Website To-Do List

2006-05-28T19:25:10Z

Montoya:

RedBrick's new website is incomplete. If you find any broken stuff, please add it to the list!

== To-Do ==

* /images/blank.gif is missing, ie6 has a nice red 'x' planted over the RB logo
* Should the help tutorials be moved onto the wiki?
: ''Yes, helpdesk are already intending to do this and other things. Best to leave this item for them, they have Plans with a capital Pee.'' --[[User:Phaxx|Phaxx]] 15:03, 25 May 2006 (IST)
* http://planet.redbrick.dcu.ie should be updated to match style of new site
: ''When I helped set it up I just linked to the main site's CSS and now thats gone with the new RB site so now it's broken.'' --[[User:Cammy|The Dead One]] 10:30, 25 May 2006 (IST)
::''All the origional CSS files are still in their origional location.'' [[user:art_wolf|art_wolf]]
* If the browser is resized down, the right panel (and, eventually, the middle) disappear down the page.
* "Dublin City University Networking Society" is in tiny writing, floating in space & consumed by those large shortcut buttons. The grey text doesn't make it anymore visible either!
* Add pictures to the "chat", "boards", "putty" buttons at the top. Antialias the text in the buttons, it looks a bit rough.
: ''Plans are to fully integrate the site with a login - so when loged in it will display emails, how many people in chat, how many new posts to the boards etc.''[[user:art_wolf|art_wolf]]
* The wiki should be a vhost - wiki.redbrick.dcu.ie instead of www.redbrick.dcu.ie/~wiki/mw/
: ''This partially works, but all the links inside the wiki use the ugly ~wiki style.''
:: ''We tried to set this up initially but for some complicated reason couldn't. Not sure if this is a wish for the new redbrick site or the wiki. Is the wiki to be integrated more into the main redbrick site?'' --[[User:Cammy|The Dead One]] 10:30, 25 May 2006 (IST)
::: ''I just tried accessing the wiki via wiki.rb.dcu.ie/~wiki - It worked for the most part, but the pubcookie login wasn't having any effect. Had to go to www.rb.dcu.ie/~wiki to edit this. This may cause a problem. - [[user:werdz|werdz]]''
* Update pubcookie to match look of new website design
: ''Are you sure? A great many pages will send users to the pubcookie login page, from all sorts of different styles. Is there much point in making the pubcookie page match the style of just one of the sites?''
::''Yes,assuming the long term plan is for all official redbrick web services to use pub cookie and to look somewhat similar''
* Pubcookie enable webmails
: ''Been investigating this for awhile - problem is that it requires to combining the pubcookie login and webmail logins - pubcookie on its own cannot do this.''[[user:art_wolf|art_wolf]]
* Update webmails look to match look of new website design
* Add tab icon to squirrelmail
: ''Where?''[[user:art_wolf|art_wolf]]
* that gradiant affect is annoying on the content pages.
* http://www.redbrick.dcu.ie/services/userfree/ doesnt work
* http://www.redbrick.dcu.ie/about/sponsors/ links on right are for about
* http://www.redbrick.dcu.ie/about/admins/hardware/ should be wikied. It'll be updated far more frequently if it is.

Why Did You Choose Your Username

2005-09-04T00:55:14Z

Montoya:

Feel free to add an an entry about your username below!



==[[User:kpodesta|kpodesta]]==

Because that's my real name. I thought Redbrick was some email yoke - all else fails, I was getting a decent email address.

==[[User:noelfitz|noelfitz]]==

8 letter truncation of my real name (boring but true.)

==[[User:svan|svan]]==

<u>S</u>arunas <u>Van</u>cevicius. First letter of name, then first 3 letters from surname.

==[[User:fox_chic|fox_chic]]==

Cause I'm an xphile and Mulder's first name is Fox. :)

==[[User:bilco|bilco]]==

Cause as a fresher I though it was the character's name from The Hobbit

==[[User:art_wolf|art_wolf]]==

Cool picture I have hanging up. Have had it for ages and its by Art Wolfe.

==[[User:singer|singer]]==

I was a singer in a band. The guitarist mocked me for being the singer by calling me "singer". The nickname stuck. Non-Redbrick people address me as singer! My 2nd choice username was "scano".

==[[User:shimoda|shimoda]]==

It was a character in a book (Illusions by Richard Bach) I read during my formative years. Another rb user thought the description of the protagonist was suited to me so I nabbed the name.

==[[User:sandman|sandman]]==

I didn't. It was assigned on the basis that a) I was asleep and b) I read comics, didn't I? Ironically, I hadn't read much Sandman at the time.

==[[User:lithium|lithium]]==

Coz I like the sound of it. And coz it goes crazy when you put it in water. And not because of the Nirvana song.

==[[User:cammy|cammy]]==

I was using it as a web handle long before I joined Redbrick. It comes from the name of one of my first roleplaying characters that wasn't just a bunch of stats. The name for that roleplaying character though, came from the computer game Streetfighter 2.

Well actually cammy was my second choice. I would have liked to use The_Dead_One but that exceeds the 8 character limit.

==[[User:moridin|moridin]]==

The most evil and therefore cool character in a series of books that I was reading. Said series of books has since degenerated into a mush of crap writing. Boo.

==[[User:macbain|macbain]]==
He wanted the username 'mcbain' but Karlos (mcbain) got it before him. Being original, Sarv decided that macbain would do instead, so he could forever confuse new users between himself and Karl.

==[[User:montoya|montoya]]==

The name is that of a character from the book "The Princess Bride" by William Goldman. The specific character is Inigo Montoya, a Spanish swordsman out for revenge against a 6-fingered man who killed Inigo's father.
