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.

  • asides

    being able to post asides, and do so directly from the dashboard is going to seriously influence how i keep my blog updated and how often i post…

  • wp-o-matic trick

    discovered a trick about wp-o-matic as i was building the new site. for wp-o-matic to work and not lag, you need to set up a cron job. but said cron job doesn’t *necessarily* need to happen on the host server. so, if you have a server that allows cron jobs (which i do, at home)…

  • Free Blogger Template: Dear Audrey

    This charming Blogger template is a little bit vintage, a little bit writer and a whole lot of personality! It uses neutral colors and inviting paper textures with an added vintage style ornament as accents to create a warm and sophisticated setting for your words of wisdom, adorable pictures or online diary.

  • new look for jazzsequence.com: presenting jazzsequence::metal::

    i’m still putting the final touches on the site, but the new redesigned look is here.  the theory is based on some stuff that has been floating around the net about how websites will become more like lifestreams.  since i’ve never been really happy with any single lifestream client (and i’ve tried a bunch), i…

  • fix the music biz by taking cues from the porn industry

    some ideas occurred to me after my recent post about the music industry, and then erin said something that i thought was not only genius, but perfectly summed up the kind of thinking that needs to happen to save the music business: if you want to figure out what people will pay for online, look…

  • Is Comic Sans really a bad font?

    Comic frickin’ Sans …do you even  have to ask? i get the SitePoint newsletter, Design View.  I used to pretty much auto-delete these or filter them to my spambox but when i started using Outlook again, and was creating rules to keep my inbox clean, i decided to just filter it to the folder where all…

  • the music industry’s last caress

    [audio:LastCaress.mp3] sam rosenthal is a very driven man.  he’s built projekt records from the ground up, by himself, starting out as a way to release his own music as black tape for a blue girl.  he did this back in the early 80s when starting your own record label was something you didn’t do, and his record…

  • blog action day: climate change — taking action against climate change and getting a buzz doing it

    so i love it when i sign up for these “everyone blog about such-and-such topic” deals and i have no idea what to write about.  ha.  this post is for blog action day, a thing i didn’t know anything about until i saw someone’s badge.  i’m all for these “get together and blog on a particular…

    teh s3quence 006

    so i finally got around to checking again on what was wrong with my media center.  i hooked it up to my other monitor and a spare keyboard and mouse i had lying around and first checked BIOS for any signs of processor issues like overheating, but there were none.  i turned on all the…
