ccbuild version 2.0.0 released

After having some last minute problems with both the build system and the licensing, I finally released ccbuild 2.0.0. Bring on the issues! Reasons to expect issues to pop up are multi-threading support using OpenMP and using a single top-level o directory, instead of one per directory. Any command depending on the directory structure (like makefile).

New domain

I'm going to move hosting again, so it was time for a new domain name! Sourcelocation.net isn't the best in the book and it's currently hosted by my current hosting company, which I'm moving away from. So I decided a new name would help out. And the new name is... logfish.net
I'll be moving this blog from main.sourcelocation.net to log.logfish.net as soon as possible and after that, start working on closing the current hosting and moving to the new one... but all that will probably take a month or three.

HTML 5 is coming, start cleaning those tags.

I was an avid user of the tt tag for any inline code, but as HTML 5 is coming, I'll just have to settle with using kbd instead. A full list of elements you should start avoiding can be found at:

One of the more alarming things we will have to learn to live without is the style attribute. This forces you to move your style information to the CSS files and put everything on the page with either a class or an attribute. But I will have to admit that the style attribute is something that I only used in quick hacks, so no real biggy there.

But there is one, I must say weird, exception: the font tag is allowed to have a style attribute. And the font tag is only allowed in "when inserted by a WYSIWYG editor due to limitations in the state of the art in user interface for these editors.". Which I think is the weirdest exception ever, but there you go.

First post!

Yes... the first post is officially on the web. The whole site still looks like nothing, but I will get to that later. Probably.
