Finally Got an Update

So… what has it been, six months since my last update? Close to it anyway. I figured it’s about time I put this blog to use again. I went ahead and updated Wordpress to 2.3.1 from 2.2.2, which means I was really out of date… Once the update was done, I picked a new template, grabbed my favorite plugins, and fixed up the template to get a good looking theme with the plugins I wanted. Always fun.

So, what’s been going on these past 6 months? School, school, school, and football. That pretty much sums it up. Between getting up for school at 6:30 in the morning, then not getting home until 7 to 7:30 afterwards, I was completely beat this year. Not to mention I had maxed out the amount of classes I’m taking. That never helps. But it all paid off. I earned second team all-district defense recognition and honorable mention all-Omaha (city I live in) defense. So, working that much paid off.

As far as my “internet life” goes, I’ve decided to get a little project up and finally going. Clear Sight RPG is finally back in the works. For those interested, more info can be found here on it. I hope to get it released or at least in beta by the end of winter/Christmas break… will I be able to? Hell if I know. But I truly hope so.

Another project I’ve been working on is a complete recode of SZ’s coding, for all three skins. So far, I’ve got v0 and v1 done, and am in the works with v2. I’ve cut out more then 12kb of total file size for v0 and v1. My next step is to try a suggestion of Dreggie’s that would result in loading all the scripting before loading any of the board by placing the codes to load in the global header. I figure it’s worth a try since it appears to work at another site he tried it at. Another thing I’m going to do is set a no-expire header so that users don’t have to re-download the coding all the time. (I may also do a 14 day or so one for images.) This would increase loading time again, and the coding can be told to redownload by appending a different number to the end of the string. Possibly the file version or something.

Well, that’s all for this entry. Hopefully I’ll keep using my blog and get you guys another entry out sometime in the near future. Oh, and new poll for you guys. =P
