me in the sun Almost feeling back to normal again. The horrible sickness has faded mostly. Now I just feel like I have been sick. Heh. Bah to my brain. Spent some time yesterday doing really ickle bits to freakcity. You can now change username once every 30 days — this should mean if someone wants to move to a better name they can but should stop abuse with people changing it over and over. If you change username everything stays the same, you still have the same linked friends and everything, they’re still linked to you, it’s all groovy. Changed the login system a little, you can now log in with either your username or email address, so if a user has forgotten their username they can still access the site. Little things I still need to do: Change news Implement a UI for linked friend comments Picture comments Avatars More smileys Add security question Mood chooser on login page Make the error checking a bit better/more integrated Ajax voting for links/quotes More toolbar items (-strikethrough-, image placement, links) Birthdays Big things I still need to do: revamp the dick a bit change “Diary” to “Events” implement new events views, so you can switch between diary view and most recently added view Implement event reminders Split profiles from the profile add more to profiles add more customization to blogs (references, etc) Ajax voting for forums More ways to lay out blogs (multiple day views, etc) Blog security. Gather links/quotes/dick (and new section: rants) under the heading “toys” on the main menu More text refinements (lists, bulleted lists, blocked out data) So, plenty to keep me busy. Chatted to Steve some. He thinks we should make a UK BC using FC code and nicking all their good ideas Decided I’m probably going to seperate Novak from firewalling, I can whack Methuselah under my bed with linux on it, plug it straight into the phoneline. It’s quiet...then I can not crash the whole net connection whenever Novak restarts. Chatted to James briefly about his soekris — looks deeply cool but I’m going to try the Methuselah thing first. He runs something called m0n0wall, a BSD based firewall, I found an old version that’s hacked to work with the speedtouch stuff, but it’s a very old version. I think I’ll give it a miss until I give up on the speedtouch completely. Soekris boxen look SO very cute. beta’s now up and running again, I’ll be beta testing the bigger changes I make, but the small ones I’ll move straight over to the live site I think. It’s tiiiime for me to chaaaange things. Doors are opening. Makes me feel better. Streetwars is already in trouble Danny says apparently there’s been a heatwave warning put out by the NHS. I should buy sandals... Flat tyres on bike on way to work this morning. I suspect that perhaps I overloaded it somewhat on Saturday. I wondered why I’d cycled home yesterday feeling like I was limping along. Bah. Cycled past a motorcycle accident on Commercial Road last night. Possibly fatal. Police cordon around a trashed bike and blood splashed all over the road. Hope I don’t end up like that. Pretty sunset again. I’ve been complemented lots on the B&W picture I took of me in the sunset Sunday. Am chuffed. Today I’m working in the head again. A new tag. New bugs. No fixing stuff I already mended. So work will be better. Going to go wander and find somewhere green at lunch I think, have my pasta+sauce in my bag, will nuke it and bike to Soho Sq again. Lunches in the Summer sun make working in Covent Garden glorious. Tonight I may sauna, not sure yet. Might just go home and start on some of my todo list for freakcity. Slowly getting my energy levels up to an acceptable level, slowly
