It's slightly easier to update, as I only have to change some numbers in the widget, but it's still far from automatic.<br />
<br />
Ideally, I'd prefer to just have a page on here with all the shots in a list, with boxes by each one that I could tick, and it would calculate the percentage and other number changes itself. I had tried to accomplish something like that by putting the list in Google Docs and making it publicly accessible for chart usage, but I ran into problems. If anyone knows of a solution along those lines, please pass along that information.<br />
<br />
Also, I'm now putting a "<a href="http://pldiary.blogspot.com/search/label/completed%20shots">completed shots</a>" tag on any announcements of that kind of progress, in addition to the vaguer "progress" tag.Shawnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00330575135170549086noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5930805274202418619.post-13778641069219528462010-02-18T21:29:00.000-08:002010-03-23T16:16:43.094-07:00Migration completeAlthough the migration of posts to the Blogspot host was quick and easy, it took many hours to restyle the page template to resemble the previous version and add all the new stuff. But here it is, at its new location, <a href="http://pldiary.blogspot.com/">http://pldiary.blogspot.com</a><br />
<br />
I'm deprecating the old blog, but leaving a forwarding page there.<br />
<br />
I've also gone through a couple of older posts and restored broken links to the screenshots which were located in the now-defunct galleries. See the posts using the new "<a href="http://pldiary.blogspot.com/search/label/screenshots">screenshots</a>" tag.<br />
<br />
Also take your pick of tracking systems in the navigation bar, including various aggregators through Feedburner, email notification, and Google's "Friend Connect" thing that I've never tried.<br />
<br />
Next thing I need to get up here is a new progress chart, and maybe a video clip or some more screenshots.Shawnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00330575135170549086noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5930805274202418619.post-68039787245921180182010-02-17T15:03:00.000-08:002010-02-18T15:30:54.580-08:00Migration and updatesAs was mentioned on the main WR news blog, Blogger is shutting down the FTP publishing version of these blogs as of May 1, so this blog is joining the others in migrating to their other system. This will mean a new address and probably improvements with the content posted here.<br /><br />In addition, the screenshots, video clips, and other material will be henceforth posted on <a href="http://shawnthetouched.deviantart.com/">my Deviant Art account</a> and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/ShawnTheTouched">my Youtube account</a>, according to their nature.<br /><br />In the meantime, I've restored the broken content here, though the posts between now and the time it broke in the first place seem to be missing.<br /><br />Coming with the changes will be better navigation, searching, and tracking for you readers, and hopefully also a more useful progress meter than the frequently misunderstood chart I've been using here.Shawnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00330575135170549086noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5930805274202418619.post-13826975391676004112008-09-01T05:27:00.000-07:002010-02-20T14:28:57.355-08:00s04-c02 doneAnother shot in the can, this time one of Pepper.

As the graph now shows, Scene 1 is now complete in its entirety, and I have 2 new shots underway simultaneously. A fire was lit underneath me recently and I finally got over that stumbling block.<br />

I would have had a screenshot of the completed shot to show here, but the gallery system I used last time is undergoing another unexpected revision, and I have no idea when it will be back again or what the URL will be. I'm getting tired of having to change my links every time there's a change there.<br />

I didn't mention it here because it's not ready to show anything from it yet.<br />
<br />
Also, I've created a thread in the forum to enable people to receive e-mail notifications of updates to this diary, rather than needing to check it manually. [Edit: I've put up an RSS subscription link, that should be more convenient.]<br />
<br />
The <del>AFAN gallery</del>, where the screenshot of the last post was placed, has a few pieces of new art in it as well. When I post a new screenshot of the current shot, I'll move the previous one into a new album in this gallery specifically for screenshots.<br />
