http://darkmercury.net/Joomla I don't know why, but I like web design and tinkering around with websites. Could never do it as a job though.. Some of you know the project I have been working on since the week before finals week (known as week of hell). To distract myself from doing my real work, I started work on the KSU Precision Flight Team website. I used Joomla for this, which is pretty much just Mambo. I made the KSUAnime Site with Mambo in early 2004, and can't say much has changed. Joomla is the same thing as Mambo but open source I guess. I thought Mambo was open source, but since I am a proponent of open source software and I'm curious by nature, I tried Joomla. I'm definately a lot better at the Joomla/Mambo system then I was when I designed KSUAnime. Looking back, I don't even like the anime site. I think a new skin in the near future is in order for that site. But back to the Flight Team site. I spent a lot of time on the skin of it, trying to make it look like the flight team jacket and had to fight a lot of CSS to achieve it, but it looks good now. Now I'm trying to add the endless amount of content and information. I know that once I move it to the KSU server all hell is going to break loose. The only problem I have with Joomla is that it has to systemize everything. I can't just add a random page, it has to be a member of a category or something. And I don't like the publishing system. Everything content-wise is added by a user, who by default has no access to "publish" anything, and so everything he writes stays hidden until an admin comes by and says "ok" and publishes it, so it appears on the site. Not a bad feature if that's what you're looking for. However, I am a very lazy admin, and so everyone's posts will go by unpublished forever. Would be fine if I could change the default access level, but no. Best I can do is make everyone an admin, and then all hell breaks loose again. For what I needed, which is pretty much contact info, team info, and most of all - the events calendar schedule, it's okay. I think the site has really come together and I'm pround of it.

I find it ironic that Schultzie, the most security-paranoid one of us all got hacked due to IIS with no firewall and access to everything. I even LOLed.
avsi.ing.unibo.it was where the image used in the "hacked" signature was from Whois output for: unibo.it |

http://darkmercury.net/cal.php http://darkmercury.net/gallery.php Beta of the php icalendar feature. As of this moment, it is using a default calendar, and not any of my stuff. I put it in an iframe, and it doesn't look that great. I'm playing with it, may scrap it. who knows. Any feedback is welcome. Edit 9:26pm: I added my current schedule as far as I know it through Spring Semester. iCal is supposed to automatically synch it to the web, but right now that's not happening. It still looks pretty right now, even though it's a hassle to update. I'll keep working on it. Edit 12:17 next day: Added photo gallery using the same iframe javascript for testing purposes. Edit 11:34: Added Flight Team Photos (ones you havent seen yet) to the gallery. It's actually worth a look! Really cool. In no paticular order.

I've been playing around with my website lately. Trying to make things a lot more standard and add a bunch new features. A few things are obvious like the gigantic eclipse to the right, and some things are not as obvious, such as the restructured header at the top. I added my post about the UT2k4 tourney to the features section because it was just too good to be a normal post where it would never be read again. Tell me what you think of what I've done, or maybe what you'd like to see. I always enjoy comments.

I know it doesn't look very different, but it's running on 2.4 pro instead of 2.2.1 free now. Much more features, so I will be expanding my site. The features section has already been touched up. Also upgraded to RSS 2.0 Will do more later.
