A couple additions

Thursday, July 17th, 2008

I’ve added some things to the Writing page including a piece of micro-fiction I wrote last year called “Now Back to the Action.” I’ll be adding more writing over the next few weeks, not to mention continuing to blog, post tutorials, clean up the site, etc. For the next four days I’m headed to Syracuse, [...]

cDebris Tutorial 001 – Making a Cool Website Background

Wednesday, July 16th, 2008

Welcome to the first in what will hopefully be a series of simple little web design tutorials. I’m going to try to keep things short, easy, and straightforward and not get bogged down in too much complexity. To aid people in further investigation, I’ll end the document with a list of relevant links that should [...]

Improvements All Around!

Tuesday, July 15th, 2008

Let’s see … rolled out a bunch of stuff on the site in the past 24 hours. Here’s the list: New CSS – As you may notice, the site is a lot less ugly than it was a day ago. :) WordPress 2.6 – I upgraded my WordPress install, which gives me a bunch of [...]

The Most Shameful of Secrets

Monday, July 14th, 2008

I have a painful admission to make. I’m addicated to a … a … golf game! I feel so white, and rich, and old. But it should be noted that I’m not addicted to PLAYING golf. No, I’m far too uncoordinated for that — I have a hard time walking around the house without bumping [...]

More temporary ugliness

Wednesday, July 9th, 2008

The innards of the site are going to be real ugly for the next 24-48 hours. I apologize … but I’ve decided that rather than working around the existing styles from the “blank” stylesheet I started with, I’m just going to nuke them and start fresh. I don’t know who’s visiting this site, but thanks [...]

Temporary Ugliness

Tuesday, July 8th, 2008

Site’s going to look REAL ugly as I plug in some aspects of the design I’ve been working on … if you’re seeing a particularly ugly page at the moment, I apologize. It should be temporary. I recommend waiting about an hour and then whaling on the refresh button. Update: Site’s looking better now. I’ll [...]

Professor Layton And The Curiously Good Game

Tuesday, July 8th, 2008

I recently wrapped up playing Professor Layton and the Curious Village on my Nintendo DS. It’s an interesting title … probably won’t appeal to everyone, since not everyone digs brain teasers, but the highlight of the game for me wasn’t so much the collection of puzzles as the overall design vision behind the game. It’s [...]

The return of cDebris

Friday, July 4th, 2008

Hello all (… six of you who visit with any regularity). I’ve decided that instead of running a custom website using a bunch of sketchy php code I wrote back in the day, I’d move to an existing blog format and see if I can customize it into something I’m happy with. Obviously the current [...]
