Danny The Champion

Now that Cyclog is nearly ready for “final release” I will delete the old version and post screenshots for nostalgic reasons and for those visitors who are interested in Internet archeology. Most content was transferred to the new page, only the boring stuff was kicked out.

5x2 (Cinq Fois Deux)

Cinq Fois Deux by director Francois Ozon tells the story of a couple in episodes, beginning with their divorce and ending with the outset of their relationship.

I liked the actors' performance but neither story nor pictures could grip me and left me somewhat disappointed. Watching the movie was as exciting as reading a book beginning with the last chapter. IMHO the idea of reversing or scrambling the timeline of the story has been realised much better in other films (e.g. Memento or Eternal Sunshine on the Spotless Mind).

Wixel Font

I used this font in several projects (some may be found on this page) but it took me some time to develop the complete font. Tt is based on a grid of 4 x 4 pixels or squares and consists of minuscles only plus some symbols. Download the font as zipped TrueType.

Camera History

A list of cameras I owned and used in chronological order:

  • Yashica Something: my first own compact camera. Well, you could take photographs with it.
  • Pentax ME Super: a very nice SLR camera. Pity it broke.
  • Canon Powershot S10: my first digital camera cost a fortune back in 2001. Now almost worthless old digicrap.
  • Sony Cybershot DSC-P150: leight weight and small.

Interaction

Probably the last sound heard before the Universe folded up like a paper hat would be someone saying, ‘What happens if I do this?’.

Technology

Cyclog is built with the Apache Cocoon Command Line Interface. Me is a fan of Cocoon — as long as everything runs smoothly ☺.

Idea

Scetch

The initial idea was to design a navigation that is circular instead of a standard rectangular one. I combined this with flash scrollbars I had created before.

Furthermore the design was inspired by Japanes folding fans (衵扇, Hiôgi or Ōgi). First designs were horizontal rather than vertical. I rejected them in favour of the vertical version which offered more space for content.

The name Cyclog is an artificial composition of the words weblog and cycle (a circle in space or time, a word full of meanings: life cycle, bicycle, moon cycle, cycle of the seasons,…).
