Planned blog code updates

9:26 pm - Post Category: Nickness

So I've decided to dive deeper into the codebase/library structure that I've already put dozens, if not hundreds of hours of time into.

I want to add Tags, Search, dynamic categorizing (to do with searching and pairing tags with specific categories within search results), and I suppose that I will end up merging the mostly-unused Tensioncore.ORG with NickDodd.com, having Tensioncore.ORG the software-sharing, informational hub of NickDodd.com.

First on the list will in fact be finally adding support for Editing Posts, tied in with adding/editing photos while composing new Blog Posts (This is a big one on my todo list).

The Winter horizon

6:00 pm - Post Category: Nickness

It's truly amazing how clear it is in the Winter on a day much like today.

Visibility is dozens of miles, infinite in some places. There is NO smog at all, which is where a day like today is vastly different than a similarly sunny/clear day in the Summer.

Summer comes with a lot of smog, and the visibility is poor at best when it is clear for miles.

PS. Today turned out alright. I had a very rough night on my mentality last night. I felt as though I didn't even need to be alive and I had to fight against a lot of real/honest thoughts in my head and go against what I actually wanted to be the outcome. I "fought my demons".

I was ready to leave Vancouver at 3am and go to Seattle or even just on a Greyhound as far as I could go. I was actually going to leave and "run away" essentially from everything and everyone I know and not come back.

It took a lot of support from 2 very important people to get me to stay.

Once I got to work my mindset hadn't changed much, but my negatives were quickly shot down by people who care, and the only thing that mattered was that they cared.

Now I feel better about myself than I have in a long time. Chapter Four is here and in full effect. This story is going to turn out alright. smile

Gonna be playing with one of these for a while:

It's a mid 70's era vintage camera....

I'm excited to shoot film for a while before I get my Nikon D90 (which might be delayed despite my best desperate measures).

I'me going to be hugely inspired by using that camera!

Here's a Body shot:
