I'm in the very early stages of creating a new design for the site. The underlying system isn't going to change much but the layout and client-side functionality is under review for some improvements.

Some of my thoughts right now on a new design include a more minimal layout, a fixed header with the pulldown menus laid out in a way that conserves space (and stays visible no matter where you scroll the page content), pure HTML5 audio and video playback, SVG graphics, and CSS3 rounded corners and shadows as opposed to using graphics-based design elements.

Basically, I'm in the can I do this and be compatible with all modern browsers phase. Certainly, all web designers have to go through this phase when considering a new layout for a site.

Of course, not only are the technical issues an early hurdle but coming up with snazzy new header artwork is also a challenge.]]> http://www.nitrocosm.com/go/rants/98/ Sat, 28 Jan 2012 08:00:00 GMT http://content.nitrocosm.com/2214_classic/168.png http://www.nitrocosm.com/go/2214_classic/168/ Fri, 27 Jan 2012 08:00:00 GMT
2214 has now officially concluded and I'm looking forward to new art and music projects.

Right now, I have several ideas forming about what to do next.

2214 will remain in the comic archives on this site indefinitely.

Hopefully, it's been fun.]]> http://www.nitrocosm.com/go/rants/97/ Fri, 13 Jan 2012 08:00:00 GMT http://content.nitrocosm.com/2214_classic/167.jpg
2214 Started in February 2003. Through many starts and stops over this past decade, Ravenna, Bus, Saja, Malachi, Virulyde, Azurat, and the rest of the cast has experienced quite an adventure.

Many loose ends are left open - intentionally.

I hope you have enjoyed 2214. I have brought the story to a conclusion at this point. The comic will remain here indefinitely in the archives.

Ravenna, Bus, and Azurat have unexpectedly received a final gift from the Fumacite trio. Aboard their vessel, the Hovercrane, the Zetsfir tower has suddenly been activated in order to send them back to their own time on the planet Earth.]]> http://www.nitrocosm.com/go/2214_classic/167/ Fri, 13 Jan 2012 08:00:00 GMT http://content.nitrocosm.com/2214_classic/166.jpg http://www.nitrocosm.com/go/2214_classic/166/ Fri, 13 Jan 2012 08:00:00 GMT
2214, as a web comic, has been running since February 2003. Over the years I've kind of run out of steam in updating the comic.

I need to find out if anyone still reads the comic.

Let me know if you're still interested in updates. E-mail me here: Contact page You can also send me a message on Twitter; I'm Nitrocosm on there.

Your input is important. I have no idea what to do and cannot make a decision. If anyone still reads 2214 and wants to see how the story turns out, I'll continue it to its conclusion. If there is no interest, I'd like to move on to other projects and clear my plate, so to speak.]]> http://www.nitrocosm.com/go/rants/96/ Thu, 12 Jan 2012 08:00:00 GMT
