Twistedsymphony’s Playground
The Saturn to 360 Adapter page has been created. That was probably my most interesting project over the last two years. The page is essentially a redux of the development process with lots of pictures (because everyone likes pictures, right?). Like this picture here made by RDC from Xbox-Scene as a logo for the project:
I’ve made some updates.
I’ve added a page about my Easy Button Hack. I’ve also added pictures to both the LED ring page and the Saturn Ion Gen Y page. The Saturn page will see another major update or two before it’s done but the Easy Button and LED ring pages are finished. A few other things have been spruced up here and there as well. Check it out!
I was talking to someone yesterday who mentioned having browsed around the site and they asked me if it was finished/how much I had left to do…
well… the site IS finished it’s just not completely populated yet, though I don’t think it ever will be. That’s kind of the point though, as I have need to post about my projects online I’ll add them to the site here. As it is I’m simply waiting for someone to ask me about a particular project, before I get around to putting it here… eventually I’ll get everything up but why post it if it’s not necessary.
SO… this made me realize how empty the site felt which led to the feeling of it being “under construction”. This is very poor on my part as leading your viewers to believe that a site is under construction is just bad practice. To remedy this I’ve removed all of the empty “placeholder” pages. So now if you see a page, you’ll find that there is something in it when you click the link. Some pages have more info than others but there are no more blank pages. The placeholders will come back when I have something to put inside of them.
I feel horrible that not only have I neglected to work on this page but I’ve gone quite a while without any thoughthead.com updates as well.
I’ve been unholy busy with nintendo-scene, my real job, and trying to get my car situation settled and most of the free time I have on top of that has been going towards playing Halo 3, just because I need some time to unwind.
So here’s what’s gone on:
The Car Situation: I bought a White 1999 Toyota Tacoma… I sold my Black 1994 Toyota Pickup, I’ve been working on fixing up the Red 1995 240sx for sale (still not finished) and just Saturday I picked up a Black 1995 240sx. So I’ve still got to finish working on the red one, put that up for sale once it’s ready, register/inspect/title the black one then it’s getting a new exhaust put on and once the red one is sold the black one is getting an SR20DET.
The Thoughthead Situation: I’ve got a total of 7 inquiries from people interested in writing for thoughthead. I’ve given every one of them the necessary tools and all of the information they need. All they need to do is write something, and so far not a single one of them has written anything (with the exception of the one random article by Ackerhack before my public request for new writers).
Half of the reason I haven’t written anything is due to other convictions and the other half is that I haven’t really been inspired by the industry lately. I’ve actually debated not writing anything until at least one other person steps up to the plate. I actually wrote a piece for last week about the different methods of achievement cheating how to tell when someone is using which method and how most people justify their use. due to an error on my part I lost 80% of the article (which was probably one of my longer pieces) and I was just too frustrated with the situation to re-write it. I wasn’t really into the topic anyway since I feel I write too much about Xbox Live and achievements, either that or Sony’s Problems. At least the Sony articles tend to get a lot of press.
Thoughthead’s traffic is probably dwindling at this point anyway…
To help free up time for other stuff I’ve been trying to find people to help pickup some of my tasks on nintendo-scene. With that done and the car situation settling down, hopefully I’ll have more time for creating and less time needed for maintaining.
I also go another inquiry about SMF Commenter so it got me motivated to finish up the SMF commenter page here. Now I can just point people to that link when they ask me about it.
