The Website
This site has been serving as my personal record on everything I like to do. I like playing games, musical instruments, writing music, rants, lyrics, fiction, etc. Sometimes I’ll throw in a bit of PHP code or website design tip if I feel that it needs to be publicized.
The site was started on Google’s Blogger, but didn’t offer me any room to breathe. So from there, I moved to WordPress and Cirtex Hosting for my site and have been happy about the move.
My first designs were primitive, but functional, resting on tried and tested principles yet had very little accessibility–for instance, I used to think that having a site default to 1280px wide was usable. Not only was it hard to read, but it was impossible for me to view on school computers. Later, I began reading many articles on modern website design and from there, I never looked back.
I code everything by hand and have for a very long time. I believe I gave up WYSIWYG editors in the early 2001’s. While the design wasn’t free of tables yet, neither were most websites at the time.
It should be stated that I do this for myself. If I didn’t, I would literally do nothing all day, every day. I know that no one wants to read this kind of stuff and don’t really care. So, if you do read it, good for you and thanks, but I do this to keep myself balanced and at least mentally active.
Me
I began my adventures in web design when I was a lot younger. I believe my first projects focused around things for Ultima Online free servers. From there, I got connected to Keith “Mortin” Whitsitt (1984-2004 RIP) at Icrontic and we became good friends. Eventually, I began doing website work for him under the alias of MethoD and really took a liking to the community. When the site was hacked and he sold the rights to it on E-Bay, we had a falling out.
From there, I just forgot about everything and played videogames, worked for the school paper, picked up my grandfather’s guitar when he died, etc. I didn’t focus on anything much but PHP programming which would lead me no where that I wanted to go. I hate working with computers for a living and changed my major after one semester in college. History is more my calling, as I love reading literature and events from the past. There’s no greater inspiration than a sparsely read piece of literature.
