The IT Crowd is back!
The IT crowd, a show about geeks and obviously for geeks, has finally aired Season 2 Episode 1 this past week. No sooner had it aired, it was put up online. I’m normally not a big fan of British TV but I think this is really great, though it may just be the content talking. You can check out more info on Boing Boing’s post about it.
Or you can just watch it and all the episodes on their Stage 6 channel.
SN Update: New layout coming
I’ve decided that with the new content I’m going to create a new layout as well There is a lot of stuff that this layout just isn’t doing that many other sites out there are. I want to include some of those features in here and I might as well get to doing it now. I haven’t started on it yet, but it’s swirling in my mind. Some features/changes will include:
- Making the feed more available. I want people to see the easy option to be able to subscribe.
- Digg integration. I’ve noticed a lot of sites are adding ‘Digg This!’ and it seems to work really well.
- Removing multiple CSS. Though being able to change the color of the site is cool, I think I’m going to remove it.
- Not going to use the calendar anymore. I don’t think it’s actually being used, so I’ll just leave up the Recent Posts and Categories.
- Webchat will be removed (nobody uses it anyway)
- Links will be revised and most likely removed with the exception of hostees.
- In short, the website will be stripped down to feature only the blog posts in their simplest forms.
Update: I’m resetting the entire site back to Movable Type defaults. Because my site was created based on the MT 3 system, there are a lot of features completely missing from the code. On top of that, i did a really bad job at organizing and it will need to be redone. To save time, it is therefore being set to default to wipe out the old layout. I’ll look into customizing the site once I start on the new layout, so some features might be unusable for a few days.
Update 2: I’ve avoided sleeping and have all the previous features that will be returning working correctly (I think). That means I have to move on to the design itself. This modified version that is up now is kind of growing on me, I think I’m going to use this as a base instead of going full new. Yes, I’m being lazy. So now that part should take awhile, since I have to create a logo and such. So if anybody has any great ideas for a logo speak now or forever hold your peace.
