What's my role now?

3rdklbb.org has a new look.. updated about a month ago. Along with that it also has a new personality. One which I'm not sure I'd be able to contribute much to anymore. Most of it's core ideas have been replaced. I think I won't be that big a part of it anymore until it needs to be resurrected. I wish the new administrators all the best in keeping 3rd Kuala Lumpur Company's cyberspace presence alive.

Sighz

how do I get my guys to write?... COL...

Online FTP

I managed to figure out an uploading solution for the time being while my laptop's out and to by pass Monash's firewall. I used an online, web-based FTP uploader. At least now I can still do some work. However, the computers in uni doesn't have Photoshop.. so as for resizing the pictures, I'm using Xanga (upload the picture, chose a small size pic, post, then Save as).. but to create graphics and to crop I'll need Photoshop up and running!

It's the 27th August 2007. My adapter's supposed to be back today. Hopefully Fujitsu kept their word!

Laptop Difficulties Causes Website Drought

It's close to two week since the website has been touched/updated and the worst period of web hits ever. This is due to the inavailability of my laptop which abrupted went out of order since the beginning of this drought. View cause here. Updates will continue to flow in two weeks when the a power adapter for my laptop arrives. Still, there is a lack of news and initiative from the company to possibility updating anything at the moment.. causing a "desperate" interview with the sergeants (YOU HEAR ME YOU LAZY BUMMED PEOPLE!). Even so, only one of three sergeants responded.

Do you have a solution to offer? Cause I'm running out of ideas. Issue at hand: How to get people to contribute articiles to the website?

The comic idea is still under development. It'll be some time before it gets going.

to encourage contribution of in company and non-3rd KL news, a points system is being devised (though it must be said, this idea was thought of since website conception, only that it has never been implemented).

BB Comic!

Argh. I need a major revamp on the website design if I wanna keep ppl visiting. Though the current structure is easier to maintain.. if you want something good sacrifices need to be made. I thinking of a phased redesign or should I say "beautification" of each of the main sections where there will be nicer graphics and background images.

I would also like to announce in this blog entry that we'll be coming up with a weekly comic drawned by myself (well, who else was gonna volunteer anyway?). More details of the comic will be announced at a later date. It would feature the life of a BB members life addressing several themes such school life (studies, etc), teenage life (which is one of the major highlights such as BG relationships, friendship, etc) and of course addressing BB themes as well (promotion, competitions, awards, etc). It will especially touch on important morole values. The comics tone will vary from serious to hilarious depending on the message and time frame suitable. Additional ideas are welcomed for consideration!

Dreamweaver try out..

I tried giving Dreamweaver 8.0 a try.. and boy. It's complex. I think when I do use it in the future.. I'll need to redesign the layout as you can see below, certain parts didn't come out the way it should. Another time when I'm free I'll learn to figure it out.


Will be helping to maintain BBMalaysia.org while the webmaster is away.. that's why I'm using dreamweaver all the sudden. Should be quite interesting.
