The website (particularly this blog) may go down tonight at about 3:00AM PDT for mysql security password change that will be done by my host, Media Temple. I am not desiring to stay up to make sure the site is up at 3 in the morning so the only way I will know is by next morning tomorrow. I did update my password so that my hosting companies mysql security password update does not affect my domain, however, they are stating that it is possible that this may still happen.
If it does happen, the site will come back up so please do not worry. More news soon.

So I opened up the working file for “Hana” last night. The design and concept has significantly matured from my first version of the e-book and I am trying to work on it as much as I can outside of client projects. I decided to see if there was any art work or websites that constituted something along the lines of death and dedication to someone who died. I always want to see if other people out there try to do what I do which lead me to a website called “Days with my Father”.
This is an excellent website that moved me, made me tingle and inspired all at once. I found myself holding back a tear or two while reading and looking at such beautiful composition of text and photography. One of the best and inspirational sites I have found in a while. Check it out here:

The Hana book was promised in Q1 of 2010 I know, but as usual, I want to release nothing but the best so I am going to take a bit more time on it. This is the final chapter of my prolonged communication subject about death and my days with my grandmother who has practically raised me since birth. I appreciate your patience.

I apologize sincerely for the lack of updates coming into the new year. I have been busy with a lot of client side projects and it has been a hectic year so far. A year ago today I already busted out 2 wallpapers and I again apologize that it’s not like that this year. As you can tell, a lot of my time spent has been on my new portfolio site (which the motion graphics section isn’t complete yet) and a new content tutorials here and there but it’s just not ready to get published yet.
So to be fair, I want to expose the laundry list of stuff that I am planning to do this year:
- Get the motion graphics section running. I know this isn’t your typical cup of tea you want from my site but it needs to be done
- Collaborative wallpaper with Kjell-Roger Ringstad
- 2 wallpapers are on the works here and there
- Version 15.3.5. There are certain things on this site I am not really keen with in terms of design and content.
- Tutorials, both written and video
- “Hana” book. I know I promised Q1 of 2010. I am going to try my best to do this, although April is likely. And April is already Q2 2010…
So again, sincere apologies. I promise to deliver some of the list I mentioned above within this year.

Portfolio Site 2010
New portfolio site has been loaded up for the year 2010. You can access some of my latest work now. You just have to click on the PORTFOLIO link above if you are interested. I know post counts have been seldom the past month and a half, but I have been busy with lots of things unrelated to this site. But I already have loads of tutorial contents prepared as well as some new wallpapers in the works. Hopefully this year will not be crazy and will allow me to do wallpapers as much as last year.

Sorry for the lack of updates already in the New Year. I have been busy with a load of stuff that’s basically all client side related. However it is important to mention that I have a lot of projects in store this year. First and foremost, a new e-book titled “Hana” will be released in the first quarter of this year. Also in store is a major update for the tutorials section of this website as well as some wallpapers I have been working on for a while. Nocturne Phoenix version will probably reach up to 15.3.5 sometime this year, with some minor to major changes in design and function of the site.
Either way, sorry this post is short, but more news soon as things get revealed and close to final.
