captains changelog

5/8/2024
Added the boat page and the link page with corresponding shelf items. learning 3dx and other web design 3d stuff for reasons i am not sure of. I think i can do interesting things with the medium perhaps.
Also. Gallery overhaul finally happening right now. The reason I've neglected it so bad was becasue untill recently I did not know CSS and simply never used it. each page on the site was simply a flat image i composed in photoshop, and then id overlay transparent links over certain parts to create the illusion of them being buttons. Do not do this. Do not be like me. I can not even begin to describe to you how stupid it is. Now finally everything is an indipendant element that i can style and move as i wish with code rather than photoshop. This is also why i procrastinated adding things into the gallery so bad. each page required hand crafting every part of the whole page in photoshop, and then painstakingly placing compleatly invisible links over flat images. you live and you learn i guess. Now I just repeat css across pages and upload images. Moheb if you are reading this, you can say "I told you so". the little paper boat page is actually animated compleatly with pure CSS! oh how far I've come. I also redesigned my boyfriends squarespace site but with html so he doesnt have to pay to host anything. plus its just neater. you can look at it HERE! if youd like. Very different than my own. yeah thats right. I have range. Its a little empty right now though. Its more so a template i made him to fill with what he would like. the cute little drawings are all his :-)! looking to set up rss feed things soon also :-3

Huge main page overhaul. Even though you cant really tell right now, hahah. Basicly rewriting all my code since i know WAAAAYYYYY more now and need it clean beacuse im taking on making the whole site mobile friendly. which it is INCREDIBLY not right now. Additionally, directory page and radio page are getting major redesigns. Your first draft is never perfect, what can i say.

projects in the works:

  • fortune cookie
  • radio redesign+major content update
  • directory redesign, to add more content and also just look better.
  • ive been writing down my muse entires and not uploading them. will probably do that all at once.
  • window project
  • library entires. ive made MASSIVE documents giving an accessable for beginers explaination of the "indie web", also making a step by step site tutorial, in the hopes that its a bit more educational than just rooting through a template, also a few other writings
  • wokring on an oil painting entry for ben hagle of the month as well as a large series of really big graphite works
  • i have a tonnnn of stuff to upload into the gallery, i just need better pictures i think.
  • Wild wild web roundup. Page for link dumps!
  • actually, i have an insane amount of other personal art projects going on rn. alsoa major move coming up hehe.
  • public access platoon page will be getting a rework, but thats low on the priority list
  • Ive also been translating my boyfriends squarespace portfolio website into HTML and doing a redesign, so he can host it where ever and also save money and what have you.


wow! lots going on!!!! i like to stay busy :)

also, this was the very first verion of the homepage. How far weve come!!! i learned so much about coding in a year :)

Removed flag counter, added Cowboy Day to radio schedule. Big recipe page repair and update coming soon, lol. Sorry for neglecting that one, the radio took a lot of work. Still havmt learned how to spell.
NOTE TO SELF: please get around to updating the gallery, its emptyness looks like i dont do anything haha.


3/7/2024
some big upcoming sputnik page additions.


3/1/2024
Muse entry and started van build page. added buttons in directory. misc things in the works behind the scenes.


2/21/2024
Radio Mobile site kicking my ass for some reason but should be fine now. radio test broadcast down for final maintainance before full launch. also started typing up a few more recipes but pages werent updating to check if they were looking right so i got annoyed and stopped.


2/19/2024
made radio and its site and forgot i made an update log to talk about it. radio runs off an icecast server, and i handle media through centrova cast but mayt change as it feels a little annoying at times. also im having issues with hosting broadcast info and media players that work with it correctly. idkkk! radio desktop site is fine but im having problems doing mobile sites. things that look correct to me look very very very incoorect to others so far.


2/8/2024
Tweaked scaleabilty and accecability in the gallery. Began actually imputting recipes.


2/7/2024
finished making just about every page scale collectly to different screen proportions. addictionally, revamped the whole look of the library and added the writing club page. did not learn how to spell. also made this chagelog a formal page on the site.
To Do-

  • site map/ index
  • imput recipes
  • upload all my work to the gallery (probably wont, thats a lot of work. will proably just keep it at work i produce from this point forward.)
  • switch up autoplay stuff?
  • myrchella page for past archiving and future planning?


2/5/2024
tweaked how the main shelf space resizes on different window sizes. not perfect but definantly better. also started keeping an update log as of today, dispite the site being very much already put together. the reason the main shelf items werent resizing with my window despite being sized in vh and vw was because of how i phrased the construction of my button class. excited to have figured that out, ive been wondering what the problem was for months. but frusterated because the solution was foolishly simple. suppose thats just the way these things are.



2/5/2024
recipe page comes into existance. very bare bones. no actual recipes yet, just a menu. realized the original library page doesnt match the rest of the site and is a little sloppy, planning to redesign and change soon.
