    Gah!

    Wednesday, December 12th, 2007

    Is it Wednesday already? Bear with me, it’s turning into “one of those weeks.”
    Until I get some time to write, have fun with these three characters in hats.

    Site Performance

    Thursday, October 11th, 2007

    If you’ve been having trouble loading the site, or my entries show up in your RSS feeds hours (or days) after I’ve posted them, please drop me an email at corvus (dot) elrod at zakelro (dot) com, or whatever other email address you might already have on hand for me. You can also just leave [...]

    Monday Man-O-Phant

    Monday, October 1st, 2007

    This is going to be a very full week. I have some catching up to do with web-work. The new proto-Attic sits unfinished on a test site awaiting an upgrade to Wordpress 2.3, some visual refinement and a transfer of content. I’m also putting the finishing touches on one contract and should be starting another [...]

    First Upset of the New Bloggin Schedule!

    Thursday, September 27th, 2007

    It’s pretty clear I won’t be getting my feature post up today. I ran into some delays on another project and the post I’m working is getting longer and longer and longer… I’d rather not rush it out the door, so I thought I’d offer up my Friday post today instead. Just this morning I [...]

    What IS a Zakelro, Exactly?

    Friday, September 21st, 2007

    Here’s a little something for a quiet Friday. This is a new header image for rotation at Zakelro. Non-RSS visitors may have noticed that I’ve implemented a random header image both there and, as of yesterday, here at MBB as well. It’s a simple and pretty inelegant hack which uses a rigid file naming convention [...]

    Tale of Two Tribes

    Tuesday, May 8th, 2007

    I thought I’d toss up a few more details about the tribes that now populate the Drachurae Cycles.
    The Kartan are a jungle dwelling tribe. They are strongly aligned with the element of Vitae, or Life. They are a tall people and their young often tower over the adult warrior of their ancient tribal foes, the [...]

    Drachurae Cycle, Time & Culture

    Thursday, April 26th, 2007

    The events of the Drachurae Cycle are trapped within a massive loop of time, destined to turn back on itself whenever a massive discharge of energy is released into the system. This results in shifts which cannot be perceived by the mortal denizens of the Tawaksigh.
    The most recent shift removed all but three native races [...]

    How ‘Bout Them Thar Funny Books?

    Tuesday, April 24th, 2007

    Ms. Z and I are reading the Buffy Season 8 comic book, in hopes the Joss will redeem seasons 6 and 7 of the television series (that’s more my stance than hers).
    Here’s a quick sidebar on the decline of Buffy that doesn’t bother ranting about Marti’s involvement… directly. The early seasons highlighted the general inanity [...]

    l8r g8r

    Wednesday, April 18th, 2007

    I’m working on a new t-shirt design:

    …and in other news, the current Round Table deadline has been extended to May 8th!
