Minh’s Notes

Apparently Eric Caoili, a St. X graduate of 2000, found this weblog. He asked to link to it at his website, CincyStories.com, seeing as I was “a writer by default.” I obliged. Apparently his site is also powered by MT, which makes me a little more encouraged to keep working on the redesign here.

Of course, I think I’ll keep on working on the Blusopht site for awhile, until I get some more inspiration for the blog redesign.

Lately, I’ve grown a little discouraged about the design that I’v posted a preview to awhile back. Some, including Eric Webb, say that the site is a little too bland. Well, it does, then, fit my personality. Anyhow, I’m thinking about ditching that, my second, redesign candidate.

I’m having the new site be called 1ec5 — the Unicode equivalent for the “ễ” in my last name. The design will be a little more technologically-based, but I’ll try not to alienate my computer-semi-illiterate readers with the redesign.

Also, while I’m not planning to redesign and/or update Học với Tôi anytime in the near future, I am working extensively on the Wikipedia Tiếng Việt. Come and check it out — not that you’ll understand anything there. If you really want to know what it’s all saying, you might want to use a decent online Vietnamese→English dictionary.

Okay, well, I updated the blog. Happy now?

[Update] I decided to leave that 1ec5 idea for my next redesign – whenever that happens.

Many of my classmates are beginning to believe that I will never redesign my website. While there is evidence to support that belief, I intend to complete that redesign by January 2004, grades permitting.

I have made a lot of progress since the last preview I released. Although I haven’t worked on the Minh’s Notes redesign for a few months now, I have worked extensively on the Blusopht site, which never actually got started. For this time, I’m using a lot of techniques I’ve since learned about web development, such as mocking up the website in Microsoft Publisher — it makes for a better end product, trust me.

Blusopht currently has two charter members and an associate. If you’re a high schooler in the Cincinnati area and take an interest in programming, software design, or web development, please contact me with a proposal.

In other related news, I’ve kept my Firebird Conversion Index the same. Why is this new? Because, although one of the people I converted to Firebird has since switched back to MSIE (due to webmasters who won’t code for anything other than MSIE), another classmate of mine has switched. And my other converts are still happy, popup-free browsers. Download Mozilla Firebird 0.7 today!

[Update] Well, obviously, I’ve already redesigned this website. I finished redesigning it in March 2004.

Alex thinks that my site is too “technologically advanced”, and that I need to “come back down to Earth”. Okay. I will, then. Here goes:

’Nuff said.
