Whitespace Is Improving

by Ryan Parman • May 7, 2004 • Code, Website • 1 comments

I’ve been reading Paul Scriven’s Whitespace for quite some time now. I’ve always enjoyed the content, but while the interface as always been usable, it hasn’t always been terrific. Nowadays, Whitespace is looking much better these days. I think that Paul has gotten much better at displaying lots of information in a usable — yet [...]


Using Safari? Lucky You.

by Ryan Parman • April 30, 2004 • Browsers, Code, Website • 3 comments

I’ve spent the day scouring the web for information on whether or not any build of Mozilla has support for the CSS2 text-shadow property. It doesn’t, which sucks. Why does it suck? Because I’m not able to see what Safari 1.1+ users are able to see: drop shadows on text without graphics. Now, I know [...]


Ryan: Slacker No More

by Ryan Parman • April 30, 2004 • Apple, Code, Video Games, Website • 4 comments

Two and a half weeks?! Ryan, that’s just no good. What’s your deal, man? Why are you being suck a slacker? This is the obligatory “Sorry, I’ve been busy” post as made famous by Dan Rubin, Todd Dominey, and Adam Polselli. Every time that I’ve come across something cool lately, my boss has handed me [...]


Creative Unknowns

Paul emailed me today with an invitation to check out his new Web/Design/Music/Apple/etc forum. Granted any new forum is always wanting new visitors, but it’s been cool seeing other webloggers like Paul, Andy Mac, Darice, Sken, and others. This will definitely be a new stop on the internet for me!


Tweakin’ Styles

by Ryan Parman • April 2, 2004 • Website • 9 comments

I’ve done a smidge of tweaking out my CSS file, and I’ve tweaked the behavior of my stylesheet switcher widget. If you’re getting plain text, you need to manually choose either the “default” or “classic” style. After you kill the cookie, close your browser and re-open it, and you shouldn’t have a problem. Contact me [...]


100 Miles an Hour with My Hair on Fire!

by Ryan Parman • March 15, 2004 • Personal, Projects, Website • 2 comments

Things have been rather hecktic lately. I recently moved into a new apartment, I had my car accident, and I started a brand-new job all in a span of a week and a half. I’m still getting used to my new job. I have to take the train to get to work and back everyday, [...]


Jumping Ship

by Ryan Parman • February 20, 2004 • Code, Syndication, Technology, Website • 13 comments

I stumbled across a link for a CMS called WordPress today. With all of the rebuilding problems I’ve been having with Movable Type lately, I figured I’d at least take a look. From what I can tell, it’s a pretty solid system. There are a few blogs who use it, and I like the idea [...]


All Automated, All The Time

by Ryan Parman • February 20, 2004 • Code, Syndication, Technology, Website • 5 comments

I recently posted that I was going to begin redesigning my site. Beyond just a change of colors and images, I wanted to create a more powerful underlying system. Movable Type offers a lot of options and features that are built-in to the CMS, but I get a few too many 500 errors to stay [...]
