Cleared out some old posts from Posterous

As the title says, i’ve now cleared out all the old dead links to posterous  and all of the old images.

Also updated the WP themes and plugins, i will one day actually use this site for content, but my life is currently bogged down into work, that i should be doing. especially since it’s 12.35am on a Monday.

 

Man, it’s still kind of annoying that they closed Posterous, as it was a good catch-all social site,

but tumblr, kind of outmatched it in a lot of ways. a pity, since tumblr often had so much … inane … filler and LiveJournal + Animated GIF content.

unlike this site. which is chock full of content.

Site update June 2013

moresite updates?

I sort of dislike the idea of blogging. But I’ll be putting content up onto this site, so I should at least make a positive start, get some fresh paint, update the theme and spruce things up.

I need to test a few mechanisms and plugins over the next few weeks, and tie in some portfolio work I’ve been recalcitrant on adding, due to incompleteness.

That, and its 4am. So I can’t think of anything productive at this point, I have to be up in 4 hours.

My errant game design project – week 1

There’s nothing quite as discordant as preparing to do just one thing all week, then turning up to an empty room; waiting for friends to arrive, or at least someone you know. And generally losing your confidence as time slips past, very slowly.

I’d planned to run through a proposal for a 5 month game design project. had some notes ready, a presentation, a group of people to work with, etc.

… Nobody showed up.

20 hours to tie an idea together from largely nothing, form a backstory, put up some sketches and a workload, and *bzzt* nothing. No contact, no apology, no feedback. Nothing.

I would feel angry, but it is, ultimately, where I have chosen to be. In as much as I don’t know the people, I don’t have the skill or the experience; I have an idea, and now I have no team. I should feel some shame or grief or guilt, mostly it’s curious abandonment, I have to start again, or follow another North Star, another bright light towards a distant destination.

And, its not a very original story, not a very difficult concept, it’s not challenging. Not at all. It’s sufficiently stupid, and sufficiently engaging. But I still feel attached to this vestigial idea, and it will never happen.

Hi

Just thinking that it should be a new day for updates and changes. And revamping old websites
