site news and/or updates

verily it was decided that it was time for a makeover of the thinktank site.  this came down from on high because we went to some other web designers’ sites and realized most, if not all, our contemporaries tended to be a lot more conservative in their presentation on their own website.  now, this seems […]

it’s been a long time coming, i finally updated the blog design. i’ve done a couple custom wordpress themes for thinktank clients now, and it was about time i did one for myself. it’s not really anything new, although the banner is totally new. but the css was recoded by hand. the overall design is […]

i totally redesigned the portfolio page on the thinktank site.  it now looks super-hot and uses lightbox 2.0. check it out.

so i configured some (more) virtual hosts in apache and redid my custom error pages.  the error pages got reset after apache got updated recently, so i had to redo them.  you can see a 403 forbidden error here and a 404 not found error here. and i also set up the following subdomains: music.jazzsequence.com […]

i blogged yesterday about saul williams’ new album, but as trent says on nin.com, unlike radiohead, his is not a household name (yet).  saul williams is an amazing black performance poet.  he’s possibly best known for his anti-bush rant, “not in my name” or, alternately, he was in the independent film slam (or so wikipedia […]

at the bottom of my site you will see a new flash widget thing.  it’s a promo for the new Saul Williams album which was done with Trent Reznor and is supposedly the next chapter in the Year Zero saga.  or at least supplementary material.  Trent said a couple weeks ago on his blog that […]

i completely redid my gallery page on jazzsequence. rather than using a coppermine php gallery you login to, i made it more generic and homemade but probably more accessible and much easier to add pictures to (since i pretty much just dump them where i would normally and the gallery will see the new pictures […]

my first site with heritage is finally live. or at least approved and out of my hands. it was a really frustrating process and then i was waiting for 2 days for her to approve the site so it would go live, and lost my bonus as a result. i’m hoping every project is not […]

i’m not going to publish the link yet until the client officially approves the site, but my first website for heritage is done. i was able to do most of it over the weekend and on my half day friday, overall spending maybe 8-10 hours working on it total. i was happy to find out […]

so the way it works is that i create a photoshop document (psd) of the web site i’ve been assigned to based on the content given to me and a “design interview” (di) with the customer.  the psd is basically what the site will eventually look like when all the html and css coding is […]

with very little help from me, the upload issues i was having seem to have resolved themselves.  i blame comcast completely, but i don’t care so long as it works.  now you can go here and download my nin YZ remix without it being cut off.  also, the ampache page is using the latest development […]

so.  i went for, and was offered a freelance position for heritage web solutions.  they build custom web pages for people/organizations, have lots of work, were hiring, and are local.  i’m doing freelance because it will be an easier transition, one i can do while keeping my current job (at least for a while) and […]
