hathix 3.0 “Bolo” – um novo olhar, na hora certa

hathix.com’s primeiro aniversário é amanhã, so to celebrate I’ve gotten it a giftum novo olhar! hathix 3.0, codename Bolo, mantém o esquema de cores da versão antiga (apropriadamente chamado hathix 2.1 “Dewdrop”) but sports an airy new look that’s limpo e elegante. Dê uma olhada (ou experimentá-lo):

Como se pronuncia “hathix”?

His name's hathix.
Um elefante em uma caixa.

Você acha que eu tenho uma pergunta muito, mas na verdade eu não – a maioria das pessoas pronunciá-lo de uma certa maneira e são absolutamente, positivamente, certeza de que está certo. Há tantas pronúncias é incrível, Então, quem sou eu para escolher o “adequado” um? Let ’em pronounce it however they like, Digo.

Dito isto, o número de pronúncias que ouço é limítrofe ridículo. Here are the most common ones I’ve heard.

Um novo olhar

Bem, the host switch went nearly seamlessly (so seamlessly, na verdade, that I have no idea if the switch actually happened.) As promised, here’s something big for you.

If you’ve ever viewed the hathix.com home page, you’ll notice how horrible it looks. Or used to look.

The old hathix.com
hathix.com circa April 2011

Not very pretty, direito? Bem, it wasn’t supposed to be. I just threw together some code to make the site work; the look wasn’t at all important.

Well I soon realized that a) this horribly ugly look was probably hurting the site and b) I had some spare time on my hands. So I wrote some new code for the site and here’s what I got:

Switching hosts, expect some downtime

Just a quick notice. I’m in the process of switching hosts for hathix.com, so starting tomorrow expect some downtime.

I have no idea how long the site will be down; some people have said only a few hours but I’ve read on some forums that it can take up to a week. Not exactly what I’d call helpful.

And after I switch hosts it’ll take me a little while to import some databases and other fun web management stuff, which might take another day.

To make it up to you there will be some goodies heading your way once the site’s back up.

The quest for a decent home page

I’m not sure why home pages were even invented in the first place. Quero dizer, sure, you need a page to open when you boot up your browser, but they just make things, bem, awkward. Plus they’re not very useful: most of them just serve as a landing page; you don’t really use them except to read news about how kids can’t bring bagged lunch to school (*cough* Yahoo *cough*.) And when you do that kind of stuff, you just get distracted from what you were originally meaning to do all along.

I want to know why that is and how I can help fix it.
