Sixth Floor Labs
So, I've been working on the layout for the Project Alexandria subsite. It's a pain in the ass because I hate CSS with a passion, but that's life. I wish CSS had a simple way to say "X is to the left of Y", or something like that. I wish I didn't have to specify sizes in pixels when the font, font size, and monitor resolution were all up to the user. Basically, CSS sucks, but I don't have the time to write a better layout language from scratch..
Fortunately, Carl already did most of this stuff, including sketching out the content. So all I had to do was integrate stuff in a clean way with the site software that's already there. Which wasn't too bad, except for the few hundred lines of Perl, and hating CSS..
http://www.sixthfloorlabs.com/projects/alexandria/newlayouttest/, anyhow. Still needs work, and it'll need better content, but in the meantime I guess I get to focus on a redeign of the rest of the 6FL site.
