Various

Just a general update about what I've been working on recently.

And the problem actually is that I haven't been working much. I didn't update 1UP last friday and I'm not sure I will this one. I did, however, update Samurai Nintendo, which is worth mentioning given that it had been left almost a month without a change.

The falsely-creepy Project Churchyard has been receiving most attention. It's moving along well, though I'm not sure it'll be finished this week. Tonight I finished adjusting some features, I'll have several additional checks to make tomorrow. What is still going to take time is:

1./ the design; it's simple so far and will probably remain like that, but I need to add some details though I don't know exactly where.

2./ the structure; should I add some features ? make things differently ? which sections should I make ? mostly questions in search of answers.

3./ the testing; this is a weird site and I'm afraid it won't work as well on the server than in localhost on my computer, we'll see.

I should also think of a name, I haven't found one yet, and then buy a domain (again) and change the current logo I use for testing. Aww, what a pain.

I haven't worked on any other projects, and that's bad because Project Churchyard is really not that ambitious. One thing I did though is to think of my blogs, this one and Metaphorink, and I decided I will sawp the content ! That's an annoying idea actually, because that means a lot of work ahead and I really don't feel like doing it. But I think this blog will be much easier to maintain in Tabulas than here. I'm really not in love with Blogger. Why don't they have categories ? That's what annoys me the most; categories would be very handy for such a blog. There's also the interface, which is pretty slow, why always those "republish your blog", why the heck can't it be all automatic ?

And here, in the create/edit post section, you can't even modify the date, or if you can, it's very well hidden. I think Tabulas has some major issues too, too many features make it very confusing to use for instance, but in the end I prefer it over Blogger. Though the real problem is, in my opinion, that neither of them are handy to use. Blogs are so popular and still the interface in both case is so awkward. Did I mention that the automatic bold text appear in a "span style=font-weight:bold;" tag instead of a plain "b" ?? They really like to use complex formula over here, ridiculous !
