TBW V3.0 UPDATE

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

Just a quick update on the status of the site. As you can see, the switch from v2.0 to the new and improved v3.0 is currently underway. Most of the public areas are already up and running, but I’m still working on getting the profile portions updated. Consequently, the log in will be down for another couple of days, as will the Mark-up, Favorite, and Quick Critique features.

It’ll be worth the wait, I promise!

UPDATE: 3/10

Hey, so it’s taking longer than anticipated to get the new features up and running so I thought I’d add a quick update. The new features are in place, it’s just finding the time to test them that’s holding things up. I’m hoping to test everything this weekend, so once I’m satisfied that the system is working properly, I’ll let you know. Sorry for the delay!

TBW V3.0

Thursday, February 11th, 2010

Well I’m at it again with the redesigning here at Thebackwall. It’s only been 8 short months since the current design went live, and I’ve already had it up to here with the fake PS textures and the orange/blue color combo. TBW v2.0 was more of a back end redesign anyway, so look for v3.0 to really concentrate on updates to usability and functionality. We’re talking less loading times, better browser compatibility, and less Flash. In other words, much better.

V3.0 has been in the works over the last few weeks, so I’ll probably start switching things over in chunks sometime this weekend. I may have to take the site offline for a brief period of time, but it shouldn’t be for more than 24 hours.

More to come.

IMAGES OF UNKNOWN ORIGIN: REACTORS

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

A few epic illustrations/diagrams to check out if you’re looking to do some cut-away shots of a large space. I’m currently in the process of creating something similar for a project and thought these were pretty amazing in how detailed they are. I especially like the last one, which really gives you a feel of the enormity of the space and the intricacy of the systems operating within.

Just something a bit different to check out.
