It's May and Shurinpu is still not up. But hey, its not completely neglected. I've been kept busy over the last months out in the real world. But its been a good thing. I've been learning a lot. I think I know what I want to do with this site. It's becoming more clear, I guess.
Among the things I've done over the past months, is learn a bit of Dreamweaver. Currently that's what I'm using to update this page. For years I had been handcoding everything with Textpad and using some sort of FTP program. Looking back, it all feels archaic, though I'm still glad I learned to hand code. Dreamweaver just keeps everything in one place for me. Its kind of neat to see my updates without having to go open a browser or upload it to the server.
I think working with Dreamweaver is a step in getting Shurinpu back up. Everything will be organized neatly, so I have more incentives to work. I think thats been keeping me from working. In the past, while I was away at school, I had files scattered across three different machines and also losing things in various reformats. Now that Dreamweaver is set up, can start coding again. Working with HTML everday at my job has definitely helped also. I can't make the excuse of "I don't remember how to code!" anymore. Things will get moving in the next upcoming weeks. So far, two updates in a year, I think thats progress! Really, think about how long has that whelp been up there. ;)
It's been a long time since this little whelp has graced Shurinpu's front page. Finally this little whelp will grow into the drake that it should have been some years ago. I feel like I should keep the original design I had in mind when I first started working on this page. I don't exactly remember where I was going, but I want to stay closely to the original vision.
Aside from comission work, I've been out for too long. Shurinpu needs to return. My goal for the site is to put up a porfolio of all the web work and pixel art I've done. My other goal for this site is to have a design blog. I hope to showcase any miscellaneous projects I've taken on through the year. This little entry is the start! Next step is to get the rest of the site up.
