hey guys,
http://www.oculasm.org/glitch/te…
This is my dissertation companion site.. *soon to be live* I plan to use it while working on my dissertation.
I'd appreciate it if you guys could give it a spin before I start populating it with content.
the links section and the checkbox might be really messed up but it works onmy machine at the moment.
please let me know what you think and if theres something majorly wrong with it displaying on mac's etc..
any comments about 640 x 480 screen resolutions will not be tolerated.. :)

may I just add its mostly filler text in there at the moment. I'd like to know whether it has any major problems displaying correctly.

nice. I like it.
r u gonna put some movement in it? some kind of interaction?like maybe something in the viewing area to correspond with the artist they're mousing over.
just thinkin in text...
nice work. I look forward to actually reading about the artists

hang on that sounds quite good.. maybe as you hover over the timeline the links should change it that frame instead of clicking on the timeline entries.. Ill work on that!! yeah I like that idea! cheers, and thank you for your other comments.. once its up properly I'll send you a little link if you like.

- DigitalMe0
please do send. I'll read it.
...so it better be good.
ha!

:) just refresh should work..
http://www11.brinkster.com/dateb…man I did that datebk thing ages ago with some friends it took ages in asp, .. and its still hosted on brinkster.
Ive put you on my little list of people to update when I finish adding content to the site, :)

bump* anyone else looked? cheers..

looks ok, do you think you will have enough space there to display images at a decent size aswell as what I presume will be a considerable amount of copy in an easy to read manner?
- oculasm0
hmm.. good point rasko.. made me think a little..
the only images on there at the moment are the ones already there in the image pages section. I wasnt planning on displaying larger images.
with regards to easy to read text,, Im losing some usability due to the small size of everything.. If I had time I probably would have reworked this so the timeline would push aside and leave more space for the text at a larger size.. does everything seem to work though. Im testing it today on my university's macs. I usually find teh fonts look a tad smaller on macs.

yeah all works ok, I'm on mac aswell and the text looks fine.
It would be nice in the future to see more and larger images, afterall, that what its all about. Re. the text I guess it sepends if you're using it for your whole diss.. or just as a kind of update site where large amounts of copy may not appear
? I like the timeline idea though.

cheers rasko, you always respond to my site check threads, its very appreciated.
thanks for the mac test.
I was thinking of providing the images for download. and yes there will be more! I love making them. :)
this is really just as an update site I suppose. to contact people who are involved in making glitch related art.
The Dissertation sections will appear in pdf form.Ive yet to contact so many brilliant people and friends who make great glitches.
Benjamin Fischer is one:
