i posted this image to flickr the other day, but you may not have noticed, since i removed flickr pictures from my feedburner feed. feedburner changed the way that they handle photos, from including them chronologically in the feed, to changing the datestamp to put them as the first items. this means that every time they change the datestamp, your feed reader will see them as a new post. i don't need to spam you with pictures you've already seen, so i removed the service.
as far as the image, it's nothing special, i just got tired of how blah the originals looks, so i threw in an image-based lighting pass so the planes looked a bit more tangible. the image is a side result of my efforts to update my portfolio pages so that they're consistant. somehow the redirection project hasn't been updated any of the last few times i've updated the rest of the site. unfortunately, after i'd spent hours redesigning everything, i realized that safari doesn't respect overflow: auto;
boo. i think that's the first time i've seen IE do something better than safari.
another thing i'm trying out is using an offsite host for my animations. not for any bandwidth is an issue (EasyCGI gives me waaay more than i could ever use), but video inside flash is much more cross-platform than embedded video. it means i don't have to worry about visitors having the proper codecs. downside being the mildly clunky YouTube interface:
granted, embedded WMV and real players aren't terribly pretty either. i tried google video as well, but as of yet, they still haven't even made the first video i submitted live. youtube's videos went live in 30 seconds or less.

I noticed that about feedburner too. Weird.
I like the fork style mingled with your own style. Looks good. Let me know if you have any K2 related questions, I don’t know all the answers but I may know a few.
yeah, so far i’m enjoying the push-button simplicity of it. i’m not sure whether i’ll keep it or not, but there was definately too much scrolling with my squibble layout.
i’m not really sure why feedburner changed it, but i wish they hadn’t. i like having multiple services muxed into one feed.
It is very simple to use. Of course, I’ve found that getting into theloop.php and the conditional php statements in the sidebar.php can be very challenging.
yeah, i say simple, but that’s considering that i’ve already hacked nearly all of the files. they’re just all leftover hacks from when i tried upgrading to WP 2.0
the conditional statements in the sidebar aren’ts so bad. i haven’t tried messing with the loop yet.
Dude all the image based lighting aint gonna help out that deflated circus tent. At some point we gotta actually re-render that sonobitch if its gonna show. Anyways like the new interface, the architectonicyness makes me fell all warm.
‘deflated circus tent’
hahaha, awesome. yeah, my goal was just to turn down the suck a bit, since i didn’t have anything else that would really do for a background.
now that the website functions, i can turn my attention, i might turn my attention to
a) cleaning up the model
b) rerendering
i’m just not sure how muuch effort it’s worth. at some point it would be easier to start from the rib model (which is clean(er)) and rebuild the rest of the project.
and, thanks!
