Christening of Iterative Canvas

Hopefully I will officially deprecate my existing implementation of Chaos Game and launch the new version built into Fractal Canvas soon! I am porting the code over tonight. Below is a quick sketch of the control pane.

296 Lines

A night-and-a-day later, I'm 296 lines into the layout! (from body tag to body tag it's 34 lines, and 242 from style to style - no scripts needed!) A pure HTML5/CSS3 layout, this uses new (still developing) technology found in the latest browsers.

My next step is to start bringing this into my SAFE environment running locally. Unfortunately, on my shared host where the database server is separate from the web server, the preliminary SAFE config files need heavy tweaking (by default some tables require SUPER privileges in mySQL.) I am talking to the other developers about fixing that.

Color Scheme

Design Inspiration

The framework I am using is designed to be built into a layout. Having set up the basics for the framework, I am now looking to finalize my layout and start the fun part - coding it. The existing design needs work... I like the colors, but for a more advanced site there is a lot to be desired. There is no way to link to several applications, the site doesn't adapt well to screen sizes, the text is perhaps a little hard to read, and there is no navigation within a page.

I keep most of my sketches for website layouts around, buried in some pile or another, but there was one that I particularly liked and put on my bulletin board right above my computer (see picture). I think I have finally found a suitable project, so it is time to dig out my sketchbook and fold my existing layout into it! Stay posted for more sketches to come soon.
