There are lots of little tweaks I'd like to do to IJY, however it's rapidly turning out that it would probably involve a fairly hefty re-write, and some things also seem to be set against me.
1) I'd like to change the Picasa and YouTube feeds to just show the picture, and when you hover-over them an info box appears with the text. This would give me back a lot of screen space. the problem is that I went down the "absolute positioning" way of doing things, and this doesn't play nicely with DHTML boxes...
2) I'd like to change the logic of the page over to use jQuery, however it looks like their documentation is out of work at the moment...I haven't been able to access it from any of my machines.
3) Yahoo Pipes do this funky little badge things, that accept an RSS stream and output image slide shows. I'd like to feed in an "all my pictures" feed from Picasa, however it looks like their feed for all photos from a user is broken, with the sort image coming out very strange. For me it starts with my Cornwall pictures taken a few years ago, and then randomly skips around. It's been acknowledged as an issue, but not fix has been developed as yet.
4) Bring the blog more onto the page, which would mean less sizing issues, and no need for such small text. This is mainly dependant on (1) though...
5) Integrate the Twitter feed into the header. I can probably do that without too much hassle
6) RSS caching. For this I need to split out the feed retrieval logic and change it to storage, and then point the current scripts at the stored versions. This would also mean letting rip with cron jobs. Again its all doable, but I need to sort out the layout issues first, before I start playing with that as well...
