The Trip Upstate (2)

Well, it was a year ago this weekend that the movie A Trip Upstate was filmed. (You can check it out and download it on the “Movies” page.) So we’re going back Upstate to Elo’s, Andrew’s, Vance’s, and Lulu’s! I’m bringing both my still camera, so you’ll definitely see some pictures up after we come back on Monday, and most likely a movie (”The Trip Upstate 2: One year later”???) in the following weeks.

Also, some of you may have noticed that the site was down yesterday (Friday) - it was a Bluehost (our hosting service) error, but they corrected it themselves within 24 hours, so now it’s back, and now I’m inclined to back up my posts. Also, thanks to all of those who emailed me telling me that the site was down.

Colors, Games, and the new photos layout

You may have noticed some things going on with the site over the past week. First there was the “dummie” and “Literature” pages, then the games page, then the downloads page with a games page. Then the photoset page which had nothing on it under the downloads page. Then the header changing colors…

First off, no it’s not your imagination, I fixed up the logo a little bit, made it a bit sharper and better looking, and then added 5 other versions. (1+5=6 which are the colors of the rainbow). I know that it’s a little annoying to have the different colors everytime you go to a new page, so I’ll probably take it off soon, or change them periodically, but they all look so nice!

Second, the games page that appeared and then went under the downloads page is now back on the main page thing. There are 4 games you can download as .exe files that I made.

Third, the photos page has been RE-DONE. I realize that the old photo page format was very slow, loading individual pictures, one by one by one. There was the slideshow, but still - it just didnt’ really work. Also, I never really completed the movies page, so I am now going to try to unite photos, movies, and games under one consistent format. So since the photos were basically just streamed from my flickr account, I have now made my own, better looking version of the page. It’s not nearly as slow. Why? Because it links DIRECTLY to the flickr photoset page for each one, and I also link to the slideshow. And (New feature!) I’m starting to upload each of the photosets as .zip files with full quality images. So far they are only available for 4 sets, but there will be more to come. And you can reach all of this just from the Photos page! It’s still under construction, so the pages without zip files to download actually link to the one for Florida 2005, and it’s not all full yet. But it’s still viewable!

The movies page with downloadable (from our ftp server) and probably viewable movies too (youtube) will be put up soon with more movies than just the crusader series.

Games and Links

I’ve just added the games page and the links page. On the games page I’ve put 4 games that I’ve made with the program Game Maker, with more to come both from me maybe some from other sites - you know, cool games that I find.

In addition, I’ve also added a links page with links to friends and family sites, blogs, and some more things to come. It’s kind of messed up now, but I’ll fix it later.
Enjoy the 4 games (if you’re a PC user, if not then sorry, because it’s a .exe file, and Macs can’t read them!) I just did the breakout one which is being made now, so I’ll constantly update it, I know that the ball bounces really weird, so I’m fixing that, programming it differently.

I’ve just added a dozen or so new photos to the NYC photoset. They are mostly pictures that I took during a recent visit to Central Park, but there are also some photos of my building and the surrounding area which I added in because this is MY site.

Photos from my Dad’s birthday, which was last thursday (and celebrated Sunday) coming soon. Well - they’re actually just frames of video, but that works too.

I don’t know if the readers of this blog are aware, but this blog DOES have an RSS feed:

Netsua.com RSS Feed

It’s hidden in the little orange button () on the sidebar down by “Latest”. It’s RSS 2.0. Aaron is RSS crazy on his blog, so if any of you use RSS Feeds (Really Simple Syndication) you know where to find mine.

I’ve added about 15 more pictures to the Florida 2006 set taken from my own camerathat incude some pictures from the house, and a bit more.

And I’ve also added a few pictures from Vance’s Birthday party (3 weeks late - it’s a fad in our family) to it’s own set. There are only a few, all of them of Vance and Lulu with an ugly flash (except for Alex sleeping.) Still, they’re not bad pictures.

I’ve been taking a lot of pictures lately. I go some pictures from some incident involving the polic in front of our building the other day, and I’ve also gotten a bunch of pics from central park from the past few days when I brought my camera with my bike. I know, I know…. camera + bike = no good. And even worse: camera + bike at same time = DEATH. Yeah well, I happen to be particulary good at riding and pedaling a bike without any hands. So yeah, you can check them all out here.

Photoshop Category

I just added a photoshop category to my list of Flickr sets. It currently has about 20 photos, most of them have already been posted on older versions of this site or on the old blog, but I think it’s nice to bring them all together. There is one new one, though:

Also, did you know that Flickr was actually owned by Yahoo? Interesting, because I never really like yahoo - always perferred google to it. Looks like that changed yesterday when I bought the Flickr Pro account.

Christmas 2005 and more changes

I just added pictures (well, frames from the movies, the pictures are a bit dull) from Christmas 2005 (or should I say 2006 because of finding a time that we were all free). Take a look at them here.
I also did got rid of the old pictures page and the dummie page, adding all of the sub pages to their correct pages. On the right sidebar of “literature” and “movies” you can see the subpages aka the actual literature and movies. I have the crusader series up, embedded through youtube. Finally, I added a flickr sidebar thing that shows 5 random images and links to the photo page to remind people of it just for fun and because it looks cool. I also added the sub-title under Netsua.com “Everyone’s favorite person - only backwards”.
I plan to get a real banner soon, I just have to figure out how to do it and maybe get some of aaron’s help on this. You can see some banners that I did in this photoset along with other images that help make up the site like the new pictures that go on the movies and literature page that show pen writing something and my camera.

Sorry about the recent inactivity, but I’ve been trying to get a new template up with aaron. It’s not working too well, but in the next few days you’ll probably see it. One of the few themes I’m thinking of using is the theme below, but there are others I might use.]
