So I’m not dead. I’m trying to decide what I want this site to be. I’m gonna do a redesign, and then I’m gonna do something with it. I’ve decided to not even support comments (design wise), I might throw in like Livefyre or something. I’ve seen them over on WoW Insider and really liked how easy it was. The comments also aren’t completely useless for mobile either.

Think I want to do a sort of a throwback to one of my earliest designs, but modernize it a bit, make it full on responsive maybe. We’ll see!

Been playing lots of wow, because Pandaland.

Gosh favicons are finicky. I just got done cleaning up and organizing my years-old collection of bookmarks and noticed that I didn’t really like my current website favicon so pulled out an old sprite someone “made” for me, modified from Mog’s sprite in FF6. I’ve sort of grown attached to it over the years and so it seems to fit perfectly as a favicon.

I found a really promising “sandbox” replacement for wordpress, I’ll be working on a project shortly utilizing it, I have high hopes for it, it will be nice to work with something that’s been updated to take into account WordPress’s newer features.

I’ve recently had some trouble with Blizzforums, or rather the entire server. It seems there are still some issues that need to be worked out, but in the mean time those who visit BF were either stuck with a download prompt, or now thanks to me a simple HTML page that let’s them know it’s down.

What I was trying to do was find a a simple shoutbox, chat, etc… type script — preferably a wordpress one — I could just drop in and let folks use temporarily until BF is fixed. But apparently that is impossible to do. I’ve decided I may as well go with a phpBB or something, it’s overkill but hell I can’t find anything else.

I can just never seem to post anything to this site, not sure why. I rather love the design and even have some new headers to upload into my expanding random pool. I guess I’m just not sure what to post about… though that’s not entirely correct either! There is stuff I’d love to discuss but for some reason I’ve got this idea in my head that if I know about whatever it is I want to talk about, than surely everyone else does! Crazy right?

This winter has been harsh, hasn’t it? The ice storm we got slammed with was the worst I can personally recall, we’ve always had cases of lots of snow here or there, but not being able to walk out the door (literally) was definitely a new experience. Can’t imagine what was going on in Sadie’s head, poor dog! She once came sliding back down an incline with this shocked look on her face!

While the climate here is dismal at times, it’s nothing we can’t overcome. Still really proud of my brother, kicking ass at IUPUI. Can’t wait to see my mom refresh her macrame skills and start creating some kickass plant hangers or wall hangings or jewelry or whatever it is you macrame. As for me? more consistent work here and there, some new projects on the way… it’s actually been a pretty good year so far.

I want to try to post some real content to my site, as well as Blizzforums. Feels like I’ve been posting less and less in general everywhere but truthfully I’m very opinionated and have lots to say dammit! Think I’ll try to make a couple posts here shortly about some random stuff I’ve been following in the news.

I’ve also been having some issues with spammy comments and trackbacks(pings) so I’ve disabled both for the time being. Not that I’m popular enough to get any actual visitors commenting legitimately, but still!
