Version History

I decided to start keeping track of the version history of my underlying codebase that runs this site, mainly for personal use really, but someone might be interested.

January 17th

Version 3.0.1

1. Upped the font size of the main paragraph font to 1.0em.

December 28th

Version 3.0.0

1. No new features, I've just stripped out most of the functionality just to leave a nice and simple weblog.

March 4th

Version 2.0.6

1. Fixed a bug on the Archive Page where I'd hard coded the year as 2005 and not used Year(Now()).

February 4th

Version 2.0.5

1. Got fed up with the spam in the guest book, so I've changed all the names of the input fields to stop all those nasty bots flooding my site with all their gambling and sex links. My bookmarks are full already thank you.

November 18th

Version 2.0.4

1. My links are now AJaX powered and run from all the 'fdlink' tagged links I have in my del.icio.us account.

2. I've added a Miscalleneous Photos section to the photo gallery, linking to my Flickr account with a thumbnail of the latest photo I've uploaded, retrieved using XML and RSS.

November 6th

Version 2.0.3

1. Turned up the paragraph font size by 0.1. May not sound much, but it does makes for an easier read.

November 4th

Version 2.0.2

1. Photo gallery now has a thumbnail preview for the previous and next photos.

2. If I haven't given any title to the photo instead of showing 'Untitled' above it, wasting precious screen real estate, it displays nothing. Every pixel counts.

October 19th

Version 2.0.1

1. Added a contact form to the about page, for those of you who wanted to get in touch.

October 11th

Version 2.0.0

1. Frog dreaming goes all mint.

2. The complete site re-design is finished, all of the design aspect is done, and all the pages are in place. The content of the site hasn't changed all that much, its more of a re-style.

3. I've added a links section where I can post up and share some of the better links I come accorss on the internet.

4. Completely overhauled the administration of the articles and comments.

September 20th

Version 1.1.5

1. Got round to adding my About page.

September 2nd

Version 1.1.4

1. Changed the paging system at the bottom of the main index and the mobile photos pages. Got rid of writing all the available pages in favour of a more simplier Forward and Back link.

August 27th

Version 1.1.3

1. Tweaked my encode and decode xhtml string functions so that it now renders correct paragraphs and not lots of line breaks for my posts and the comments. Also now encodes pound signs and those painful MS Word apostrophes correctly (I search using the Chr(charcode) function (searching for the stings wasn't working (I think its got something to do with character encoding))).

August 19th
