This one's mine, and you're a party pooper. No one else here appreciates some creativity and originality? You guys would prefer another #fff/#ddd/grey/blue webpage over one that's at least creative?

Damn straight 🙂 We would come to your site for the hot and spicy stories you write or the pics of you and your special someone, not because you can confuse any optical character recognition software with them fancy pinkredorangeyellow combos 🙂

Don't get discouraged, though! We want to help 🙂

Hehe, dude, I don't care if you visit my site or not, I'm not delusional like some people who try to become a superstar by telling everyone to go to their website, I do it for myself and for fun and learning.
 
you guys are so borinG. sometimes different is interestinG. this is interestinG. you are borinG. go take some interesting pills, you boring peoplE.

peh....borinG.

nice sitE. 🙂 very interestinG. not borinG....and differenT.
 
Interesting site. I must say that your readability sucks due to the very odd color choices, but other than that, it's very - um - creative. 🙂
 
Looks like Pea Soup 🙂 It's very "neat", but I think it'd be classier to tone down on the green and bring in more earth tones 🙂
 
I like the concept, I don't like the colors 🙂. I love the sysinfo thing you got though! Is it dynamic? Does it actually grab the data
from the machine or does a crontask update a file or something? I really like it, and I would like to try it on my server as well...

Powered by *BSD is always a good thing 😉
 
Heh, these replies are pretty funny. I was kinda under the influence when I did this, I've never done anything so garish before 😉

I'll probably change it to some slick lookin stuff soon, I have some ideas on using some of the elements from this design but only subtly 🙂

Mucman: it's a completely dynamic python script I wrote, the limitations are that it only works on netbsd, it doesn't display scsi drive info, and it (AFAIK) would probably mess up alot on a non-x86 machine. It was basically written with a test bed of 3 x86/ide machines.

If you have a netbsd machine (I thought I remembered you having one), give it a whirl, source is here.

Either way, it's only 15k of code, not tough to adjust 😉
 
Thats nothing you cant do if you dont already know a bit of CSS. Looks like thats what the whole site is built off of... havent looked through the source though..

<-- gonna go sober up

Yep, all CSS. I suck with (and don't really like) images. I love "arts" where you are restricted to a limited toolset, I think it tends to bring out more creativity.

e.g.: haiku, pixel art, *box window manager themes (i.e. no pixmaps, only colors/styles, like css)
 
BBWF, I do have a NetBSD machine, but it's on my laptop. I don't use it as often as I would like 🙂. I got half a dozen FreeBSD machines though. One thing I would do with that script though is to make it a crontask to speed things up. Have it run every 10 minutes or so and genereate an HTML file. Anyways, that's some pretty cool stuff 🙂

I prefer it being "live" even if sacrificing speed. It's not scalable, but who cares (for my uses) 😛
