I was working on a CSS file, opened it up in Wordpad to change a line, reloaded it in Dreamweaver, tested the site a few times while saving the file and left the computer alone for a while to complete a large file transfer between drives. Came back and opened up my site and it was displayed without styling, so I opened up the CSS file to see if I made missed a } or something. Imagine my horror when the whole file is blank, just blank, and it’s still 5,8KB! I suppose that means the file is corrupt. Have googled all over the place without finding a solution to the problem, and I’ve never had this problem before either. I’ve switched between Wordpad and Dreamweaver a lot, but I guess things are different with either the new Wordpad or the CS3 version of Dreamweaver. Part of the file was based on my old CSS, but most of it was new stuff I had been finetuning for at least half a day this week making the new design as perfect as possible. Was going to post a quick snapshot of the new design so far, but now I’ll have to rework the entire CSS file instead. This too, sucks.

Entered a design contest today, the grand prize being a whooping $35. Spent about half an hour on the vector you see below, portrayed on the fifth page of the topic. Think I’ll win? The possibility exists.

Something I threw together this morning, simple loop. Download both the flash file and source below if you’re interested:

Shh, exclusive stuff in the making here, it’s for an upcoming movie in the making. Thoughts? Opinions? Gimme!

And for those interested, here’s the same logo vertically twisted:

My sister threw together this modest work of art recently.

When I was ten I used to draw obscene figures with Claris Works on my sisters brand new Mac Computer. Then I tried Paint, I played around with it for a while, started making layout images with Fireworks MX, drawing and animating with Flash, worked on a few vectors with illustrator, even created a couple of webcomics and other character designs. And suddenly I started believing that no decent creation could be made without a $400 Wacom. Did I get a $400 wacom? Nah, I just stopped actively drawing on my PC, which wasn’t a bad choice pre say since I’ve had much time left over for many other things, but the bottomline of this story without appearant moral is that you CAN draw good stuff on your computer without a $400 Wacom. So, I’ve been going back to drawing on my PC, with a crappy mouse, and it works just fine. No problem. It just takes much longer time than I would like it to. I’d rather just spend five minutes and then BOOM there’s a work of art, but things don’t work that way. Art doesn’t work that way. Anyway, there’s a new “brush” page up on CDB, place to post all my experimental Fireworks MX creations, so take a look at what occasionally pops up on the canvas. They’re not works of art since they take no more than five minutes to make, but whatever, it’s fun, you should try it. Go Go.
