This is as days pass by, by Stuart Langridge

And this is A couple more things, written , and concerning Uncategorized

I fiddled with the design again,, as you may have noticed, after everyone in the universe complained about it :)

Thinking about a new machine to replace angel, this webserver, I am bloody tempted by the idea of Xbox-Linux, especially since there's an unofficial Debian port. You need a modchip for the Xbox to run it: where do you get that kind of thing from? Computer shops? Or is there some kind of underground black market? It'd be great to not have to worry about the hardware etc all fitting together right, I don't need to worry too much about special USB plug converters because the box is headless and remotely hosted and therefore doesn't need a mouse and keyboard, and it looks like I could probably pick one up for sixty quid or so on eBay. Besides which, it would be cool upon cool. Modchips seem to be about thirty quid after a quick web search, so with less than a ton I'd have a full-on functional super box. With a big X on top.

I notice that the dates look better. Did you brighten them up, or is the difference laptop vs. desktop-CRT (which is whence I wrote the original comment on them not being legible)?

I tried it with a larger font, and have to agree: it’s quite ugly.So, I tried the following: body#www-kryogenix-org{font-weight:bolder;}The side panels didn’t look right, and the main text was better but taken a little too far: body#www-kryogenix-org #blog {font-weight:bold}Perfect. Everything is readable, less headache-inducing and better looking.

See, I’m unsure about the font thing. I think it looks really ugly with a larger font, so my instinctive reaction is to say: make the font size bigger in your browser. Or putbody#www-kryogenix-org { font-size: larger }in your user stylesheet.And every time I think that I feel like a complete heel, because people shouldn’t have to fix my site for me…

Any chance of either making the text bolder or larger? It gets quite painful to read from where the side image overlaps the main body into the main body itself. It seriously gave me a headache.

Okay, Design is nice, far better than the old one, which was too blue. (Look! Irony!) but your Vellum page is more broken than a very broken thing. Also, On second thoughts, Polygon is a crap name, so don’t use it. And this has no link to my wanting to use it myself at all :-)

Yes, I can read this ;)I like it.

Searching Google for “X2Pro” is enlightening. Also check out the forums at http://xemulation.com/ , which is where the original Linux-on-XBox hack was announced.

Brighten up the date a bit. I can’t read it. Other than that, fantabulous.
