Dammit. I bought an iriver H10 and I can’t use it! My USB ports are acting weirdly; Some devices are working, like my camera, and others aren’t, like my USB key and my H10. I think my USB hub #3 is the problem, since all my devices are working on any other computer.

Introducing the evil cherry.™

Call it a relaunch, a redesign, everything you want, but for me, it’s a new start. Fresh WordPress upgrade, 1.5. New color scheme, new style.

I really wanted to use a “dark” color scheme here, and since I got astounished by seeing Michael’s Vader theme on his site, I thought there was a lack of dark color schemes in the blogging community. And for the red/black/white, I got inspired by Shaun Inman.

I tried to not use too many “overused styles“, like those mentionned in my article. No diagonal lines, no Wicked and Worn.

I know there’s still a couple of bugs left, thanks to WordPress not-so-easy upgrade. And there’s also a lot of things that will come, like the code section, a bigger about section, etc.

I hope you’ll enjoy this relaunch as much as I enjoyed creating it ;-)

Updated: there was several updates of the design, such as the navigation-in-two-lines bug, and the hover on the header image.

I have to admit it, I subscribed to Odeo beta testing list but I don’t have an iPod. In fact, I subscribed only to see the beautiful design made by Dunstan.

But I’m supposed to buy an iPod or an iPod mini during the summer, but I’m still on dial-up Internet so I’m not expecting to download lots of stuff.

And oh, I’m so happy because my Wikipedia t-shirt arrived this afternoon!

Update: I just bought an iriver H10.

It’s been one year since I received my invitation to try Gmail as a beta web application.

I must say that I used it for some months before buying exomel.com and then start using an @exomel.com email address. Now i’m using my @gmail.com address as a redirection one.

The thing I loved about Gmail was the conversation-like message nesting. One thing you can’t get with Thunderbird.

The thing I disliked about Gmail was the unability to create folders and then have to put “labels” on messages to manage them. Not good.

There’s a lot of things that are going to change around. Design, content, structure; you know, stuff.

Update! I made a wallpaper for the exomel’s relaunch that will happen next Sunday, June 26th 2005. Download it here!

Since it’s 30C° here, I’M using a little toy, a USB fan. Quite cool. The air, I mean. But the fan’s cool too.

I didn’t like the name “designedby.exomel” which I chose for my online portfolio, so I chose a new one. Anticubed.

I ordered my first “online t-shirt”. This one.
