After slacking on deploying some design improvements I made for jazzrecord.org, I finally pushed them today! JazzRecord visitors might notice the jump in version numbering from a 0.1b to 0.5. This should reflect the vast improvements to the library Nick has been making while I’ve been letting the site stagnate! (JazzRecord on Twitter has the skinny on all the juicy commits he’s been making.)
The design improvements are actually weeks old, but thanks to a certain popular browser developed by an unnamed Redmond-based software giant/Windows-peddler, the absolutely gorgeous redesign had to wait until I could procure a copy of said operating system in order to pander to the masses. This proved a more daunting task than common sense otherwise dictates, but I’ve finally been able to test and tweak and prod and poke the new design into MSIE compliance! The funny thing is that only 7.92% of our visitors use MSIE!! (And we suspect that 7% of the 7.92% are microwaves and garage openers spoofing their headers as IE!) However, I am on a job hunt right now, and I realize that the demographic of recruiters and potential employers is probably more inclined to use IE than our beloved Jazz users. I digress…
Note that curvy corner CSS progressively enhances the experience for users of modern browsers! It’s amazing how crappy the boxy corners look in comparison. (Sorry, garage openers!) However, I plan to soon implement image-based curviness, so 92.08% of you guys better bask in the privileged treatment while it lasts!
To whet your appetite for some more jazzrecord.org goodness–coming soon (I have no idea how soon): PDF documentation downloads!
