Portfolioso.com Link Buttons
Big thanks to just dnL and greenwizard88 from the middle_man forums for making me a link button for my site. They are similar and both very good. Greenwizard’s button works better on a light background site while dnL’s button works better on a dark background.
just dnL made this one: 
greenwizard made this one:
If you go to the bottom of my links page, I added the buttons and html code that you can copy to your site / Xanga or whatever. Check that out here
Started MouseTrax
I started my useless program called MouseTrax today. It’s purpose is to count how many times a person clicks the left mouse button, right mouse button, total mouse clicks, scroll wheel scrolls, mouse distance traveled, and total keyboard keys pressed.
Today I did two things. First things first – the layout. I made all the buttons and stuff that the actual program will have. It looks all nice and pretty. Next, I worked on some code to minimize it to the system tray no one wants to see a bug dumb program while it’s counting – it has to be out of the way. That reminds me – I need to make an option to make it start in the tray. That’s later on though with the counting code and the rest of the options box.
Estimated date until I finish this: Mid 2006. I plan to use this project when I take Visual Basic next year. Yes, before you yell at me, I do know C++ is better and more powerful, but it’s much harder to learn.
If anyone wants the completely non functional EXE to see the design, look at the about box etc, just ask me and I’ll give it to you.

Kids and their Xangas These Days

Kids and their Xangas make me laugh… They spend time finding all these hacks and mods to make fancy layouts and such. You all don’t realize that you can NOT use Xanga to have a professional looking blog. It’s so funny. It’s like trying to put some clothes on an apple to enhance the apple’s appearance. Instead of having any control of the layout whatsoever, people resort to these dumb little snippets of poorly written html or javascript to “trick out” their Xangas. You know what? You’re all special. I wrote this site in notepad to get a layout. You use the lazy ass blogger thingy. Of course, I don’t use notepad every time, I added a nice little blogging tool so I post things and it just updates. And it embeds itself into the layout I made in notepad. My main point: You lazy people, grab some free hosting and learn html.
It is much more efficient and professional to get a blog using PHP. You have full control over the layout and who can comment on posts. There are no html restrictions and no Ads.
