It happens.

Well, I finally got down to it, and the Cornstalker website was released thirty minutes before it was officially supposed to. Everything’s gone off without a hitch, save for two bugs that were discovered after the launch – looks like there’s some CSS positioning troubles in Safari and maybe a preloading script issue (even though there is a preloading script in place, it’s not working properly, because there’s been a suggestion to put one IN). The blog is working fine, so I can finally put that Cornstalker project to rest and move on to new ones.
Website design related, my next big site will be my own portfolio site. Each Team Mayhem member has their own subdomain for a portfolio-Primo already has his, and that’s working out just fine. I’m the next one due, as i need something to put my own personal shit on. It’ll act as my own mini hub connecting all of my accounts all over the place (deviantArt, this LJ, twitter, etc.) as well as to post my site design, and finally, a list of webcomics cameos i’ve had. I’ve been meaning to post all this time. All my cameos from the first Darken cameo to the Reckless Youth one (I’ve been fond of that one, i dunno why) to my Legostar Galactica appearance (as a 70′s lego, which again, was pure awesome).
Roofing on my house starts tomorrow. Before I go to bed tonight, I’ll be moving my computer out of my room and into my living room ,as my part of the house… well, won’t have a roof at all, by the looks of it. My part of the house was added on later on, and as such, has no insulation… and a thin roof. This part of the roof will probably be torn off, and I’ll be out of a room and perhaps a computer for a while, unless i plug it in my living room, which actually sounds like a good idea to me.
As for the blog title… well, it just came to me off the top of my head. Don’t mind me.
Updated, at last…
Sep 29th
So I haven’t really posted on here. I can’t really explain why, as i’ve probably had plenty of times the last couple of weeks to do so, but i didn’t. Perhaps it was just my state of mind, being worried about one thing or another, but now, my schedule has cleaned up- i had a rash of tests the past week, and a couple more coming up this week that for once, i feel prepared for. New things have happened, actually…
My friend Primo and I (along with two other friends) went on a photography excursion into downtown LA. We traveled out into the area of Fairfax/Hollywood, checking out the graffitti in the area. Most of it was done by the extremely talented CBS crew (google image the words “CBS Graffiti” to check out their work.), and it just had me thinking. Talking to Primo about it, there was an appreciation for this type of art in the neighborhood, something i had originally considered to be a nuisance. Now, I just sat in awe at some of this work, some of it so wonderfully blended, a mix of colors that made a blank wall just… so amazing.
But anyways, back on subject. We were walking down an alley to find a photoshoot. Primo, being the usual loudmouth, started talking to the people on the photoshoot. “What are you guys shooting for?” He asked, pushing his chest out to show that damn camera that he won’t let me touch (too expensive).
“deviantArt, an art website.” One of the people near some boxes said. I basically froze, and Primo grinned. We both have dA accounts (Primo’s and my own). We started talking freely to some of the people there, admitting that we both had accounts. One of the ladies there introduced herself as Heidi, and asked for our accounts. We both wrote it down for her, and gave it to her. Day later, we both are now subscribed to deviantArt’s pro accounts for four months. Pushed me enough to get new crap on my page. It’s sweet. Thanks again, dA people!
On some other fronts, I’m finally shopping for a video camera of my own. I’ve always had to borrow a camera of my own, and it proved to be a bother for a while. Finally, I decided a while ago I’ll probably be getting one of my own, at least a very good one with 24p support. Doing my research, I think i might even just go completely HD on that side, go 1080p. Any further than that, and I’ll probably won’t be able to edit anything (2k/4k range is probably not even possible with a pro-sumer camera). So, probably a Canon HD camera. Going to do more research on that.
Websites… I’m going to make a somewhat intersesting announcements on my future website plans. Not just yet, as i have to get some of the sites fixed up soon. I’ll make the announcements once the time comes for them.
Birth!

surpriseee by ~palm-art on deviantART
I took this picture a while back, not mentioning what it was about or anything. It’s of my best friend’s brother, Andrew. Their entire family is like a surrogate family to mine- i hang out at his house and everything. I even have a key to their house. But anyways, the big announcement- Andrew, and my best friend, Primo, are now uncles. Their half brother, David, now has a daughter. That picture was taken at the immediate moment Andrew heard about the pregnancy. Baby and mom are doing fine, and Primo’s father is overjoyed at the fact I can now call him an old fart.
I’ll be posting more soon.

Cornstalker site- 5 pages
Woo five pages of code. It’s revamped old code with a good twist that’ll make this site look fucking awesome. I have so much planned, it’s going to rock. Hard.
Shoulda done other work, though.
Writing Galore #3
Aug 8th
Okay, so i missed… a day. I had work come up, and i was stuck there all alone fixing macs. As usual. But i actually did get some work done today!
Desperate Keenwives: 3 pages
Writer’s Block: 4 pages
The Radio Show: 1 Page
I guess i’ve been working on Desperate Keenwives rather heavily- it was a project i abandoned long ago, and eventually just realized i want to finish it and get it out of my head before it annoys me too much. Two new chapters have been published online, with more to come.
Writing Galore #2

And i keep truckin, truckin, truckin…

Okay, at the end of the day, i’ve written so far:
Zombie: Episode #1: Three pages

Seven in all. I’ll aim for ten next time, i guess. and maybe, some damn reviews.

Writing Galore
Aug 5th
Okay, so i’ve been incredibly lazy with writing. I blame it on a writer’s block most of the time (and perhaps that’s true, who knows) but I’m going to push myself to start writing more often. A lot more often, actually. Here’s the plan – the next two weeks, I’m going to start writing at least 7 to 10 pages of day. it doesn’t matter which project it is or what piece of code it is, but in the end, its going to be at least 7 to 10 pages. I’ll be keeping track of what it I’ve accomplished here on my lj- in hopes that i can get some fucking insane amount of work completed. Check back tonight to see what i’ve accomplished so far.
finals.

While everyone else is done, i’m still doing them.
wish me luck. Damn acting class.
back from hawaii
Apr 24th
Well, i took a vacation and didn’t tell anyone two or three days beforehand. yes, i am back from the wonderful trip in Hawaii, where i spent 7 days with family. It was fun, admittingly so, and just gave me an itching to get back home to work on projects. (I had ideas for scripts while floating in the pacific… mmm).
Here’s one of the many pictures:
that’s at a hindu monstary on the island of Kauai’i. I want to get all of my pictures up, but i think i’ll try to move most of my pictures to a flickr account. I’ve been using a yahoo account to play with its Yahoo Pipes program, so i guess i’ll pop the pictures up there soon enough.
oh, and i got this in hawaii.
OH YES. K-Dawg‘s told me to go and get Pokemon, which i might will… funny, i think i still have my original copy of the game somewhere around here…
