Sunday, April 5th, 2009 -- Looks like it worked! I'm up and running on X7 Hosting now, and there were no problems with the switch. Here's hoping it stays that way.

Fun stuff, DVC 16 just started up, and I actually have an idea I like. Something I really like, it turns out, and I put it together within only four days of the theme announcement (though this time it's a prop requirement, not a theme). That's a personal record. Goes to show why I never get anything done for the usual ten day contests.

Watch this space, because in early May you might have something worthwhile to watch.


Tuesday, March 10th, 2009 -- Gasp and surprise, two updates in the same week? One day apart? Could you have imagined such a world? I did some more Googling and testing, and figured out how to get this page to work in all the browsers I have access to. It worked before in everything but IE6 (and if I fixed it there it would go screwy in Safari, Opera and Chrome), which my site stats tell me a lot of people are using, so I looked into it. After much consternation I'm happy to report that a completely valid, pure CSS approach made itself evident (had to get rid of an overflow : auto and accomplish my design with padding instead), and though I had to get rid of the border around the site content, it was probably stupid anyway, so no big deal.


Monday, March 9th, 2009 -- Took a few days longer than I'd planned, but the gallery is up! Hit the photography section to see what's up.

As usual, I spent hours over engineering the page, only to find this photo gallery sample, demonstrating just how stupid I can be. Using display : inline inside of a paragraph tag for the photo page made the whole thing work the way I wanted it to in every browser I've yet tried. Amazing how complicated you can make this stuff when you don't know what you're doing.


Wednesday, March 4th, 2009 -- Just over a month since the last bit of news; I'm getting better at this.

Just a quick layout update, I finally got around to figuring out CSS floats, and redesigned this place to work the way I'd always wanted it to. If everything goes according to plan, all this crap should resize along with your browser window. All you web designer types can keep screwing around with PHP, Javascript, AJAX, Ruby on Rails and whatever the hell else you're into these days, I'm content with my little victory.

The damn pages even validated when I ran them through the parsers over on W3.org! I'm not one to put those goofy stickers all over the site, it just made me happy to find out I'm apparently adhering to some sort of standard. I have priceless, invaluable content here, you know? Got to make sure it's accessible by as many people as possible, lest they be deprived of my genius.

Also working on a little photo gallery, give me a few days.


Tuesday, February 3rd, 2009 -- I'm Flicking now. Got a few pictures up, go take a look unless you want to hurt my delicate feelings.


Sunday, September 14th, 2008 -- Back in business! After some IP address confusion with the shared server my site's on, a few changed passwords I hadn't heard about, and a gripping, edge-of-your-seat FTP file permissions drama, this place is up and running as it's supposed to. That is to say, nothing's happened as far as any of you are concerned, and I have no interesting news. Except, of course, that the Youtube links on the Movies page were broken (reuploaded the videos, never updated this site) and have been replaced. This time, I've joined the twenty-first century and embedded them in the page (view them on Youtube if you want the high quality versions).

Anyway, the server issues--or "The Troubles", as I've taken to calling them--were quite trying, and I'm happy to report that the staff at CI Host/Hosting Support were nothing but help. Thanks to Ryan, John, Daniel, Alex, Josh, Chris, Ian, and Bill for spending so much time on all this.

Took an awful lot of work to get some dipstick's worthless homepage back online, and I can't imagine they get paid enough to put up with the likes of me all day.


Tuesday, June 10th, 2008 -- Ow. Had a garage sale this past weekend, got to sit outside in the sun all day. Wee! Really, it's good for my skin, to get burnt to a crisp every now and again. My face and arms still hurt. Skin cancer, here I come!

In less life threatening news, I've been playing Audiosurf since it was released on Steam, and have only just done something worth showing anyone. Check me out playing "Come On" by Andy Hunter.

This, it seems, is my life. Jealous?


Wednesday, March 12th, 2008 -- Listen up, you miserable bums! I'm on YouTube. Yeah, I spell it with the capital T. Deal with it. Now go check out my stupid movies.


Wednesday, August 8th, 2007 -- So there was a friggin' tornado in Brooklyn today. An EF 2, or some nonsense. Whatever, I just have some stuff to show off. Do your standard right click and save here, the files are pretty big ('specially that last video). Left 'em full quality so's you could get the full effect.

We noticed some heavy rain on the LIE on the way in. Harmless enough, and it looked pretty damned cool rainin' sideways.

Eventually, after reaching a dead stop, and heading back up the on ramp to the service road, we reached the root of the problem. I think the owner might need new upholstery.

Of course, some people had no trouble at all, and just rolled right on through.

You like that? It's like the links are right there, in the middle of the sentence! Obnoxious, I know, I'll stop now. There are more pictures and a bit more video, but nothing really worth uploading. There was also a video of the ride in, with all sorts of rain and oddly silent lightning, but at five and a half minutes and over seventy megabytes, I don't think anyone'd be interested. Let me know if you really want it, I can always stick it up for a while.
