The 'Quick-Status' box is fitted. I've kind of lost my direction on what I was going to do with it though. Was sorta going to be a thing like "Site: Active" or "Site: Coma", but I'm not sure if that's the best route. I'll think of something I'm sure.

Interestingly, with the success of the gallery, I've now lost some drive to work on this site without such a clear goal. But I'm tougher than that; I cleaned up the About page, so there's that. Still working on my next big art piece, very on and off with it.
For January I'll be rolling over this page for the next six months; though if I keep updating at this pace it would ideally be earlier.

Gallery system works; remember you can check it on the Art page, I've been doing all my testing there. Now I just have to get it all formatted correctly/nicely (Firefox especially seems to like to mess me up), but that stuff should be easy. Should. Just CSS. Yep.December 25th 2012 - Stopdoor
Finally, this gallery system is nearing completion... it depresses me though that making something as simple as this takes me so much time, and it's just a not-that-interesting functional sort of thing that no one will really see.But eh, I can't just do nothing. Merry Christmas invisible audience!

Aha! I finally accomplished the task I explained last update! That's like, a third of the work! Yeah (sort of)!December 20th 2012 - Stopdoor
The Goal: Working image gallery before the New Year. This will be difficult... progress is slow, but you need goals to keep yourself working efficiently.To break it down into even more step by steps, I'm trying right now just to create a JavaScript loop that will add sequential IDs (ie. Pic1, Pic2, Pic3, etc.) to each div (a container) that holds a piece of art/text. If that sounds complex to you; unfortunately it's a drop in the pond considering the complexity of coding.

Well, breaking my promise of updates; it's nearing a month since the last, heh, not good... I have final exams now though, so that's my justification.Honestly though, I'm losing confidence in my abilities; hitting continuous walls with the gallery stuff, not sure if I should persevere or work on something else...

Well, it's not exactly a fully changed something, but you can see my work in progress for making image gallery code on the Art Page, right below all my normal Art sections at the top of the page. It's a half update!*I reserve the right to change or make the gallery look entirely different than any of those ideas at any time, don't get too attached

I have increasing resolve to do things to this website! It's less a "do I want to" into more of a "I really need to". Next 'update' will definitely be something changed.November 6th 2012 - Stopdoor
Been playing more video games than doing productive things; some slow art though. My brain switches between what it thinks is priority; sometimes games are priority! I need to play them all!October 25th 2012 - Stopdoor
I'm a still a person, hi. I may have nothing to put but I find acknowledging I'm still here is worthwhile to people who actually check websites.October 11th 2012 - Stopdoor
Partly schoolwork busy, partly lazy to update. I randomly drew up a thing in MS Paint the other day; though, then I threw big white lines all over it, so I'm not sure if I should bother posting it. Whatever.September 30th 2012 - Stopdoor
Been busier; should probably work on not making stuff look half-done. I'm wondering if the new background is too large a file; takes a long time to download on worse internet connections. I may look into ways to make it more efficient.
But anyway, I'm alive, but back to work!

Heyo! As you can see, I've updated the art style a bit in places. I'll be finishing it up soon. I'd say it mostly looks better; though the other style had charm. I'm thinking it would be pretty great if there was a way to pick the skin design of the site customly; though, that would pretty much be impossible for me to implement. Oh well.
Work in Progress is the name of the game now!
P.S. The background is most definitely Work in Progress right now. I like putting things up half-done!

And suddenly, things. I fixed the game pages, just by removing one line! Truly, I am a genius.
You can see weird things and changes like the box up top and the To-Do header being fancy. Out of laziness, I test altercations to my website live. The box is is the 'quick status' thing plan. The To-Do header is a bit too fancy I think for being in that spot there; it's mostly too fancy for the rest of the site. Of course, that could be remedied by making other stuff fancier too. Which has been a plan; though there is some appeal to the current simplistic style.
Unfortunately, only one person has e-mailed me. I have doubts over any more. But whatever, I'll steam ahead with whatever strikes my fancy.

The previous update still stands (probably, though it's not been too lucrative), but I'm just updating to fight off deadness. I'm in university classes now officially, so time is weird now; I still have motivation for this site, but it takes effort. My only real plan soon is to add a sort of 'quick status' box, that tells people this site is intentionally not updated often and what's up. It's sort of a feature I think most sites should have, something that explicitly says "yes I'm still updating this site and this is what it's about". Yeah. We'll see if I get on that.
Essentially a mini, more efficient version of the about page. Which, now that I look at it, really only does half of a good job of explaining things nicely. I'll have to put re-doing that on my to-do list too.

While I realize no one reads this site half in part due to its comatose state, low advertization (I am making that a word for now), and low content updates, I have recently cracked open some files I made in 8th grade.
They were a collection of short chapters for a zany book I was totally going to write. Eventually as I wrote them I lost the tone and mood and idea and just left it to die for years... but reading them now, while bits of 14 year old shine through, there is some genuine interest about them. I quickly wrote a another chapter for fun, and had a decently enjoyable time just channelling the general random spirit.
I think it could be a solution for the content problem this site has; no one will visit this site if there's nothing new to see. These writings are fun and silly enough to make in a short time, and could be interesting enough to check back for.
But before I add any of these, I need to ask the unfortunate question. Is anyone at all even reading this? Any of my supposed friends? I've referred people, it's not that hard to check a website every so often you know. So before I do anything, I'm making the challenge. You have to contact me through anything on my contact info (preferably, something I check often like e-mail) on the About page.
There should be at least one person... I'm giving you all a month, invisible readers...

There, got something done! Details on the signature page!
Don't expect much more substance this year really (you can expect filler); I've got stuff planned, and one thing dated for 2013 for sure, but who knows how busy I am. I will be shedding jobs in September, but then I'll be doing university; and I have no idea how time management will be there. I need to fix stuff on this site too, like the games; but darnit that means I need to remember how I coded stuff (remember kids, follow your recommended HTML/CSS conventions!)!
This site is paid for another year starting September 6th though, so don't expect me to disappear!

Goodness, missed all of July. I had planned to make an update but then was slowed by folder moving shenanigans.
I should have my final/latest banner done before the end of this month. For sure. Totally. For sure. I'm super busy with two jobs and university start preparation, but I can do it. I cannnn do it.

Under the "Other Computer Art" section; not quite my favourite collection of stuff, but it's not horrid and I need to put up more stuff.
I've rolled back the updates; new blank news page! Surprising how much it gets used considering how little I seem to add to the site.
