Not Enough Hours in The Day

getting really focused on doing web design work, which isn't leaving much time for keeping up on adding entries here, keeping up on all your blogs, or the several other things i try and keep up with on line...i apologize for not being able to devote time to all of you, but will get back to doing so when i get a few things completed.
we have made a few more small changes to the CSY Designs site...we added Geoff's information to the About Us page, added a note to the Portfolio main page concerning page load times in the portfolio, and made a slight change to the navigation on the individual portfolio pages.
i have also added some new images to the Logos Album in the WickdArts Design Gallery....i hope to have some more things ready to add to the gallery shortly.

Too Much, Too Little

wish there was some way to split myself into several people during my bursts of manic productivity...then i could work on several of the ongoing projects i have all at once, and finish them, or at least some of them, instead of making a little progress in each in fits and starts...did finish the last of the writing i needed to complete for the web hosting site my g/f is building, and with any luck the basic site will be up and running in the next day or so...still leaves lots of work to be done on it, but at least we might be able to get some people signed up and money coming in...now just have to finish the other 8 million projects that i am somewhere in the middle of, or have yet to actually start on...maybe i can find Homer Simpson's cloning hammock.

Creativity Sparking Again

well i think the worst of the creative block/artistic funk i was in is finally going away...i was inspired to shoot about 2 1/2 rolls of film over the last few days, and plan on shooting at least one more today or tomorrow...i was so motivated, that i actually scanned in the 1/2 roll of color stuff and will be cropping/manipulating and such over the next few days, and plan to upload anything good from that asap to the new still photos album...alas, i have to wait until friday to get the other two rolls back from being processed, as it takes a week to have anything other than simple color developing done, and one roll is B&W, the other is high definition color slides...i will shoot more B&W, next roll is, as i seem to have more success with it...with any luck this will be the trigger needed to inspire more abstract work also...i really hope so, as there are things bouncing around in my head needing an outlet, and for me doing pure abstracts is very cathartic...while any creative expression provides some catharsis for me, no other medium comes close to abstract for getting things out of my system...i'm also feeling up to grinding out grunt work once again, which means i might actually get all the image descriptions completed for the gallery, and maybe even finish fixing visual ansgt....if things go really well i may find that much needed inspiration to create a real site style for wickdarts design, and could start putting content up...keeping my fingers crossed, and hoping for the best.

More Filler

added my entries from my deviantart journal (completely forgotten about it), which should complete chore of importing my old stuff...these are mostly short as wasn't approaching it as a true journal, but wanted to include them for completeness sake....the site i babbl about there is visualangst.com , which is down for repair, but back soon with any luck....wasted some time creating a rating graphic based on my comment to this Social Reject-Bloggy Rudeness entry, which margi immediately incorprorated into her blog's disclaimer...so i thought why not add it to my site as well, but being me, could not make it simple on myself, therefore the hours creating a parody of the official MPAA ratings image...i hope to have it incorporated soon, how soon depends on me deciding adjustments to the layout and cajoling my girlfriend into making the required changes to the code, as i am a complete idiot when it comes to code...good thing she loves me, because if i tried to code, even the simplest of stuff, all my sites would look like they were built by designed by a chimpanzee on drugs

Poor Work Ethic?

if you wonder why i'm being so sporadic about writing here, well wonder no more...no, i'm not procrastinating (much, anyway), lazy (well not too), stuck in some depressive hole, or just posseing poor work ethics...i am busy trying to get the style for this blog finished, get visualangst fixed and back on line, helping corrinne with her sites, and too much more to write down...please, bear with me for the next few weeks, and then i should be doing an average of at least an entry a day (i hope)...i will also be busy for about 10 days starting next weekend, due to a visit by my daughter and son-in-law (woooohoooo)...i will be here, but prolly not likely to devote much time while they are here to web projects (mine anyway), will keep you all posted on things....thank you for your support

Stylish???

ok, got the majority of my new style worked out...it is not yet complete, as it is missing the banner, a couple of modules, and i will be tweaking the layout a bit before it is complete...i hope you all like the color scheme, i know it is a bit dark, but that is intentional....while i may try some slight changes to the colors of the various text and link sets, the colors are designed to seamlessly integrate with my primary site, "Visual Angst", and it's associated apps (guestbook and forum), which i spent obscene amounts of time creating the templates for...i created the entire look and feel of "Visual Angst" as an abstract artistic concept...i personally like how the blog looks on its own, but it will, i believe look and feel much better once i get the main site back up and all elements integrated...i am sure that some of you will find the look/feel to be disturbing, unsettling, and/or depressing, too bad

Please let me know what you think so far, good or bad...and as it evolves keep letting me know how i am doing with it...i welcome all input and suggestions, and will reply to let you know you have been heard...if anyone asks, i am happy to go into boring detail about what i am trying to achieve

Aaaaarrrrrggggghhhhh!!!

too many thoughts in my head....can't think....can't focus....it's all muddled together...damn this new toy...this always happens...start an entry, write a few thoughts, go nowhere, change subject, repeat....ugh....maybe later, maybe tomorrow or the next day...stay tuned, please...i promise to really have something coherent to say soon (i hope)...must log out now to preserve sanity (mine) (yours too, probably)....kgjefrd'lbgkn

Amazed

still kind of amazed that people like my stuff...definately cool, and it definately gives me encouragement to keep at it...now will have to try and keep focused on trying to let those good feelings bleed over into the rest of my life...well back to the grind for now, got some werk to do.
