Guess Who’s Back!
Hey everyone Ryan here, its been a while since I blogged on here so I figured i’d let everyone know that I am now back to adding posts to my blogs. Here is an update on what I have been doing lately.
As some of you may already know I work as a Web Developer for GamerNode.com (A gaming news, reviews, and previews site). I also now have a few new people I work for.
Some people I am going to / have been working with recently are Aaron McGowan (Good friend of mine, we go back all the way to 100 web space), and Jesse Wingert (Jesse is a friend of mine I met at GamerNode, he is a designer).
Hopefully with these new relationships I will be able to start making some more money from web-related jobs (DynaTech Media has been rather slow..).
For now i’m out.
~ Ryan
Tons of Updates
Well everyone, long time no blog. I have been up to a lot lately, and I will tell you here.
First off, I have been EXTREMELY busy with web development work. I am currently working on multiple projects ranging from personal websites, Gaming news site (GamerNode.com), and many more.
I would also like to note that I HAVE been also doing some work on the new RM249.COM, but not much due to the amount of client work that i have.
I have installed phpBB3 Olympus RC1 on RM249.COM [http://forums.rm249.com/], register now!
I also got really bored one night and decided to create a Video Game Music Video (VMGV), check it out at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pqJvjSE3hU
Hmm… what else is there, in case everyone hasn’t already checked out eXgs gaming, check out the official forums @ http://www.exgs-gaming.com/

Updates
Well, it has been quite a while since I last posted on my blog so here is a bit of an update on what have been going on lately. I have been really busy working on one of my client’s (Eric Lee’s World of Photography) website design and coding these past few weekends, along with me and my friend Hubi’s hosting company - DynaTech Hosting. School is going kinda boring - only one more week until next semester, that means new classes! I am going to attempt to use my Community Service block for Web Page Design with Mr. Stevenson, my original intentions were to use it for being an aid for TV Productions, but after hearing about how that class is going, I think that it would be better if I were to use it for Web Page Design.

Another Project, Gaming Saturn
Me and my good friend Hubi have created a new gaming blog website at Gaming Saturn. This new project is basically just a gaming blog “By Gamers, For Gamers”. Hubi and I, along with Irishcult, Yeah Why Not?, and anyone else we can find that wants to blog about video games will update the blog as soon as we hear about something new and interesting coming out.

The site features a modified version of Hubi’s latest DynaCMS build, along with the latest version of my template system.

Well seeing that I have not posted in a while here is an update on my current web design projects.
Currently I am working on a project for my mom’s friend from work who owns ELee’s World of Photography - A professional photography business owned and operated by Eric Lee.
Another project I am currently working on through Perritech is Starr’s Cars - A car dealership, and Re-Education Services - An education re-education school.
And then yet ANOTHER project is Half-Life Node through GamerNode Inc. I am helping Greg slice the Half-Life Node design and converting to HTML / CSS. Next we are going to have Paris help us with integrating the PHP.
A few projects in the works are the following:
- Redesign of Brooker Fanatics
- Redesign of RM249.COM
- Coding of DynaTech-Media and DynaTech-Hosting
File Hosting
I have now fixed the file hosting script and you can register for 50MB of free space at http://files.rm249.net/. This script is perfect for people who are in school and dont have a thumb drive / storage devic. Feel free to register and upload any word documents, powerpoints, and more. If you are having any problems uploading a certain type of file, send me a private message within the script.

Brooker Fanatics Updates
Over the past day and a half I have been working on developing a member’s YouTube gallery. Example: http://www.brookerfanatics.com/member/Brookers loads all videos that Brooke has created and displays them on the site. http://www.brookerfanatics.com/ut.php is my work in progress page of the page that shows all users that have the YouTube value set in their forum profiles (Does not look too pretty, but it will when it is officially released.)
On a side note I have also updated the YouTube code on the site player so that it now does not have the white borders around the edges.

School, Dynatech
Here is my current situation:
By tommorrow I have to have 5 articles (not currently found yet) and write for each a Critical Analysis. I knew about this, and I should have worked on it some over the past weekend, but I have been extremely busy working on other things such as the new RM249.COM template, alpha version of the new Brooker Fanatics design, and working on the server… I am going to spend the next 4-5 hours of my day (Wednsday) working on the Critical Analysis papers of these 5 articles, so tonight I wont be on much.
On a side note I do not have school on Friday (:D) so I will be able to work on the DynaCMS Beta (http://dynacms.dynatech-media.com/) some and add some more functionality to it, possibly incorporating my Backup system that I released for 100 Web Space users (See the 100webspace forums for more information).
