Article Selected

So, the title of the first article I will write is "Lets Chat! Or Skype, Or IM, Or Cell?" There was a tie, and I feel perfectly justified in voting multiple times if need be. But it seems people wanted to hear about this anyway.

I still don't like this final color scheme, but will go with it until I have some time to think it through. Work is starting to stabilize into more regular hours, so I might actually be able to pull this off.

Progress Slow, but Visible

Between getting a house ready, organizing finances, getting 2 games approved, making 3 embedded device games, and a virtual world MMO, I'm somehow still not quite caught up in setting up the blog. Oh, and I also organized and will be going to the first Charlotte IGDA Meeting tonight. Maybe I'm doing something else too, I just don't know it yet.

In anycase, I'm still going to do this, as organization by requirement is a healthy addition to my life. Need a tie breaking vote, but have started both articles just in case. I'll run the other one next time.

As far as format for the site, I'm not happy with the colors yet, but the background concept is sound, I think. I will be posting an article every Monday, and posting hours working on site development as well as a schedule. In this, I hope to improve my skills at estimating (and doing) work. We'll see how this goes.

Gettings things started

Ok, so this is my first post, and its going to be a basic one. I'm going through and customizing the template to give the site some personality and hurting my brain by dredging through the ancient caverns of my mind that once held HTML knowledge. Hopefully a month of this will yield a nicely laid out side with pretty colors and a few pictures. Also, I've started a poll that you can't read due to font color, but I'll write my first article off of that vote. Maybe I'll even set it up so the last line of text is legible too.

So, there are all sorts of crazy plans, but I'm at least getting started!
