oh whut, again ?

ok ok, i can safely say this will be the last time (in a long while) the main koleksigr is now in tumblr (http://koleksigr.tumblr.com/) check it out
i'll give you the quick run though of the advantages

like any modern websites it makes use of server side includes (those are php pages which any html is dynamically altered according to certain specifications and fetches, which i can't for the life of me figure out how to code manually)

one html / css for all
(that means i only need to alter the html / css on one page and it is changed for all, unlike previously when i change one code in a page i have to make the same changes for all the others, this obviously gets more tedious the more pages i have)

everything can be edited online
(why yes, super, no more relying on ftp clients which disconnects a lot and take ridiculously long times to upload tiny kbs of files)

tags and organization of data
(oh, server side includes again, posts can be reorganized to how you want to see things, using tags, awesome, when i want to add content to a page for example previously i have to fire up dreamweaver, edit a line of coding, then reupload the new html, now i can just add a post and it'll organize itself accordingly)

auto refresh and hopefully some google
(mmm, now the currently working on is -actually- current instead of a browser cache of the same picture, plus theres a better possibility of it being indexed on google, on zymichost the chance is quite close to 0 because i dunno the code)

an added bonus is that my previous design can almost faithfully be reproduced in tumblr's advanced theme editor

the only thing is that cannot use javascript on pages (darn), no biggie, the easyslider.js for the comics are cool but not very practical so i wouldn't really miss that (sniff), and the final project page which has the prettyphoto.js is still on zymichost so that'll still work

ohya, darn, no iframe, it's not a ww3 standard but i totally abuse it, well i need it for the chatbox so i'll find a way somehow

ah, kay then, longest post i ever made

23 June 2010

whuu, some update

well, not either comics,
final project and grad campaign hogging up too much time,
but there was a bit done for the maintenance part,
moved most of the images from dropbox to google,
the unnoticable difference is that it loads slightly faster,
also i think i've been abusing dropbox too long,
plus i got rid of the shadows after a long thought,
yea it looks cool, but it makes browser render the site slower,
but it's the content that's king right ? right ?

long time ago i googled my name

there wasn't much results
just one entry of me getting second place
in some art competition back in isa
after 4 years just for fun googled again

whuuut is this ?! there's suddenly a boom
in people called jared ramos
hogging up my beautiful google first page results
lool
one from california, another from quezon city,
another from philippines and some which i can't identify

anywho, the first result was pern's blog entry about my pudu
which is nice in a way, but i lost my competition page
from 4 years ago, darn, should have screenshottedit

i've been to a&w

they've changed their trademark glass mugs
to the standard fastfood paper cups
i'm going to miss those heavy glasses
i think even their plates are paper now

besides that there was a blackout today
lightning caused some switch to flip off
the annoying bit was that it was only my house
lasted around 6 hours, that's also why i
walked to a&w, to kill time, hahaha

oh, and somehow zk knows about my webbie
probably the last person i expected to
have found out, the integrity of my
"9 people who knows my site" statement
is now compromised

26 May 2010

eeee

shing shing like my cat and dog
happyyyy, hahaha
which means my webbie is somehow getting
attention from ppl outside dg
waitaminute, what am i saying ?
6 of the 9 ppl who knows my site is not from dg
puh

21 May 2010

yes yes yes

i now has rounded corners, how awesome is that,
anyway, i've been reading a lot about iframe and why
it should not be used cos it's not a valid w3 standard,
but i've been using it a lot and it seems compatible
with all the major browsers, so i don't really know
what the big fuss is about

anyway took out chunks from the header and footer to
keep to my minimalistic theme

also, tried looking around for methods on how to auto
refresh or auto clear browser cache so the end user
(you) don't have to but failed miserably
so i guess you're stuck to manually refreshing the
pages from time to time, yea

ohya, if you're still using the old rss feed, do
change to the new one, feeds.feedburner.com koleksigr-twitter

19 May 2010

pooh

spent the whole day with a friend from miri i haven't seen since 2004
around 830pm walked him back to the train station
that was the furthest i walked away from sunway pyramid
felt so proud

oh, deviantart website layout changed
looks zoomed in but any artsite that shows more of the artwork is welcomed

18 May 2010

ohya

did i mentioned i have suddenly become-ed co president of a group of 145 students ?
on another note, this batch is doomed

15 May 2010

puh, school

seems zymchost is down on my side for a while
(edit) oh ok, seems to be back now

10 May 2010

sweet peas, finalleh

http://koleksigr.zymichost.com/index.html

whoa whoa whoa, i can't even begin to say
what are the things that has changed since i last
uploaded the files to the server
all i can say is look around and see if you can find
the new stuff on your own
for those using css3 complaint browsers
(those using webkit or gecko rendering engine)
(or less savvy, latest safari, firefox and chrome)
some buttons has gradients, yes, if you look carefully
and other mish mash
plus most of the comics are now unflashed
(nyeh sofia, you has no reason not to see my comic anymore, hahaha)

anywho, totally neglected my responsibility for final project
probably should get back to that soon

21 April 2010

site update

http://koleksigr.zymichost.com/index.html

nothing too obvious though
rewrote all the pages to make use
of div and css and totally scrap tables,
in theory this is suppose to help in
the long run

can totally check it out by right clicking
and view page source, or view source, or source,
whatever browser you're on,
yes, very exciting

anywho, just wanted to write something
oh, new favicon too

11 April 2010

darn you internet explorer

just realized my site was rendered crappy ly
on internet explorer,
firefox, safari and chrome was all ok looking,
well, opera was a bit funky,
but not as funky as ie
but no matter, i think i fixed that somehow

10 April 2010

poop da whoop

so anyway freehostia's ftp is a bit messed up
and their web uploader has a cap of 500kb a file,
now then ben indirectly introduced me to zymichost
whose ftp's ok but there seems to be no other way
of uploading files to their host,
plus p1 seems to be having an unusual amount of
maintenance days causing internet lag which effects
uploading to freehostia zymic and even dropbox,
but anyway just to let you know there's now
http://koleksigr.freehostia.com/
http://koleksigr.zymichost.com/
so if there's no content on one there should be
some on the other

06 April 2010

weebly was fun

i kinda knew this was coming, just not so soon
moved the koleksi to freehostia, where i get to
fully edit all html and css scripts
it's like a proper host kinda thing

but at the same time i'll miss weebly
i've had almost absolutely no complaints while i was there
it really was the 'make your own website for the average guy'
kinda site,
but that meant you have to use the sites page builder
it's like stripping down a scientific calculator to its
bare numbers, you're sacrificing advanced options for
ease of use,

i guess overall, i was quite happy using weebly, and if
anything should ever happen, i'll just move the site back

can junk food be considered addictive

according to the article
a few decades ago, the drug cocaine was likened to junk food,
meaning it wasn't a serious problem and a simple measure of taking away
the drugs can stop people from continuing to abuse it,
years later cocaine is considered a serious addiction problem,
now junk food is considered a serious addiction problem,
theres studies linking the addiction of cocaine and junk food are caused by similar effects,

so yea, don't blame the fat people

although i'll still stick with cs3
i misss flash mx, sniff

computers are sexist

hahahaha, kinda true though
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/scotland/edinburgh_and_east/8548131.stm
probably the easiest solution is to just
read the brainwaves so computers can directly
understand the thoughts of people
1984 anyone ?
