Doing Things Wrong

Website Design Finally Finished

Well, it's that time of year again, time to renew the web hosting. And for those of you that don't know, that has become a lot more expensive than it used to be. Fifty dollars a year is now several hundred. Not to mention the price of domain names has gone up ten-fold.

And I just found out that the nice folks at PayPal disabled all my Support buttons, and I never got a notice (although that may be my fault.) In any case, it is all working again now, so if you would like to make a small donation to help defray these costs, it would be greatly appreciated.

Here is a screen capture of this site running in a phone-sized Android virtual machine on my laptop. The site adapts perfectly to every screen size and every device, from a dinky smartphone all the way up to the biggest PC, with no loss of usability. Yet the code behind it is bit-for-bit exactly the same on every display. That's pretty incredible.

I got side-tracked onto this, and at risk of turning this into a furniture thread, I think it's worth sharing. This is just a box. It was motivated by two things:

  1. I often find I am filing something ( like a pickguard ) across the front edge of the workbench - a very awkward angle. I've ruined the natural spot - the right corner - with the vise - worthwhile.
  2. I need a place to store my growing collection of templates, which is getting pretty heavy.
