I've finally started to re-build this site. I can't even remember the last time I had chance to just sit down and play with the code for it. After taking one look at the PHP, I decided it really wasn't worth the hassle to try and fix it. I originally wrote the code for this site back when I first learnt PHP and it was not a pretty sight. I couldn't believe some of the code, I want to believe I could never write such horrible code, but well.. I was learning, so you can't really blame me.

So I have re-built the entire back-end of this site using a lovely object oriented approach and I've restructured the entire database so that it's a little quicker on the lookups. I've also taken the opportunity to re-write some of the markup for the front-end, although I'm still in the process of sorting that out. I also updated the Flux style (I've called this new version "Flux Refresh", since it's pretty much the same style, just with a slightly more polished look). I intend to create an entirely new style for the site sometime soon, but that's a job for another day.

My next task is to organise the content of the site. I have many more projects to add, and perhaps some new sections to add. I'm also in the process of re-building my photos section, which will be back up and available sometime soon. As part of this process I'm also going to try and actually write some more posts for the site. I already have a few drafted out which I'll put up soon, but it would be nice to actually get some content added every now and then rather than me just being too lazy to update as has been in the past.

In a bold move, I've also dropped IE6 support. I'm sick and tired of having to deal with such a completely useless browser. So you now get a non-styled version of the site if you use IE6. If you don't like it, tough! We don't like your kind around these parts!
