Yet Another Site Redesign

Never one to be satisfied with something for too long, I found myself on a site redesign kick last night. The original plan was to only tweak a few things, but me being me, a few things turned into several which turned into many and then finally became everything. Before I knew it, the clock struck “you’ll-have-a-heck-of-a-time-getting-up-tomorrow-thirty.” The late night was worth it though. Personally, I really like the new look and feel. It’s far more open and accessible than the previous iteration. What’cha think?

Yesterday brought a new project that I’ve dubbed “PseuDock,” a scriptable background application which is used to kill the Finder and Dock in order to lock a user out of the UI for one reason or another (e.g. – kiosk mode). The app is the result of a question from an individual that I’ve been helping out with a project. So far, it’s come along nicely, and once I solve the issue of disabling the Apple Menu items, I’ll be putting it up on my software page.

Yasu is in the works & I’m getting real close to the point of actually writing code. I’ve considered a lot of recommendations and ideas, adding this option, or that functionality, etc. But I keep coming back to “less is more.” There’ll be a few new things, but nothing radical. The original idea of Yasu was to keep it as simple for the user as possible. That mantra continues in the new version. More on it soon.
