Framework!

I decided to stop re-designing everything from scratch every time I found myself disatisfied with either the functionality or aesthetics of a test page. Instead, I handily busted out a sheet of graph paper and sketched out a basic framework of how I would want a site to look. After sketching it out, I used relative ratios to figure out just how tall & wide each square unit of the graph paper would be (48px * 48px, IIRC). From there, I could start writing mockup divs for each section. After getting a pretty firm grasp of how the page should turn out, I typed it out in Notepad++ and uploaded it to test it out. Although I expected to see an exact replica of what I sketched on paper, I fumbled a bit and accidentally used margin:auto; in a couple of places that I needed to specify no margin. A bit of tinkering later, the site came together pretty easily. I also decided to write a couple of perl scripts that interface with a mysql server as a bit of a tech demo. Anyway, here's the link:

I'll probably end up cooking up a few more framework designs in the near future. - Rex

Web Design ~ New Projects!

I've been propositioned to design a couple of websites recently, so I'm adding the test pages to my projects directory. Check 'em out! They will be updated periodically.

The Bombshell Bat Co.

These are obviously works in progress!


This is a simple test.

This box should be formatted to be approximately 96.5% of the width of this webpage. The background will be a solid drab green colour, and the outline should be a single pixel width gray line.

  • Lists are helpful
  • at portraying information
  • in an easily edible form.
  • They are very
  • useful for listing
  • product specifications.

Inserting images is a no-brainer!

Counter-Strike Source Server(s) Now Online! [11-Mar-2009]

Thanks to a local Computer Recycling depot, I was able to purchase a dual 3.066Ghz Xeon powered IBM xSeries 345 server for a measly sum of $40. This damn thing can resell for ~$800! For now I've got two 73GB SCSI drives in RAID-0 and 4GB's of ECC-DDR400 PC3200. This server will be hosting multiple game servers, but mostly Counter-Strike Source! Here's the IP address of my current server: 163.118.215.12:27015
Feel free to hop in at any time! P.S. If you're interested in getting a server for your clan, but don't have the cash.. contact me.

New web-design. I like the bright, high contrast colour scheme. Do you?

Counter-Strike Source: The game of the century.

There's really no denying it, Counter-Strike Source is the most popular online First Person Shooter available to PC gamers. Competitive play through online leagues such as CAL, TWL and CEVO is undoubtedly the most rigorous, stressing, and clan unifying gameplay a person could ever experience.
I mention this now, as I'm involved in a clan that has potential. I'm a proud member of First Strike Force.
If you're interested in competitive gaming, or simply finding a group that just likes to have fun; apply now!
