Web Fu & Site Updates: 2005 Archives

I dun got m'sef interviewed. Woot! Local SF rag, nicely produced, with Yoda on this editions cover.

Northside: October 2005 | Issue 14

Ever work late and worry that your new boss will walk into your office unannounced (as he usually does) while you're rockin' out to Ween and coding late into the night?

"You can wash my balls with a warm, wet rag."

Oh gawd.

Probably because I was terribly remiss in creating profiles for my recent additions, I didn't realize that 3 out of my 4 bjd's are Aquarius'!

I'm just now figgering this out because... I've written up their profiles! Pretty basic, but cute. Meh.

Leo much?

I've penned up a wee section about the site and myself. And updated my pictures and stuff.

And stuff.

I hate writing about me in that third person sort of way. That is why previously I had a friend do it. And that was last updated in, um, 1997. Ugh. If anyone has any suggestions, please speak up! Section will be expanding as time allows.

Posting pictures of myself on the internet however, I'm all over.

Your hotmail has bounced my reply, which is not unusual for them. Please read:

Welcome to Blastmilk Redux. There is still a lot to do, I've rushed the upgrade before I was ready for big dark secret reasons. There will be lotsa stylesheet fixes, and file jostling. So please forgive the abbreviated website, broken links, funky nav, and random funky text colors. I will be committing many more updates in the coming weeks.

Please to report brokey things.

Mwah!

EDIT: my web fu masters, if you have any input on how to improve my xhtml, please do!

Can anyone recommend a forum for friendly html/design/code help and input and community?

With my new job and all I'm needing a place I can ask hi-tech questions and just wondered if any of ya'll have a favorite.

Thanks!

EDIT: Alex, I'm looking through your links. Rockin'! Do you have any suggestions for dhtml menu builder that uses graphics? Also, free? Need.

I have 323mb of mail sitting on my server. Must. Download.

I should just delete the lot. I have over 10 years worth of mail that I never use or refer to. Just purge it all. I don't file anything anymore unless it is important or a transaction.

I've sold FeeVerte.net for a tidy sum to a dear friend at Oxygenee.com. I can't believe I've really done it!

I'm so relieved. I've been running the site for nearly eight years, and the past couple years have been grueling since my heart just wasn't in it anymore. Due to drama, politics, betrayal and heartbreak, I've just had it all squashed out of me. And I've found someone I believe will maintain the core integrity of the site, who is a lovely friend, very supportive and honorable.

I've agreed to stay on for six months to maintain and integrate his site with mine. Eventually he may add a bit of commercial interest, but I know it won't be evil. It will be an honest endeavor. Mr. Kallisti and I will also be staying on as moderator admins.

I am sad too. Without the site, the friends I've made, my life wouldn't be the same. This is where/how I met Mr. Kallisti! I've been mentioned in books and articles, and have friendships forged all over the world now. But I've lost some friendships too. And some have lost me...

My sadness since I began this process a month ago has been profound. But you know when you reach the end. You just know. I feel so grateful that someone was there to take over from me.

I've just posted to the inner forum, we eagerly await the reaction. It will go public this afternoon.

I think I'm going to cry.

p.s. look for blastmilk.com part II in the coming months, in which I consolidate much of my online material into kallisti's wee funhouse of severed heads and scary dollies. I'm so happy. *sniff* Really I am.
