Website is up!

http://nsquared.us is now live!

This site will be dedicated to showing our progress and state of mind as we continue our endeavor. Eventually we will add music and galleries as we build our product.

Having been out of web development for several years now, I'm finding that making a website is both easier and harder than it was half a decade ago.  It's easier because browser differences aren't quite as bad as they used to be, namely modern IE didn't give me much trouble like it has in the past. It's also easier because there are a million free and useful tools out there, as long as you know what to look for.  The ways that it's harder is that CSS is as strange as ever, and there are a way more ways to do things than there used to be.

The technology used to make the site is very simple. We're using blogger to host the blog, PHP with the Zend framework to read and display the blog.  The layout of the site is kick started with foundation. The art is by Annie. And the contact form is simple PHP tied to Akismet for spam prevention.

Overall the site took a bit more than a day to build, and was a quick and easy win. Small bites, small bites.
