Server Issues / August Wallpaper

So, it appears my host is still having issues with the ISP. I am leaving for vacation tomorrow so I figured I’d upload my August Calendar to both Flickr and DeviantART. Hopefully this server mess is figured out when I return. So enjoy the new calendar (in 1920×1200 resolution) and I’ll be sure to upload the other resolutions upon my return. Thanks guys & gals!

What was up with the site?

Sorry for the extended up/down time the last few days. Apparently there was a line cut in AZ (where I host the servers) and it was causing a huge headache out there. Seems to be back to normal now /crosses fingers.

Ribfest

My girlfriend and I just hosted a Ribfest this weekend with some friends. I WON!!! Yea, crazy huh? I uploaded a Flickr Photo Set from the party as well as a design for the scorecards I made for the contest.

downtime

There will be some expected downtime this weekend for my site, phirebursh, naature and endeffect. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Edit: Ok, site’s are back up and running again. If you notice anything funky, just let me know!

Don’t mind the dust.

I’ve been busy working on a redesign of my site but it’s taking a bit longer than I had anticipated. I started out with a design, loved it. Now I’m unsure, but am tweaking it as I go. You know how these things go.  So in the mean time, I have decided to go back to my current design (yes, I know it’s an oldy) and update it a bit. Fix some coding, make some updates and upload some newer works I have neglected to add to the site. I’m just wanting to get this site up-to-date so I can start sending my resume out, even while I continue work on my redesign.

I’m going to try and keep an updated list on the changes I make this week. So, don’t mind the dust . . .

Update 10: Added a 2010 section of Web Design, showcasing a concept design for DivaFit and some WAR Realm War redesigns that are going live this summer (I hope!).

Update 9: Added my iPhone wallpaper packs (previously only available from my blog) and a never released untitled self portrait piece to the 2009 section of Digital Art. Check em out.

Update 8: Added some new items to Misc Design 2008 & 2009 (patcher designs for Warhammer Online and Dark Age of Camelot).

Update 7: Added a 2009 listing for Web Design. Debating adding a 2010 listing, even if the designs aren’t finalized. We’ll see . . .

Update 6: Updated the Web Design 2008 with projects, including a never before seen EA Mythic redesign concept that was never used.

Update 5: Setup Lazy Load via jQuery so pages with a lot of images (older photography, etc) only load images “above the fold” and load images as you scroll. Scratch that, it was causing some problems with other scripts I was using. Will have to go back and figure out a solution.

Update 4: The photography section of my site has really suffered as I have been uploading all my photographs primarily to Flickr. I have added a new year to the photography entitled “newer” which links to some of my favorite sets on Flickr.

Update 3: Converted all my “corporate design” to “misc design”. I had always thought “corporate design” sounded silly.  Also condensed all categories. Anything 2005 and older are now under the “older” tab.

Update 2: Made a post on my main site with a link back to this post. Also decided to remove any news older than April of 2009 (yes, it went back to 2008!)

Update 1: Updated the Gallery navigation. Tweaked it with some new PHP code (thanks Brad!) and reorganized the structure. Example: Desktop Wallpapers are now up top as the first entry. I’ll be going through and moving anything from 2005 and older to the “older” tab.

Printed?

Tempted to make some printed calendars. Maybe a July-December, like 20×30in. Then an entire 2011 poster. Thoughts?
