Singularity: LSXCommand, & Goodbye TiddlyWiki

LSXCommand Have been working on getting the shortcuts and LSXCommand up and running on the left side of Singularity.

The fold-out shortcuts (quicklaunch, etc...) are still pretty messy looking, so I'll show those later. Here's the LSXCommand area, though:
There are two versions in the image. The top was the original sketch I threw together in Photoshop. I wanted it to look like the top and bottom panels kind of swung-out from the center, but the pointy areas to the left and right just looked crappy, didn't match the rest of the theme. The other is approaching the final version. Again, the swing-out panels are present, as are struts to attach them to the rest of the structure. The sharp lines on the inside of the panels, however, strike me as unlike the rest of the theme as well: not the sweeping curves and rounded shapes. It may undergo another revision, but it's getting closer to what I want.

Will be working on the shortcuts/quicklaunch things next.

Goodbye TiddlyWiki
All the LiteStep-based content of this blog was originally hosted on a TiddlyWiki-based site on my Skinyourscreen.com server. I've decided to move it off-site to Blogger because it's just a better solution. TiddlyWiki's a great program, and I still recommend it to anyone, it's just cumbersome to use for blogging or for image-laden content. A server-side solution was certainly the way to go, and so I demoed a few options for blogs like b2Evolution and WordPress. On an unadvertised portion of my site, however, b2 and WordPress accumulated a fantastically bad array of referrals designed to point users to sites dealing with Viagra and the like. I opted out of that. Blogger is free, I can customize the template, and it permits comments and track-back. We'll try it for a while, anyway. So far, I'm duly impressed.
