Cuz I'm just that mental.

I haven't been keeping this site up to date lately, as I've been to busy working on everyone else's and sculpting. But this should allow me to update more often as it's much faster.

Why reinvent the wheel?
There are lots of blogging platforms after all. There's just something about having complete control, and knowing exactly how everything functions. Too many people are calling themselves web designers these days for doing nothing more than using moveable type (blog software) to create a website. Pet peeve of mine. Seeing someone charge $3000 to someone while all they did was use free software...
Plus this was just more fun, and it's the component of something larger I'm working on...

And as much as all me OCAD chums were like [huh?] it actually does have a lot to do with my sculpture. PHP (what this is written in) is based on C, and I'll be programming my next set of animatronics in C or C++ instead of basic. So the same basic theories behind the arrays that run this site, will make a future sculpture do motion tracking.

No it's not open source, but yes it will be used on other sites. Just need to make sure there's no bugs first. And clean up a few things.

The site will change looks once I have the engine running it looking good. I'm more worried about making everyone else's site look good and W3 Validated rather than my own.

What's new?
-Comments!! There are now over 150 journal entries and not a single darn comment on any. So I'll give ya $5 if you make one! Plus it's spiffy. I added cookies so it'll remember you and a java preview.
Also categories, and an RSS feed most notably.

1/3 RSS agregators recognize your RSS feed as being 'real'... the other two belive your XML is wrong...

An invalid XML was returned from http://www.brandejs.ca/jo urnal_rss.xml

Google reader gets it right, but Wizz (Firefox) and Mozilla Thunderbird don't recognize it.

hmmm it validates as far as w3 standards go, so that means firefox is not following strict standards. I'll find the reason and do a workaround.

All is working with the RSS now. Apparently servers send the mime type as well (all learnign experiences) and while the file was fully valid, it was giving problems as it was getting defined as html, instead of xml. The file extension doens't mean a thing in the new world order of the net as I found out. also corrected the encoding as I had to overwrite my servers 'US' encoding with 'UTF-8'.

I'll add more features to the RSS feed soon. just needed to get all that cleared up.
