Polishing the Site
Polishing makes me think integration of Polish people.
It's been about a month since a real update and I know that I said I'll be posting more (I lied). Of course my attention to the site has remained. I fixed a few CSS bugs so that I can now have pages smaller than the nav. I also converted my login from sessions to cookies. The new host has a time out on sessions and it was causing me to loose content by it logging me out before posting. I have the cookie login set up similar to the way sessions work. I just have to take the risk of the cookie being on the computer. I fixed a few other minor bugs so the site looks a little more clean and polished.
Aside from site work I've also been spending what little free time I have learning more about Linux. I've gotten pretty comfortable with it and with the Compiz tweaks that I put in place it's a bit more homely (and leet). I tried out Gnome-Shell to find that it was a horrible mess. I honestly like how they are changing how the operation system is run but it has its problems. I also understand that it is still in development and things are likely to change. When the time comes to update to Ubuntu 10 I hope that I won't be forced to install Gnome-Shell.
If you want to try Gnome-Shell yourself just run these commands (be sure to disable compiz before hand)...
sudo apt-get install gnome-shell
gnome-shell --replace
I must warn you that it's still a little unstable. If you want to get the latest build then you must compile from source with jhbuild. I couldn't get it to build so I won't provide a how to. I feel if you're gutsy enough to build from source then you won't need my help.
