Yes. You will notice some things are slowly changing. I can't say too much right now - but there's no need to tell a whole big story. The basics: it's too hard for me too keep up with 2 sites at once. So I'm combining my business site with this one - that way I can handle everything from one spot. Not ALL posts here are moving. There are a few that just aren't really necessary, so I'm cutting them out of the move. Don't worry - this site will still be up for some time to come (I want to be sure all of my 301 redirects are taking properly) - ...

Hello everyone! Just a quickie update: the images have finally returned. I finally found the backup on my old computer, and they have returned in all of their former glory. (As a side note...man I need to update some of this stuff!) I also found some of the missing :examples" - but I'm not sure I got them all, So if you happen to go through and click on something (like a download, see a missing image, or a link that's supposed to how you a working example) please send me an email and let me know what post it was on so I can try and fix it. Now, I'm gonna give you something good. Are you ready? You'll love this.

I realize that the site here has been stagnant for way too long. Fear not, dear people - and those of you who have actually cared enough to give me a kick in the butt to get moving, you have no idea how much I appreciate you for being so patient. So, you'll notice that right now, there's a couple of changes. The blog here has been inundated with tons of spam comments - it drives me insane. So I've dis-enabled commenting for now (unless you're a registered user) - if you want to leave a comment, you'll have to "subscribe" to the site *and* I have to approve every comment that comes through before it's displayed. ...

I know this might seem silly to you all, but I just found out that Randy Pausch died this morning. I found out about Mr. Pausch when my daughter asked me back in October of 2007 to download the "Alice" program for her, so she could learn how to program her own little movies. I was all excited that she was taking an interest in programming, so I went to the Alice Project website to do so. While I was there, I saw mention of Mr. Pausch, and something called "the Last Lecture". (I will post the link here - which is on Randy's page at Carnegie-Mellon University - but the server goes down ...

My categories are way messed up - so I'm going to have to go through all of my old posts and re-categorize everything - blegh. I'm super-busy with clients (OMG - I had someone contact me on Second Life last night - I was shocked!), so - and I apologize to you all for saying this, but it's true - this site isn't top priority. But the search function still works - so if you're looking for something, give it a go - you'll find it. I also had to stop my experiments with spammers - meaning leaving uncoded email addresses on the site. Not for any other reason than the fact that I haven't had the time ...

The Orange Crush downloads are back, as well as my contact form script. Still working out some bugs like missing images and stuff - but it's all there. That is all :)

Halle-freakin'-lujah. Okay, I know the theme is still your default "Kubrick", and my categories are gone (due to a REALLY stupid mistake on my part), but it's back. Posts, comments - it's all good. But hey, it's Saturday, and I have stuff to plant. So I'm taking a break for a bit.

So yeah, I found a few issues with the new theme design. Most notably is my idiotic mistake of forgetting to pull my stylesheets to run my example code and putting it into this theme. Whoops. So now I look like a dork, because all of my examples don't function. I swear, people - they do. I just forgot to bring in the stylesheets that make them work when I put up this new theme. I'll be doing that in a little bit so everything functions again! In other news, a "bug" has bitten me. Over the last year (since i've released the "orange Crush" theme) I've had some serious fun customizing WordPress and creating unique designs for all kinds of clients. I'm also working on my business site's new design (man, I hope to get that up soon!) but I've learned all kinds of cool tricks and neat things that make me want to do a new theme to release.

Well, I had a recent upgrade of my Orange Crush theme, and a recent upgrade of my PHP forms - and it's been asked by quite a few people that I change my theme - so here it is! I'm still ironing out a few kinks here and there - apparently "the excerpt reloaded" plugin doesn't work well with WordPress 2.2.3 (I upgraded my WP installation as well), and my contact form is a bit screwy at the moment. It still works - it just looks really gross. Those are really the only two major things I've found that are totally whacked. Oh yes, and I still need to browser-check it - right now it's only been checked ...
