LauniArt.com redesign

Saturday, November 29th, 2008

I removed Joomla from my launiart.com web site. Joomla is great for a community site so it was not getting the use it deserves at my personal art site. I decided to redesign the site using static XHTML pages.

The site only has one page but I look forward to developing it into a site that will showcase my drawings. I like hand coding XHTML pages. I will experiment with making the site as graphic as I want and not care about making the layout appeal to my usual corporate or education customers.

launiart.com is born

Saturday, June 7th, 2008

So I am pleased to announce the birth of my new web site launiart.com.  I purchased the domain today and I will work on migrating the data.  I will continue to sign my art work launi!

I rebuilt my FC 5 box that I have had since 2002 into a Windows Vista Ultimate box.  I splirged on the graphics card and the monitor.  My old P3 laptop was 8 years old and I could not do nay serious graphic or web development on it any more.

JJ and Josh smallWell here I am at work at 3 AM re-booting computers that may have gotten wacked by an electrical storm here in Austin. This is one of the responsibilities that one takes on when you have to keep stuff working.

Yesterday it was so hot in the office that we decided to do an old school air conditioner. We got a fan and opened up the regridgerator and cooled off.
