Working on Things
Work is currently underway on our new website Palabok.com. Specifically, the section of the site that will be the new home for my Lovarian Adventures webcomics.
My plan is to develop my very own comics engine and shoutbox clone for the new Lovarian site. I'll probably leave the forum off site where it currently is. I will also probably make the Lovarian pages more automated and modularised and place all the actual content on database tables.
Grand plans. But it may take a while to see it all through.
The new host at Brinkster.com is a Microsoft-shop host which supports ASP and ASP.NET technologies (and supposedly our account can handle PHP pages, too, but I haven't really tested that feature yet). Now, although Raquel and I are both quite skilled in developing web applications using classic ASP, we are still fairly new to ASP.NET and C#.
For us, one of the factors for getting a web host that supports ASP.NET technologies is so that we can create a web site and learn and practice using ASP.NET at the same time. It'll help us be more familiarised with a new language that we use at work.
Even though I can probably create all the necessary modules and automation I wanted for the website easily and quickly using classic ASP, I've decided to make this a learning experience by using C# anyway. And since I'll be using a language I'm not totally at ease with, building the new website has been slow.
I've spent my Saturday just trying to figure out the best way to show a pop-up window that shows all the smilies/emoticons you can use on the shoutbox clone I'm planning to make. Ah well.
I'll get there eventually. Once I get past all these hurdles at the start, I'm hoping things will get easier later on.
So, this weekend, I've spent my free time doing some C# web application coding. I'm sorry to say to my readers that I haven't done any work at all on another page update. But they shouldn't worry. I'm no longer thinking of giving up on the webcomic... for the time being. :P
Now, I was going to draw the design page (read my previous blog regarding my new web comic creation process) on Photoshop tonight but this afternoon I caught a bad cold while out to buy groceries.
So the rest of the afternoon and tonight was spent sneezing and coughing. I'm thinking of just getting a sickie (sick leave) tomorrow but I'm not sure if they'll be requiring me to get a GP (General Practitioner aka family doctor) to sign a medical certificate. Since I'm new here in Melbourne, I still don't have a GP so that may be more hassle than just going to work anyway. I just hope I feel better tomorrow.
Anyway, just saying that a lot is happening. If it weren't for this blasted cold, I would've done more tonight. But as it is, I just want to go to bed and sleep it off. With that, I bid you all good night.
