Upgrading this blog again

Web development is the skill that irritates me the most. It has improved over the years. The tools available today are far superior. But, I only glimpse at better web design skills. I often times struggle to understand why some websites look the way they do. Even with full access to their source code, replicating them isn’t always evident. There are HTML & CSS tricks I refuse to practice in the aim of simplifying what I imitate. That means some layouts don’t look exactly the same.

Visualizing a Bethe lattice

During my PhD I always wanted to have an interactive way of plotting a nice looking Bethe Lattice and particular to my work a Dimer Bethe lattice. Because this visualization wasn’t an essential part of my research I never investigated into it. It is enough to draw them on paper for any practical purpose. I was then confronted with my PhD oral presentation, great opportunity to procrastinate and get the nice unessential plots done. They didn’t end in the final version of the presentation(again is not the fundamental part of my work), but I wanted to share them anyway.

Website redo and blog migration

Today my website experienced a complete redo with a new design. The previous presentation was established to mimic my blogger site. That required a great amount of effort because I like simple things and to simplify the blogger theme was quite challenging, I not always get CSS do what I want. Also the web site could be seen in web browser but gave already problems in mobile phone browsers, and doing the translation of the blogger site version for mobiles was an unwanted challenge.
