Big Changes

There are some big changes ahead! I've been very busy over break working on this website. Here are some of the things I've been doing:
  • I bought the dupyshon.com domain name. I wanted to get kylan.com or kylanrobinson.com, but they were both taken. Dupyshon.com will be the new home of my website, and I'm already in the process of building the site. Don't worry, most of the stuff on my current site will make the transition over to this new site.
  • I wrote a program for the CSOTW page. In C++, I wrote a program which updates the CSOTW list and outputs it in XML. Then I learned how to use XSL to format the XML information into a web page.
  • My new website has an iframe sidebar menu. I think this system will work pretty well for updates and page layout.
  • My blog has a new template, as you might have noticed. I adapted it from one by Douglas Bowman. To do so, I had to learn some CSS. I really like CSS because is it really powerful and reminiscent of object-oriented programming.
I'm most happy that this whole project has forced me to learn/use five different programming languages. It's been a good exercise to prepare for some of my future classes.
