News/Blog
wave3k 2.0 is here! - Tuesday 7th Aug 07 (12:30 BST)So finally after literally years of on/off development (more off than on obviously) I've decided to "release" wave3k 2.0! This is actually more like version 5 or 6 of wave3k but seeing as it includes "web 2.0" type effects and scripting and as it is only the second version on this domain I decided to go with 2.0.
Basically I recoded the temporary design that I had to make it valid CSS and XHTML and then worked from the ground up to make the JavaScript "application" that powers the whole site using AJAX and the PHP powered news system that runs on a MySQL database.
As far as I'm aware the whole site should be cross-browser and cross-platform compatible; if you find any bugs or problems then send me an email if you want or IM if you can. (However saying that, there is a small issue with versions of Internet Explorer lower than 7 [aka 6 and 5.5] where there is a large gap between the bottom row and the top two when no content is being shown - this should be fixed soon.)
In the next version I'm planning on tweaking the GUI a bit: changing the main background image and the main colours to go with it and maybe making the main content/text area a bit bigger too. As well as this I'm going to add an AJAX powered form to the contact page to make it easier to contact me.
They'll probably be some other changes as well although I don't know how long any of it will take as I have quite a few other things to work on too. Enjoy the new version
