Site Changes

February 2, 2011 Site News, Written One comment

Again…

Since I’m doing more Java stuff now, the site will be getting changed around some more over the following weeks or so as I try to gear the site more towards application development, stupid Java programs, and getting a “real job” to make enough money to live on. Major changes:

Spookle is getting taken down.
The forums are getting wiped, and integrated with the main site. (I haven’t been able to find a way to import the forums to WordPress, and currently it’s beyond my skill in PHP to do. I will however back them up, so hopefully I can import them at a later date, along with the vintage sediverse 1.5 forums.)
The Comics are going down as well, although they’ll be put on the side bar as downloadable PDFs.
I won’t be using ComicPress anymore.
The Links to the stores will be cut, and the merchandise no longer updated or supported. (So if you do a google search, you’ll be able to find the old crap that wasn’t worth buying, but I’m not going to pitch it or hope for sales.)

Why? Well, I don’t really have any equipment to actually work on the comic, so continuing this site as a webcomic site is… rather silly, honestly. I will still work on the comic when I have spare time and motivation, but really, SED is becoming more and more of a doodle sort of comic. As I make more issues though, I’ll add those to the side bar for download.

SED will probably end up as a cartoon on youtube, though, so at least there’s that.

Still, SED is pretty much dead at this point, since I don’t really have any way of keeping it going. Major thanks and props to everyone who helped me keep this thing going for as long as it has. Hopefully we can get everything back up to the point where the comic will be a regular project again. Cheers!

(P.S. – For those who didn’t know (or didn’t follow the news posts I left with a lot of the comics) The laptop I used for drawing broke down, then I decided to learn Java, then I had to sell my car to pay bills, then my phone stopped working, then my desktop broke down so I had to build a new computer with the broken parts from my next door neighbor, then the new computer broke down, and i had to borrow money from family to fix it… and my rent just went up (again.) So, all in all, point is: I’ve had a pretty crappy year, financially speaking, and that’s why I haven’t been able to draw the comic. On the bright side though, I did manage to go to the doctor in September or whatever, and now I do actually have medication for the migraines that were leaving me out of commission for weeks at a time.)

Of Computer Repairs

So a few months ago, I was heading to work, steppedout the front door and onto the first step. Then blam! I was on my ass and I smashed my back into the bottom stair. I was in severe pain as I had injured my back only a week previously. I went back inside and called in, then settle into a less painful position to relax for the duration of my shift.

I whipped out my laptop very slowly, and noticed the screen was dead. So I was out a laptop, right?

Wrong.

I did some shopping around for a a new screen and found it, ranging in price from $50 to $500, which was more than twice the price of the laptop to begin with. So I said “Screw it,” for a while until my brother offered to get me a new laptop screen. That arrived today, but the installation was hell.

In order to replace a 10.1″ laptop screen you have remove 10 tiny screws from random places throughout the back of the screen.  Which isn’t a problem if you are doing computer repair in a proper place. But in a dark basement with very little in the way of light makes thing difficult. But I managed, through sheer frustration, to install the screen. Which was a massive pain. And irritating. But my laptop is functional again. So hooray.

Of Permalinks and Apartments

I just finished changing a bit around for the site: There’s a new permalink structure, since I finally got around to making the header play nice with it. Also, there’s a new cache system, which should speed up the site loading a bit, even though it might slow down the updating by a minute or two.

Translation: Faster loading. New comics will be a minute late (assuming they’re on time to begin with. Ha.)

As for the “apartments” side of this post, enjoy:
