Planet NZTech upgrade and design refresh
We interrupt this silence to mention Planet NZTech has had a software upgrade and a little bit of a design refresh. It's now running the 2.0 release of Planet, meaning--among other things--we can now handle Atom feeds correctly. There have been other feed processing fixups in the code too so hopefully we'll end up seeing less spurious HTML on the page.
I've also given the page a bit of a design refresh--less than what I had planned a while ago but more than what had actually been achieved prior to now. I don't claim the new look is necessarily an improvement but unless it makes you violently ill or leads to incapacitating spasms in the audience the design is probably here to stay for the moment.
The new design de-emphasises the grouping by author and focuses on the post titles. The change in emphasis is a bit of an experiment partly inspired by the look of the recently launched Planet OpenMoko. I think the approach has promise and if nothing else hopefully the inspiration will lead to me getting a Neo1973 phone to play with. (I wish!)
If you notice any issues as a result of the changes I'd appreciate you letting me know.
