New DeviantArt Feature

Group fuctionality in Deviantart sounds nice. I like how DA is getting to be more and more like a social networking site with each update. It has to evolve or it dies. Besides, that's what it really should be: a place where artists and art afficionados can network with one another, notwithsdanding the presence of those few wannabe-reclusive-artist types.

Just Shut Up About It

A nice quote from Paulo Coelho via Twitter which should do well as a workplace dictum:

"Be careful! Don't let your superiors know you're superior to them."

Nuff said.

JetAmago.com

So when I decided not to renew my personal domain name at GoDaddy.com, some enterprising miscreants immediately usurped my name and registered it for themselves. They're now using it to point to some Wordpress blog selling crap. Just thought I'd post this in case someone stumbles into it and think it's mine.

To the Leyte Metropolitan Water District

Thank you, LMWD, for keeping us customers on our toes by providing erratic, unreliable service. It keeps us vigilant and aware of the festering incompetence in the bureaucracy by your haphazard and half-assed handling of the city's water shortage problem.

This thing about Jacque Bermejo...

... has got me thinking hard about password security even in 'harmless' accounts as Facebook or Twitter. I'm not sure whether Bermejo's FB account got hacked or anything, and somebody else posted the controversial comments which apparently got her flamed by the entire Filipino community on the Web, but that's moot. The point is that one of the things that social networking sites have made easier is for dastardly individuals to impersonate people and make their lives miserable as a result.

Avatar the Last Airbender Movie



The fact that M. Night Shyamalan is at the helm of this live-action adaptation of the Nickelodeon cartoon kinda gives me hope that it'll not suck as much as Dragonball Evolution did.

Ah ok....

... so my old sketch blog hasn't actually been deleted yet.

Will keep it a while longer. Anyway, I managed to rescue it from the mire of confusion that was my erstwhile domain name redirects. Wasn't as complex a process as I thought. Now if I could just figure out a way to fix the messed-up image formatting.

Update 08-12-10: I just found out the blog is gone. Totally and permanently, I guess. Oh well, moving on...

Following Blogs...

...is by far the best feature Blogger has ever come up with, IMHO.

Now the Dashboard is something I'll actually be looking forward to peeking into daily.

Star Wars Clone Wars Fanart

One of my current--albeit minor--personal projects is the creation of Star Wars Clone Wars fanart in alphabetical order. I'm having problems with the letter "Y", though, since I'm not sure there's been a character or creature with the name that begins with that letter so far.

Anyway, I've already done A to D, but the project is temporarily on hiatus due to a busy schedule, but I hope to resume work on it as soon as I've caught up with my work load for May.

Don't expect much from it, though, as it's just a project done for fun, but it's one of the more enjoyable stuff I'm doing right now since I really love drawing and I've been a big Star Wars fan since I first saw a New Hope in VHS back in 80-81. And let other people think otherwise, but I think the new Clone Wars series is a fantastic show and I totally loved the entire first Season run. In fact, I can't wait for Season 2 to air this Fall.

Anyway, here's a link to my Deviantart page where you'll find more info about the project: taclobanon.deviantart.com

Rebooting Blog

Deleted old blog. Time to start a new one. Also, I had decided not to renew my domain name subscription so somebody else registered my DN and is now using it to advertise products and stuff. Weird world. Maybe he's expecting that I'd buy it back for profit someday? Like when I'm famous and the DN would appreciate in value? Probably won't happen, but that's a nice thought.

Not sure what format I'd follow with this one. The last one was practically a sketch blog, but I'm already happy with my page in Deviantartart so I'm not yet sure what I'll use this for. Maybe my own thoughts about the goings on in world or something? Yeah, those would be interesting.

Anyways, we'll see.
