After meandering through forevergeek.com I fell upon 1 TB email storage. I was like whoa! First of all, I do have a gmail account that is a gigabyte of storage. Just to let you know in case you didn’t know, most email services such as yahoo mail give you 250 megabytes. (They used to only do like 10mbs, and then 100mbs, now its 250…) That is a quarter of the space gmail gives you. Here is a very rough chart on sizes. I started with megabytes.

1000 megabytes = 1 gigabyte
1000 gigabytes = 1 terabyte
1000 terabytes = 1 petabyte

Basically I have one of the largest personal email space allotment on the internet for free. Granted, the system isn’t all that great compared to Gmail, yet still it’s 1000 gigabytes! It’s basically a private huge hardrive that you have access to anwhere you have internet access too. If you feel like you want to have a huge email account, why not get an account over at hriders.com.

Also if you want to email me there just for kicks, like a huge something, go ahead and email danisblan@hriders.com

Here is a few things that I have fell upon the last few days that I thought I would like to share with all my readers. For one, the yahoo video search. It’s way cool if you are bored and want to watch something funny. It can also be very useful. Take for instance the day before I found this video search I was helping my friend Daniel create a little video presentation on Vietnam and the 1960’s. It would have been so much easier if I just found this so we could find some old vietnam footage.

The next thing for your enjoyment is my del.icio.us list. It is a constantly updated list or rather bookmarks that I add throughout the day. The list ranges greatly. If you are looking for some cool stuff on the internet, I might have already posted a link. Check it out at http://del.icio.us/construct

That’s almost like Fed Ex, yet not at all. I’m fed up with school and myself for the most part. Oh, by the way, this is somewhat of an angry post, just getting out my thoughts. Don’t worry, I’m really not an angry person. Keep reading if you wish to see my fed up thoughts.

This is such an awesome idea. Check out coudal.com for the Society of HandHeld Hushing. It’s a wonderful idea basically to shutup loud people on a cell phone around you.

Finals are over, and this quarter is now over aswell. It was a rather boring quarter for myself due to having a bunch of online classes. That did not stop me from having lots of funa nd meeting many new people. To the left, that is 6 phones. Yes we were on a 6-way call. It was awesome.

I met some new people, Anne, Kat, Joey, John, and Jamie. Then the regulars were hangning out as well such as Anthony, Yen, and Albert.

I’m excited to say that I am somebodies “new favorite person.” Well Kat, you are my new favorite as well. There is some good shots of all of us in the usual place or

Its good to go home for a couple weeks. I will be able to get some much needed work done such as a few web related projects that need to be finished. Cheers to all and Happy Holidays.

Welcome to the new design. I’ve been working on this like non-stop for the past week, and I am pleased with the results. I’ve written more about the design on the about page. Let me just say a few things because I am really tired.

For one, here is some of my design inspiration.
justwatchthesky.com and
shauninman.com

Those websites are just plain awesome. I’ve learned alot throughout this design, and just overall become better. I’ve been paying attention to colors and gradients and layout and all sorts of things. One really notable change for this design is the use of sIFR which is a Flash replacement tool. I have used it for the post titles as well as the navigation system.

Notice the big ol box up there? Yeah, that’s my new little spotlight section. I’ll be putting up graphics and photos and all sorts of fun stuff up there. To get info on that particular photo or whatever it may be, just click the little “info” in the top right. For now I am welcoming you to the new design.

In closing, I still have a few things to clean up. For one the archives are odd looking, and I really want to add a search box. As for me, that is one of the most important usable features to have in a website. That’s it for now, I’m way sleepy….

I put up some photos from last night. It was quite a fun time. I hadn’t hung out with most of these people for a long time, so it was good to catch up and have a good time. There is some new ones on Flickr (click photo)

The majority of the photos are over at my main photo website, photos.adion44.com

I have finally updated my portfolio website: constructds.com. For a long time it has just been sitting there with a very plain template, yet now it is fancy!

I’m working on it more and more as there is always something to fix or do better with a website, yet I’m just happy to finally release this version. Enjoy!
