Big Changes Coming!
From:  semperfried.com
I am currently in the process of redesigning this site to reflect my new web-design/pc-repair business. In the very near future (I'm shooting for a week, tops), I'll be upgrading my wordpress install, cleaning out a lot of old posts, and installing a brand-new, custom-built and completely badass theme for this site (good thing too, as my current install seems to be completely whacked. In the future I'll be updating this site a helluva lot more often, be sure to check back soon! Read Full Story
Whew! It’s been so long…

Ok, it's been quite a long time since I've written anything here, God knows. The electiona has come and gone and we have a new chairman... whoops, I mean communist... I mean, COMMANDER in chief. Needless to say the election took a lot out of me, and I haven't been in the mood to say much since. In the interim, I've been working on the website for Roy Morales, Republican Mayoral candidate for the City of Houston- that's scheduled to be posted tonight, if anybody's readi... Read Full Story

Whoa, I’ve been away far too long
From:  semperfried.com
Been feeling kind of burned out lately, and have been trying new things… just got a few pics posted on my deviantArt gallery, and haven’t done much work outside of my job since. I guess I’ve been a little bummed out from money troubles, I guess. I’ve also been working hard on a new site, [...] Read Full Story
Burning the midnight oil…
From:  semperfried.com
Ever since I discovered Tim Wilson's implementation of a flash-based theme for Wordpress a few days ago, I've been a man obsessed, I must discover not only how it was done, but how to do the same thing with my own sites. Although I obtained a copy of his website's template, the code made little sense to me and I saw little use in only being able to use pages to display my posts. I instead saought out alternatives, and found a promising one in AMFPHP, a framework which allows one t... Read Full Story

Wow, I’m a debugger!
From:  semperfried.com
Y'all might've noticed the nifty bit of Flash at the top of this site that displays images linked to featured posts. That's a plug-in for Wordpress developed by a guy named Rich Christiansen, who I recently had the pleasure of corresponding with when I had trouble installing his work. Even though Rich gives away this awesome plugin for free to any blogger willing to try it, Rich was more than happy to devote quite a bit of time to helping me out with all my problems. Rich is a rea... Read Full Story

From:  semperfried.com
The term "Claymore" was first used to describe a Scottish Broadsword commonly used to wreak bloody havoc in warfare from 1500 to 1700, a two-hander behemoth that could cleave a man in two under the force of it's own gravity, let alone when being swung at you. The focus of this article is not, however, about this monster of a sword, or it's sissy little brother of the same name, which was used after 1715 in Scotland, and had a basket hilt to "protect the hand while in us...
