Resume now online

I replaced the PDFolio link with a link to my updated resume. I also updated the Sketch and Design galleries yesterday night. There are two inked illustrations in the Sketch section and two new [to you] designs in the Design section. I will be adding descriptions to the new entries in the galleries shortly.

I also updated the Links page yesterday night too, and this evening. There are only a few links to the sites I view the most.

I also added more ads to the site. I'm broke, can you blame me? :P I might be coming around to the expiration of my web hosting plan, so any visits to the advertised sites would be appreciated. The lot of them are geared toward my own interests, so no, no pyramid schemes, no links to phishing sites, none of that deceptive crap.

If there is one promotion I'd like to steer you all towards, it's SlashMySearch.com. With this search engine, you get paid to search. Yes, people actually get paid to use their search engine, and users make more money when they refer people to SlashMySearch.com. The reason for this is that SMS pays its users to refer people, thus letting SMS avoid paying out big bucks for advertisement and and outside affiliate programs elsewhere. SMS is partnered with Snap.com, which is a wonderful search engine. With Snap.com, you can preview snapshots of sites before going to them. That way you can avoid unnecessary search results. SlashMySearch.com is in beta right now, but the services offered are pretty good. If you don't mind making a bit of money essentially doing nothing, it wouldn't hurt you to spend a minute signing up there. :)

Torrent Tracker added to site officially

I finally got off my rear to add a link to my torrent tracker. What brought it on is a new torrent uploaded to the site (with permission, of course). The newest torrent is of a freeware game called Doukutsu Monogatari, translated by Aeon Genesis Translations to what we English-speaking gamers know as Cave Story.

A wonderfully done Japanese platformer game by Studio Pixel, Cave Story is a refreshing experience that brings the classic platformer gameplay back to gamers of old and introduces new gamers to the beauty of a true 2D side scrolling adventure. Cave Story has a great story, a cast of colorful and comical characters, and the graphics, music, and effects are awesomely done to create a classic console feel. I'm not saying it can't be done, but you're not going to want to play this game with your keyboard. Cave Story's controls are simple, but the action can get fast-paced. Trust me, a PC controller is recommended; it's more fun with a controller anyway (imo).

That's my little review of the game. The torrent is actual
