Things I Hate About You [http://www.thingsihateaboutyou.com] was launched this morning, to very little fanfare.
I registered the domain name back in March, thinking of something completely different, but decided to make it a little more community driven and fun. That, and I wanted to see how long it would take. Part of my continuing experimentation with cute elements and jQuery, this adds a few effects, some stateless connections, and was also written completely with Catalyst. It took four days of an hour or two a night, with posts, votes, authentication, and RSS feeds.
Not bad.
I'll probably be adding things to this site slowly, to see how well it extends. It was kinda fun to create this without having to worry about eight years of legacy, like the rewrite of whatthefuck.com into Catalyst. This was just doing-it-as-I-want. I may use this as a test bed for a Facebook application as well.
It's still pretty broken in IE6, but it's low on my priority list. I may just redirect people to a browser download page. :P
