Welcome to Sorcerer's Isle, a weblog covering a multitude of topics, ranging from programming to 3D graphics; photography to gadgets; tutorials to tinkering.
Within Sorcerer's Isle are three sub-blogs, which each focus on different aspects:
At Sorcerer's Tower you'll find programming and web dev; Midnight Isle covers photography and digital art; and with 100% Geek you'll find gadgets, gaming, technology, and more.
Articles may appear on just one of the weblogs, or across multiple, but every article posted will always appear on this one.
The team behind the StackOverflow Q&A programming site have created a place for people to propose new Q&A sites to be created - once enough people have voted in favour of a proposal, the site gets created.
Although it has plenty of flaws (which I'm happy to point out), the Stack Exchange platform is still a good way of getting quick and comprehensive answers to questions, and it's much better than many of the forums out there.
So, there are two of these proposals which I am following, and if you are into either photography or 3d graphics you should definitely consider checking out these links, and following the proposals too:
These sites will only be created when enough people have followed/committed to them, so please spread these links to anyone else who might be interested.
In the comments for a recent Stack Overflow blog article, Chris asked:
Can somebody photoshop the top 7 SO users by reputation (Jon Skeet's face onto Superman) onto that comic, just to make me chuckle!
Which sounded like fun, so I went ahead and did it.
Was a fairly quick job, so there's some rough bits, but I hope you like it, Chris.
I have upgraded my old set of minimalist emoticons, which were 8-bit black-on-white and didn't look good on anything other than a white background.
The new edition of MiniEmotes now uses alpha-transparency to ensure they look good against any background.
