This Is Year Zero

Well, it wasn’t supposed to be, but I forgot that my MovableType settings are to show only the last (x) days, so as I haven’t been posting for the post month, it looks a bit like a clean slate. Never fear, the previous six years of blathering are still around. They’re just a little harder to get to right now.

The new design is a mixture of inspiration from Subtraction, Jan Tschichold’s The New Typography (yes, that was me reading it on the bus this week, 27A Stagecoach fans!) and Kenickie’s Get In album. I was thinking about having a jQuery-powered accordion menu on the right-hand-side of the page, but after playing about with a Last.fm widget for about five minutes, I decided just to have the flickr and dopplr boxes for the moment. That may change in the future.

It’s still a work in progress, and it’s still not entirely finished, but I think it’s at the point where it can be used while I go back and fill in the missing bits (archives, comment response pages, etc) later. That’s the plan, anyhow. I may get distracted by shiny things in the meantime.

Comments, complaints, and anything else appreciated!
