Moving Forward

Tackled two bugs today not related to the web site itself and more related to some logistical configuration/growing pains with the new server. First we ran into an issue where Firefox 3.5.2 would not render the web page correctly. The main navigation bar was all sorts of screwed up. This turned out to be due to a disk space allocation issue. This issue has been fixed and testing shows clean rendering of all pages since then.

We also ran into an issue where outside viewers could not email any address ending in @digitalflood.com. This was due to some improper routing with our DNS. We have addressed that issue as well and testing again shows email delivery is restored.

We had a large numbers of hits to the site since announcing our upgrade on Facebook and MySpace. I’m glad to see there was some interest in the site. Early feedback seems very positive. As always, let me know what you think and I’ll keep plugging away on this end to push things forward based on that info.

Idle Hands

They say that idle hands are the Devil’s plaything and if that is the case, there is not Satan to be found near my palms because I just released a slew updated content to the site. All the image related pages (Graphic Art, Photos, and even the Biography page) have been updated with a lightbox application that users of social networking sites (like Facebook or MySpace) will find very familiar. It cleans up the image enlargement pop ups and unifies the design elements, which is always nice. The final result is both cleanly executed and easy to use. This marks release .1 for the df.com code and is yet another milestone in development. Yay me!
