Walked in on Liara about to beat the crap out of Javik

15 November, 2012

The attention to details found in Mass Effect 3 is pretty amazing. I'm on my 2nd or 3rd play through so I know the story pretty well and I wasn't planning on much more than reliving the cool parts but then I ran into a scene completely new to me. Even more amazing it's a time sensitive dialog between a base character and an extension character! Now that's quite an example in integrating DLC as well.

Switched Hosting

02 November, 2012
When redesigning the site I had decided it would be good to consolidate the hosting to a single account. So I installed the site to a GoDaddy shared hosting, it's called something else that's much fancier like grid hosting or could hosting I think. After installing Drupal I found my self with 20 second page load times, one test result even gave me 4000+ millisecond time to first byte! Didn't have a single problem with the other sites but this one would just return errors... that's how long the pages took to load!

Okay new version is now all up and running, just waiting for the DNS to switch over and it's all good. Just a few more pages to polish up in the meanwhile.

Mobile friendly drupal form

20 September, 2012
Let's go straight to the point, drupal's default contact form simply doesn't play nice with small devices. Here I'll take about too major issues I had with it while testing it on my iPhone, the first a screen size problem and the second a functionality problem. I'll use CSS, HTML5 and jQuery to create workarounds that make the form mobile devices friendly without having to change drupal's actual contact from.

paaat v3 - for real this time!

16 September, 2012

Little to say, for a rather big accomplishment or so it would seem. After years of being too busy and having more important things to do I finally managed to update my website. I decided to start with little and add later to avoid getting caught in the details (since this is probably the 7th attempt to get paaat to v3 and the only one i finished). Since the last major website update I graduated from high school, college with a bachelors degree and a masters degree and more, so I did have some decent excuses for postponing my websites redesign.
