And finally here it is: I launched right now this site’s redesign. I haven’t put a lot of work on it but I’m pleased with the final results. I like minimalism and monochrome designs, and even though this isn’t the most minimalist design ever, I think it’s a good compromise. Taking advantage from opportunity, I added some new features to the site (and removed some old ones).
The biggest change is the right column: now integrates my pownce feed. I’m still trying to understand why it doesn’t show nothing but simple posts, but I’ll fix it someday (that’s not my fault though, I’m using a wordpress plugin). And all the stuff that previously were on the right, now are on the very bottom of the page.
Just a couple of rants: I wish this was powered from django and I hate wordpress.
Despite the fact that I usually develop cool web stuff for other guys, I’m not really into the whole web2.0 thing. Although I subscribed to services like flickr, last.fm and google reader shares, I don’t use them very much (nor I publicize them a lot, although there’s a whole section for them on the right).
This time I decided to give to a web2 app a new chance of getting me addicted: twitter. Quite sure that I won’t last that much, but at least I tried… See you on twitter!
This is more a remainder for me: in order to make the surround work for mp3s with the CA0106 driver with alsa (for me it’s a Sound Blaster Live! 24 bit), here’s the .asoundrc that should be used:
pcm.!dmix {
type plug
slave {
pcm surround51
channels 6
}
}
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm "dmix"
slave.channels 6
route_policy duplicate
}
Just subscribed to Pownce. Still trying to understand if I’ll ever use it.
