Web Existential Crisis

I really adored the layout the Amber made for me, so thank you a million times over to her for her gift to this site, I appreciate it more than you know. However, Empty Cage was looking too dark for me, and so, I cheated this time around and downloaded one. This was actually the [...]

Just get it done

Someone needs to kick me hard in the shins about fifty thousand times and remind me to start finishing things before I start new ones. After they kick me around the block for a few minutes they should let me nurse my wounds and do stuff. You see, when it comes to making websites I [...]

My To-Do List

Just a quick one so I can wrap my head around this I need to do both online and offline:

Get my hands on a guitar tuner — they’re only like $10 so procrastinating is not really worth it
Call, or get mum to call the guy about my summer job
Revamps on the following websites in the [...]

The Bug.

I meant to comment that I have fixed the problem since my last entry but got caught up in other things. So, the problem ended. Basically what happened was the the “kernel” or version of my Fedora upgraded but not my video card drivers. To fix the problem (until updated drivers were avalaible — which [...]

Not surprisingly as soon as I start getting settled in Fedora I get a big huge ka-boom moment where I thank the lord that I have two internal hard drives and on of them has good old slow, but pretty effective Windows Vista on it while I figure out how to make Fedora obey again. [...]

Fonts, fonts, fonts, fonts… fonts.

Okay, so, the latest leg of my Linux adventures is finding a way to install normal, downloaded free true type fonts on my lovely little Fedora machine in order to get webdesign without using the same six default-tastic fonts. My luck has been grim to say the very least. It’s just one more of those [...]

Woohoo!

Finished one of the websites I promised to make other people today! It only took me several months to get around to what with my huge creative block (I think it might be starting to dislodge) I give you http://aenp-upsa.artsuottawa.ca
Actually, I like how grungey and modernish it is. A step in a different direction from [...]

To revamp

I am looking at my whole webdesign career with a critical gaze right now. The few websites I maintain for other people, my own largely unfinished projects and sort of the whole thing, trying to decide what to do with everything. You know, I look at Empty Cage and feel like it isn’t what I [...]

Note Taking

It’s a new semester, and I’ve decided my three semester goals are going to be to eat healthy, go for a walk every day and have both a hard copy and a digital copy of all of my school notes.
For me, the tactile act of actually writing my notes out makes me way more likely [...]

Kill the Fanlistings!

I mentioned to Amber that this blog was coming, and let’s face it, it’s long overdue.
An internet craze which seems to have yet to die, despite being around for several years is the Fanlistings, and their insane (but charming) sibling the Anime Fanlistings. (And all of their bastard children, like the Hatelistings, Physical Fanlistings, Taboolistings, [...]
