More new discoveries
So something seems to be up with my old jump drive (flash drive, pen drive, whateveryouwanttocallit). I’ve had this thing for years, dating back to when 512MB was HUGE and it cost me $60 to buy it (thankfully expensed to the old employer). So, jump drive not working in Win7 for some reason, even though […]

So as I’m adding older posts back in and trying to create new content (*laugh*), I’ve realized that the category/tag system is defeating me. Right now I have a mix of each kind depending on when I created an entry. I’m thinking more that I should use broader categories (Art, Design, Gaming) and then use […]

Once again, I’ve decided that changing the purpose of my website here is the thing to do, so that’s what I’ve done. I ended up not liking the whole portfolio on the main URL and blog updates on a sub-domain URL. I ended up not updating either site then and that bothered me as well. […]

That about sums it all up. I had what I feel was a good interview yesterday for a PM position, but I’ve felt that way about all the interviews I’ve had so far. I’m planning to be more aggressive with my follow-ups and my determination, because this would be a good fit for my current […]

So, I’m an online gamer, but particularly since I was laid off in October 2009, I’ve started playing social games such as Farmville much more often. Partly because it’s really easy to slip in some time on the farm in between filling out internet job applications. Partly because even though they are called “social” games, […]

I added the screenshots and information about the vBulletin 4.x forum skin customization I did for Matt James over at Loremaster.org. I think the skin turned out great and it was just what he wanted. I’m glad I’ve gotten into the habit of taking full page screen grabs after completing a project so I can […]
