GeekHeroComic.com is up!

Thursday, October 30th, 2008

Hello friends! I have registered GeekHeroComic.com and now it’s up. Don’t worry, you don’t need to update your bookmarks or your feed subscription, because the first will be seeminglessly redirected, and the second just didn’t change!

And for all of you, happy Visual Basic coding… NOT!

New wallpaper

GH WallpaperEnjoy this fresh new goodie in the Stuff section! As usual, this was created using solely Open Source programs. I copied Randie from one of the comics, exported him to a large size, and opened that in The Gimp. Then I did a few tricks, like duplicating the ink layer and setting a gaussian blur to it, so it looks like he’s glowing. Then I created those radial line using a conic gradient, and applied a rust pattern plus some plasma cloud plugin sweetness to that panel behind Randie. Anyone wanting the XCF file? It’s free of course!

Site redesign!

Sunday, October 19th, 2008

Dear readers, as it seems I’ve been getting a bunch of new fans lately, I thought I might make the website a little nicer, so I redesigned some parts. Come and visit and let me know if you like it! I hadn’t been working on HTML/CSS stuff for a while, and that’s why I owe a HUGE thanks to the Firebug team, for having created such an awesome thing.
