Wesley's Tool-Box

I'm changing the router this evening. The website may not be accessible for a while some time between now and midnight.

There have been several improvements to the site design.

I've been meaning to fill the empty space to the right of the text on each of the sidebar items since, well, it felt empty. So I've now made some icons and put them there. It should blend in nicely with the existing design.

While I was on that, I also made the blue arrows to replace the default ones which are currently visible on the calendar. Speaking of calendar, I adjusted the year/month display method to make it look okay on both English and Korean version of the website. The margins between each rows were changed so that the numbers don't stick so close together.

The problems with width element I had with the design had been pretty much fixed now. It was that some articles (mostly the ones from the old website) were prone to stretch the width of the content pane slightly. Also, on Mozilla-based web browsers, the article view often resulted in incorrect width adjustment, making the page a lot wider than intended. The website stylesheet has been adjusted to remedy these anomalies.

The new point release of Serendipity (s9y), version 0.8.3, came out a few hours ago, which can be found in the official download page. This marks the first official s9y release with full Korean support, completed by yours truly. Previously, the first s9y version with such support was to be the next major release, 0.9. I have already noted this in my previous post. However, I thought it would be better to have this come out sooner than later, so I backported the changes to the 0.8 branch, and naturally the new release came out with the changes integrated.

Of course, the new version also comes with an ample set of security patches and bugfixes, making it a recommended update. My 'HTML Nugget on Page' plugin can now function fully with this version because
a new hook intended for 0.9 was backported and is part of 0.8.3. Complete information related to the 0.8.3 version update can be found in the official s9y blog.

The last movie in the so-called 'vengeance trilogy' by director Chan-Wook Park, called 'Chinjeolhan Geumjassi' is now showing in the Korean theatres and has already taken the #1 spot in the box office. Foreign readers will be more familiar with the English version of the title 'Sympathy for Lady Vengeance'. Director Park has carved himself a name among the minds of many movie enthusiasts everywhere with his multi-award-winning movie 'Oldboy', the second installment of the aforementioned trilogy.

Obviously, I'm writing this because I've just seen the movie. (some spoilers ahead)

Three days from now, six decades ago, world's first atomic bomb to be used in combat was detonated over Hiroshima, Japan. The picture above was made by putting the location and the yield of the bomb as currently known into HYDESim, (High-Yield Detonation Effects Simulator). The overpressure radii for 1psi reaches 2.88km, according to the simulator.
