[OT]Web site updated
Message #1 Posted by Olivier TREGER on 2 Jan 2009, 9:15 p.m.

Hi fellow HP fans,

Since it's been first released, my site has seen a look and content lifting: here is the new version. It's still under development but your opinion is welcome.

Thanks for your visit.

Bonjour Olivier,

quite impressive for a web site under construction. I like your general design concept, though some links (e.g. 33C, 41C) end in nirvana and some topics (e.g. slide rules) are not covered yet at all. Larger pictures or more text would be nice, else information level may be a bit low for many calcs. Your English is better than my French by far! Do you plan to have a bilingual site later?

Happy web sit(t)ing!

Walter

Hell Walter,

Thanks for stopping by.

As you say, text is missing and pictures will be improved. First of all, I'm relying on Dave's pictures without a formal permission (I asked for) but I need to save time to picture all of my calcs.

I moved to a smaller flat last summer and all the collection is stored in carton boxes...

About depper information, I need to bring more that personal stories but the level of information one can found on the internet is so much higher than the one I can provide that I hesitate to compare (fight?) with my fellow collectors unless I find something interesting to say.

When I read messages from Valentin, Etienne and others, I feel like a kid.

About multilingual, I plan to have at least French but there are so much more people interested in calculators that read/write English that I wonder whether it's really worth the effort: I sometimes try to talk to my relatives/friends/others about my passion and most of the time, they stare at me like I need psychological help...

Olivier,

my wife thinks like yours. :)

The framework (navigation, dates) is still in French. Pas de problem pour moi mais peut-être pour autres visiteurs. I nevertheless like the layout.

Fixed... I installed in French but switched to English for now.

Anyway, as I said previously, I plan to make it multilingual.

Thanks for pointing that.
