2008/12/23: Vacation
I'll be out of town until the 30th. I'll be bringing my portable Wacom with me so I might work on some non-Unity strips. On the plus side, I have buffered Unity updates until the 30th anyway, so there shouldn't be any interruptions in the regularly-scheduled updates. I just thought you should know.
Also I have a poll going on over in the completely-unused forum, if you want to comment. One of the things I plan on doing while I'm on vacation is attempting to improve the site layout, so I'd like to know sooner rather than later.
2008/12/18: Transcript embedding HOWTO
For those who are interested, I've written up an
explanation of how I embed Oh No Robot transcripts, in case any other comic authors want to use it as well.
2008/12/11: An interview
So, Bengo and I got in a
conversation about comics and content management systems. Go ahead and read it if you like hearing all the boring details about why I think Movable Type is better for comics and site management than WordPress.
2008/12/04: So more transcript neatness!
Now it's even easier to see transcripts for comics. I'm thinking of ways of improving it though, like maybe clicking 'transcript' makes it pop up in a little floaty window on the page or something, but that leads to other potential problems (but probably less problematic than how the navigation buttons get covered by the transcript right now). I'm open to suggestions.
I have to admit that I mostly did this so that Google would see the transcripts when it crawled my site, and being able to make it visible was just a bonus.
2008/12/02: Update frequency
If you ever wonder why I only update 2-3 times a week, consider that I
could always
take shortcuts but I don't think I could live with myself. (I do occasionally reuse backgrounds and rough layouts and I feel guilty enough about that as is!)
