Ah yes, old habits.....

11 January, 2009

Until I manage to order my foam board from the graphic supplies firm, I've been playing around with some forum code. I just couldn't help it, I'm so used to getting sites right that I slipped back into dev mode. Having said that though, a forum dedicated to American On30 narow gauge might work (sort of). The software is the problem. If you've read my main site blog you'll know I am a KISS rule guy and PHP does not fall into that category., so I use Perl (stable, backward compatible and very flexible).

I have been working on the last downloadable verson of Cutecast, but there are some things I'm a bit iffy on about it working on a sub-domain. I also have my old Forum2/3 software and have been playing around with it. Then, of course, there is the one I'm completely writing from scratch. Hummm, choices.

Back to the foam board. I want the 10mm stuff as it should be really solid. I can make fairly solid bases from the 5mm, if done properly, but would rather the heavier 10mm format.

Just ordered my foam board. Not exactly what I wanted as the orders are by the carton. So I got some 5mm thick stuff that I'll have to double up for the main base and edge it out with single layer and single layer interior supports. Should arrive next week.
