An entire month of icons!

So many days have passed since the 24th of last month, and even more icons have been converted: 16002 total – an average of 516 per day! And the garbage collector even works — no more SSHing in every few days to delete old files for me!

That’s a lot of icons per day IMO! A lot of icons in general.

So a while ago I was working on a flash card system. That’s how that business card viewer was accomplished so quickly.

“sniffing” after the past

People tend to over-react. I’m not sure why; they must derive some enjoyment from it.

And I could definitely see that being the result of this: web2.0collage.com.

If pleasure from paranoia is your thing, that’s cool we can still be friends. But you should probably skip the rest of this post because I will point out that it cannot see which websites you’ve visited, so much as detect whether you’ve visited a website. A small, but in my opinion, very important distinction. The two would be equivalent if it checked every possible URL.

A question or a comic

Ugh, Mel’s style is so hard! I don’t really get how to do it.

Also i think I know what has been wrong with my colouring lately and the answer might be laziness. So that is good and also bad! The best kind of hypothesis.

Studio sketchy update!

Oh, man. I ran out of time. So many interruptions today!

I wanted to spend more time on shading/expressions/backgrounds, but even more I wanted to get it up before 5pm. That is why it looks like a small child shaded it. Oh well!

Another summary? Again? Seriously?

So much random stuff today!

Tacotime wanted a script to redirect visitors to affiliate websites; I made one for him. He wanted it to keep track of how many times it sent people to each site, which meant an interface for managing affiliates – and is how a 30 minute project turns into a 2 hour one. And that extra 1.5 hours is so boring. Oh, well. It’s done now.

Link selection is weighted by past redirects, which results in the interesting side-effect of it being far more likely for new affiliates to be chosen than any other – at least until they catch up.

A spider is watching me from its prison of glass and i do not enjoy it

JT enjoys chainfactor.

I injured my wrist a while ago. I’m not completely sure how. At some indistinct point after that fall during ultimate, my back, wrist, and ankle began to hurt – but all on my left side. This is weird because I fell on my right side. That is where all the scrapes and bruises are. Sometimes I don’t understand mild injuries at all.

If you recall a few posts ago, I’d professed a desire to deviate from programming – at least temporarily. Karl suggested 3D. A good suggestion, but so many clicks to open 3D Studio Max. I called it off.
