New Icar Website

[Rob Lang]

Having sucked months from my life, I have finally reached a design I am happy with. Oh the joy!

Now I can get on with all the other things I want to do - including my character thing for Templars.

All comments and critique on the new site are gladly welcomed:

Very impressive Rob! I'm glad you got away from the confined layout you had going initially, but without changing the theme. Good use of your own artwork, especially the mech and the pod pictures. Excellent detail work with the rocket booster engines in the top right corner of the main panel and icons in the latest files section.

FYI - No flaws or hiccups in IE 6.0.28 or Firefox v.0.8. If I may, I suggest for linking purposes you stick to and not . The first seems to have been more recognized by Google and it's good to standardize.

Have you noticed the on 1k1mkt? I'd be happy to put one up for you.

Thanks Keet! It's great to get some feedback from someone as thorough as you. I am currently designing a banner and will send one on when it's finished.

I started by linking through to but the server did not recognise the .xml extension as a default homepage. I set up a dodgy redirect until my friend (who owns the server) could get in there and add it to the top.

Opera users can't view the site, which is a real pity and I am working on a way to automatically convert it all to HTML (saving the output essentially). It's odd that Opera does not support XML/XSL, given that the standard on the W3C is nearly 5 years old!

Thanks again for the comments.

The first sun eclipse that can be viewed in China in the new century begins at around 7:00 pm Beijing Time, and will last for about two hours, although the total eclipse will be only two minutes.The beginning of a sun eclipse is seen in Yiwu, a small pastoral county in Hami Prefecture 500 kilometers east of Urumqi, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Picture taken at 18:16, August 1, 2008. [sina.com.cn]About 10,000 tourists have gathered at an observation square on Friday in Yiwu, a small pastoral county in Hami Prefecture 500 kilometers east of Urumqi, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region's capital.The China National Astronomical Observatories under the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has announced Hami in Xinjiang and Jiuquan in neighboring Gansu Province as the best places in China to observe the eclipse.According to astronomers, the next solar eclipse to be seen in China will occur on July 22, 2009.Cheng Zuo, a research fellow from the Purple Mountain Observatory based in east China's Jiangsu Province said that his research found that 55 years from now, another sun eclipse would be viewed from Yiwu, Xinjiang.Eclipses are scientifically interesting because they allow a rare glimpse of the cooler corona, glowing gases near the sun's surface and solar flares, which are normally not visible because of the brightness of the sun, he said.

Always ask questions regarding the job, the company, the culture, training opportunities, career advancements, the expectations of the successful candidate etc. Never the pay - it's rude for a 1st interview (aasuming there are more rounds). If the co. wants you, they will initiate discussion.
