It's ALIVE.. ITS ALIVE, ITS ALIVE!!!

I'm making a Graphical Calculator out of java! Not sure if it'll make it to the website though, i don't like posting source code of projects i make in class in case the teacher wants to use the same homework assignment again. And i'm not sure if i can convert it into an applet so i might not post it. It probably wouldn't matter if it was a class file but i'm still new to this.

In other news, this website recently gained another 5 THOUSAND visitors on thursday i think it was.. Which is surprising. That doubles the amount of people who have visited, apparently there's a steady stream of 7+ people visiting a day (i have the stat counter ignoring my ip address). Really this is just meant to be an ongoing project, a homepage/possible portfolio someday. Plus it gives me a chance to work on web skills that i would otherwise not have. But it's kinda neat that people are visiting i guess. I plan on making the website a little more user friendly soon.
I tried to revamp the website about 2-3 weeks ago but i hit a dead-end.. broke the website and spent about 4 hours fixing the damn thing. But i think i have a better idea of how to do it.. This really won't make any outward differences but it should make the code easier to manage in the future and it'll allow for bookmarking different sections. I'll probably take care of it during christmas vacation. I also want to make the log and "Archive" better.. more like a blog easier for people to read? I might actually talk about things in the future who knows.. it's possible i have the ability to talk about things. Either way it atleast needs pages, and maybe a rework on the design but so does the whole website while i'm at it.. not sure if it'll all happen over christmas break though.

In other news i plan on entering my first ever Ludum Dare Challenge! Of course i haven't quite hit the point where i think i can comfortably make a game in java yet but i have over 5 days to learn. Actually i have finals in a couple of days, but one of them is for java so ideally i'll know a thing or two about it by then, and then i can just focus on learning Game Design. So fun things to look forward to, i expect i'll be making a crappy game but you have to start somewhere, and i'm really looking forward to it. Whatever i make i'll post on the website under Java in projects. That section could use some work as well.
