release alpha 0.0002

just to show I've not been entirely idle, but not probably
particularly indicitive of how it'll end up, but:

http://cluebyfour.info/dtest/index.cfm

is the "work in progress" for the next release of ukrm.net

 

If you're after opinions (I know, it's a bit rich coming from me): IMO
especially the background is a bit too busy I think. And I liked the old
colours better.

If you're not after opinions, delete the previous....

 

Looks good.

Dunno about the poncy red thing though.

 

the background?

That may or may not change, but the content boxes will be growing in
size to cover more of it, IYSWIM.

 

I am, to a certain extend.

The finished work probably won't look like that - it's just that I've
finally got the CMS to run live, and thought I may as well get it
visible. The final result probably will be "less brown".

 

Looking good. I must get round to contributing something at some point.

Feel free to link to my homepage - lots of pics of UKRM runs / parties
etc. on there (just need to update some of the links).

I like that, lots.

Very nice graphic.

 

well, thanks.

A couple of broked links but I am sure you have been told about them
already.

Nice though. Well done. I look forward to the finished item.

 

How usable is it for bandwidth lepers using modems?

Excellent. I think using opera helps but all the text and shite comes
down and is usable while the little pickies load.

Each page is not so overloaded with grafix that it takes forever to load
if you do want to see them.

 

its fine by remote dial-up access in Switzerland.

its does have a couple of broken links though (specifically two
external ones in the acronym page!)

 

Not good, if my experience downloading the front page just now was
anything to go by.

I was pleased to see a lack of faux-jap insignia, mind.

[1] Got a copy if you are interested darsy.

 

Yeah, the Designers Republic bit. The layout and usability seem
pretty spot on to me.

Very, very nice looking and well thought out.
well done that man.

I like it. All of it.

 

Impressed. I like the way everything is overlaid onto the background piccy.

 

Verrr naice. The cowpat background is a bit urm... shittish.

Apart from that, the overall look and feel is good.

****, but that Beemer's ugly. Who sold you that then?

Apart from that, the background's a bit gay. Everything else is
luvverly. Keep up the good work...
