New Summit Website
It's another one of my "look guys, at what I've been making for the past 3 weeks" posts. :)
My games studio, formerly known as Summit Interactive, is now known as Summit Worlds, and has a brand new website!
I've learnt a huge heap about web design with all the lovely features of CSS and XHTML, so this is pretty much the most advanced and compliant website I've made. I'd really like to thank Tim for his help - he's been answering my emails all day every day for weeks!
Here it is:
Summit Worlds Online
I've also registered a new subdomain at cjb.net - www.summitworlds.cjb.net, but I'm thinking of changing because as you can see it places a nasty ad at the top (until last week, cjb.net was also serving up annoying popups but they seem to have stopped...)
I think it looks kickass but we'll see what you think.
Also check out the Evermoork pages, since that's a totally different style.
In other news, Firefox 1.5 is out. I like some of the new features, but it doesn't look like they're any closer on the Acid2 test, and there are a couple of annoyances with the new version that weren't in the old one:
- The default theme seems to have very few icons for menu items, etc. What happened to them? Although it's supposed to just be a "niceness" feature, I find menu items help you find what you're looking for much faster than just text.
- On Linux (KDE) I used to have a nice theme which made it look like KDE, which is totally and completely nicer than the ugly GNOME look. I can't use that theme with 1.5 and the other themes which try to make it look like KDE all have ugly problems.
- Also on Linux, 1.5 seems to use the ugly and clunky GNOME file open/browse dialog. 1.0 used to use the KDE file chooser which, once again is heaps nicer (it's like the Microsoft Windows one, and let's face it - that's good).

I actually like the polished, unified look and feel GNOME has: the problem is many features just don't work!
And really useful features like an integrated menu editor are non-existent (AFAIK it's still at the debating "do we really need this?" clumsy GNOME beucracy/wishlist stage). The built-in FTP browser is broken (try using a @ symbol in the login name).
KDE, on the other hand, rocks and is simply lightyears ahead =)
*also looks at Tim*
New site looks great Matt, and top marks for determination with the CSS layout work :D
I can't vouch for the dev side of GNOME, not having developed anything with it. But in terms of look and feel, gnome owns KDE. KDE is full of hideous icons and widgets that look like they were made out of super-annoyingly-shiny candy. That's not a good thing> I do like the mac OSX theme which many think is similar, but OSX is subtle and nice, where KDE shoves all manney of shiny objects in your face like a cheap GUI-whore...
(apologies for the KDE rant, but you brought it on yourself ;P)
I guess that officially makes me a desktop pimp.
gui's are for wimps :p
terminal for the win
ROFLACMAOWTAS!!!!!!
w0ts this KDE file-chooser business??
meh. i'm stuck on your run-of-the-mill Windows GUI. i'm trying to get it to run as minimalistic as possible
Hey E _My_Shortz GREAT title New Summit Website. Thats what actually caught my eye.
