There is even code ready for browsing through the calendar, and picking days so you see all messages for that specific day (like this many we had last year). This brings us to Planet Blender v2 beta3, which I have dubbed “Remember the days”. Some sample URLs for the impatient:

http://www.planetblender.org/cal/2009/10 (this one shows just different calendar)

http://www.planetblender.org/day/2008/11/10 (this one shows messages for that day)

I’ll be adding more browsing functionality (like older/newer buttons, and search) over time. Keep checking the site for news!

The speed of v2 beta1 was frankly quite awful, and I was looking into doing something with clean and small code.

I searched for solutions and finally I tried my hand on Web.py. In 10 minutes I rewrote the front-end to something that is nice compact and easy to maintain. I dropped also the resource hog javascript (dojotoolkit) so that the site is now nice fast compared to the previous version. I imagine that browsing Planet Blender is now easier also for those that use addons like NoScript and filtering solutions. There’s still enough left to do (like a proper layout), but with the new code in place I should be able to write more code in shorter time (I’m just more comfortable writing Python than PHP… )

I hope you enjoy coming to this Planet Blender and find information and news to your liking.

I have today added the Blender related RSS feeds for a few very interesting Vimeo channels, as mentioned in http://vimeo.com/BlenderAnim/blog:1821

I hope that we can together make sure that our Planet keeps growing into a wealth of information.
