Semi-Usual update… I figured it was time to update, even though I don’t feel I have a lot going on that’s really blogworthy. I’ve been real busy with school, which is a good and a bad thing. I hate being tired so much, but I do like being busy and working on things that I find interesting.
This month is another 4 weeks of 3d, which I honestly know I’ll never want to work in, but do find mildly interesting. I’m working on a 3d model of the Arc de Triomphe and the surrounding area in Paris, and I hope it turns out really nicely. When I get done, I’ll be sure to post it here for all my adoring fans.
The other class is part of a 3 month block of one of my favorite things in the galaxy – the wonderful (and at times confusing) world of html/css. Our teacher is easily the finest teacher we’ve had since I started here. I consider my self an “intermediate” coder and I’ve already picked up a lot of things that made me say “OHHH!
” I knew HOW to do something, but I had no idea WHY. Now I know both. Speaking of css, I spent some time hacking away at my navbar – by far the weakest part of my page (other than the still to be finished photo section). The weather has been really nice down here lately, and I really think the next few months should be nice, until summer arrives. At least the beach is a short drive away.
I’m looking forward to spending time @ the beach in the coming months…. And last but not least, I installed MT-Blacklist not too terribly long ago, and kind of forgot about it. Today, I noticed I haven’t seen much spam on my site lately, so I checked the log for the MT-Blacklist plugin. To my surprise, it has blocked 57 comments in the past 4 weeks, with not ONE getting through. So, with that said, I give my seal of approval.
If you use MT and you get spammed as much as I did/do, download this puppy. It even auto-updates itself with the latest blacklist every week. I promise I’ll try to update more often.
Doubt I will, but I promise I’ll try. Update: as you may see, I’ve put the new menus up, but they’re not done yet. God bless.
