I had all these updates I wanted to do. It was all supposed to work perfectly when I did the update. No such luck. I am pretty pissed. it's 3:30 here in SA now and no luck.

This is why you commit your work little by little and not everything in one fucking big bulk.

Hopefully I will get the updates done tomorrow.

Fuck. I REALLY wanted these updates to come out with the new comic... PENISCOCK!

The new features are up:

In the top right corner you can see the Logo. WOOT!!

New pandanauts can now browse to the beginning of the archive instead of being forced to read everything in reverse order.

Comments: You can now comment on the strip or post. It only allows plain text comments at the moment. Even though I'm a web developer the amount of work I have done that takes user input from the web is very little. Most of the work I have done has been on internal systems. So I don't really know what to expect in terms of bugs or spambots filling in the form. So for now it's just a simple form to minimise the number of things that could go wrong.

There's also a comment rss feed. I built this mainly for myself to can keep up with anything happening on the site.... but you may find some use for it too. I have linked it into the site but you can also find it here: http://feeds.feedburner.com/SpacePanda/comments

Just an aside, I programmed everything myself from scratch and judging from the fact that nothing was working last night, it's all a bit rushed. So if anything doesn't work let me know... also if you have any suggestions... I would be happy to hear them. :)

Some of you are proably thinking: "why code everything yourself? You can just get *product x* that already exists and does it 20 times better and it's free." True... but this is also a portfolio site so if anyone asks me to show them some code, I can point them here and give them Space Panda code as a sample. The site serves a dual purpose... do you see how dynamic I am... Do you see!!?

All those updates I did to the site and worked my butt off for were just April fools!! Haha... I got you guys good. I am gonna remove them now.... HAHA... you guys so fell for that one..

I don't really get April fools. Reading the stories that get passed around by email, I get the impression that you can do anything you want just as long as you say "April Fool's". If you kick someone in the balls? That's ok just as long as you say "April fool's". Or like a friend of someone I know who's girlfriend walked in on him with another woman. He said the first thing that came to his mind. This happened to be "April Fools!".

Obviously I made up that last story... but I don't see why that should stop me from telling it.

Also I am putting google ad's back on the site... I am pretty sure I won't get any money from it so it's mainly as an experiment to see what google links the site with.

I found this quite funny...

I need to finish off the colouring. Check monday night ... london time. I would finish it tonght but I dont want to feel like shit for work tomorrow.... I already feel like shit...
