Welcome!
Welcome to the testing phase of what will (hopefully) eventually become Melondog.

Unless you somehow randomly stumbled upon this site, you were asked to visit to perform a few tests of its functionality. If you did just happen to stumble by, there is no information of use on the site- sorry to disappoint. If you would like to assist in the debugging process, feel free. Just navigate around and try stuff out.

For the rest of you, I might have given you some specific instructions. Try to debug in whatever way I relayed to you. If I told you to just come by for a visit, just look around and try to manipulate the page (by scrolling, clicking, etc.) If you were supposed to come to debug some external file, you should have gotten its URI already. If you have forgotten it, please email me and I'll give you the URI.

If you are debugging (or are otherwise interested), you may click here to view the changelog in its entirety.

Be sure to test out the 'accesskeys' while you are here. You can navigate the site by using your keyboard, much like you can navigate your favorite programs. Just hold ALT and press the corresponding letter key (inside the brackets on the Roadmap) to navigate to a particular page!

Enjoy!

Fortunecity Woes
I have been hosting my website at Fortunecity for a bit now to simply test the functionality on the web. I have been self-testing primarily with Mozilla Firefox 0.9.1, up until this evening.

When I fired up IE, much to my dismay, I was confronted with a plethora of popups, cookies, and even some spyware that was attempting to install itself on my machine. I was, to say the least, apalled, that I have been subjecting my friends to such bullshit.

It is my hope to allocate some personal funds and open up an actual website (with a real live domain name and everything, pa!) sometime in the future. Unfortunately, as some of you no doubt know, I recently had my gallbladder removed. This has kept me out of work for (going on) three weeks now, and now work means no money for websites.

I thought I found a new webserver that would rid me of some of the ads and spyware- there is a mirror of this site at http://snow.prohosting.com/melondog, but, unfortunately, I have been able to actually access the site maybe twice. I get a steady stream of crapping 404 errors, which leads me to believe that their service is just bottom-of-the-barrel.

All of that said, I hope to come into some money soonish so that I can activate the new server. Until then, you can check here or at the prohosting mirror (don't get your hopes up) to see any updates. I hope to have all of this resolved soon.

As for the popups, cookies, and spyware, all I can say is if you are using IE, you'll have to close the popups (or use a popup blocker) and cancel the request to assrape your machine with spyware each time it pops up. You could also use Firefox, which has kept me oblivious to all the aforementioned! Your choice :)

Hopefully you can enjoy the site until I can get it migrated over to the new server- keep testing and sending me feedback, it is very helpful.

Changelog updates
The changelog will be getting a facelift of its own very soon.

I have been working furiously most recently to update the look of the page. I think I have finally settled in on a style but not yet a color scheme. This means that the changelog will have to be updated to match that scheme (so that it can appear in the same page layout).

While I have settled on the layout of the page, I am still tweaking the colors a bit. I do, however, like the red and gray theme, and I may add a navy and gray theme to contrast a bit.

With that, there has not been much work on the style-selection front. I still have plenty of debugging to do. Hopefully I will have an update for that area shortly!
