Ahh, technology.

This website will soon have a MAJOR facelift, no more of this shottiness... it'll be much, much better. Why?

FTP Space! Yes folks, i now have a small chunk of FTP space to upload crap to, so i can have as many pages as i want, and as much content as i want. Mostly it will be just posts for now... but eventually, i'll have sections for stepmania files, artwork, random tutorials, etc etc. Those sections and various others will go up as i gather enough content for them.

Now, granted, this is not the big shift i'm waiting on. The big shift will be when i get my full FTP hosting, along with my domain name (Birthday, anyone?). Once that goes up (www.s1dc.com, .net, and .org will all direct to my page, so long as they aren't taken by july) then we'll see some hardcore changes to the LFTS system. One of the major additions will be the start of Fuzzy Logic Productions website, which will contain a slew of flash animations and movies created by our small team of idio- er, artists and writers.

On a smaller note, i have successfully organized my desktop. For how long? who knows. But i have also added some cool functionality to my windows. I dragged my start bar to the left hand side (idea from scot, who noted that you can fit ALOT more windows in it that way) and added some menus that i can quickly drop down and use to access various parts of my comp without ever going to my desktop or clicking a folder. I've got quick access to my desktop, My Computer, Control Panel, and my netradio folder all to the left of whatever window i have open. I want to change radio stations? Just click net radio and pick one. I want to open my docs? Just click My Computer and select it. Want to run photoshop? Just click the Desktop menu and there it is. The only time i have to close windows is when i want to see my sexy desktop, heh.


So, this is what you need to remember:

Keep an eye on this site!
I have a cool, albiet slow, computer (Erm, rented computer... enjoy the xbox, Kyle)


See you next time.


oh, and i got a full-combo on Sexy Planet and Mobo-Moga today. woo.

new flash bar at the top. For kicks, i threw in my voice. If you watch it long enough there is some other stuff that shows up, too. Its a WIP... so.. keep an eye on it.

For those who would find this interesting, there is a debug element present in the above animation. Think about it a while, observe the animation, rewind it a few times, and once you think you have it, highlight the following text and see what it is:

----- start here

There is a white bar accross the top of the animation that eventually disappears when the anim is over, and doesn't come back unless you rewind and play the anim again. I stuck that there to check some of my looping parameters.

----- end here

according to this test i took:



Joseph, your true talent is Design and the Arts

Do you think your creative energy is better spent on hobbies than on a career? Think again. Your open-minded approach to life and willingness to experiment can be assets in any number of fields. With your personality, it's a given that you will eagerly throw your heart in soul into your endeavors since you tend to trust emotion more than reason.

For you, expressing your feelings and beliefs through your work is the hallmark of success. Plus, as a lover of the arts, you appreciate beauty and understand that there are things more important than the bottom line. And since there's no better way to get to the top than by following your heart and doing what you love, you're sure to make your way there.



and another test:

You are most willing to risk:
Getting Bumps and Bruises

No pain, no gain! For a sporty soul like you, a few scrapes and scratches are a small price to pay for the thrill of victory and the rush of adrenaline through your veins.

You're an explorer who enjoys getting out and pushing yourself to the limit. If it'll get your heart pumping, we'd guess that you've done it already, or at least are game to try it. From cliff diving to river rafting to mountain biking, why not give it a whirl? After all, the view's better from the top. And you'll have plenty of fun getting there whether you're hiking, climbing, or 4-wheel driving to your next adventure. So keep exploring, just try not to push it too far. You're not indestructible, but we don't have to tell you that.


and yet another:

Your emoticon is:
Brainiac

Hey, smarty pants. A curious and inquisitive character like you gets the message in more ways than one. While some people may use IM to pass along gossip or simply kill time, you probably like to use that brainpower for more thoughtful discussions on topics like politics, the latest news headlines, or even as a great way to laugh at yourself when you've missed the obvious.

For you, IM most likely serves a useful purpose. Whether you're talking to a friend overseas, asking a co-worker about a project, or solving the problems of the world, you're using that mental muscle of yours. But don't think you can't make fun of yourself, too. You like serious topics, but you're not one to take yourself too seriously. So keep it up, brainiac! That's a smart way to be!
