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

2008-04-15T08:04:42Z

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

2008-01-06T18:01:09Z

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

2007-12-20T11:12:42Z

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

2007-12-11T22:12:44Z

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

2007-07-06T16:07:40Z

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.

Here is the layout.

Mandriva Spring KDE Start Button

2007-06-23T01:06:05Z

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.

nucleoStats released

2007-05-26T15:05:19Z

nucleoStats has finally been released. This is version 0.1 so don't expect too much.

The future of Nucleocide

2007-04-27T16:04:30Z

I plan on turning Nucleocide.net into an online art/web development community. This will include a forum, a more organized system (I currently have traces of mystery meat navigation), and of course a new layout. This layout looks like a blog and I'm starting to hate it. Other things will be in place as wel. Please reply to this news article with any suggestions.

I'm not going to just slap a forum on the site and call it good. I will probably grab someone's open source forum and modify it to fit in with the overall site. This way, when you log into one area to rate or submit tutorials or scripts, you are also logged into the foruem. Personally I hate sites that half ass this part. An entire website must be one fluid system, not pieces awkwardly held together.

Basically I want to make this site less about me and more about a community (it takes less upkeep this way :p). Expect these changes to come about pretty soon. My semester is just about finished :D.
