Updates and… updates
First on the updates agenda, I uploaded new versions of both my Content Negotiation class (which is renamed to Content Negotiator) and shorten_text. Very minor changes, mostly just the before-mentioned name change and I changed my double quotes back to single quotes. I had been using single quotes throughout my time at the Berglund Center and began moving to double quotes. But then I read an article saying single quotes are faster and I felt kind of foolish. I just wish the newline escape was supported. I mean seriously, that’s like the only disallowed escape sequence I ever try to use!
The next item on the agenda is regarding the eventual update to this web site. Yup, if you have not already heard, I am going to update the BluHelix Studios web site soon (TM). But while this is still in the drafting stage I wanted to pose a question to you, my one (more?) reader. Is the calendar useful at all? Has anyone actually browsed to it? The calendar used to be tied into my front page and show a “what’s coming up this week” box. Unfortunately the script for the box was buggy and so I disabled it, but the calendar remains functional. Anyway, I see three possibilities:
- Keep the same calendar system, with possible code upgrades
- Ditch the custom calendar and tie in a professional web-based one, either an open source PHP solution or a Google integration.
- Forget the calendar entirely.
Note that I don’t expect option 2 to be difficult – we’d just lose the single-sign-in model.
Please post comments in the forum. I would make a poll but I fear I just don’t have the visitor base for it!
