Garoo

I have to completely reprogram Gayattitude and I’m as far from motivated as I can be. I largely prefer to deal with the layout and setup of a new blog, using DotClear. (Which I chose because it looks well designed, and much more pleasant to use than WordPress1.) The blog isn’t for me, and it will be announced later, if it is.

Creating a blog, making a nice, simple layout, now that’s interesting. Reprogramming a site that’s already open, that’s already working (even though it gets slow by 11pm), in order to change the way it works (I’m going to have to write cron jobs to generate the whole chat in HTML static files, because that ought to be the only way for the server not to explode), whereas I haven’t got any idea for the graphical redesign (which I have to do because the current frames layout generates too much traffic — yes, it’s a bit paradoxical for a frameset, I know) is horribly uninteresting.

I’d love to enroll someone to code for me, in exchange for some toast and pop corn, but I wouldn’t, because I don’t trust anyone to put their dirty hands in my scripts.

So for now I reduced the chat’s auto-reload delay. It’ll let the server survive. Or it won’t. Suspense.

1 : I mean, come on. In WordPress, if you want a post to be cut on the homepage, you have to type <!–more–> where you want the cut to be. How could it be any less user-friendly?

Want to know when I post new content to my blog? It's a simple as registering for free to an RSS aggregator (Feedly, NewsBlur, Inoreader, …) and adding www.garoo.net to your feeds (or www.garoo.net if you want to subscribe to all my topics). We don't need newsletters, and we don't need Twitter; RSS still exists.

Euh... Les blogs ne vont pas planter, hein ? ^^;

Cela ne serait pas possible d'acheter davantage de capacité pour le site, et qu'en échange de ce confort les inscrits soient mis à contribution... enfin c'est une suggestion, peut-être pas réalisable simplement (et puis est-ce que les inscrits suivront). Comme l'on voit de plus en plus la fin des services gratuits sur le web, en particulier dans l'info, il faut croire que ce modèle, certes généreux et historique, arrive à ces limites quand il n'est pas/plus adossé à une structure (organisation, société...) pouvant le financer.
