September 8, 2004 @ 2:02 PM So, here's my TCNJ website. We had to integrate some frames into it, which I would otherwise never do, but I did it and the result isn't at all bad, I don't think. - Webmaster Kate September 9, 2004 @ 9:34 AM Experimenting more with the frames for this website. I'm thinking about changing the frames code to open in different windows than I have them set in now. - Webmaster Kate September 14, 2004 @ 11:45 AM Changed the background for most of the navigation pages to make the visual scheme more consistent. I have also written my design proposal for this site. I will create a better place to store it as I expand this site. - Webmaster Kate September 14, 2004 @ 2:31 PM Traded in the navigation scheme of several small graphics to one large graphic with lots of hot links on it. Also added a journal page to store old entries and some galleries for each class I am in. With the exception of the Previous Work gallery, there is precious little content in any of the galleries as yet. That, however, is bound to change as the semester progresses. - Webmaster Kate September 23, 2004 @ 1:51 PM Added some new content to the Time Media - 2D Art and Design - 2D Art Galleries. I have a few animations I am working towards figuring out how to add to the site. - Webmaster Kate September 30, 2004 @ 4:53 PM I am now learning Flash. Consider this navigation scheme a thing of the past by semester's end. - Webmaster Kate October 8, 2004 @ 10:19 AM Completed Status Report 1 for the website. I have got some big plans for revamping the galleries. I think they are spread too thin, considering the amount of content so far. - Webmaster Kate October 11, 2004 @ 9:12 PM Working on a new rollover navigation bar for the website. As soon as I figure out how Flash actions treat websites, I will implement it here. - Webmaster Kate October 15, 2004 @ 12:12 PM Added a new Flash button to the front page here and added some lovely Time Media content I am very proud of. - Webmaster Kate October 21, 2004 @ 8:34 PM Modified some of the content in the galleries and the CGI script for the feedback section though I am still having some problems with that. - Webmaster Kate October 28, 2004 @ 7:04 PM Did a little CGI tweaking with the help of my lab partner. Now the Feedback section works nicely. - Webmaster Kate November 11, 2004 @ 3:34 PM Worked some more on my Freeze Tag game. It's looking nice but I'm going to have to work out carefully part 2 of the lab. - Webmaster Kate November 27 2004 @ 6:12 PM Thanksgiving! I'm working on a massive Flash game over the break that will be both my final Interactive Computing project and supplementary to my final Design Perspectives project. - Webmaster Kate December 6, 2004 @ 5:10 PM Finally finished lab 7 with the help of a friend. A programming-genius friend. We worked on it together and I am very, very pleased with the results. Go check it out! This means the completion of labs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. 10 is extra credit, leaving me lots of time to finish my final project. :) Go to my Chinese website and visit the Games section to see the W.I.P. - Webmaster Kate December 17, 2004 @ 9:30 AM Finals presentation. Wish me luck! - Webmaster Kate May 31, 2005 @ 4:53 PM Happy Memorial Day everyone and a genuine Thank you to those who fought and died to save our lives. As you can see, I've made a bunch of updates/changes to the site. Changed the banner as this site is no longer solely for IMM 120 and frankly never was, was just created as a *project* in IMM 120 and I kept adding on to it. I still plan to make a bunch more changes to the site, but for now, go check out the Galleries. - Webmaster Kate June 21, 2005 @ 6:41 PM Updated the site with a more streamlined, simplified look. Also changed my schedule. Have a look, I'm really proud. I'm an Honors student now! - Webmaster Kate June 23, 2005 @ 1:01 PM Updated the Freelance gallery, the Links section, and the About section. - Webmaster Kate June 28, 2005 @ 12:34 PM Finally turned the Feedback section into something usable. Apparently PHP is a lot better than CGI. Who'dve thunk it? :) Now that the feedback function works, I expect to hear from you! - Webmaster Kate July 5, 2005 @ 7:03 PM Belated Happy 4th of July! Apologies for the delay in updating, I've just moved into my new digs for the summer (some lovely townhouses), which meant I had to haul all of my stuff (and in the process, sprain a toe. That's right, I sprained my toe. Can you think of a more pathetic injury??) across campus in 2 hours. Wow is all I can say. Been working on my mom's genealogy website the last few days. Exploring PHP and MySQL to better develop it. So far, it's really cool! Expect some PHP overhauls to this site soon! In the meantime, updated the Webfairy graphics gallery and I have some site templates that I'm considering for a redesign of this site. Have a look and vote in the poll (handled by PHP)! - Webmaster Kate July 5, 2005 @ 7:34 PM Updated the About Section. I'm gathering quite a list there! - Webmaster Kate July 13, 2005 @ 11:31 AM Fixed a little bug in the poll. There was nothing wrong with the script, I just changed the layout of the radio buttons and the variable names didn't come too. It should work now. - Webmaster Kate Jul 13, 2005 @ 8:32 PM Fixed one remaining bug in the poll with the radio buttons. This way, I won't be getting votes for "arttechoriginal" templates because that would just be crazy! Also put some of my new PFM work up in the Freelance Gallery. Go there and have a look! On a side note, the person who a) knows how to pass a variable from a Flash document to a PHP script and b) goes to the Feedback Section and lets me know how or gives me his or her further contact info to work it out, will be the sun of my existence. OK, maybe not that drastic. But you can have the rest of my pizza. And those of you who haven't voted in the poll, do so!! I love to get the feedback. - Webmaster Kate July 13, 2005 @ 12:43 PM Working on a PHP script for a Guestbook function for the site. Isn't that cool?? Well, I'm just starting it and I'm having some problems, but I'm really excited about it. - Webmaster Kate August 16, 2005 @ 5:02 PM Hello people! Sorry for the suddenly-long absence..lots to do in preparation for the upcoming schoolyear. In the meantime, updated the Photography gallery, the Freelance gallery, and put a new poll up (I'll tally the results of the first in a bit). Vote in the new poll! Please! - Webmaster Kate August 18, 2005 @ 4:39 PM Check out the new Tutorials section! Whee! It's an iron that's been in the fire for almost a year, but now I've (finally) gotten a chance to organize it! Only one is all completed for publication so far, but I have several more that I'm fixing up. Check back for more! - Webmaster Kate August 19, 2005 @ 5:42 PM Updated the Links section quite a bit. Apparently it's proper to link to your peers/people you respect, so there we go. :) - Webmaster Kate August 24, 2005 @ 4:24 PM Added a new tutorial and reshuffled the Links section a little. - Webmaster Kate September 3, 2005 @ 7:31 PM Hello. Back at school now. I'll be updating this site periodically when I have more stuff to go on it, but in the meantime, here's a question that has been at me for quite a while now. I'd be interested in the input of others. What do you really, honestly believe will happen to you after you die? I'll post my thoughts at some point soon. I might incorporate the responses into an art project of some sort a bit later but right now, I'd really like to know what others think. - Webmaster Kate September 19, 2005 @ 1:01 PM Added a new Section to the site of humorous or interesting quotes from people I know. Go see if you're there! - Webmaster Kate September 19, 2005 @ 4:09 PM Also added some really cool Media Effects video content in the new class's gallery. - Webmaster Kate November 2, 2005 @ 3:05 PM Put up a new drawing in the 2D Art Gallery. - Webmaster Kate November 21, 2005 @ 8:19 PM New drawing, new poll, and some new quotes. Also, updated the journal page (though I'd like to get that all run with PHP soon enough). Oh, and Happy Birthday to Sean Potucek! - Webmaster Kate December 16, 2005 @ 9:13 PM Hooray for being done with tough finals! Also, added a couple of new quotes, turns out I'm frighteningly close to 100 cherished quotes! The person who comes up with the 100th quote should get a prize, I think. - Webmaster Kate January 8, 2006 @ 8:23 AM Hello. Haven't updated the front page in a while, thought I might do that. I've been putting together some course projects and things to add from the fall semester to this site. Also, I cannot seem to remotely connect to my TCNJ database, no matter what. If anyone can give me some pointers or stuff they've tried, I'd really appreciate the help. Just use the feedback form or email me, if you know my email. In other news, I am brushing up on my Perl skills for my new job at TCNJ!! I'm very excited for this opportunity. Thanks again Dr. DePasquale and Andy Stutzman! - Webmaster Kate February 3, 2006 @ 4:04 PM Hello! Just testing some comments stuff! - Webmaster Kate February 5, 2006 @ 4:32 PM Hello! I'm very excited to announce the PHP-modding of this website! The updates on the front of this site and in the journal page are now PHP-powered and generated. Also, the Quotes Page is now entirely PHP and database-driven. Check out the Quotes count function at the top of the page. As of this writing, there are 114 cherished quotes. Is one of them from you? Expect some more PHP overhauls and updates to this site soon. - Webmaster Kate June 2, 2006 @ 4:46 PM Well, here we go! A practically-new, much improved website launch. I've transferred this entire site over to PHP, with dynamic generation of headers, footers, and various other components. I've also gotten rid of the (*gag*) frames and switched to div tags. I figure, it's a better idea to, as my friend Andrew says, let the website do the work. My CSS skills have been much sharpened with this exercise, too. The style for everything is dictated by an externally-linked CSS file. In other news, I'm working in the Summer Research Program at TCNJ right now. I just finished creating the website for the project. Take a look at it; you can see that I no longer fear CSS. - Webmaster Kate June 3, 2006 @ 10:03PM Ni hao! Just putting the finishing touches on the new site design. Also figured out how to upload my video projects without devouring too much of my webspace or slowing down too many ISPs. I'm using the Flash 8 video encoder to make the .movs into .flvs, which means sick compression. We're talking going from 153mb to 4.4mb. Anyway, once they're in .flv (Flash video) format, I store them on the server, then provide the hyperlink to the Flash file (the .fla), and publish the resultant .swf file on the page. Go here to see the first upload. You need the Flash 8 player to view it, don't forget. Download that here. - Webmaster Kate June 5, 2006 @ 9:09 AM Greetings! Some of my SWF files in the Flash Gallery were corrupted, so I had to remove the links while they're down for maintainence. Oh well, they'll be back soon. Not much else to tell at the moment. I got the Admin section working, with some help from a fellow programmer. Good to know that you really shouldn't write .htaccess files on a Mac. He'd probably say you shouldn't do anything on a Mac, but that's where we disagree. In other news, happy birthday to me. - Webmaster Kate June 5, 2006 @ 4:27 PM Finally! The rest of my video work has been uploaded! Go to the Video Gallery to see them. Please note that if you'd like an even better-quality version of any of this work, I'll be happy to oblige. Just let me know! - Webmaster Kate June 6, 2006 @ 10:54 AM OK. This site's subfolder permissions are now locked up nice and tight. This site is pretty much modded. I need something else to work on....maybe an ACM site redesign... Not much else to tell right now. Working away for DADT and the Summer Research Program. And while I won't actually be going to SIGGRAPH this year (can't afford it), my name will be on Phil's Studio project, giving me something of an in to enter stuff next year. I'm thinking about modifying Quietus into something interactive, as they go more for that than straight-up digital video work. I had sushi last night for my birthday. - Webmaster Kate June 6, 2006 @ 11:55 AM All right, finally updated the Drawing Gallery to be much easier to navigate. Im going to be updating the rest of the 2D Art galleries to be like that one as soon as possible. - Webmaster Kate June 11, 2006 @ 11:11 AM Hello again! I've finished updating the 2D art and Maya galleries to a cool Flash interface. Check 'em out! Also, I've been updating and upgrading the ACM website and my mom's website as something cool to do at the moment. I've also got a new book with some cool Flash hacks to try out. I can't wait to give this stuff a shot. My buddy Andrew and I went to the Merchantville Birthday Party this weekend and thrift store hopping and shopping. It was pretty cool. I actually found and purchased one of those old desk clocks with the numbers that flip forward when the time changes. It's not an alarm clock, but it's still really cool. I intend to get some good use out of it. - Webmaster Kate June 13, 2006 @ 2:15 PM I'm having some computer troubles at the moment. :( Pray for my 400GB external. - Webmaster Kate June 15, 2006 @ 1:53 PM So the ACM site is almost completely overhauled. I'm about to start work in earnest on Lizzytish. Meanwhile in summer research, development for the content for Studio Array is going along nicely. Andrew and I are learning more about Javascript now. Since the program is going to be completely web-based, it's going to have to be powered by stuff like Flash and Javascript, at least for the time being. I don't yet know much Ajax and since we only have about a month left, there isn't much time to learn it for this project. I explained some of my PHP scripts to Andrew yesterday, including those I wrote for the priliminary ProfRecord program. Keeping all confidential information out of it, of course. He has to learn it for the database project he's working on with Dr. Pulimood. - Webmaster Kate June 21, 2006 @ 10:35 AM Behold the Studio prototype. It's a functioning community story-telling application. You can add to an online story and add an illustration, or start a new story. Choose an illustration by determining one through navigating the QTVR on the webpage. You need to have Flash, Javascript, and Quicktime enabled on your browser to view this. Speaking of which, I've not been terribly impressed with Linux distros of late. It's a good operating system to be sure and better than Windows in many respects, but it took me hours just to try to play a .wav file embedded on a webpage. Isn't Linux supposed to be a better alternative operating system because it's easier to use? I just don't know. Maybe I'll experiment with Mepis some more later since that wasn't the one I was trying last night. I'm starting to like Macs more, actually. They're rarely problematic. The worst thing so far is the bad sound quality, which can easily be remedied with some external speakers. I'll think about it. In other news, does Nintendo ever want to be taken seriously again? - Webmaster Kate July 13, 2006 @ 10:39 AM Hello! - Webmaster Kate July 24, 2006 @ 9:05 AM Well, my site has officially "made it". The spambots of the internet have picked up on my Contact form. I'm getting an average of 3 - 5 pieces of spam mailed to me that way per day. Stuff about homeowning and prescription drugs without a prescription. You know, all that fascinating stuff. Oh well. I might end up taking it down if there gets to be too much spam, but for now, I'll leave it. Or may be just externally link the email address from a protected file or something, I don't know yet. Going to get started helping Matt make his video presentation for Baltimore today. I had to bring the laptop, my video camera, and the tripod on the train this morning. - Webmaster Kate August 3, 2006 @ 10:33 AM Back from Baltimore! The conference went very well; Matt's presentations were very well-received. As soon as I finish uploading the completed products, I'll see if I'm allowed to put them up here. Had to redo some of the CSS in the layout here as it didn't work well with IE. Now it seems to, hopefully. - Webmaster Kate August 13, 2006 @ 9:09 PM I'm sleepy. I haven't got much to update here at the moment. Have to get started on another TCNJ Alumni project next week. But Matt just emailed me and told me that I'm going to need to help him during the Contribute workshop tomorrow, so that's the priority tomorrow. I get to write a guestbook in Flash too. Yay! - Webmaster Kate August 14, 2006 @ 2:59 PM Hello! Up at TCNJ working today. The Contribute workshop went well, Matt had the participants make the cutest pretend ice cream shoppe web page (Lion Ice). He got me all interested, thinking there was a TCNJ ice cream shop on campus now. :) That would be cool. But it's not true. Oh well. - Webmaster Kate August 19, 2006 @ 4:38 PM Wow. Eight hours of house cleaning. It was exhausting, but we made a lot of cleaning progress, which is always good. - Webmaster Kate August 26, 2006 @ 1:51 PM Day before I head back to TCNJ for another fun-filled semester. Im almost packed and I have my work for the week for Matt done. - Webmaster Kate January 27, 2007 @ 8:34 PM Added some more Flash content to the Gallery. Also started work on my Web Design II site and my Interactive class website. Also retouched the ACM - TCNJ Chapter site. Suffice it to say, I've been busy. Fun though. - Webmaster Kate May 5, 2007 @ 9:22 PM Egad! I've been hacked! I have to make some mechanical corrections to this site, but I also have a ton of stuff to upload soon. Just letting you all know I'm still alive. Because I know you were worried. - Webmaster Kate July 25, 2007 @ 6:36 PM Scanned some of my photos and drawings, should be able to post them to the Gallery soon. - Webmaster Kate October 22, 2007 @ 3:02 PM Wow, I've been busy. Working on my senior thesis project and creating some cool new content. Look for an update soon! - Webmaster Kate |
