Holy Jesus Christ on a pogostick. I can’t wait to get 4 online and get this ugly and by now rotten and slightly soggy and sorry looking code-mess out of my face. Now if only I could stop time.
So I’m not answering your mail just now, because I have a lot of work (the kind I’m paid for) I need to do, and between sleeping, an hour with Rikke each night and the bus ride to and from work, there isn’t a lot of time left.
I’m also not writing any interesting things just now, for the same reason. That, and whatever time I do have left over, I spend on playing around with 4. Far from being a ‘revolution’, it’ll be more of an effort in making BB feel homey again, and in alleviating the fundamental problems that the current design has in structuring the site and the information on it.
In other words: Don’t expect too much ;)
Meanwhile, I’ll change the header and colors around so as to not tire too much of them. Don’t let this confuse you, 4 isn’t done until you see Freya once again gracing the header.
As every so often, a redesign might not be about coming up with a new layout. Rather about adjusting all of your templates.
Indeed. My “redesign” was graciously linked up here, even though it was more of an overdue adjustment to an existing design.
I for one am seriously looking forward to it — already knowing it’ll be great ;)
Don’t you have CSS’ of your old designs?
Of course I do. But that won’t serve you that much if you change your markup every now and then, will it?
I’m with Joen – lookin’ forward to seeing what you’re planning. ;)
Take your time, there is no rush. And whoever thinks differently can go to hell. :)
Who is Freya, or why did you choose that name? That’s the name of my cat.
You must be busy since you haven’t redeemed your free poster prize!
Speaking of redesigns, I had fun getting only top level categories to show up on my links blog frontpage, and then for subcategories only to show on category pages…
Once things settle down, give me a hollar with your poster of choice and I’ll mail it ASAP :-)
Best wishes,

I can imagine the hard work. And don’t worry, man, sepent all the time you need with 4.
By the way, Freya look really nice.
Clay, Freya is the name I chose for the pinup girl. Also the name I chose for my Powerbook, because as you know, the toys of boys have to have female names…
JD, I am really busy. I’ll try and get around to it asap.
Hey, I named my server xavier and my workstation logan.
What does that say about me? Am I a girl?
Maybe I should name my workstation jean.
No, that would classify you as a geek with affection for mutants :)
My Powerbook’s called Nicole. My server Jenny. And I also have a yet-to-fix Sun SPARC Station 5 named Trudi… :D
Freya is a wonderful name, though…
Are we filled with gays and lesbos in here? ;-)
