My homepage's age is now measured in double digits!
Work has kept me very busy lately, so I didn't have time to implement all the changes I wanted to make in honour of this awesome occasion.
Nothing new has been added, but there are a few changes worth mentioning:
- improved layout
- more standards compliant
- significantly reduced power consumption
I'll post more later.
- Web Site's Eighth B-Day
Sunday, July 2, 2006 (Link)
-
To celebrate my web site's eighth B-Day, I've added a WCISA that I discovered when I was in grade eight: Everything from Onions to Pneumatic Drills.
Don't let anyone control your mind!
- RSS

-
Nanoman.ca now has an RSS feed!
I was too busy at the time to add this feature as part of my homepage's big seventh anniversary update back in July.
Some other things also had to be temporarily nixed, but I'm sure I'll get around to adding those one day.
Feel free to point your RSS reader to http://www.nanoman.ca/rss/.

I've added a page where I rant about the F-Lock key that exists on keyboards with "enhanced" function keys.
You can read it here.

After nearly four years of neglect, my web site has finally been updated with something worth mentioning!
I decided last month that it was time for me to clean up this old thing.
The layout had not changed since May of 1999, and posting minor updates was painfully tedious.
There have been a lot of changes made to the layout:
-
A menu bar has been added to the top of the page.
Some pages didn't have the menu bar on the left, and it made navigating more difficult than it needed to be.
Both contain the same information, but only the top menu bar is displayed on every page.
-
The colour scheme has changed.
I was even less aesthetically inclined when I designed the old layout than I am today, so the colours I picked in 1999 were anything but the best.
It should now be a lot easier to read everything.
-
Fonts have been removed.
Some systems and web browsers didn't display things exactly the way I wanted, so I chose to simply stop using them altogether.
-
A "random links" box has been added to the top of the page.
There were a lot of pages and web sites I wanted to link to from somewhere, but I could never find an appropriate spot.
I didn't want to make a typical "Links" page, so I settled for a box that displays whatever random link I feel like putting up.
Many pages have been removed:
-
Operation: Questionable Theses
I haven't decided yet whether or not I'll put this page back up.
It represented a cause that is still very important to me, but my extensive collection of notes that I continue to make on the subject have never been tidy.
I'm going to need a lot of time to organize everything into a compilation that will work well as a web page.
Also, I don't plan to live in suburbia for much longer.
-
Stuff that is Humorous
There are so many web sites devoted to humorous stuff that it seems pointless to maintain yet another.
Anyone looking for humorous stuff need not look any further than Google.
-
Hate Mike Harris!
Mike Harris retired from politics years ago, and Ontario's Conservative Party lost the last provincial election.
This page was too outdated to keep.
-
BOO-YEAH!
BOO-YEAH! is ancient history.
It officially ran from May 17, 1999 until June 25, 1999, when I stopped attending regular classes at a horrific Catholic high school.
I transferred to a good non-Catholic school the following February, where I thoroughly enjoyed my time and all the great people I met.
-
The Code Page
Hundreds (if not thousands) of great codes and puzzles web sites that are frequently updated already exist on the Internet.
Google Almighty can quickly pick out some of the best.
-
The New Page
Nowadays, almost everyone has their own message board, forum, blog, or whatever.
I don't have the time required to moderate something like that, so I'm not going to bother starting another.
-
My Guestbook
One of the things I enjoy most is meeting new people.
Though I'd really like it if I was able to get to know a little bit about every person who surfed in, my schedule dictates otherwise.
I do, however, thank those who took the time to say hello.
-
Weet
Yes, I let go of the most useless page on my web site.
Personally, I thought it was funny to dedicate an entire page to a word I seldom use, but after six years, the joke has run dry.
Farewell, weet!
-
Found a Problem?
First, I appreciate everyone who generously took the time to submit corrections and bug reports.
Life's too short to have to worry about every flaw that exists in my web site, so I took this page down.
If something's wrong with my web site that needs to be fixed, it's still relatively easy to contact me.
The right bar on my homepage has been modified:
-
The poll section was removed.
I originally put it up to add some interactivity, but my traditional goal has been to host my original content.
This is my web site, and I will do what I please.
-
The Most Expired Plate section was taken down.
Even though it was unusual and I like strange things, this was another section designed to promote interactive content.
I'm perfectly capable of remembering the most expired license plate that I've seen, as well as when and where I saw it.
I broke my old record late last year, but never posted the new data.
-
My ICQ online status indicator was removed.
Jabber has been my primary instant messaging service for a while now, so the ICQ indicator lost its ability to properly display when I was online.
-
My SETI@home completed workunits count has been added.
Anyone curious about my progress needs only to visit my homepage.
I had planned on adding a new page to my web site, but that addition will have to wait.
Again, if I had more time, it would have been ready.
Thank you to everyone who has visited my web site over the past seven years and to everyone who may visit in the future.
