Yesterday was exactly one year since the untimely demise of CMS-TV and my last day working at Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools. And today is exactly one year since I became unemployed for the first time in my life. It took nine months but I eventually got a great new job in Washington, DC. This had got me [...]
My friend Elizabeth just emailed me asking about how to create a website. I want to help a friend design and post a website which would be updated regularly to show samples of his work. Question is, what are my options….should I hire someone like you to design it and if so, about how much [...]
Due to Blogger’s discontinuation of FTP blog support, this shall be my last post on Blogger. Goodbye Blogger. My plan is to leave all 452 blog posts right where they are so that old links throughout the internet will still work. But also to move them all to my new website… The Usual Susspects. * [...]
I’ve been thinking about this for a while, but tonight I made it official. After 13 years on the internet, I’ve decided to kill off my oldest and most popular website, PSTValumni.com. Here are some of the highlights for me to write on the website’s epitaph: Won a national website design award in 2003 Led [...]
All of my websites went down for an unbearable 100 hours a month ago. Even when they finally came back online I’ve continued to have tons problems with things missing or not working, and my host’s tech support has been absolutely horrible. Well you may have noticed that all of my websites were down again [...]
I’m so glad to see that my website just came back online, but I am livid at my website hosting company! All of my websites went down Monday afternoon. An occasional outage should never last more than a couple of hours at most. One came back 24 hours later but all databases were lost so [...]
So I have this webcam but it’s doing absolutely nothing. It was pointing out the window for months but during the day it’s too bright (it’s a crappy camera) and at night it’s all black. What’s the point? So I recently just stuck it on top of my computer but since neither of us want [...]
I’ve always hated the homepage of my website. I tried including sample content like blog snippets and photo feeds but it felt too redundant. I tried avoiding redundant content but then the site seemed boring and unaesthetic. This past weekend I finally sat down and just started fiddling around with PhotoShop, with no particular ideas [...]
Last month we lost our entire website Photo Album due to an unknown issue on my server. Since I had to start from scratch again, rather than reinstall the software which failed I decided to go with Picasa Web Albums. I much rather prefer to fully embed my entire photo album within my website like [...]
As you can see, I’ve redesigned the website. It’s a simpler design, but one big difference is a rotating header image. Every time you load a new page or click “reload” on your browser you’ll get a new header image. So far I’ve got four header images available but I’ll add more later. Another big [...]
