I just loaded Konqueror today (no, I don't run KDE, just wanted to
test the browser) and noticed that the plkr.org website shows up in konq
with *HUGE* fonts. Has anyone else seen this problem?
...and to make this message truly useful, the plkr.org website is
undergoing yet another facelift. This one will bring with it a completely
new design and face to the site. The site will be infinately more
interactive (ok, infinately is a tough level to beat, but it's close). The
new site when launched will allow you to pluck live content by filling in a
simple form, wait a few moments, and have a .pdb delivered to you for
download (this will not be remotely fetchable via scripts, sorry, too many
DoS attacks from clients, mailing lists, and web-spiders). I'm working on a
way to allow people to "sign in" and store their preferences as well as
putting the "Build-It" page back up so you can build a working ~/.pluckerc
configuration online for your sites and save them there for later use.
It's currently very easy to use the site, but I'm trying to make it
even easier to navigate through the pages, cvs, mailing lists, and wealth of
other information available through the site. I've got a little more time on
my hands now (unemployment does that =), so I'm using what time I have to
peek and poke some new ideas into the site.
If anyone has ideas, suggestions, comments, graphics, or wants to
help contribute.. please email me directly. Remember, we can't "rip off"
other commercial services ideas or design goals, nor can we reproduce and
"publish" content from other sites without their permission or consent.
Let's stay within the limits of the law, where we can, and ask permission
where we can't.
