New Framework
i managed to save the hypefighter directory from my tablet crash right before the drive unmounted itself. woot! you can see the results in the framework update.
i still have some layout work to do within the internal pages, but, i thought it would be fun to at least drop in the outer framework before i worked my way through the internals.
any weirdness you guys notice over the next few days is just because i'm working directly on the server.

The Great Tablet Crash of '07
yep. the tablet i usually do all my development on has finally died. it's been a sad week in hypefighter town.
in theory, the data should be fine (which is good since it's been forever since i backed up! erg!) but, i'm havin' trouble with it. i yanked out the 2.5" drive and hooked it up with an ide connector. the windows box would just hang.
then, i borrowed a usb external case from tj and hooked that up to the windows box. it just hung.
finally, i hooked it up to my linux box, manually mounted it and was able to pull a few files off before it hung.
good news is that i can probably pull the critical files i need. bad news is that it hangs randomly and i have to remount the drive.
yay.
so, i'm going to pull the hypefighter psd that i've been doing the layouts with. that'll at least get the site looking like i want it.
woot...

Tagline, Atom Feeds and a Logo
pushed through a lot of stuff this weekend. a few of the new things:
m3mnoch.
- a new tagline. the old one was "link-based combat." kind of boring. i decided the word "bookmark" was much more descriptive so now, we're "hypefighter: social bookmark combat." much more intriguing i think. we're like del.icio.us -- only your bookmarks kick the other bookmark's asses.
- we've now got an atom (because it's cooler than rss) feed for both this developer blog and newest articles.
- oh, and here's a logo i worked up. i'll drop it into the site soon.
- hypefighter: my bookmark can beat up your bookmark.
- hypefighter: pwned by a bookmark!
- hypefighter: social bookmark combat
- hypefighter: all your bookmarks are belong to us!

Battle Summaries are Here!
did you notice those killer little battle logs on the readout on the right hand column of the homepage? yeah, it's a streaming log of wood-puttin' by you cats. throw out some beatdowns!
a few more edits today.

a few more edits today.
- fight logging. now, your journal will have just the small "results" section of your battles. the full log, however, now gets emailed to all participants for the appropriate sending, sharing, etc.
- battle summaries. those fun little snippits of text that say things like "m3mnoch sent in an overwhelming number of recruits and trampled the enemy in a skirmish" are now enabled. oh, and on the homepage.
- dropped the article listing on the homepage too. starting to look like a real site now.
- few other small ui edits with article listings and such.

Atom Feeds and Logins
tonight, i spent some considerable time futzing about atom feeds. for god's sake those things are finicky to get validating. we'll have to see how it rolls.
anyway, tonights changes:
'night.

anyway, tonights changes:
- atom feed for the latest articles. i've also put that badboy as a sidebar widget on my blog, addictingentertainment.com.
- viewing the articles and listings now do not require you to be logged in. figured i need to share all my love and information with everyone willing. well. and if someone hits something via the atom feed, i'd like them NOT to just see a login screen.
'night.
