I feel a bit like Microsoft. To get my redesign done and up I ended up tossing out quite a few goodies I was working on. I figured the major "look and feel" was the single most important thing. And since I'm going back to work this week, I had to get something up or it would languish for a while.
newsWell, I've finished up with a "quick and dirty" version of what MFTI looked like under MT2.661 with the new MT3 templates. It's not perfect, but it's mostly there. (I haven't put the title graphic back in place. I figure I'll save that for when I have all the little "bells and whistles" in place.)
newsI have upgraded this site to MT3. You may have noticed that it looks completely different from how it looked yesterday. You may have also noticed that it looks suspiciously like the default templates that come with MT3. That's because it is. I'll be changing this soon. The whole backend of the site is different and I had a lot of redirect problems to work out. They should all be taken care of now. If you notice any problems, please let me know so that I can fix it.
newsBack to work on Monday. Woohoo! Bad news. We're on a week to week basis. So I've got one week of work guaranteed and we'll just see from there. Hey, work is work. I'm not complaining. And since I can make as much in a week doing sound as I can in a month on the state's unemployment, it'll be a nice little cash influx every once in a while until we can get on another show fulltime.
newsLee is looking to sell some of his paintings. He has some very nice ones of rockstars, and others as well. You can find more information about the paintings and his contact info at his website.
newsOi! My feet are killing me! I'm back home after much walking around Las Vegas. I have things to say about stuff I saw, and places I went. But not now. Now it is late. Or at least late enough. And I'm tired. And the kitties missed me. Goodnight.
newsYou are now looking at the Movable Type version of my website. After a lot of work I was able to get back to the same functionality that I had under iBlog plus a few extra little features. I'm hoping to add some things in the future. Some of them you won't even notice--like an interface on my end so that I can quickly add new links. And some more style sheets including one optimized for printing. But all that is down the road. I think the only thing that hasn't carried over from my iBlog version are the comments that people left for me at Haloscan. There weren't many. I will add them in over here. Unfortunately the original dates of the comments won't carry over. Oh well.
newsI just got an email from my buddy Ben who's taking off for Japan and Australia tomorrow. His girlfriend and her friend have already been in New Zealand and Australia for a bunch of months checking things out. So they're reuniting in Tokyo which I'm very happy about. And thankfully we all get to read about it in their weblog, The Adventures of Katie and Emma.
newsIt is done. After a little bit of wondering where my title graphic when off to and then trying to figure out why there was an orange stripe above the graphic, the Monsters from the Id revised website is done. Please let me introduce you to a style I call:
newsI'm so glad that these people are in charge of our country:
newsI have my car back! Woo hoo!
newsI could be receiving good news literally any second now. I'm not going to jinx myself and say anything else. There'll be a full update when the final word is in.
newsWelcome to the newly redesigned MFTI. I hope to occasionally update this page with my thoughts, interesting websites, and programs that I'm working on.
