Hi, I’m Chris

I make websites and things. Lately, I’ve been experimenting a lot with Large Language Models (colloquially known as AI) to test their capabilities and to help make my job and D&D Dungeon Mastering life easier. Feel free to click around to learn more about stuff I like to do and/or am working on.

  • thinktank makeover, jazzsequence network

    verily it was decided that it was time for a makeover of the thinktank site.  this came down from on high because we went to some other web designers’ sites and realized most, if not all, our contemporaries tended to be a lot more conservative in their presentation on their own website.  now, this seems…

  • dr. horrible

    dr horribe, which i quickly mentioned last time, is joss whedon‘s latest entertainment foray as an internet-only, 1 week, limited, totally free, musical/blog thing.  it stars neil patrick harris (doogie howser) and nathan fillion (firefly‘s malcom reynolds) and i can’t wait.  here’s the teaser: Teaser from Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog on Vimeo.

  • thinktank affiliate buttons, vista experience, computer woes resolved, and other stuff

    so we got a new client for thinktank.  it’s a wordpress blog, and it’s mostly maintenance and updates, but it’s still pretty cool.  our client wants to build/integrate a social networking component, so i did some researching and found KickApps Social Networking Software.  the more i read into it and compared the alternatives, the cooler…

  • gr + avatar != grave avatars OR growling avatars OR robot

    so it’s been bugging me for a while.  why is it that in the comments of my posts, there are avatars (or generic, blank avatars), but no way to use/change/update/upload your avatar?  i even poked around in the user preferences in the blog several times trying to find where “upload avatar” was located, to no…

  • one more to file under “it’s always something”…

    in my last post, i expressed my woe at the sudden upheaval of my computer.  today i woke up excited because my hardware was coming.  now i have a history of always forgetting something.  i get a new motherboard but the processor doesn’t match.  i get a motherboard and processor but don’t have the right…

  • computer explosion

    so there we were.  playing guildwars.  trying to get some new characters to a high enough level that we can beat the mission which will unlock the ability to go from the nightfall campaign back to the original prophecies campaign.  we’re running aroung collecting XP from the quests we just finished, when, all of a…

  • it’s still download day…

    still haven’t downloaded firefox 3?  /sigh okay, well my first impressions are — it’s supercool.  i was always turned off by the default firefox look in 2.0.  3.0 installed and used the skin i was already using and it wasn’t until i installed it on erin’s computer that i saw how hot the new look…

  • he’s a half-blinker

    just a quick update for those who care about my crazy eye issues… i went back for my followup appt. for my contacts. if you’re just joining us, previously i had talked about my keratoconus and that i will be wearing contacts for forever (or until it’s down to eye surgery or nothing) to counter…

  • site update

    it’s been a long time coming, i finally updated the blog design. i’ve done a couple custom wordpress themes for thinktank clients now, and it was about time i did one for myself. it’s not really anything new, although the banner is totally new. but the css was recoded by hand. the overall design is…
