Blog Redesign - 8times8
Wordpress has been giving me problems lately, so I decided to make a new blog from scratch. I will move some of the old articles to this new blog.
Links
Edit: Changed port in url. Was 81 before.
Link is clicky: http://cookiecraft.eeems.me/blog/ (http://cookiecraft.eeems.me/blog/)
Screenshots
Version 0.1 (dev)

I was inspired by juju's telnet -> omnimaga link project and I decided to make my blog available on telnet.
server: cookiecraft.eeems.me port 23
It uses a server-side php shell script. I found out you could use php as a shell script yesterday. This makes accessing the database and stuff so much easier!
-
lacks a bit CSS IMO, other than that, nice :)
-
I did not want to spend too much time messing with the visuals yet. This enables me to focus on the technical aspects of my blog.
-
Yeah that's what I thought. Pretty nice already besides that. ;)
-
I have been working hard on the telnet client for my blog.
Update: Telnet shell
+ Viewing threads
+ Submitting replies
+ Easter egg
Visit at: cookiecraft.eeems.me using your favorite telnet client!
-
Update: Telnet shell
+ Replies can be viewed now
+ Better regular expressions for handling user input.
+ Thread content lines start with > now. Some html tags are parsed as well.
+ Some other "graphical" improvements
Bugfixes:
+ Telnet commands are discarded from user input now. (These characters are non-printable and they were messing things up before.)
+ Fixed some php warnings/errors.
Bugs remaining:
- Cannot read user IP from telnet yet, so only one user can post per day. (sorry)
I can fix the remaining bugs by introducing user accounts.
-
I finally managed to find out why the server kept overheating when I ran the telnet.php script. I am so glad this madness is over now! The server temperature graph is gonna look somewhat boring from now on though.
Server temperature graph for this day:

Update: Telnet shellscript
Bugfixes:
+ Server no longer overheats when you close the connection in the middle of a stream.
The telnet server is open for public again!
-
Major update:
+ Visual overhaul
+ Added archive section that includes all of my old blog posts.http://8times8.eeems.me:81/blog/index.php?archive (http://8times8.eeems.me:81/blog/index.php?archive)
Some links and images might be broken. I am working on that.
+ New subdomain thanks to eeems! ;D
-
Any reason why on http://8times8.eeems.me:81/blog/index.php?archive&thread=451&name=online-8-by-8-sprite-editor the top bar is missing? (first archive link)
Anyways, nice! :D
-
That was because of an unclosed iframe tag in the article. Fixed it.
-
wait, you are using iframes?
Suggestion: try without iframes ;)
-
Nah this was an iframe in the article content. It is not used in the structure of the website.
Edit: Fixed links to articles as well. Used a preg_replace to convert the old url's to link to the new blog.
-
Ah, ok, i thought you used it for the website structure
-
Glad you removed the marquee that made everything move sideways x.x. Looks nice btw. This slightly reminds me of tr1p1ea's original website :P
-
Looking cool ! :D
-
I did some minor tweaks to the website as well as to the telnet shell. Added \r to every \n, so every client should display it correctly now.
-
I made some big changes to the website css. There is a new site banner and color scheme. I am still working on some features.
-
A bit late from me, but I like the new design, especially with the logo, although maybe the logo/banner should be made smaller, since not everyone has 4K resolution? :P
-
Been working a bit on the website again. It's getting even more wordpress-like except the backend is custom-made, so it can be made pretty lightweight.
