psychedelic art, art galleries, Stanley Mouse, Glen Ellen
...
That's why I haven't been blogging much except for silly little frivolous items. Putting some of the final touches on a website for a friend of mine in Glen Ellen, for her
Showcase Gallery
where she feature such notables as
Linus Maurer (inspiration for the character "Linus" in the late Charles Schultz's widely-celebrated Peanuts cartoon. And she is currently showing an original work by
Stanley Mouse, who all you 60's era afficianados will know from numerous psychedelic posters and album covers.
There'll be more, but I gots to gets to bed...

graphic design, blogging, Opera community, photography
...
As much as I liked the design that I had on this blog, it wasn't
mine. I felt strongly that I had to step forward and be counted as a true Citizen of the World™.
Yes, it was clear I had to
As you can see, the overall design of the site is much more basic, but I thought personalizing my own blog was something long overdue. And, I think I did a bang-up job making the banner. (that's me at the far right of the photo, reflected in a shop window in Santa Rosa)
I'll try to add more features as I overcome my limitations as a designer, web logger, lover, astronaut...
oooh. way past my bedtime...

Free Clinic, layout, Sonoma County, website

There isn't much to see
so far (my contacts are a little slow getting me things like "content"-- something I'm beginning to suspect is somewhat endemic to this crazy web-building biz...), so this is just the layout (and temporary at best)--

css, javascript, stylesheets, scripting

I don't have a bunch of interesting adventures to talk about; mostly I've been working on my web-building skills. Yesterday I did a semi-major revamp of my design site:
glassangel.com.

I'm spending most of my time brushing up on my web building skills. Each day I rotate lessons in PHP, javaScript, Python and CGI/Perl, and I spand another part of my day in basic web design.

glassangel, web design, art deco
This business of taking photographs with my phone is for the birds-- and even
they are complaining...
Anyway, as I was walking home last night, I was walking through *ahem* Petaluma's Historical Theatre District-- which pretty much consists of a movie theatre and-- um... actually, that's really
IT...
They
DO, however, have a rather nice art deco design for the otherwise pedestrian cinimaplex downtown. So as I was walking by I decided to take a couple of photgraphs (which appear on
my photos page), one of which is the
new splash page for my main site, which is kind of amusing for about two minutes, but I simply
MUST come up with a more professional looking design if I'm ever going to get any paying gigs out of it.
I spent
WAAAYYY more time today than I ever should have spent on it, trying to cobble together a natural-looking (FAILED) marquee for the middle of the photo leading into my site, including what was supposed to be a neon sign (failing again) reading "glassangel".
Anyway, I have other work to do, so I guess it's "Back to Work"...

css, browsers, page layout, Santa Rosa
...
Just moved into a 2 bedroom townhouse in Santa Rosa a couple of days ago. I have an internet connection in the place, but no router, so as soon as I get that hooked up (oh, and a desk...), then... I'll probably never leave home. Anyway, I've got to find a new job to pay for all this, so I'll be keeping this short (so I can cut out of here quickly & run).
Bla Bla Bla...
Worked on some CSS last night, trying to pare down a 3 column layout to the barest essentials. Because the
tag has proven so ineffective as a layout device, I'm back to using tables to block out the desktop real estate. I heard the W3C was trying to deprecate tables as a layout device, but apparently (due to wildly inconsistant implementations in different browsers) they are actually expanding the table specification in CSS.
I have a pretty good 3 column layout that works consistantly in the three major Windows browsers, so I'm going to be working on some sample sites soon.
