You'll never guess what I did today. No, really. You won't believe it even if I tell you. I think you'd better just click here and see for yourself.
With that in mind, can you guess where I am this weekend? The land of unfailing productivity, it seems...

Among a few other tweaks here and there throughout the site, the Special Comics section has returned! Now that's something to get excited about! =D

And now, comments on gallery images are once again enabled!

Guestbook functionality has returned!

...Not that anyone uses it, but just thought I'd post the update.

EDIT: Also, if you're a registered member, the forums now track the new posts that you have and have not seen! (None are new, at this point. Maybe you should fix that...?)

Updates on this new layout continue! At the request of many users - not that I wasn't going to do this anyway - you can now edit your forum user profiles. (Wow, that was far more of a pain than I could have expected. O_o) Give it a try, and let me know if you run into any troubles along the way!

Yes, this is something that should have been in place originally, but I wanted to make sure to get the bulk of the primary stuff done for the new year, and tackle the rest of the site in time. As such, further updates will follow!

Happy New Year!
It's 2010; a brand new decade!
(Well, ok, technically not, but that's dumb.)

But with the new year comes a fresh new layout! This one's been on the deck for a while now, but I resolved to finish it by today! (Even though it took every ounce of effort I could muster. ._.) In addition to a new look, it's also been redesigned behind the scenes in such a way that will make it run a lot smoother and easier to update, as opposed to the archaic system I had in place originally from back before I knew what the heck I was doing. So, have a look around, and let me know what you think!

There is some more work to be done yet, so stay tuned for further tweaks and additions. Also, if you happen to spot any errors of any sort, please let me know! Either post in the forums or email me!

Oh, and by the way, Rabbit Rabbit Rabbit! =D

Happy Halloween!
Err, I mean...
Merry Christmas!
Sorry, computer scientists sometimes get those confused. =P

Hope everyone has a great holiday!
As is the case every year - and as has been the case throughout this whole year, come to think of it - I've been keeping extremely busy. Fear not, though; I'm working on your present...! =D

Also, for those that are unaware, it seems like there's some Christmas festivities going on in the forums. Hopefully those guys won't mind if you stop in and have a look!

Wow, looks like I've been neglecting something here the past three months, huh? What can I say, other than the norm: I've been keeping very busy lately.

Ok, actually I have a lot more to say than that. I won't bore you with details, but here's a quick summary of everything noteworthy that's happened in the past three months, in no particular order (an "unordered list", if you will).

• I finished my education college program. What a relief! That was perhaps the most work - or at least the most densely packed work - I've had to endure in recallable history. What was essentially a three-year program condensed into four semesters, further condensed into a year. Thank goodness that's over. ._. But now I've got official certification to show for it!
• I got my own apartment. First time living entirely on my own, and it's an exciting and new experience, but demands a lot of responsibility. Lots of bills to handle all on my own, etc. Not to mention, I underestimated the amount of "stuff" I'd have to buy to adequately equip my living space. Like the job itself as reported earlier, the apartment too is in a very nice area, and it's quite conveniently located in the middle of town. Other than that, it's quite average, and nothing to elaborate upon.
• I started my new job that I mentioned earlier. Once again, I'm now a fully fledged high school teacher, teaching Algebra and Computer Science at the moment, and slated for assorted other Math classes and maybe Physics down the road. This too is exciting yet intimidating, being thrust into this new working environment in which malleable young minds are looking up to me for guidance! O_o I pity them!
• Our annual trip to Tappan Lake
• Occasional travels to Columbus and Memphis
• Went to another furry convention
• Attended two more weddings, plus one that I didn't mention earlier
• Assorted minor art projects in the limited available time I have

And there's plenty more, too, but I'm running out of things that people here might actually care about. I wouldn't want to turn this news post into Twitter or something! ._.

So that approximately brings you all up to speed. Yeah, things continue to be busy as I'm now working this new job, which inherently also requires me to spend time outside of the classroom grading papers and preparing lessons, etc. Fortunately, I think I'm starting to get into the swing of this new routine, and finding time to work on fun stuff once in a while too. I mean, just look, I got around to updating my site's news! That's an achievement, right? Ideally, I hope to have some actual content up soon. It's been understandably dead here without regular updates, but I do look forward to talking to you everyone here again soon. Heck, even just the updated progress meter (!) prompted a few visitors to speak up; I didn't even realize I still had active visitors! Feel free to post, and keep in touch! Stay tuned for more updates now and then; hopefully now that I've posted something, I'll be more inclined to continue to do so. Until next time, I'm out for now!

Happy Fourth of July!
(there; that way, it applies equally to Americaners and otherwise =P)
*runs off to nom on corn*

Hey group, happy July! Rabbit rabbit rabbit! Is it just me, or is this year going by really fast...? Already halfway over...

Just a quick update today as to recent going-ons. Well, actually, I'll go right for the squimples: After about a week of interviews, I was offered - and accepted - my first job as a real high school teacher! (As opposed to the fake kind? @_@) It's not in the region I was hoping for, but I mustn't be too picky, considering the tough market and economy, and, in fact, this was the only district that so much as called me in the first place. And it certainly seems like a good one, too; the area seems very upscale and pretty, and the school itself is clean, modern, and just plain big, as far as I can tell. Also, I wasn't hired primarily as a math or physics teacher, which is surprising considering that's what I'm certified to be. Instead, they were most interested in my history with computer science, and so I'll be in charge of directing their programming class(es), as well as teaching geometry and algebra. Seems like I'm to be their versatile filler of whatever position they happen to have a need for, which is fine by me so long as it's something I can do.

So I think that's the only breaking news here. I'll keep y'all posted with anything else of moderate interest. Finally, a break from filling out all those darn applications... ._.
