Gareth Hughes Trying something new with the design

I got annoyed with the previous design, mostly because I suck at it. So i'm trying something a bit different with the design, I will probably change it again soon until I'm happy with it again.

I'm now going to look into using some new tech on this site, I really want to use Node.js for something so I may add that to here. There's also the possibility that I use it in the "game" I started to make using canvas. http://home.grhughes.com/ (Doesn't do much other than movement with the arrow keys right now.)

I ran into an interesting problem with upgrading a web app that was made using Google Gears and SVG ,the problem is that Gears is no longer supported so this app basically only works in Firefox 3.6 which isn't the fastest browser in the world. Because of the heavy Gears reliance I can't easlly get it to work in newer browsers as Gears hasn't been maintained. I was looking at WebSQL but that seems to be dead too, so other than rewrite half of the app I'm not sure what I can do with it now.
