Musically Speaking Reviews
Another website belonging to a friend of mine is up, rhapsodyreviews.com. It's a music review website (obviously).
Endeavors
I'm pretty sure that nucleocide.net won't be headed in the direction of the fancy new system that I had promised but instead a very simple system, comparative to a wordpress blog. This system would continue to have resources avalable for download and categorized tutorials (Including FL Studio) and maybe a liquid layout. I'll be scraping the shoutbox and having a comment section below each individual resource. This current site may get gutted and each component made available for download (maybe even the whole system, who knows).
Any input on this would be greatly appreciatd.
I honestly don't have the time to develop the fancy system, I'm also too proud to use someone elses.
Current ad placement sucks (I've made $84 in the last two years which means google still hasn't cut me a check) and the paypal donate box has made me $1. I've worked on several sites with heavy ad usage so expect the next version to be more in depth (unless you have ads disabled like I do... I'm such a hypocrite :p).
Musically Speaking Hall of Fame
A friend of mine is starting up a music website. So far it doesn't have enough content but he's slowly adding it. The site is Musically Speaking Hall of Fame and will contain original reviews of various musical authors who have contributed to the music industry.
The Core Death
Here is another reason this website hasn't been updated lately. I've been playing with FL Studio. I'm enjoying music making so much that I've even bought hardware (MIDI pad, keyboard, and a few things you don't want to know about).
Enough talking, here is the link: The Core Death. (Nucleocide is latin for core death, which is how I came up with the name).
My Books For Cheap
Here is the reason I haven't been updating this website lately,
My Books For Cheap is a website for college students (like me) to purchase textbooks for their classes. It has user provided textbooks and it also pulls results from popular websites such as amazon.com, half.com, and abebooks, sorting results by price.
Despite what the title says, you will make more money selling through that website than if you were to sell to the bookstore.
The website isn't mine, it is for a client. I figured I would give them some free visitors (and Google PR of course).
User Management
One thing I never finished with this version (13) of Nucleocide is user management. The only perk of registering is that you can shout with a registered name, unless I promote you to an administrator in which case you can post news.
This will all be taken care of in the next version of course (whenever that will be; maybe over winter break) but until then don't bother registering.
Also, a ton of bots have registered. It was all in vein, lol.
Sorry I've been neglecting my visitors; I'm planning on upgrading as soon as I'm not so busy. The pagerank has already dropped from 4 to 3; a sign that I need to update content.
New layout
I've had this online for a while. Figured I should finally link to it.
As you can tell this is going to be very much community driven. The news ticker at the top in flash was written by me, and I will probably open source it. It loads content using XML so it will stay fresh.
The layout isn't complete and the background image is really up in the air. I would like as much critique as possible before slicing and programming this into a working site.
Mandriva Spring KDE Start Button
The huge Mandriva button was annoying the hell out of me until I read "release_notes.txt" on the install CD. Copypasta below:
Mandriva Linux 2007 Spring introduces a new, Mandriva-branded system menu button for KDE (the button at bottom left of the screen which pens the system menus). Some users find it to be too large. Also, some users who prefer to use a larger panel find it does not look very good with a larger panel size. If you would like to remove it, edit the ~/.kde/share/config/kickerrc and make the following change: in the [KMenu] section change the value of KMenuIcon to kmenu. To apply the new icon immediately restart kicker by running dcop kicker kicker restart.
