A reminder

Posted on by in Personal, Site Stuff

Hi guys! Sorry, no new wallpaper this time, just a little reminder.

There’s this neat little tool called TinEye, which is basically a reverse image search tool. Out of sheer curiosity I went to see if my wallpapers were posted somewhere else besides here on TwilightRealm. Instead, I stumbled upon a deviantART avatar made out of one of my wallpapers (Wallpaper police, haha!). Now, I don’t really make a big deal out of these kind of things, but this one was not credited to  TwilightRealm whatsoever and the deviant stated that credit should be given to themselves and it belonged to them. As this avatar was simply a cropped and resized version of one of my wallpapers, this is ofcourse incorrect and, well, not very cool in my book.

So I just want to let you know I’m okay with making avatars or signatures from my wallpapers, just don’t state it as your own and give credit where credit is due. That’s all I’m asking :)

Hiatus?

Posted on by in Personal, Site Stuff

Sorry for the lack of updates recently, I started working as a intern for 40 hours a week 5 weeks ago so I have little time to sit down and make a nice wallpaper for you guys :( As this internship lasts for another 4 months or so, I’m gonna have to put making any new wallpapers on hold for a while… So consider this a hiatus. I’ll try to make something when I get time but I can’t guarantee anything.

I know, I know…

No updates for a while again. I’ve been terribly busy lately, not with school (they actually toned down the amount of classes and homework this time) but with my job! I currently have 3 different webdesign projects at the same time, thankfully the first one is almost wrapped up but it still took me almost a week. Bit of advice: If you ever want to run an online shop: do NOT use osCommerce! The source code is not only incredibly outdated and cluttered, it’s hell to customize because it has no real template system. I know it’s free and you can use PayPal and whatnot, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t need a major cleanup! It reminds me how much I love WordPress: it’s free, easy to customize, LOTS and LOTS of add-ons and plugins and it’s XHTML valid. Yep, can’t express my love for WP enough.

Also, I noticed the domain has trouble with locating the server since some days ago (probably DNS problems), hence the “The server could not be found” errors. I don’t know what’s causing this all of a sudden but I already contacted my dear hostess about it :) Hopefully it’s fixed soon. Just letting you guys know so you won’t think TR is offline! I wouldn’t take it down without any notification anyway ;)

Darknut wallpaper

Posted on by in Personal, Wallpapers

Another request fulfilled :) Enjoy the wallpaper: Darknut!

So what’s been up lately? Well, I’ve been in the newspaper, I’ve competed in the Crossmedia Challenge at Skillsmasters -> won silver with my team! And my sister just got her own place so it’s a bit hectic around here ;) Other than that: just school mostly, which was also in the news because of some threat posted at 4chan. So yeah. No worries though, the police has been  walking around my school for the past 2 days now and I really don’t think any threat posted on 4chan of all places should be taken that seriously… But nevertheless, there are plenty of psychos walking on this planet so I guess it’s better to be safe than sorry ;)
