New skin, new place. Last post from here

DON'T PANIC!
if you can see this entry, then everything is just alright. i just moved the link from http://anthronic.com/blog to http://anthronic.com, You shouldn't have noticed a thing, but really sorry if your newsreader can handle this smothly. If your newsreader didn't handle it well, please update the RSS to http://anthronic.com/xml-rss2.php

now to the usual entry, shall we? :)

I choose fire as the new skin for anthronic.com simply because there is fire in me for the last two week or more to work on new folder, migrating everything from the old place to the new place and other exhausting work related to this. Seriously, that is not the best way to spend your weekend
This new skin is the most complex skin I ever build. Not only this one is the longest script I ever wrote, but also the first skin that try to skinned everything from title to clipping to Porto.
The steps
my new skin
Like previous skin, I always start with concept design. This concept, like you can see below, integrating a lot of design style from every part of blogosphere. But the most significant thing of course the two column layout. This layout is quite new from me, so I learnt as fast as I can about this.

After finished with the concept design, I separated the design into two major parts, the first part is the foreground image, this part had something to do with template system. The second part is the background, the image in this part is integrated into skin system.

the separation
Like you all know, I never trust the color management of CorelDraw, not alone the compress-picture capabilities in it. So like usual, I send these two images to Photoshop in .PNG and bitmap format. PNG for the foreground image and .BMP for the background

After that, I slice every image I need for the blog. Save those images into .gif and .jpg. Wala! The rest is history


The flick-like Porto and photos teaser
Ok, now I want to introduce one part of my blog that kinda new and maybe cool too. If you look at the bottom of anthronic.com, you’ll see the photo and Porto thumbnail. Believe it or not, I actually created that using native function of nucleus. No need for some fancy plug-in to do that.

look like flickr huh:)

The flexibility of nucleus template system really help me to do this, first of all, I deleted everything that had something to do with the blog, like title, content creator etc. Then after that only put image content in the form and wrap it with link variable that will link the image to the item address. This link variable is generated on the fly by nucleus, making the image always connected to the right item.
This idea is still new and unpolished, so maybe it’s not perfect yet, hopefully I have enough time to perfecting the template system for images

Why there is no picture in this article?

On March 2008, anthronic.com account server that was hosted by singcat, freeze by their data center. The reason was because there are many spam account originate from my account server, probably because singcat was hosting a lot of spam account in the same server as I am, meaning that because of those spam accounts, all legitimate account was also terminated including mine. To make matter worse, I don't have any access whatsoever into my data that was stored in my account, although luckily I can rebuild SQL database from the backup (that's explain why you still see the article but not the picture).

That is the reason why you see no picture in this article; it was because I didn't have the original picture that goes along with the article. Of course several pictures can be restored from my offline draft but I’m afraid some pictures will never be recovered. I hope you understand this completely and I'm sorry for this troublesome fact.

Kenapa tidak ada gambar di artikel ini?

Pada Maret 2008, akun anthronic.com yang dihosting oleh singcat dibekukan pihak data center singcat. Alasannya server tempat anthronic.com ditempatkan telah menjadi server spam. Akibatnya semua akun yang tidak terlibat apa-apa dengan hal ini juga ikut dibekukan termasuk milik saya. Lebih parah lagi saya tidak punya/tidak diberikan akses apapun untuk bisa mengambil data yag telah disimpan di akun tersebut termasuk file gambar, walaupun syukurnya saya masih bisa mengembalikan SQL databasenya (itu menjelaskan kenapa anda bisa melihat artikelnya tapi tidak bisa melihat gambarnya).

Walaupun sebagian kecil gambar bisa dikembalikan, saya pikir tidak ada kemungkinan untuk bisa mengembalikan sebagian besar gambar yang lain.Saya harap anda semua mengerti hal ini dan saya minta maaf atas kejadian ini.

Andrianto Hapsoro

Last Project Entry

Nucleus Core is my newest attemp to buid a generic, easy to use but nice blog theme for NucleusCMS, using only html, css and some plugins framework as a baseline
Mengingat yang namanya maintenance record dari sebuah mobil adalah hal yang mutlak ada, maka saya berinisiatif untuk membuat sendiri buku maintenance record untuk Peugeot saya yang lebih baik dari buku generik yang sudah ada. Ini adalah hasil desainnya
Desainnya sederhana, menggunakan teknik "back minus front" di Coreldraw untuk mendapatkan efek "lama". Gambarnya di render ulang dari sumber di Internet.
Beberapa sample desain yang saya buat untuk Tribute Distro, label milik teman kostan saya, Aulia CP :)

Merayakan acara tahunan ulang tahun, Kakak, Ibu, saya dan Ibunya Iges, di Hanamasa cibubur, acaranya sendiri cukup rame mengingat hanya keluarga kecil yang datang dan pastinya diakhiri oleh rasa kenyang yang berlebihan :D

Buka Puasa M01 2008 di Duck King pelangi yang agak terlalu cepat selesai karena PIC-nya mau belanja lebaran, hihihi
Beberapa waktu lalu saya pernah liburan di garut bersama keluarga, walaupun Garut terdengar suatu daerah yang jauh dari hingar bingar kota besar, Garut ternyata adalah kota yang cukup rapi dan didalamnya terdapat beberapa hotel bintang 3.. great vacation if I may said.
Sedikit kenangan tentang Lebaran 2008, rutinitas yang sama, tapi tetap enak untuk dijalani, halah bahasanya :))
Sebenarnya sebagian besar foto-foto ini sudah ada di Facebook, saya hanya ingin menampilkan sisi lainnya saja, terutama dari sisi teman-teman among tamu dan beberapa lainnya
