Earth Day

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

Conservatives should really learn to conserve resources rather then using them up as quickly as possible. Will it take the earth to reject us completely before they come to their senses?

On a brighter note, I solved my issues, and the website can be found at 365yesterdays.com. So the website is all set up with placeholders at the moment though, but I’m sure I’ll have a comic up by the end of the day. For now I’m going to go swimming.

Also I ended up using comicpress rather then manga+press. Mostly because it worked.

Cheers, as I’m off to go swimming. Excuse me while I kiss the sky?

On the Nature of Comics and Whatnot

Tuesday, April 21st, 2009

Well, upgraded WP to 2.7.1 and forgot the spot for my twitter boxes AGAIN, so I’ll have to track that down and update it. Trying to think right now how I can update my website as a comic, and whether or not to have it as a seperate addy that redirects here or what.

What’s that, you say? Comic, says I? Webcomic, in fact? Why yes! I’m working on starting up an autobiographical comic about my life as a way of improving my art skills. I have a few different reasons, one of them is that I’m tired of having offline journals and what not, trying to keep track of them. Besides, maybe some people will even learn from my mistakes. It could be a nice possibility.

Still working on my video game (World of Trouble), not sure if I’ve mentioned it on here. Been interesting learning all the different parts of game design and programming. Not sure that I’ll continue in C# past this project though.. It’s taught me a lot, but I’m not the biggest fan of it.

OH! Over on my facebook page I’ve been working on a 365 days of self portraits using my camera, been a lot of fun so far. Hoping to continue that, but I might move it over to Flickr or something so that I can post something about it here.

Back to the webcomic for a moment, it comes with it’s own theme.  I think I’m going to give the plugin and theme a try, maybe have to look into making my own theme some more. Funny that now that I’ve started pulling away from school (For various reasons) I’m finally starting to get a real education. Maybe I’m just the type to learn better from doing… Then again, aren’t most people?

On a personal note I’m looking at restarting a DND group for the amount of time a good friend of mine is in town. And my physical training is shaping up well, even though I’ve yet to go swimming today. Maybe after that belly dancing student night tonight.

EDIT: Well bloody heck. I keep getting an error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or ‘}’ in /home/corbinis/public_html/wp-content/plugins/mangapress/includes/mangapress-classes.php on line 41

Problem is that when I load the file in question up in Dreamweaver, there is no T_STRING anywhere on line 41.  So there are bugs and issues to sort out. Hopefully they help take care of themselves, or I manage to solve this before I start uploading comics. To victory over the machine I go!

EDIT the second: BAH So it might not be a manga+press issue after all on account of the fact that I loaded up version the first (Manga+Press 1.0) and got the same results. Bah. BAH!!! So I think to fix this I’m going to have to reinstall wordpress ALONG with everything else… but I need to figure out how to back up my entries first. I suspect this will be a “Later this evening project” on account of all the swimming and bellydancing I need to do.

-What’s up me hearties YO HO!
