being productive, sort of...

something i have been wanting to do for a while is make a banner for my myspace pages to direct profile viewers to come here for my blogs since everything will be posted here first from now on if not exclusively. i had already saved and edited a screen capture of this blog's banner which i had made. the only thing left was to make it a convenient size to fit within my myspace layouts that would still be legible. for that all i did was drop my banner into photoshop, drag the text in to more appropriate positions, adjust the banner frame, and save it. after that, i uploaded the newly saved banner to an image host that i typically use for such things, copied the hyperlink text, and popped on over to myspace to drop it into each of my accounts (remember, i have two?). The hyperlink text is never exactly what i need but it gives me the structure so i dont have to type everything from scratch, since im a tad lazy in that department. since i still remember oldskool web lingo, i was able to modify the code in a short amount of time. after previewing and double-checking my work, i felt it was spiffy enough to add to my flickr account, a link which you may find in my "Check It Out..." section, and added a little blurb about it while i was there. in retrospect, i almost never supplement my photos/work with text, but perhaps with some of the more technical things it might be useful if i added some detail so the viewer might understand more about what they are looking at. otherwise sometimes things might seem less intriguing to some who dont understand what efforts went into something or simply the purpose behind sharing such an image.

what i do...
i would like to remind my friends to frequently check my other page, if not join my friend list on both pages.

this page focuses more on my personal life, my thoughts, feelings, and occasionally my writings.

my other page focuses more on what i do- my musicianship. i am a dj and a producer. surprise! did you know that? you should... if you dont then you definitely should go over and check it out! dig it.

new account...
today i created my musician's account. i am still working on it, but myspace is having some tech issues and crapped out on me before i could complete the job.

right now it has 3 songs but as soon as myspace gets editing up again i will add a fourth.

if i havent added you yet, please request to be added! :) (yes, i want you on both accounts!)

and right here is now: http://www.myspace.com/djsquelch2

i know this page used to have the first addy but no longer. while i was modifying my accounts at the same time today, the other account took this addy, which works well for me actually. :)

btw, tom's sposed to be our rep to help us? he never replies to my letters, so he's off my lists. very unprofessional, tom...

yeah, im broadening my cultural horizons... dig that.

back-words... profiles

profiles...
no matter how i work at, it im never satisfied. i dont feel as though i can ever truly reveal the depth of who i am. i think about whether i have remembered everything, said enough or too much, if lies through omission is acceptable, and that sort of thing. it takes a lot of time and emotional energy to put your all into one of these things. is it actually worth it? you tell me...

back-words... more about me personally...

more about me personally...
i would like to remind people i have a personal page. i would suggest that you are on my friend list on both pages since each page suites a different purpose and different posts and blogs go to each page.

this page doesnt show much about me and and for some reason thats the way the musician pages are set up. if i had a choice i would simply post my music on my main page. dontcha just love myspace and its little idiosyncrasies?
