Stop-motion

This thing is very hard to master. It takes massive amounts of time to just make a few seconds or less of amateur-looking animation.

This is going to be loads of fun.

Here’s a little something that took me almost an hour to do…

Update: I ain't doing animation no more. 

It's cool, but it ain't my thing, takes too much time and isn't as enjoyable as something like software development.

Live Tiles

If you’re using Windows Phone or Windows 8, you can pin my website to the Start screen. But, alas, it’s not an ordinary tile… it’s alive! Thus, it cycle through some of my recent blog posts.

Now you can find out if a blog is worth reading just by glancing at the tile. (Cue in something about technology and laziness here.)


Here’s some pictures for those of you who have yet to upgrade:

So Responsive

What theme.

Wow.

 

So upon finding this theme and tweaking it, I was able to find how “easy” it is to design a “responsive website.” Basically, everything has a relative size, more or less, and then when the browser window is smaller than a certain size, you can set what things should display, or be moved somewhere else. (e.g. the logo disappears and the sidebar appears at the bottom on phones instead of on the side.)

 

I’m still no web designer though.

 

But I guess this indicates success.

 

What celebration.

Bing Knowledge Widget

I played around with some amateur webmaster toys. How this one works is you simply select the text you want to know more about. A little thing that says “Bing” will pop up, and all you do is click it, and it will show you more information about that word in Bing off to the right, without ever having to leave the page!

Ain’t that neat.

What format

So I spent a few days fighting with Blogger to change some fonts. I can't seem to change 100% of the fonts, at least on the mobile version, but when I have the knowledge, I'll be having a “liquid layout” instead of fooling around with two versions of the website. Much celebration will occur when that day comes.
