Chemistry Blows!
Hi folks,

This will be the last update until I’m done taking my chemistry final, which is next Thursday. It’s all or nothing for me now since I already failed all the quizzes. But any who, there’s some new stuff this time around.

I’ve been teaching myself some CSS and it’s finally making some sense. Here’s a layout I made that fully incorporates CSS within the code scheme; it’s not valid CSS, but the coding works quite well across both Firefox and Internet Explorer. The layout was for a friend of mine, but in the end he decided not to go through with making the website. I don’t have a need for it so feel free to use it. You can download it by clicking here and the preview is below.


Also, check out ProtoWhale’s newest affiliate, Deadly Nightshade. It’s a cool and fresh graphic website that is own by Ai. The site itself is unique in every aspect so please do give Deadly Nightshade a click or two.


And there's this contest that ProtoWhale is participating in, it would be cool if you could vote for it to be the site of the month. Big thanks!

Solaris Designs SOTM

Until then, and wish me luck on my chemistry final. I’m going to need it badly. But yeah, if there is a god out there now is the time to make a miracle happen. ;)

My Stomach… It Hurts…
I think I might have food poisoning. Yesterday at Chilies’, I had this chicken fajita and after that my stomach starting aching. After watching The Dark Knight my head started pounding like crazy, it was a really good movie by the way, and it hasn’t gotten any better since.

Anyways, I failed another chemistry quiz again. But on the bright side, if I manage to get a D average on it overall, I should be able to pass the class with a solid C. So it’s all good, hopefully. =/

Yeah, there’s not much site related this time around. I’m too sick to work on anything and summer school is being a real bitch. If anyone is interested, here’s a concept layout I’m messing around with. It’s still a work in progress; many things need fixing and what not.



edit:

Check out Jenny's site, Kiss and Tell. She is ProtoWhale's newest affiliate so give her a click or two. =)

100% Complete!
Well… it's more like 90% completed. So far, everything is uploaded and all the pages are working properly, but there’s hardly any content. You can’t really have a site without any decent content right? I can worry about that stuff later, but for now I’m just glad everything is up and running.

The first thing that you probably noticed is the new ProtoWhale banner. Yep, it actually relates to the concept of the site. That fruity cloud banner wasn’t really doing it for me. I mean, it didn’t even make any sense. Clouds? Huh? Any who, this new banner looks rather decent; it’s not bad nor is it great and I couldn’t really have finished it without the help from my friend Sean, so if you’re reading this thanks. Speaking of concept, here were two early ones for the banner. To the left is well a whale with a pencil and to the right is some wrack kid riding a flying skateboard. In the end, both were used the site. Um, the whale was use for the banner and the kid was used for the about page I believed.


And speaking of the about me page, it’s finally done! At the moment, there’s hardly any info so hopefully ProtoWhale survives long enough to actually have some meaningful stuff.

Oh, did you know that other sites gave out awards? I sure didn’t. So when I found out, I thought that it would cool to apply for some, thus far ProtoWhale received two! Think one is like a lovely site award and the other is a daydream site award. No clue what they mean, but none the least it’s an honor to receive them.


Lastly since there’s a lack of content, I made an avatar and a signature. Well it’s more like taking the ProtoWhale banner and resizing it down. It’s not much, but it’s something…


And as for any future plans, I’m guessing probably more tutorials and possibly some layouts. I gotta get better at my coding skills, and what better way to practice then by making some random digital stuff.


edit:

Here’s the rough sketch of the banner. I was bored in my chemistry class so to kill time I started doodling. I mean 90 minutes sure is a long time, and my professor is pretty much talking to a half-awake class. And somehow I manage to pull off a B on my midterm, man there must be a god or something. But I have a feeling I’m still gonna fail.


Oh yeah, ProtoWhale has a new affiliate, Kaleidoscope. This is a cool site, everything there is like all original and hand-drawn. It’s just awesome so give Kaleidoscope a quick click or two.


And here’s another award that ProtoWhale won. Man they just keep on rolling in. ;)

New Stuff
Just took my chemistry midterm today and it was bad. But hopefully the curve will save me; I seriously don’t wanna fail another class again. Oh, and the air quality is still suck here because of all the wildfires. On a lighter note I finally found time to squeeze in an update. So here’s the quick feed: portfolio, tutorials, and downloads sections were updated.

For the portfolio page, a new drawing was added. Well, it's more like a sketch that didn’t turn out right, but it doesn't hurt to post it up. This one guy I talk to said it suck, but he’s emo so he’s always negative about things.


I added a new signature to the downloads page. Someone pointed out that the text reads “Teaching Days” instead of “School Days”. Man, so much for that 4 years of French I took in high school.


And finally 4 tutorials were added. They’re pretty simple write-ups; I just made them so the site could have some kind of content. But I’m proud to say that their being featured on Pixel2Life and FStutorials. =)


Yep so that’s it for now. In the mean time I still need to get that about me page done and come up with an official logo for ProtoWhale. That fruity cloud banner just isn’t doing it anymore. I’m thinking of something along the line that incorporates a whale?

Fire! Fire! Fire!
If you haven't heard California is engulf with hundreds of wildfires and what sucks is that I live in the middle of it all. Every day for the pass week the sky is covered in smoke and the air quality isn't all that great. I have asthma so I can't really go outside much and to make things worst someone stole my bike. Now I have to walk across campus to get to my class and used my inhaler like every few steps. Man, I need to get in shape...


It wasn't cloudy day, that is the smoke from the fire. Cool eh?


On another note, ProtoWhale has another affiliate, PD Wallpapers. It's a gaming wallpaper website so give them a quick click or two.
