new news software :)

i just installed MovableType on my website, along with a nice little program called w.bloggar.

the MovableType software let me import all of my NewsPro posts going back to 2000 (over 160 updates), plus it allows me to remote post updates. instead of logging into a web interface, i can just open a small WordPad like app and just post an update real quick.

i might start updating the site more. :)

i really recommend w.bloggar if you have any blog or web sites with compatible news management software (PostNuke, b2, Blogger.com, etc).
and if you're still using NewsPro on your site (and maybe Coranto), i recommend upgrading to MovableType. it may be a little difficult to install at first, but once its running (and you understand it), its easier to update, has more features, and can import NewsPro stuff.

just a note: this message was posted with w.bloggar. it even allowed me to re-open and edit it without using the web interface.

site updates

just got done shuffling some stuff around, updating some templates, changing some newspro/archive stuff, and simplified the site layout, along with giving it a "smaller" appearance.

SUPAR AMAZING VIDEO

https://xenomorph.net/videos/can_minus.wmv (1.2 megs)

i did the stop motion animation
put all the frames together, added the text
made the avi of it

a friend of mine did the music
i put them together
blah blah blah

its just 30 seconds long. my friend has made a bunch of music over the years, and i was gonna try to put some of it to video. i got some other stuff in mind that i also want to try to do.

programs used:
me: chillcam (to take the pics), photoshop7 (to add site logo), ulead gif animator 5.0 (to combine pics and make AVI), movie maker 2.0 (to combine AVI and MP3), tmpgenc 2.5 (to cut down to 30 seconds), windows media encoder 9 (to convert back to WMV)

him: "altoMP3 maker" (not sure wtf that is), and i *think* OrionPro ..
