functionality I’ll be moving my site to a new hosting company that allows web based administration, instead of the actual-person-based administration that I have to deal with now (which is way to innefficient). I think I’ll move to the dutch company Protagonist which is cheap (30mb -> 69euro/year) and has a reasonable amount of options. If you have any good/bad experience with them or know an even better hosting party tell me…

Working on a redesign of this site. Goals:
- more ‘integrated’ look enhancing readibility/overview.
- based on Movable Type for more flexibility…
- ..and allowing for more automization and features (XML feed!)
- categorized blog subjects
- content emphasis more on web architecture than web development.
- more articles.
- better use of photography/graphic elements.
Since I have no farking time at all expect a release date of 2013.
