After LOST

After around three months of operation, ‘After LOST’ today reached a total of 100,000 hits, quite an outstanding achievement for such a small site.

I’d like to thank everyone who helped me get this small pet-project off the ground, you know who you are.

In regards to the future, there’s alot more comics to look forward to during the hiatus, so check regularly and be sure to subscribe to the RSS feed.

Still R.O.S.E.

C#: HTML Safe Entity Management

June 20th, 2008 posted by Bauer

I’ve been working alot recently with parsing output from HTML or user-based content and I’ve often come across the need for a HTML safe-entity replacement tool and so constructed a simple class to deal with replacing the entities. The class uses the NameValueCollection and so requires the System.Collections.Specialized namespace, so don’t forget to import that if needed.

Edit: I’m now looking for a better Wordpress addin to format C# code, the ones provided are useless.

LOST (and other) graphic designs

As a graphic designer, it is often difficult to find the right motivation to kick-start an actual piece of work. Often times the enthusiasm and the ability is present, however inspiration often isn’t; well, look no further as this web site is bound to influence your creative side.

I’m sure anyone who is reading this post is already aware of the eliteness that is KittyLili, however I felt an obligatory nod was in order to get things started.

It is difficult to say a bad word about Kitty’s work; the graphics always seem to capture the feelings derived from the amazing captures they’re based upon; whether it’s a new forum signature, avatar or website banner you need, or just a bit of inspiration to spur some ideas of your own, kittylili.com is the place to see.

Below are just some examples of her fantastic LOST-related images, however be sure to check out more of her awesome work at her web site, where there is a range of amazing works. If you do wish to use the banners, avatars or images, Kitty asks that you send her a message or leave a comment on her web site, and “credit is always [appreciated.]”

Glass of Orange

So it’s been a while, and I’ve finally put aside enough time to get something up here. I expect the look of this page to be tweaked and improved over the next few weeks, again–where time permits.

The idea of this site is to provide a kind-of central hub to keep anything I make, together–the first of which, being After LOST.

In terms of future, I have a few idea’s for the type of content I’ll be getting up here, but I’d like to keep an open mind as to what exactly will be the theme. Also, I intend to get a few collaboraters to keep things rolling quite regularly.

So, stay up to date with the RSS feeds and look out for (hopefully) a fairly regular span of updates throughout the summer.

Namaste.
