Welcome
Welcome to Placid's humble abode. This is my digital home, host to my code, blog and several domains that offer unique content to the web community.
This site is built & maintained as a hobby, and also as a frontend to my Linux server that I run to learn Debian administration. If you're looking for anything related to Lake Placid, you're in the wrong place.

New Section - Photography, Thursday 17 Apr, 2008
Introducing the Photography section of beplacid.net. I'm busy altering the image descriptions (as they're initially created by a python script) and names to ensure they're making sense. If you notice any bugs, please contact me.
Style Update, Sunday 9 Mar, 2008
I was never quite happy with the navigation bar being vertically aligned. After much pondering and hacking about, I finally got a working version of a horizontal navigation bar. Much more pleasing on the eye, and gives me a lot more flexibility with the content area. Also added a feedback section (click the random slogan 'arrow' button, and you'll see).
Learning jQuery with AJAJ, Saturday 8 Mar, 2008
I implemented a quick and easy slogan switching function. You'll see the arrow next to the slogan at the top of each page. Clicking it randomly selects another slogan using jQuery & JSON. Lovely stuff :)
New Quote Section, Friday 1 Feb, 2008
It's frustrating when you find a quote and have nowhere central to put it so you can share it with others. With that in mind, I added a quotes section to the site. It's basic at the moment, but I'll add more as I think of new features. Enjoy!
Yet Another Update, Sunday 13 Jan, 2008
I added some feeds, namely code and news, not that anyone will read them. Just learning Django, and this aspect was very easy to do. Also fixed some XHTML validation errors on a few pages.
