It has been way too long without an update. For one thing, I finally got the forums back up and running, which I am incredibly happy about. I was scared that all the work and info I put into forum threads would be lost.Sad news, though, my computer has been down for about 3-4 weeks now as I have been trying many different things to rectify its random and instant death. I was actually in the middle of playing the new Sam and Max games and it just died (not due to those awesome games, by the way). I was able to get back into Windows within Safe Mode, and tried both System Restores and Drive Roll-backs, but to no avail. So I decided to delete my C: drive and try a fresh re-install. Well, a few weeks after problems with that, Dell has now come to say that my XP disk is flawed and they are sending me a new one. Hopefully this is the last of these problems, as I am not in the mood to buy a temporary computer since I plan on buying a super-computer sometime next year and can’t do that now.

More on my cartooning, however, I believe I am going to mostly pass on doing this work in Flash and try out ToonBoom Studio (Solo Edition). I think it may speed up production as I really am trying to keep to my promise of having Clone High Ep 14 done by the end of summer, (Here’s hoping…) and from there, Mission Hill. I still see myself using Flash for this production, as they do work somewhat well together, and I’m used to doing at least my background art in Flash.

I’m updating this on my work computer and don’t plan on having to do this again. I want to be back on my machine soon. (Dell is being courteous and sending me a new CD, and this is like a 5 year old machine.) I also plan on adding an RSS feed to this site, since I understand that this isn’t a site that gets updated often and I want to do all the people that come here a favor. And after my next animating surge and I feel a little burned out, I’ll do what I can to use that downtime to add some flair to the forums. It’s frankly a little embarrassing.

So farewell for now, and I hope to be back online in short order.
