Title: Floucraft - Streetwalker's blog and other cool stuff (maybe)

So yeah I have a blog now. I'll work on a new theme when I come back from vacation (I use the default WP theme ATM).
I'll try to add some cool services to it when I have time such as a nightly build system backed by my RPi (cookie if you guess what it'll build :P).

So yeah, go check it out, and follow my RSS and Twitter. :P

/me lost

Looks good, what kind of things will you be posting? Perhaps a travel report? :D

Yeah maybe a travel report, if I have internet access. ;) Also random nerdy stuff I guess (calc/Android/computer related).

BTW, if you happen to know a Wordpress plugin that tweets when I post it'd be cool because I didn't get WordTwit to work. :/

Edit : Just enabled commenting for guests, hoping CloudFlare and Akismet will protect me from spam.

Couldn't find any either, so I used IFTTT (https://ifttt.com/).

And at first I thought it was a Minecraft server lol.

Thank you Juju this is perfect. :D

Also yeah the name is made up of a delirium I had with a friend and Minecraft. :P I kept it because it sounds cool even though I don't play much Minecraft anymore (kind of lost interest into it).

Can you please make the image in your sig showing your blog large enough so that it fits my entire screen please ?
Thank you.

no thanks, I would prefer if it was at least 90 MB. I get high from the hard drive fumes resulting from this.

Anyway nice blog, but I hope you'll still cross-post your calc project updates on Omni, unlike some people who had blogs in the past. :P

But it's only 80 pixels high and takes less than 1KB. ??? My signature respects the new policy as far as I can tell. Unless you browse at 1024*768 it shouldn't be a problem.

I'm never gonna give up Omni. :P Keoni cross posts stuff from his blog, and I plan to do it too. ;)

yeah the issue is that it's really large and many people use 1024x768 for various reasons (laptops, small screen, tablets, outdated computer graphic cards). I myself used 1024 until 2010 because that was the max that my 15 inch LCD monitor supported.

Try to keep your images 500 pixels wide or less. For example, the Bandcamp banner in my sig was downscaled by half.

The pic is 557*80. On forums I believe that the main concern is height due to the vertical layout. If it really turns out to be a problem I'll crop and downscale it but for now it stays as is. (BTW the new sig policy allows a total size of 800*200 for the whole sig and mine respects this rule ;)).

Earlier it was much larger on my side, though, like much larger than your last two userbars combined. Now it's pretty fine, though.

Yeah at first it was the same size as in the OP but I immediately realized that it was to big and changed it.
