I wasn’t so happy about yesterday’s changes. I hate changing the layout because I know it will take me a while to think of one that I will like for more than 2 hours. Luckily, I stumbled upon the Pastie blog which happens to be one of the many sites I visit. This is it, I have an idea. I remember dreaming about having a layout that looks like a sheet of paper and the Pastie blog is a perfect example of that. For the record I am not stealing the design, I am inspired by it. Why did I say that? Because there had been issues about copyrighted “look and feel” which had been talked about in the Pastie blog. I just want to be clear on that point.

Finally, a real update after a long time. Here are the changes:

- Theme. Yes, it may look like I didn’t but I really did changed it. If you’ve been here before you’ll notice that it’s not so colorful anymore. I’ve also removed my picture on the sidebar. It was a hard decision but I don’t see the point of having my picture there. I also added Tags so people can quickly identify the nature of my posts which no one cares about.

- Syntax Highlighting. For nerds only. I hope you appreciate my new code syntax highlighting. It’s simpler than the old one with alternating row colors.

- WordPress. Updated to the latest WP version which is 3.0.1.

- Logo. Changed color to plain white and removed the distorted effect. Still kept the binary background and japanese text underneath.

- jQuery. Again, for nerds only. I updated my Javascript library to the latest version which is 1.4.3.
- jQuery back to top link should be working just fine. Tested and made sure it is compatible.

- Other stuff. Things even if I tell no one will see it.

Looking forward to more updates.

I was checking my files on the server and I saw my old home pages that I’ve created before and thought I have deleted them already. Here they are: (click on the image to see the actual page)

Home page when I have completely nothing setup yet.

Blog splash screen when I first used Japanese characters as main elements for design. Page will redirect to the blog after 15 seconds.

Home page when I decided to close my blog for a while because I got super lazy to update.

Changed the home page again, I decided to make it blue this time with my in-game character in GoonZu (MMORPG) named agyuku (with his pink pet bunny). This is more like an under construction page because I planned something for my home page and make the blog just a part of it but it didn’t work out. Blog is back up when I used this one.
