New Host - Posted on 2005-03-10 23:09:04 EST by Shon

Well, my contract with my previous host FINALLY expired! Their servers were fairly fast and reliable when it came to the web site, but the e-mail and FTP servers were awful.

You'll notice some changes around the site, including the addition of the "Quickies" category under Artwork and a new (well, actually fairly old) image too

You also now have the ability to decide whether you want to see images with mature themes or not by clicking the link near the top of the Artwork page. If you have cookies enabled, your setting will be saved for the next time you visit as well.

There may be some glitches for a while as a result of the changes, but hopefully they should all be cleared up soon! If you notice something, don't hesitate to tell me!

I also removed some mostly un-utilized features and made some changes that I hope will streamline and improve the performance of the site. That said, I'm still in school and I still work full time, so there may not be any major updates for quite some time. I wish it weren't so, but it is

Small Update - Posted on 2004-08-21 01:13:27 EST by Shon

Hello everyone! I'm sure you're all wondering where I am (again), and I'm here to shed some light on the situation and roll out a bit of an update at the same time.

First of all, where I am: In school! That's right, I'm finally getting my education on track again. Unfortunately, since I can't afford to ditch my full time job... and I'm also now a full time student... well you can see where this is going, can't you? <G> My time is really limited now, so there may not be many updates for quite some time. I had been focusing on a new programming project, but now I have to face facts that I probably won't have time to finish it right now. I'll keep you all updated as things progress

Now for the update... unfortunately it's not content, just some updates to the website code. Here it is in all it's bullet list glory:

• The RSS Feed now contains the full text of my news updates.


• The RSS Feed also includes the date of the news item (I noticed how annoying the lack of this can be when I switched to a new RSS Aggregator)


• The look of the site has been updated a bit, and is now finally stylistically consistent again.


• The behavior of the download links in the Game Projects section has changed; now you can simply click the link to download the game. Windows XP SP2 discourages website designers from launching automatic downloads, so I had to stop using the easy way to count the number of hits on those files ;

Well, that's about it! Thank you for visiting Studios and I do hope to have some more positive news for you soon

Front Page Face Lift - Posted on 2004-05-15 22:01:03 EST by Shon

The other day I was looking at the front page for Studios and just thought it was really boring and stale... It needed to be more dynamic, exciting, alluring! ... Or something Anyway, you can see the result of this realization! Enjoy!

Update: I've applied the same design to several other pages around the site as well... I may continue to make small changes in this direction as time goes on
