bytebot.net gets plain jane html redesign

I figured it was time to redesign, what was essentially 2004, on bytebot.net. Its 2007, so with the power of “badges”, I’ve made the site feel a lot more updated. I’m feeding photos from my Flickr account, last played music via last.fm (I’m not really big on their widget, but I’m trying hard to not have to parse rss myself), bookmarking via del.icio.us (with comments, so its also occasionally blog-like), and micro-blogging via Twitter.

The fact that I can still do all this entirely in HTML (with great help from JavaScript and some help from CSS), still amazes me – who needs PHP! For constantly static text, Apache does server side includes, something I’ll be using in due time, when I fix/template all the local content. I have to update the talks page (so many Impress files sitting all around).

Anyways, if you’ve got a Twitter account, I’m bytebot there. Who else is twittering?

    http://beta.aizatto.com/ the power of static html and js :3 yum. Okay I separate the tabs into different files, and include them via PHP. But that’s all! I swear!

    cool. definitely got to look into that google reader displaying current blog posts feature.

    i guess i can also use php as opposed to apache SSI. either way, it’ll work, just haven’t decided what i’ll do in due time.

    kudos for the “beta” idea as well – i just push things live :)
