Aquaria Mod Database
How have you been?
I’ve been okay. I haven’t really done much recently, but today I found myself suffering from a little productivity. Before that, though, I found the Humble Inde Bundle, and as I’ve heard of World of Goo before (I played Tower of Goo back when it was new and always wanted to try the full game xD), and it was too good of an offer to miss, so I got one for myself.
I played World of Goo, which was pretty exciting, but I wanted to try some of the other games in there, so I tried Gish. I heard of that one before too. Unfortunately, I was rather unimpressed by it so I moved onto the next game. Aquaria looked interesting, but I wasn’t sure of how well it would run on my computer with the ripply effects. It ran perfectly. 
After I finished the game (which took quite some time), I even got the soundtrack because I really liked the music in the game. So I had new music on my iPod for a while. 
Old games are fun too! And now I can’t wait for Marian.
Anyway, I met some people on the Bit-Blot Forums and IRC, and got involved in a mod database project to allow others to upload databases and share them with others as a web designer. I made a mockup a while ago, but never got back to making it into a website.
Until today. (Made from scratch by me of course) Yay!
The old theme
A lot has happened in my life (curiously, most of it has to do with deviantART) since I last posted, and since none of the things that happened is really worth it’s own post, I decided to compile them all into one big post to share with the world. Who knows, you might even learn something from all the accidents and other things I might have done over the past few days. So basically, this post is a giant grab bag type post. If you don’t like reading about my menu design, skipping to the next paragraph should put you into another topic.
To start off, I would like to mention that as of today, my blog has almost (one more day) survived an entire month after its redesign, reaching a major time based milestone. It just happens that my next post will be my tenth post on this blog, reaching another post based milestone. Maybe I’ll find something real to post about tomorrow letting me achieve both milestones within twenty four hours of each other! Continue reading deviantDaze »

I got this question in an email today, and I thought it would be more fun to answer it on my blog instead of just telling the one person the answer.
I have a web design question. It’s a quick one, don’t worry. I am developing with XAMPP locally. I put the website files in a subdirectory off of the Apache document root. But what this means is that whenever I specify an absolute path on my webpages, like “/include/navbar.php”, it goes up to the localhost/ directory instead of the localhost/subdirectory/ directory. I’m thinking the solution would be to set up DNS, but this seems like something so simple. What do you do to get your absolute paths to work?
Unfortunately, as the title of this post suggests, it’s not possible. 
There’s no way to use absolute paths with a subdirectory without possibly breaking the code when you take it out of a testing environment and put it on a root directory. Of course, I too use subdirectories of my XAMPP root for website testing, so I had to figure out some workarounds. Continue reading Question: Access of root directory of a subdirectory »
