Jaron's Journal
| August 25, 2008, 10:45 AM It's a steady job, and I want to be a paperback writer... |
| Whew! Well there are a lot of things afoot since the last time I posted. Where should I begin? I suppose I'll begin with the JaronDavis.com changes, as there have been many.
First things first, I added a new Random/Fun section which will house all of my future experimental, random, and/or miscellaneous pages. I've placed the Bio's in this section, and I've also added a new Dreams & Nightmares section. This is one of "fun experiments". In it you can post new or anonymous dreams or nightmares, and others can give their thoughts, discussions, interpretations, or whatever else. Since I have a life-long collection of odd, random, scary, and goofy dreams; and seeing that I add to these almost weekly; I should be frequenting this section in the near future. I've also added a new Tetris clone I've entitled "Falling Things" into the Software section. It's an experiment I did while trying to show my sis how to program games in .NET. It comes complete with falling blocks, high scores, bright colors, and music hastily performed and edited by yours truly. It's also free, so if you want yet another Tetris clone, download Falling Things 1.0. I'm also working on adding a gallery to the website. I've got the pages and folder structure almost set up, and once that's done, I'll be adding a bunch of picture of Rachel, Krycek, Ziggy, and I. And with regards to the "Dark Forest" album, Jesse and I are going to get together two weekends from now to work on writing/recording songs for the album. So far I've got about 8 or 9 strong ideas for songs, four songs halfway written and recorded (two of which I can't record with Jesse for one experimental reason or another), and one song lined out ready to record. I'm hoping to turn a lot of those "strong ideas" into "songs ready to record" before my two weeks is up. We're also hoping to come up with a song or two while we're there. In either case, we've got our work cut out for us for these next two weeks, so be on the lookout for possible "Dark Forest" demos in the next month or so. And as for life in general, it's been pretty good recently. Rachel and I spent Friday and Saturday in Greenville hanging out with family and friends, and the weekend before we went to see Berry and the Jake Russell band perform at the Red Sea in St. Louis, MO. We also had yet another weenie roast, but this time it was at David Hechler's house with Zach Monts, Jake Russell, Rachel Davis, Dave, Laura, and I all present. That's about it... |
