After putting some thought into it, I've basically decided to never save images using the Joint Photographic Experts Group format (aka JPG/JPEG). Instead, I've decided to use the Portable Network Graphics (aka PNG) format.

Why would I do this? For pretty much the same reason I've stopped using VLC and switched entirely over to MPC + K-Lite...Go To Page.

I was looking for something to do today and decided to check out some other people's blogs to see what they have that I don't. The biggest thing I noticed that most other blogs have were comments at the bottom of a post.

After doing a quick Google search for "add comments to a blog" I stumbled upon this nice little script... Go To Page.

Not a big post, but just letting everyone know about what I'm doing here. Every time I finish playing Star Ocean: The Last Hope for a bit, I'm going to have a mini review of what I experienced. Check back here often, and you'll be able to find the entries under Game Reviews -> Star Ocean: The Last Hope in the side panel.

It's been a while since I posted anything here.
Halfway through my third term in VFS, I started using Linux on and off (mostly on my laptop as opposed to my PC).

The reason I started with it is because my laptop crashed pretty hardcore at the end of my first term and I lost all my files stored on it... Go To Page.

Fatigue strikes hard. It's 4 in the afternoon as I write this, yet I'm yawning as if I was about to collapse, and I'm wiping sleepy tears from my eyes.

A project! -gaspe!-
Yes, I've decided to re-create Rim Elm from the old PlayStation game Legend of Legaia, as a UT3 map... Go To Page.

This last while has been pretty hectic and stressful for me. But, as usual, I simply rode it out and it eventually corrected itself... sort of.

I was supposedly moving out of my apartment at the end of February, even though I had only told... Go To Page.

Good news, everyone!
Last night was Sasha's birthday, and I started talking with Alon near the end of it.

It was a great thing, because he pointed me in a very promising direction for my previous plans... Go To Page.

Progress is slow lately.
Again, it's been nearly a month since my last entry, and what do I have to show for it?

Well, I've got some good and bad news. But I've learned through the years that the good news should always be saved for last... Go To Page.

Haven't really done a whole lot of work on this site yet, but I've been looking around for some new stuff to implement. If I can get it all working correctly, it'll make my websites so much better.

Of those include a working 3D gallery to display some of my 3D assets. I'm not talking about an image gallery with screenshots of them in game or anything... Go To Page.

I'm on a roll with this lately, just throwing out entries left, right and center here.
I felt like there was a big enough change to the site to warrant a post about it, because new people might not know what it was like before now.

What I spent the last 2 and a half days (sort of) working on has been the fixed panel on the side. It was more of a headache to get working than anything else, really... Go To Page.

Wow, two entreies right after the other.
It's 1:58 AM as I'm writing this, and I just finished converting my entire blog from HTML to PHP just so the links on the right are easier to manage.

Yes, I am just that compulsive in order to make myself lazier later on. It was a good excercise though. Before this, I thought PHP was an entirely different language... Go To Page.

Happy New Year to all. It has been a while since my last update on here, for many a various reason which ultimately boils down to either A) Not enough time in the day, or B) I was just too lazy to do it. I apologize for that, and to make up for it, I've finally decided to post something on here before I head off to work. I suppose I'll write about the lastest and greatest game I've been playing, The Last Remnant.

This game can either be REALLY challenging or extremely simple, totally depending on what the AI wants to do each round... Go To Page.
