i’ve developed and installed a “like/unlike” plugin for my blog. it’s very facebookish. if you like my posts or random video posts, please give a click or two. i’d highly appreciate it. <3

(doing so will help me get a feel for what you guys want to see more of)

simplified!

made a few adjustments including the logo, the purpley rainbow margins, social media icons and the footer. also made adjustments to the background. also decided to remove 40% of the initial design that i would probably not use. would’ve been too much clutter anyway. keep on the lookout for the new design!

my lack of blogging

admin — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 05:38:41 +0000

the blog speed hasn’t been as rapid lately due to the fact that my laptop died, but that should soon change in a matter of days.

i was so excited over ordering the mini that i actually used two-day shipping via ups, something i never usually do when i order online. it’s scheduled to arrive monday. once i get home from school @ 5pm, i will be spending a couple hours formatting the entire thing and installing XP, installing my piggyback shell program astonshell to replace the entire explorer setup that xp uses, installing all of the programs i need, installing my php server, setting up my wallpapers, setting up my astonshell theme, setting up my wifi, setting up my bluetooth, blah blah blah blah blah.

but once all of that is set up, i should have plenty of wifi access from my room to start blogging on my regular schedule again. i know i have access to my brother’s laptop or the desktop in my library, but there’s nothing like being able to blog from the comfort and privacy of your own room and not having to worry about taking up other people’s spaces.

now i don’t expect to do a whole lot of graphic-intensive work on the thing. the most i’ll ever be able to do is some photoshop design work and touchups for when i’m on the go and travelling, but for the most part, most of that graphic stuff will be taken care of on my hackintosh. i am fully aware of this laptop’s capabilities and while i do plan to abuse the abilities of the hp mini to some extent, i know that the thing cannot handle certain games and programs. you will find the following installed though:

astonshell
photoshop
illustrator
flash cs3 (a little iffy on whether this thing will run smoothly or not)
wampserver
dreamweaver
notepad++
open office
watchtower library 2007
all of my audio/video codecs
winamp
itunes
magiciso
alcohol 120%
starcraft: broodwars (this thing can play it)
call of duty 4 (the hp mini can also play this, at the lowest settings)
madden 2008 (hoping for the best here)

some of those programs may be pushing it, but i’m hoping for the best. i also have a couple of hardware hack plans for the hp mini. i do want to install the pirated gps software by garmin which also requires a hard-wired gps receiving unit to be soldered to the motherboard. i don’t see that as a big task though. much better than spending another $400 on a gps unit.

the other idea is converting the hp mini’s screen to a touchscreen/tablet. now with the asus eeepc, that wasn’t a problem at all. with the hp, it’s a problem. i know there is no room to fit the module of the glass anywhere inside. so that sucks.

but i guess that’s all i really wanted to say. i will be carrying this thing around more often, especially out in service (not literally of course). the hub isn’t being used as much as i want it to (yet) until i officially present it this coming friday so i will have my own personal “offline” version to keep track of the territories i give out. i’m especially glad that i found one in stock just in time for district!

just an idea i had.

it would be another wordpress blog where you guys can log in and post up pictures from parties and other events. i just noticed that a lot of moms and dads from the filipiana shindig visit underattacker for that party’s pictures and it would be cool to have a special domain for them to go to everytime they want to get the pictures for a party. also i wouldn’t want them having a hard time browsing and sorting through my blog just for the pictures. the only thing that would be posted up on that blog is pictures and anyone who wants can have a “blogger” login so that they can post their pictures from the event.

man can you tell i’m seriously on a design and development boredom stage?

this is how you blog

these visits were seconds apart from each other after adding a few hacks to underattacker.

now thats how you do it. it’s not about how active your discussions get. its about the return visitors and the low bounce rate you get.

now i’ve seen some of the bounce rates for other design and development bloggers i know on blogspot or xanga or wordpress or cushy or whatever, and it’s pretty bad; mostly due to the fact that those sites don’t support many seo plugins (with the exception of wordpress). but i guess if your target audience is personal friends and thats all you aim for, thats all you’ll get. the blogging elite is not too far away now…although i might’ve already hit that mark when i was blogging back in 1998.
