Basically spent all day in FireAlpaca, because I want to bring you more pages! Here's the first one for the underground section, comparing the outputs of seven different MP3 encoders and explaining why seven programs that all say they do the same thing come up with completely different results. It's a spergy rabbit hole, but hey, there's cute animal people. Everyone wins. (It's one from the old site, but the text has been completely redone and there's a new song being compared. Give it another read.)
If you're wondering what pages are currently started and what state they're in, here's where I'm at:
- The Games That Shaped Me (aboveground): Text is finished, header image is finished. Needs a bunch more flavor illustrations.
- The Albums That Shaped Me (aboveground): Text is started. Very preliminary.
- Cammy's MIDI Stockpile (underground): Text is finished, just needs a header illustration.
- Various other pages from the old site, like the scorekeeping pages or the photo galleries: No header images just yet, probably text will be rewritten. Port jobs are a lot easier than new pages though, so once I come up with something good for Setter to do on them and I draw it, you'll see them not long after.
cammy.somnol is now on the fast track to being possibly my favorite site I've ever built. Spent so long admiring sites like Caby's that have a lot of personality and aren't terribly technical or complex, and now I've got that with my own name on it! Very pleasing. I've also been redoing some of the illustrations and images, relining them, fixing inconsistent Setters, making sure they're at the ideal dimensions like I haven't originally been making them at, so yeah. The polish is starting to build up. I think I got something really good going.
It's only a shame I'm really starting to get into a groove with drawing right before I take this big, long trip, so I'm trying to make the most of this headwind before the 17th. The good news is I'll still have a few weeks of sitting at home while I apply and look for new jobs when I get back, so hopefully I can keep the streak going into July when I come back. (Course, then is Art Fight, and I still have refs to do... I'll fit it all in. I'm enjoying the sprint.)
