New Site Ya'll

Well, it has been a while, I admit. Been a little more busy than usual, but making progress — always a promising sign. So, somewhere in between all of my activities and work, I found some time to redesign the old site and portfolio.

The Portfolio

The portfolio is scalable and completely actionscript-based (aside from a couple movies on stage). It pulls all of the text content from a txt file, and the images are loaded externally. All that is required for update and/or expansion is the altering of 3 arrays. I am hoping to port all of this stuff to XML and external AS classes sometime in the near future. Thereby eliminating the need for recompile on update. Still, not too shabby.

The Site

The site itself is WordPress-based. It uses the majority of the php (some removed, some altered) from the Kubrick theme originally developed by Michael Heilemann. The design, styling, and much of the XHTML was done by me. There are still a few things that need to be updated / improved, like database integration on the “Noah’s Lists” sidebar. Oh, and speaking of the sidebar, all recommendations are linked to Amazon through my Associate account. So, buy often and feel much better about yourself.

More updates soon. Until then…
