What I love to do, what I do I love

A short post, but one that will hopefully whet your appetite a bit. I'm a programmer by trade, and a fairly good one if I say so myself. I'm also an avid gamer, and love playing all sorts of games. I'm also a founder of a rather successful online community that deals with PHP. So, it's safe to say that I have all the necessary skills to do... something cool. I'm hammering away at the code. It's 40k related. It's community related. It's something I want to use, and I'm certain other people would get a lot of use out of. Best of all, it really doesn't exist out there, at all, for the war gaming community. Man, this SVN import is taking a while. Anyways, back to writing up a proper schema.

Lots of Dice Logo

My wife thinks my site sucks. At least the look of the site, and the logo, or lack-of one, inspired her to come up with a new logo. These are the ones she came up with. Oh, she had other logos, but weren't happy with them. These are the logos that made it, and even then, she has her favorites. Each one has an element I like. Considering I'm planning on using this logo in the future for other ventures beyond just a website, the logo is important to me. I want the logo to be something that can easily be made black and white, or at least keep the elements recognizable without color. The logo should be easy to put on clothing or business cards, and it should also go a long way toward telling people what the site is about. For these reasons, I had her make a d20 sided dice to see how that would fit in. So far, #4 is my favorite. Numbers 1 and 2 do a great job at making a simple logo, though I fear the potentional confusing between gaming and gambling.

On a side note, I had fun exlaining to her that dice are numbered in a particular way. Opposite sides add up to the total number of sides plus 1. So 1 is opposite 6, 2 is opposite 5, and 3 is opposite 4. I'm not sure if her d20 follows the same rules, but if I went to far, she'd probably smack me upside the head.

So what are your thoughts on the logo? Color schemes can be modified, I'm sure, but I'd like to know what you think.

Comments Working Again

Yeah, so the old blog template, I guess, didn't have working comments. Forget it. Not gonna mess with it anymore. Simply easy template that doesn't get too fussy and it works. Sorry, now back to the regularly scheduled program.

To 40k Only

I don't have many readers, I'm sure, but I still wanted to post this here. In order to keep things nice and organized, I'll be moving my non 40k posts to another blog in a few days. I'll provide a link to it here of course, and it will be updated just like this one. I just have a strong desire to keep things organized nicely.

Most of the older content will remain, but will be moved over as well. The 40k stuff won't change.

As far as my YouTube Videos go, I'll be setting up a new channel for that. It will actually be named LotsOfDice! Yay! It will run all my gaming related videos. Of course, all my 40k videos will be posted here, so no worries about that.

As far as upcoming content, I got some fun stuff in store. My friends and I are planning an Apocalypse game! So you'll get to see the build up for that. I'm also working on a big chaos base. I'll have some videos up soon on how I'm doing that, and you'll see each of the steps. Should be interesting, as I've never done anything like it. You'll also get to see me try and build up my Baneblade, and maybe something else. You'll see!
