Design is going along well, have the first of a series of design drafts for the version 2 ready and it feels quite good. The respons from my fellow friends co-devs have been sweet and I feel that the v2 will be a real nice site when it comes to graphics too.
I will post some early drafts later, just need to think about some details I have missed when doing the design.
Our dev-machine is up and running, it's a monsturous machine running at a wooping 166Mhz. Ya you read it right, it's an old pentium 166. "Why the heck do you use a crap machine like that?" you probably ask. Because we though like this; If we can't get the system to work smoothly for 1 user at the time on a pentium 166 it wount work for 10k+ users on any high end machine.
And ya, I think it accually is the same motherboard I used for istheshit.net at the start. So back to the roots you might say.
We will start the work on istheshit version 2.0 as soon as possible. It will be full of fantastic, exciting and shiny new features (think web 2.0 ;), have a new look and feel (think nice graphics and colors and other beautiful stuff) and an even better server (think xeon, think scsi, think raid, think more ram than you'll ever see).
And of all this wonderful stuff we will tell you ...nothing. Why? Because we do this in our spare time, we have regular jobs, so we don't want to promise anything that we don't have the time to deliver.
We would however like for you to tell us what you would like to see on istheshit. We have big plans, but they can always be a little bigger. ;-)
Leave a comment and tell us what you want to see!
Ok since the other 2 just signed in. I feel a desperate need to do the same. I'm the graphics guy and completes the istheshit.net core team of...three....pirates. I do the graphics like the, black boxes on the main site and and and, ya I done most of the shirts too =)
I focus on the design and GUI for the new version of istheshit.net and yes this time it will have design, and nice one. If your kind I will post some graphic samples later on.
Worst episode ever! Eh... first blog post ever!
I'll be doing the coding, in other words; all the boring stuff that you won't see anything off other than the output.
For jolt anyway!
Jolt is the guy behind the server. If something needs configuring, he's the one who does it, and as the site is still up I guess some things are actually working.
Hi
We thought it would be nice to have some kind of communication with our visitors so we desided to open a blog. This will mainly focus on whats happening behind the scenes of istheshit.net and often be way more jibberish then the standard http://news.istheshit.net
Stay tuned and please leave some comments if you want to.
