Projects

Okay, I literally only have a second to write this. The next few months will be crazy.

First, I’m developing a multimedia project for Pacific University’s MFA master’s degree. It’s going to be a JQuery-driven audiovisual presentation consisting of slideshows alongside of literary readings. It will be a great project but nonetheless a difficult one.

I’m also into development of Every Husband’s Nightmare Bazaar, the jewelry/crafts/antiques show in Hillsboro, Oregon. This will be pretty much a fully featured informational site with a gallery and several “web application” functions for registering and other mechanisms like that.

I am also considering two background projects that may or may not go, depending on how heavy my school overhead is. I have a couple upper-division classes that could be a lot of work.

Yep. That’s about all for now. Don’t expect any decent blog posts in awhile. That’s okay, if you’re reading this then you probably know that this is kind of a slow, “every once ‘n awhile” type sites.

Until next time, amigos.

Finally finished Lori Scott’s new site. Check it out! LoriScottLandscape.com.

In other news, I just revamped my hobby site. Honestly it’s still a little messy here and there but for the most part I think it’s quite an improvement.

About time I got around to keeping up the site! I’ve finally fixed the crazy fluctuating font sizes, that was bothering me like none other for too long. We’re also rocking a new font. Except to see a handful of new portfolio entries, too!

Noope, haven’t forgotten about my blog! Just been busy lately, with a boatload of projects. Here’s what’s going on: first and foremost, I’m remodelling this 2001-esque website, which will have a sleek new design and much more content (and a fresh logo, to boot!). I’m also working on a microsite that would have been flash if we were a few years back. But nope, in today’s world, I get to jump headfirst into some hardcore JQuery. With my headstart on Javascript, I can’t wait to check out all of the simplifications and improvements that JQuery offers.

I am working on a Landscape Design website for a family member which is going to be powered by WordPress. Jeez, WordPress is sure valuable these days. There’s nothing it can’t do. Anyway, I’m excited about this one because it also involves generating a lot of vector art and even a new logo.

Finally, I am planning a tool called Carpooler that aims to provide a way to organize carpoolers for any group of people going on a trip. The theme will definitely be simple & easy.

As I make progress on these projects, I’ll probably post little snippets of how it’s going. That’s all for now, adios.

Just flashed Incredikernel on my Android phone. The first thing I notice about it is that the screen turn on/off is way faster. As in before, I’d pretty the button and it would take probably a half second to wake up. Now, it’s basically instantaneous. Awesome!

For my first real flash project that I coded entirely, I decided to attempt a flash “paint shop” that allows you to simply select a color and draw. Not too hard. Check it out.

The Bitmenu site has undergone that post-launch scramble to implement changes resulting from user feedback. We decided there were too many ‘attention-getters’ on the index, so that’s been simplified. There’s also a cool new navigation bar that shows up only for child pages.

There’s still a lot in the works. Oh, and I’m pretty busy with school right now, so this post also serves as my “well, sorry for no update in awhile” update.

Here’s a great article that talks a little about how a few particular publishers use Bitmenu to sell their digital content online. The article includes a screenshot of the Facebook app  – neat!

Just played around with making Zip files with PHP. Generated a plaintext XML file on the fly, added it to a Zip archive, and added a separate pre-existing file to a folder within the archive. Awesome!

With Spring break over, I am now sort of finding myself slammed with the good old pile of schoolwork again. And now my Tuesdays and Thursdays are really jammed, I’m not free until after dinner. I’m already thinking about classes for next year! That went super fast.

So what am I working on right now? Not much of anything at the moment, but towards the end of the week I’ll have more free time and I intend to continue post-launch tweaking for Bitmenu as well as working out more bugs in Crash ‘n Burn.
