    Web Usability

    Monday, April 6th, 2009

    For those of you who are unaware, my full-time job is that of an IT Consultant. I basically go from client to client (depending on where the head company sends me) and fulfil given roles. My focus area is (not surprisingly) web development.

    My role on my current project is that of a web usability evaluator. And while I’ve always considered myself an artistic person at heart, I can finally see how annoying some of those lovely little design features truly are to the majority of web users. Not to mention screen readers and various other software used by the disabled to access the internet.

    The best part is looking over my own sites and realise how inaccessibly they really are! SuzakuNU is filled with so many heuristic problems, I can’t even begin to rant. I think the worse thing I really can’t stand now (but used to love) is the fade out and in effect some image galleries have. Omgosh! What is the point!? You can’t view the entire gallery at a glance anymore, which was the entire point of having an image gallery with thumbnails in the first place. May as well just give users a raw directory with all the images in it for them to click one by one through, they’d probably be slightly less annoyed if they have a good connection.

    Okay okay, I don’t want to turn this into a bash the web sort of post! So I’ll stop now and hopefully have something more interesting to say next time :)

    Full Moon revamped!

    Sunday, May 4th, 2008

    Yeeeep! I am on fire! hehe, well the weekend is almost over, so I figured I’d better do what I can now before the working week begins and I have to disappear @_@ (that and I have a dinner night to attend in under 30 mins!)

    Full Moon has been completely revamped, updated almost all the information. And I have a bunch of new images I uploaded, as well as many more to come~ Just need more time :) Have a great week everyone!

    Hemisphere + SuzakuNU tidbits

    Sunday, May 4th, 2008

    Once I started, couldn’t stop~ I am on a roll :) I’ve uploaded Hemisphere (wallpaper page), it’s the same layout as before, but I’ve fixed it here and there to make it load faster and hopefully should be much easier to maintain now, plus added a few little sections here and there for SuzakuNU. I really hated that domain section I created, so I restored it back to just a plain page with links. :P Dunno what I was thinking last time.

    Anyways, go ahead and enjoy!

    Password: Chobits revamped!

    Saturday, May 3rd, 2008

    Wow, I did not think this would ever happen! I honestly thought anime and manga was behind me, and to a certain degree it is. I do think I will always be a fan of animanga, I grew up with it afterall, but as I get older, my life priorities change and there is just so many other more important things to do. Anyways enough rambling!

    Password: Chobits has gotten a much needed revamp! Brand new layout, and loads of new content :) The layout was actually made almost 2 years ago, so it was about time I uploaded it! Fingers crossed this is just the first of many more revamps to come, I have many many many finished layouts for my other sites, I just haven’t gotten around to coding them up! So be sure to check regular for more updates :D

    Little personal

    Thursday, April 24th, 2008

    Updates have been pretty slow lately, though I’ve made a promise with myself that I will update this blog with something interesting at least once a month! Hopefully I can increase that with time tho, the more I update this site, the closed I am towards my goals… at least that’s how I treat it :)

    Anyways update, I created a little personal site. I’ve always wanted one, but never could get around to make it. Had this one for a while now, but am only just getting around to uploading it hehe. It’s called W@tera and focuses on the areas of my life I am currently pushing for and working on! I hope I can keep it updated with what’s going on, but knowing me, your best bet is keep up with this weblog ;) Have a good weekend everyone <3

    Have a happy and safe new year!

    Saturday, December 29th, 2007


    Well the year is almost over, and what a year it has been :) There have been many changes in my life and I have been working hard to sort myself out. However now that things are a little bit more on track, I hope that 2008 can be a far more productive and successful year for many aspects of my life.

    But before I end the year, I’ll finish off with one last update~ I’ve added Xiaoyu Ling to Extreme Motion. I didn’t want to add her till I was 100% finished with the costume, but in order to wear this costume I had to cut myself some bangs which I am desperately trying to grow out at the moment. Not wanting to cut myself another set of bangs anytime in the near future I doubt I’ll be able to model this costume soon :( So I’ll add it to the site and see what happens :)

     Thanks for all the love and support you guys have given me this year! :) Fingers cross I will bring you some new exciting stuff in 2008~ Be safe and have a very happy new year! <3

    Woo! Got around to adding Eureka to eXmotion, and I changed the layout a while back but forgot to mention it here~ I think some of the links in the events section are still down or old, so I’ll fix that soon! I’m not 100% on this layout, so hopefully I’ll have the time to change it again during the Christmas break… not to mention, SuzakuNU will be 8 years old next year. Wow! I should update the layout too hehe

    Cry Nerd

    Wednesday, March 14th, 2007

    You know, I’ve always loved ColdFusion in the beginning for the most superficial reason. Because out of the three main languages, it had the coolest name.

    But now that I’m a CF programmer I love it for a much deeper reason *love it!*. It’s so hard to go through PHP files after CF “ruined” me ;_;. I was such a big fan of PHP before, but nope. Everything changed after CF :( Looking at all those ????? just makes me cringe, CF would be perfect, if only it was free :’(

    I’m attending the boy’s Poker night tonight (ever since the Uni guys all started working, we’ve set up a weekly Poker night to keep up to date with one another), we’ll see how well I do considering I’ve never played Poker before @_@

    Website stuff

    Monday, July 31st, 2006

    Finally getting around to doing some revamping at Extreme Motion~ I’m going to try and implement a system that is a little like that at cosplaylab.com to help maintain the site in the long run~ :3 If it works out, I’ll try and package it for others to use :)

    Also wanted to ask Sefie and Shi-tenshi, would it be okay if I linked you two? I know your cosplay websites aren’t 100% done, so I wanted to check before I did just incase :) And any other Aussie cosplayers who want to do a link exchange, just link me and then let me know and I’ll return the favour! ^_^

    WOW: Sticky adds suck!

    Sunday, November 13th, 2005
