Sadly, life tends to find ways to stamp out nearly all of my leisure time right when I thought I had some.
A very brief update: I’m sketching out some design patterns as they come to me. If anyone reading this has an idea, send me a picture, scan, or whatever (ASCII art would be really impressive) and I’ll check it out. The more ideas the merrier. Also, if anyone has any colors or color schemes they like, comment or send me an email or PM. In terms of coding, I haven’t gotten much done, though tonight I’m going to start working on a basic forum system. I’ve decided that I’m leaving user authentication until the very end.
That’s all. Cheerio.
After about two hours of coding and styling, I’ve got a preliminary Article system up and running. The code isn’t anything fancy – a scaffold could have generate a good portion of the logic – but as most Rails programmers know, scaffolding is a very small step, and is not too friendly in terms of semantics. Anyway, enough of the technical babble. Here are some screens. No ‘Single Post’ yet because my laptop is about to kick the ol’ bucket and I don’t have my charger with me.
Update: I might add that the color scheme is entirely temporary; correct positioning was much more important to me.
