Website design, programming, technique, and work.

Websites Transferred

I just wanted to make note that I transferred this website, LunarStudio, and another blog over to MediaTemple over the course of the last two days. There’s been a significant increase in performance and speed – I think over 300% in the case of LunarStudio. It’s a bit of a nail-biting experience when it comes […]

Transferring Servers

In between all of my art-related projects, I’ve been working on two other websites that’s still under wraps. I’ve discovered a lot of techniques recently (both WordPress and server-related) that should speed upload times and responsiveness of the pages being served. Unfortunately, I haven’t had the time to implement these tricks on this website. I’ll […]

Current Schedule

I’ve said it a few times in other posts – I’ve been slammed with work recently and there doesn’t seem to be any stopping the onslaught. They’re not the huge, multiple rendering and animation projects that I had a couple years back. They don’t pay nearly as handsomely, but they’re small and there’s tons of […]

Lunarlog Website Redesign

I reworked the look and feel of this blog over the course of the last two days. The last look was a template that I cobbled together with some minor alterations before the domain set to expire . It worked for the time-being, but I wasn’t completely satisfied with the results. I think to some […]

WordPress Twitter Integration

I’m testing out two plugins for this WordPress blog: Twitter Widget Pro and WP to Twitter. I haven’t used Twitter much to be honest. Part of me really wonders why I would want to Twitter every bit of my work and life for the entire world to see. To some degree, I also think it […]

Outsourcing Creativity

Some day, people will look back to the early 21st century and think to themselves, “what an innovative and chaotic time of humanity to have lived in.” They will see our movies, commercials, music, blogs, papers, excitement, happiness, violence, wars, and suffering like no other generation which came before us. The digital age of world-wide […]

The Importance of Contracts

Background I was recently ripped-off on one of my projects back in January. It’s the first time that this has ever happened to me in the 10+ years that I have either been freelancing or running LunarStudio. Over the years, I’ve worked on over several hundred images and websites, and I’ve never once encountered any […]

Setting up my Homepage

My New Homepage This is an article about my homepage setup. This is how I generally browse the web whenever I log on. Over the years, I’ve tried to make things more efficient. I spend a lot of time in front of the computer, so I’ve found a bunch of tips and tricks which makes […]

Additional HDRs Added to HDRSource

I just wanted to make a quick mention that I added some additional HDRs (High Dynamic Range Images) to my other website, HDRSource. They were taken roughly about a month ago, but I’ve had little time from my main work to process them until now. If you have a moment, please check them out. I’ve […]

HDRSource High Dynamic Range Images

My newly redesigned website, HDRSource is up and running again. In all actuality, it never really went anywhere – I just had laid off promoting it for several years as the real work with LunarStudio managed to keep me preoccupied. It’s one of the first online stores that sold HDRs and HDR libraries. I created […]
