New background image: 'Small City Lights' (reload if you still see the old one), featuring the building of 2335 and the bridge of 1639.

Don't know how long it will last; it sort of forces me to add some colour to the rest of the design (which is looking awfully grayscale at the moment) to balance it out.

October 2003

Speaking of stylish <ul> listings, check out IF THEN ELSE (who also caught the redesign bug this week)'s take on it; scroll down a bit and hover over the leftside menus. By already showing a tiny border in the default link state, and increasing the border size on hover, it looks like LEDs lighting up. Pretty colours!

Update: check out his newly added HOW-TO.

mezzoblue - Times New Roman - talks about making the font look more modern by playing with line-height, word-spacing and letter-spacing properties. I tried to make these here Times New Roman weblog texts look less defaulty by slightly reducing the line height. [via paranoidfish.org]

Look, a new header image! Only 6 months since the previous changeover, even. Font/colour/layout changes of menu and content columns to follow...

Much thanks to the people of the local construction company for leaving these very tall floodlights standing like this night after night (see also 2211).

January 2002

I don't really consider this a redesign (when compared to previous ones), since I only changed the background-colour and -image. You'll notice the text is positioned exactly as it was before. I mainly just wanted to get rid of the white background, couldn't stand it anymore (too bright late at night hurt eyesight).
