As I said I would have some images up of the fresh plants on our balcony. I got myself something orange too :)

So I decided to make the forum I found part of my homepage. I hope to be able to use it for some stuff that is not fit for discussing on the blog – like for example which movie we’re going to see tomorrow night :) or for our Alliance for a certain web-based sci-fi game some of us are playing. I tried to make they layout similar to the blog as good as I can, there may be some glitches after all I spent only a couple of hours on the layout. So if you feel like it register …
So I had been reading about Bentos a bit too often and decided I needed one for my lunch breaks. So I ordered one and since the selection was kind of weird anyway I decided to go for “absolutely weird” … I was forced to write this post and show everybody how weird I really am ;)
I went shopping for plants for the balcony today after work. I got myself a nice big rosemary plant, some oregano and thyme and of course a few of those nice flowers: orange and dark red. Tomorrow I’ll plant everything and then I’ll also have some photos to show off.
The other day I found out about a shiny new forum software and decided I had to check out Vanilla, install and play some. I found it via the We know website.
Of course I don’t really need another or a new forum for anything. That’s really a problem because it would love to use it for the (WoW) guild forum or some other thing.
But I do remember very well all the trouble people gave me when I changed the guild’s board from phpbb to smf. So I am sure I cannot make them use this forum. Especially since Vanilla is rather “different” from most forums I know. Basically it’s as the name says “Vanilla” when you install it without any modifications. It’s just some categories, a few settings, a few roles (aka ranks) and a page with new posts. No more. No smiley’s, no private messaging (whispers instead, neat idea, but people will miss the PM features despite eMail being so much better than PMs) …
Then I started installing a few addons – it’s nearly as much fun as installing WoW addons – and it became even better. It’s got all these nice little javascripted ajax gimmicks built in and with the really fancy editor that can be dropped in it looks so much better than all the other forums I know.
*sigh* now I need to think of a way to use it for more than my personal playground ;)
