New theme, plus how not to complement in Japanese

[update] They responded, extra kind too. [/update] Of out of all the websites that qualify as Works of Art I can think of few that were not Japanese in origin. Perhaps it is the writing system and the subsequent dexterity? Could it be their religious dirty-phobia that keeps their designs minimal? Or could it be their [ READ MORE ]

Adventures in flash, a post mortem

A few months ago I started on a new project, learning to program in flash. The important point being the fact that at the time I couldn’t program in any language. Thus leaning to program in flash as really more about learning to program in general. The adventure lasted for about two and a half [ READ MORE ]

The dark cloud of not knowing

Man it has been a while since I felt like this, when you don’t really know what you are doing, following tutorials word for word yet it is just not working. I think I am just about over it for now but it has put me in a reflective mood, in the past I would [ READ MORE ]

Sumer is over, what have I done?

The Hidden Document, a Fallout 3 Mod.

After playing the awesome series of story mods by Puce Moose http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=4730 I decided to take a swing at it. I kept the story small so that I could focus on polish without getting getting sidetracked with making it grand. Update, now version 1.0: This new file fixes a major bug and greatly improves the story telling. Some [ READ MORE ]

My new site project: Cities XL

So while SMRsimple.com is not even feature complete yet I have gotten myself addicted to another game, Cities XL. The new fansite is not surprisingly citiesxlsimple.com Right now the game is still in closed bata and as a tester I’m under a NDA so there really isn’t much to do for the site. I may [ READ MORE ]

Hardware Faliure!

Just only about a week ago I had my third Seagate 1.5TB fail,  instead of exchanging it yet again I have ordered a 1TB Hitachi to use as my primary backup. I will then use the Seagate as a archive, or shortstroke it so that it does not run into the problem areas. Which brings me [ READ MORE ]

Smooth sailing so far

Everything is going along well so far, with both myself and the new site. I’ve started adding descriptions from the map’s orignal topic if there is a useful one there. I’ve got some more Japanese studying done. Did well, I think, on my last Social Test hope I also do well on the finals. PS: Is there really no [ READ MORE ]

My plans.

So I want to do something big. My I idea is for yet another website! Yeah I hear what your saying, “but Warll that is the last thing the SMR community needs”. Well you’re right, I myself don’t think the SMR community is large enough to support even two sites, although in this [ READ MORE ]

Uh oh.

Reading about and seeing what all has happened it looks like the SMR community is not as dead as I thought it was. I think I will have to reinstall SMR, wonder where I can find a Japanese copy. Really have to force myself from doing it right now, my finals are coming [ READ MORE ]

Sid Meier’s Railroads!: Intercontinental, it’s done.

About two years ago I was an active member of the Sid Meier’s Railroads!(SMR) modding community.   I have never been much of a programmer, or any programmer at that.  My one attempt at a map failed hard.  The thing is though we had no shortage of maps. What we did have though was a mess [ READ MORE ]

The name Warll

Believe it or not Warll isn’t just some weird spelling of war2, at least not now anyway. Its origin goes back to my first real experience with the internet, Runescape. Some friends were playing it at the time and got me addicted, well the first thing one needs would of course be a name. At [ READ MORE ]
