Dracoselene’s Twisted Musings

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. (or possibly run for your life.) Thanks for visiting!

I finally got the gallery working the way I want (yes I know it took a while). You’ll notice a few thumbnails on your right and a new page link at the top of the page. Take a look, grab some wallpapers and tell your friends. I’ll add new ones in a seemingly random manner LOL. I’m getting started on some new work and letting Selene out of her closet again so expect great things on this blog in the coming days and weeks!

Well I finally got back to doing something with my blog. I added a Gallery feature thingy over there on the right and a facebook sharing button. (psst, tell your friends about me). Right now I only have a couple of small versions of some of my wallpapers made from my 3D but it’s better than nothing right? I’ll get the full sized ones up soon, no worries!

So I recover my computer from a nasty virus and start getting some things done, then Briana’s computer decides to eat itself. I figure, no problem, I’ll just fix it. Yeah right. I was lucky to get all her work backed up on my computer. The power supply on hers overheated and burned up. One harddrive in the trash. Still I figure I can get her back up and working. Franken-puter to the rescue, I’ll just cannibalize a buncha parts and a build a new system. Then she finds out that new installs of XP are no longer supported for updates. At that point I lost it. I had already set up an account for her on my computer for while I was trying to fix hers, so now that’s what she is using. I could still build a computer out of the parts I have lying around but with no OS that’s a waste of time.

Oh, and did I mention that we are now looking for a place to live? We are. Maybe some kind of room and board for housework kinda thing if we can. Anyway, now you know why my blog looks like I have abandoned it. I haven’t, I just decided that Briana’s online work takes priority over mine. Take a look at her blog if you wanna know what’s going on with us. I’ll be back to blogging and art as soon as I can be. Until then, Y’all take care!

I know it’s been quite a long time since I posted anything at all on this blog or anywhere else for that matter. I can only ask for your patience and understanding in this trying time. I went to all my neurology tests and follow-ups only to be told that the major cause for my neurological problems is stress and depression. Talk about wanting to smack a doctor. So anyway, after that I decided to try a few new things and had the wonderful pleasure of suddenly having to deal with a virus called Win32:Vitro. In case you don’t know what it is or does, lemme tell you. If your anti-virus program happens to be one of the few that will detect it, you are going to have to format your entire hard drive. There is no other way to get rid of it. So I had to back up what little I could (it infects all .exe’s, html’s, doc’s, and I think php’s also) and format my computer. After that it was a loooong process of re-installing windows and all the other programs I use, plus re-inserting what backups I had, updating XP and all the other programs, digging out year-old backups and generally stating over from scratch. I still haven’t got everything re-installed and back to operational status yet.

As I said, I had decided to try a few new things before the virus, so that’s what I’ve been doing for a few weeks, on top of a billion other little things that life keeps throwing at me. I’m working on making wordpress themes for download and sale. I’m also getting things together to make flash games and toys. Both of these things have a rather intense learning curve, but WP themes are the easier of the two to learn. Expect to see my first hand-made WP available for free download very soon. After that I hope that things on this blog can return back to some semblance of normal. I’ll get back to posting my thoughts and pinups and free wallpapers while making more WP themes and learning what I can about flash apps.

BTW, this also means I’ll be changing the theme I use here. this theme is very visually appealing, but I think I can make something that loads faster and smoother. I’m also re-designing the theme for Briana’s Blog of Madness so keep your eyes peeled for a (slightly) new look over there too.

Like any other religion or philosophy, the Draconic Path has a set of rules, a code of conduct we strive to follow. Unlike other paths however, we acknowledge that our code is a list of guidelines. We know that there is no real punishment for failing to follow our code. We strive to follow it because we want to better ourselves. To fail the code is to fail one’s self. We also know that over time the code must change and adapt, as we must change and adapt. Here is the Draconic code, as I have interpreted it.

It behooves all who are Draconic to act in ways that give respect to the old ways, to others, and to themselves. Therefore, be it noted that:

Ours is a high code of honor which is of most ancient origin, and must be lived by all who follow the ways of the Dragon. Read more…
