warrenshea.com’s Portfolio – it better be worth it

Monday, February 27th, 2012 at 2:17 am

…I know it’s not.

The point of the portfolio is to show potential employers my work. But there’s a lot about my portfolio site about me already. How much work do they need to see? Do they need to see any?

I spent hours this weekend rummaging all my old work files. 5 years of work files…figuring out what I can put up, what I can’t…looking back at old, bad code…I dunno.

I just wanna have my site done. But I don’t want to have it incomplete. And right now, I’m just trying to complete it. It just happens to be taking FOREVER.

Anyways.

Just a side rant…as I play Tiny Tower.

I just want warrenshea.com to be done already :( I want to move on to my next project. Like. Now.

WordPress updated to 3.3.1 (from 3.0.6)

Thursday, February 23rd, 2012 at 2:17 am

Just sayin.

Also, worldofwarren is now a valid WordPress theme. It lacks both documentation, and…well…lots of stuff. Also, I might have broken stuff…so toss me a note/comment if you see something broken. :D I started deving at midnight…..not a good time to start after some beers and on a weekday.

This is the first of any sort of non-work related deving I’ve done all month. I hope to continue this trend…and give Tiny Tower a BIT of a break. I still want/need to crush everyone first. MWHAHAHAHAHAH

Tiny Tower

Monday, February 20th, 2012 at 4:18 am

This is what I’ve been doing/playing since Feb 4th.

You’ll notice immediately that my residential floors at the top are named after Naruto characters. I needed a consistent theme for a large number of items. Naruto seemed to fit the mold…my alternative was Prince of Tennis characters but Naruto characters are more widely known. Also, even with 1-50 floors, I would be able to find an equivalent number of characters. There aren’t that many mangas or animes that have that.

I’m thinking about writing a strategy for how I’ve been able to build so quickly, using legit moves. Granted, much of it is simply PLAYING A LOT. And I DO play it a lot. But there’s also a lot of strategy and thinking while I’m playing and I’ve determined what I believe, are “cutting edge” theories that will help.

(and the purpose of writing a strategy for Tiny Tower is to get hits to my site).

I could use more visitors >_<

Adobe Premiere and video editing

Monday, February 20th, 2012 at 4:12 am

That’s why I’m up. I’m waiting for a video to encode. Damn. Even a short 1-3 minute video takes like, 30m to encode. I’ve been encoding for hours this weekend.

Anyways, Gundam Seed has been on my mind lately. Thinking of trying to get this co-worker friend to watch it. She’s a girl’s girl but she liked Naruto back in the day, loved Kakashi…but has sworn off anime since then cuz ‘it never ends’. Well, if she’s referring to Naruto, I don’t blame her (though I still enjoy it). I’ve also been watching anime intros and outros at work lately as I’m sick of my youtube music playlist and I always tend to go back to my anime music once in a while. Anyways, it got me thinking that

a) The Gundam Seed Intros/Outros I playlisted on YouTube were removed :( I don’t wanna look for them agaaaain. (They seem to be removed rather quickly).
b) I don’t have any Gundam Seed Intros/Outros on my iPhone. Why? Honestly, I don’t remember.
c) I have Gundam Seed and Gundam Seed Destiny DVDs (legit ones, purchased off eBay).
d) I could rip textless intros/outros of Gundam Seed and Gundam Seed Destiny and throw them on my iPhone.

Anyways, following that logic, on a whim, I started this weekend doing the above. And…well, it’s taken me a while to get used to Adobe Premiere. I DO only use it like, once every 2 years, if I’m lucky (no, seriously). But I can do the basics with it such as putting video and audio into it, or mixing audio, or messing with audio volume or fading the music in and out. Anyways. It started out with just a few intros and outros. 7 total for Gundam Seed. But then. I thought “Why not more”. This is the list of anime intros/outros I’ve done this weekend…effectively using up 2/3 of my days.

Gundam Seed Intro 1
Gundam Seed Intro 2
Gundam Seed Intro 3
Gundam Seed Intro 4
Gundam Seed Midtro Akatsuki
Gundam Seed Midtro Meteor
Gundam Seed Outro 1
Gundam Seed Outro 2
Gundam Seed Outro 3
Gundam Seed Destiny Intro 1
Gundam Seed Destiny Intro 2
Gundam Seed Destiny Intro 3
Gundam Seed Destiny Intro 4
Gundam Seed Destiny Midtro Vestiage
Gundam Seed Destiny Outro 1
Gundam Seed Desinty Outro 2
Gundam Seed Destiny Outro 3
Gundam Seed Destiny Outro 4
Naruto – Closer
Hikaru no Go Intro 1
Hikaru no Go Intro 2
Hikaru no Go Intro 3
Hikaru no Go Outro 1
Hikaru no Go Outro 2
Hikaru no Go Outro 3
Hikaru no Go Outro 4
Hikaru no Go Outro 5

I made the word Midtro up….also, there’s a specific reason why I don’t use the words
Opening and Ending
that most people use when describing an anime’s opening and ending. It’s cuz I like to order my files alphabetically so if I have something like
Gundam Seed Ending 1
Gundam Seed Opening 1
it bothers me that Ending is before Opening (and often plays before Opening). So I use Intro/Outro to remedy that problem. I don’t know where I got it from, but I like it.

ANYWAYS.
Tomorrow I have 4 Prince of Tennis OVA Intros and Outros (8 total) to do for the Prince of Tennis Nationals tournament. After that, I’m done.

Going back to warrenshea.com which I honestly haven’t touched since Feb 2 (or earlier). I remember cuz I went Karaoke that night, and then have been playing Tiny Tower the other nights.

Oh yeah, there’s something I wanna do on worldofwarren.com first so I think I’ll do that tomorrow.

One more blog post tonight. Have to catch up (my number of posts is shockingly low this month).
