New Layout

Submitted by Thirtysixway on Sat, 04/25/2009 - 5:14pm

I put up the new layout for noobbox.  It looks a lot better (in my opinion.)  There are a couple of things I want to fix, some of the links to the left are hard to read and the Search button at the top is cut off a bit.  But tell me what you think of the new look.

Soon I'll be changing or adding a page to display my portfolio of work and projects I've done online.

Downtime and Updates

Submitted by Thirtysixway on Wed, 04/22/2009 - 10:07pm

Sorry about the site being offline for the past 2 hours.  I was doing some work, and I thought that the site came off of maintenance mode but aparently it didn't. :s

I'm looking at using a different theme for the site.  I like the current theme, but the new one I'm looking at is brighter and more fun.  It will be changed in the next couple of days.  Also, I've enabled commenting for anonmyous users (with captcha, of course.)  So now you don't have to register for an account to post comments.

Oh and Ubuntu 9.04 comes out tomorrow and I can't download it because my computer is packed away for a week.  But you should download it, it's supposed to be faster than 8.10.

One question I see a lot of mixed answers for on the Ubuntu Forums is "how can I auto-mount my samba share?"  So here are some quick and easy ways to get your samba share mounted on login.
