Login with username and password (forgot your password?)

Controversially, I like the game I'm aware of the limitations of the simulation but that's how I treat all games regardless, so the problems are just challenges to me. So far have not found anything that I can't build around.

I seem to have become a fan of the genre of "rogue like" games. I've heard this originated with Gauntlet, but I am only familiar with IOS games like "Sword of Fargoal", "Dungelot" and "Dungeon Raid". All of these are excellent. I really like the character progression, randomized dungeons etc.
Could anyone point me to good rogue likes for PC?

Found another one called Starkers (http://nathanstaines.com/articles/starkers-html5/)

What Renegade says. You will end up with a blurry form with sharp overlays, especially when printed.

It didn't work out. Time for something else.

I really dislike options, both as a developer and a user. Of course im in the minority here. However, if you measure option usage somehow you could hide / remove those where nearly all users agree, and keep the focus on divisive options where many people disagree.

Worth thinking about. All the options are probably not needed and make it harder to understand the character of the program, introduce more bugs, and add a learning curve.

Also I would hide all divisive options you want to keep in a combo box and away from the interface.

Great contributions everyone

Compared to starting from scratch: This is faster than that plus gives you a better base than piecing together snippets from the wordpress documentation, I have some of the work.
It's also (or will become with your help ) a more reusable base to build off of than other themes and base themes I have seen around because I have left out functionality that is custom to your theme while sensibly implementing shared functionality.

I’ve released a first look at “WordPress Base Theme“, a bare bones base for your own themes:

* DRY (don't repeat yourself)
* KISS (keep it simple stupid)
* easily customisable WordPress base theme.
* uses post formats (standard and link have been implemented)

You can build on this to speed up your own theme development. It's so minimal that I wouldn't recommend it as your final site theme. Instead it makes it trivial to apply your design to a wordpress blog, or to build out from this starting point.

There must be some wordpress users on DC, so feedback is welcome Pull requests are also.

[ctrl-backspace]

I want to nominate ctrl-backspace for keyboard shortcut of the day. I have been using pcs for close to 20 years now and never realised that you could remove the previous word using ctrl-backspace!

Any unusual shortcuts you think we should know about?

Don't get too excited it's just Georgia. Unless you don't have that, and because I haven't specified a fallback, you will see some times new roman or something and that would explain your comment 

You sure you're looking at this?

My own site is now carbonated (still adding content)

Another screencast:
* Creating a new post using the admin interface
* Using the generate site feature to create a full static cache
* using the powershell deployment script to deploy to my host over sftp

In under 2 mins!

[0.2.3 - refinement and bugfixes]

0.2.3 - refinement and bugfixes:
    config: Admin password now needs to be manually enabled
    cache: Correctly generate htaccess
    deployment: only replace hostnames in text files
    cache: only write cache when caching is enabled.
    theme: remove older articles link (non functional)
    deployment: new feature - replace hostname from a to b before deploying cached site

I also broke a bunch of links by changing my main website to a almost empty carbon install. (old site still available)

As long as the government hasn't signed my acceptable use agreement which retroactively applies rights to files I've uploaded, they can't do anything! Muhaha.

But seriously,

Apparently your property rights "become severely limited" if you allow someone else to host your data under standard cloud computing arrangements. This argument isn't limited in any way to Megaupload -- it would apply if the third party host was Amazon's S3 or Google Apps or or Apple iCloud.   

There's a difference between services that are aimed at sharing information with the public, like Megaupload, and services that have private information, such as iCloud. Just need a few appeals and case law before they'll realise, hopefully.

[0.2.2]

Yes, anything that you find otherwise is a bug and I will fix.

(I released 0.2.2 with bugfixes to the feed, will try and slow down a bit.)

[/admin/generate]

Sure, let me explain how caching works first using Carbon.

1. You want to develop with caching off (fully process every request). Carbon doesn't use a database, loads in content files and processes them according to your custom setup.
2. In production you can run carbon with caching on: static html get written to disk on first request and loaded in immediately on subsequent requests (this is about 5-10 times faster than Step 1):

[copy or print]
$this->Cache = new Cache($this);
if ($this->Cache->has_existing_cachefile()) {
exit(readfile($this->Cache->cache_file_from_url()));
}

3. Instead of running it like step 2 in production, you can go to /admin/generate. This will call every page so your cache is a reflection of your complete site.
4. Now you can copy the contents of the cache folder as a complete static site, that way PHP is never used. (I've included a powershell script carbon.ps1 that will do this for you if you use sftp.

Carbon now has a website. You can see what i'm planning for upcoming milesones. There's a wiki for tutorials / carbon powered sites. You can discuss Carbon via IRC (#carbonframework on freenode) and Google groups.

Feedback request: Being so directly involved, I'd love to know, if you have checked out Carbon but gave up, at what point that was so that I can focus my time on making it accessible.

[0.2.1]

Just tagged 0.2.1.
I've rewritten the framework using instances instead of static classes, which will help to implement unit tests where required in the future.
I've also managed to simplify the code in the process, it should be much easier to understand now:

Posts are listed in the index page. Pages contain a section of YAML followed by Markdown, by default.
Pages just contain markdown content, by default. In the _basic_ theme, pages are linked from the footer.
Configuration settings override the defaults.
Manage your data models and theming logic using the MVC classes in the _public/application_ folder.

desktop environment is the environment your desktop loads in (unity, gnome, kde). Distro is the distribution which is everything that is distributed towards you when you install an OS.

Look at the distros with the largest community as you will find the most help with any problems, unless you have a particular need that you are already aware off.
Community > features.

I'd go with the search box solution, but alternatively use Level
