A little scheduled maintenance tonight
 by Niero on 04.30.2008      42 comments






Please pardon my mess as I'm about to break the home page a little bit :)

I'm going to try to clean up the navigation a bit on the site this week. As you know, I notoriously work directly on the server (and break things as I go) because I'm professional as fuck. This will go on until I pass out or run out of caffeine, whichever comes first!

Also, Tlack worked on three new features are coming to Cblogs this week: RSS feeds for each Cblog, RSS feed from your friend's cblogs, and the ability to see a person's friends updates on their sidebar and/or via RSS. A few more RSS related fixes to the main site feed are also scheduled like author name and large photo support.

Love and corn dogs,

Niero

Whoa, its like a dimension warp. First this was on the frontpage and they by some sort of magic its in the cblogs. Also, GameGoblin wins another internet. Can we just give them all to him so we can all go home?

bluexy's Destructoid Blog
I'm in a class currently where we have to create backup branches and edit those before we let them go live. Admittedly I'm dealing with Operating Systems and not web sites, but still... fuck working on a different branch, it's all going live sometime right!? Why NOT work directly on the motherfucker? (Oh, how my professors would sigh...)
vexed alex's Destructoid Blog
Corn dogs are delicious. You can't disagree.
Niero's Destructoid Blog
@ Gamegoblin - that's eerily accurate

@ Bluexy - Yeah, it's more fun for me to work live. I make local backups and then break everything, then roll back as needed if I need more time.

I think we're going to go with a 3-column layout since a ton of content is coming up this year and our sidebar is sort of a salad at the moment. I'll resume breakage tomorrow :D
Redzie's Destructoid Blog
youre donig this while everyone is distracted by GTA. Genius.
TrailerParkJesus's Destructoid Blog
I kinda agree with IceMax. It always kinda bothered me that the header area (along with the location of links) is different between the front page, cblogs, and forums.

Not to give you anymore work or anything.

Hi. I'm Niero, creator of Destructoid.



The first time I saw a video game was at a tiny game room near the beach in 1984. They had a Pong machine -- and that was enough to get me hooked for life. Years later I picked up an Atari, then a Nintendo, and then I knew at age 10 what I wanted to do with my life. By a stroke of luck, coincidence, hard work, and a strange sense of humor I find myself running an unlikely project: Destructoid.

Destructoid is an independent effort, powered by 30 or so folks like me that love games. On any given day I work behind the scenes with the editorial team to keep things moving on the site, add new features, and do things that are fun for the Dtoid community. When events come around, I'm usually the guy clowning around in the helmet. Best job ever!

Thanks for checking Dtoid and let me know if there's anything I can do to make it better. You can always reach me at Niero [ at ] Destructoid.com -- or send us a shout out on http://www.myspace.com/destructoid.

Psst ... tell a friend.
