The One Who Has His Family’s Future at Heart

@

Did some layout re-design to improve readability and got the playlist section up as promised.
Not 100% on whether it should be one playlist or individual tracks, since the individual layout looks better, but this one is more accessible since you can use the external player (my personal preference).
The Writer’s Desk is next for revision, but I ran out of time this weekend, so hopefully it’ll gone done in between writing sessions next weekend.

For writers who travel a lot like myself, I highly recommend looking into a cloud storage solution if you haven’t already.
Most, like Microsoft’s SkyDrive (my personal choice) and Google’s Drive/Docs are free, and wicked convenient when working from multiple computers/locations.

No more having to transfers seven support docs and modified manuscripts for every writing session, just to check which revisions you made on which and hope you remembered to copy your latest draft.
Also, if working with multiple people, you can add group view/editing access, and I know at least for SkyDrive, that you can also do it by sending regular web links that anyone can access from any web browser (even tablet/smart phones).

Do yourself a favor and check it out.

I Wanna Always Feel Like Part of This Was Mine

@

Spent the last two weeks conducting an exhausting overhaul, but I think it speaks for itself.
Still a few minor tweaks to fix up, but by and large the major work is done.

Site is now not only super shiny, but also responsive – so it adjusts sizes based on you! (or more accurately, your website-viewing peripheral of choice)
Improved readability quite a bit too, so it’s no longer an arduous death march of burning eyes through lines of text… as much.

And Praise Chorus? Sometimes you just need the classics.

Edit: Caveat – Internet Explorer is still the worst thing to grace the internets.
If you see errors and stuff, blame Microsoft until I’m done summoning the forces of Satan to fix their mistakes.
Or better yet, do the world a favor and switch over to Firefox/Waterfox or Chrome.

Got a Fresh New Kind of Attitude

Living out of a hotel in Germany.
Actually a little cooler than it sounds.

Found some time to do a few back-end optimizations and tweaked the site a bit, so it should load a little faster now.
It’ll be down on Wednesday to support the SOPA protests, and back up that evening.

Also mulling over some ideas for a new layout…again.
I get bored quickly.
Any ideas or feedback are more than welcome.

Edit: Please take a moment to vote for Roaming Cadenza in the Book Cover Art contest being hosted over at Alternative-Read.com.
It’s going on until the end of the month.
