I'm not dead yet!

2008-05-17T19:28:00.001-07:00

I just noticed that I haven't updated the frontpage in over a year now. How embarrassing! This isn't a bad thing though, I simply have had a year busy with things that didn't involve generating site content. I got married, moved into a new apartment, got a new job, bought a house, and had a lot of fun too.

I have also been busy coding too. I've taught myself C# and XNA (not to say that I'm not still learning) and I've been trying to bring a project to fruition. It's gone through several stops and starts, but I'm really looking forward to how it turns out. It's entered a really promising phase lately, as I finally grasped some significant points of object-oriented entity management. I won't bore you with details, but hopefully I'll have something respectable enough to post up as an alpha soon. (If I don't play too much GTA)

Thanks for visiting!

SurfBlinders and iCloak are here!

If you check out my Firefox page in my portfolio, you'll see some cool new stuff is here. Not only has iCloak has been completely revamped into a much more robust script, but I've also introduced SurfBlinders - a more intelligent way to deal with useful, but distracting websites.

I'll confess: I'm easily distracted by Wikipedia. It's so easy to wind up many pages away from your original interest, and sooooo many minutes lost later. I've been using development versions of Surfblinders for a while now, helping me concentrate to get the necessary work done. It's an extremely useful tool, and I'm glad that I can share it.

Wiki security

2006-12-10T13:57:00.000-08:00

Hey there again,

I've posted up a long and in-depth article I've written about how to set up a private MediaWiki installation with the ability to publish articles publicly via the usage of a custom namespace. In plain English, you can get all of the ease of editing that you're accustomed to from Wikipedia with the comfort of knowing that your articles will be completely private until you explicitly publish them.

Curious? Then read it here! Any questions?

Wiki content

Hey folks!

Good news, namespace security is now working for LiquidWiki. I've started by moving two articles into the public section: my MediaWiki CSS reference and my Blogger template tag reference.

If you're technically minded, please read and enjoy!

I've just added a first work to my portfolio. Please feel free to drop by and check it out. I've got a lot of more stuff to post up, but I'm subjecting everything to a strict review before making it available. Hope I'm not over-committed to quality :-p

New construction!

2006-11-04T22:52:00.000-08:00

Hi, sorry for the mess, but I'm currently in the process of ironing out the kinks in terms of applying the new site design as a Blogger skin. It's going to take a little work yet to get straightened out. Please feel free to visit the wiki, the about page, contact info or even the sample page in order to get an idea of what this will look like soon!

Thanks for your patience!
