Meta

Just last week I slapped on the “moved house” tags on my old site at intrepix.tripod.com - yes, well over three months after I got this domain. Call it laziness. But what actually took me so long is that I wasn’t quite happy about how this site had turned out, so I wasn’t prepared to call this “home” just yet. What wasn’t I happy about? Well for one, I missed the design of the old site - the colours and the gradient fills had been tweaked until I could call it perfect. The new “environmentalist” look on this site was designed with minimalism in mind, but I don’t think that suits me well. The new jazzed up home page sports some fancy transparency and css effects, but my wiki still looks rather utilitarian I must say.

So why don’t I simply do something about it? Suppose we have a utility function U that factors in P, the pleasure I get from viewing a beautiful design, and E, the effort that it takes to create said beautiful design. I’d say we’re stuck at the first hump, a local maximum.

What’s left to do: create pages on the wiki for past and present projects, prettify the wiki, add more intersection links

(Just a thought: I’m beginning to think my writing style is too stiff and rigid and verbose. Perhaps it’s just that nothing I write can compare with some of the stuff I regularly read.)
