Far too long

Sat Sep 8, 2007, 1:41 PM
Well I haven't been on DA much in the past months. Thats only because a lot has been going on in my life. My son just started kindergarten last week. That has been a lot of fun. He likes it for the most part, but doesn't understand why he has to go to school. He will get used to it over time, so its not so bad. Also my wife and I found out that she is pregnant and we will be expecting our second child around February. She is wanting to have a girl, and for the first time I don't have a preference in gender of the baby. I already have my boy, and thats what I wanted from the start. Now hopefully she can have what she wants.

Also i'm getting more and more work to do so that keeps me plenty busy. My hardware review site Altgamer is doing well and expanding. I have been working on the new design for it the past couple of months and now i'm about 95% done with the coding. It should be going live in the next couple of weeks, just got some more things to work out on the code. When i'm done the new design it won't just be a main site redo, but also redone company pages with tons more links and info about us, a daily deals page which includes some of the hottest deals on electronics on the web (for that day only, most of the time), and a brand new forum theme that matches the website. As for right now the new forum theme only works in Mozilla/Firefox. IE7 doesn't support it (man does it look like crap in IE7), and I have no idea about IE6 since I have moved over to Vista and no longer own it. Once everything is done with the new design it will give me more space for content, look more professional on my part, and provide ad space for manufacturers wanting to buy ads. I really hate putting ads on the site, but hell I have to make money somehow since i'm not getting paid to run the site as it is. I put a lot of work into it for very little rewards each month. You can see the old site design by visiting Altgamer or looking at the design on here. So as you can see I have my hands full and thats why I have not been on DA for a long time now.

Thank you! I guess thats what happens when things go your way, you leave everything else behind for a while. I really wish I could make some more designs and wallpapers to upload, but i'm just too busy right now. I like my review site too much to do anything else, since it is paying right now i'll keep with that. Hope everything is going good for you too man. Hopefull you'll get to submit some more work soon.
