Dexter's Somewhat Mediocre Page
   




8-12-02 Okay fellas, read 'em and weep. This is it. The big update. The whammo. The humdinger. The knock-your-socks-off party. I've put at least thirty hours into this, so you kids had better like it. Here's a (non)brief outline of all I have done. Anime page: gone, staff page: gone, profile page: given more archive pages, rpg and video game pages: merged to one, each game gets separate page, storybook: added to main parts of page, and if you couldn't tell, they entire layout for the site is different! Finally, the newest section debuts. The picture of the day. I know a lot of places do a picture of the day, but this one will be different, unless you're thinking of explodingdog.com. It'll be pretty similar to that. I will take one thing that happened or that I thought about during the day and draw a picture of it. Included will be a brief sentence. If this doesn't get visitors to come back daily, I don't know what will. Now if you will excuse me, I stayed up all night, and now I have to get ready for the first day of school. Good day.
7-24-02 Exactly one year ago, I wrote the introduction to my autobiography. Well, I figure it's about time I start writing the actual thing. I finished the first chapter, which was meant to be a short outline of my life before moving to Arizona, but it turned out to be longer than I expected. The following chapters will be shorter, but progressively get longer as they become more recent, just because I'll remember more details. Anyway, go check out the first chapter. And like, happy seventeenth birthday, Sunil.

6-01-02 I told you that it's summer and I'd work on the website now. Well here it is, the biggest update in a long, long time. Although this isn't the big update (which is coming), this took me a while to do. Something around 8-9 hours total. It is a commemoration of the yearlong love that I have shared with the most wonderful girl in the world, my girlfriend, Erica. I don't have it up on the sidebar yet, so you can view it here. Happy anniversary Erica, I love you so much.

5-23-02 Hmm... Just short of ten months since the last time that I've updated. But it's summer now, and I'll be getting a job, I'll be working on this site more too. It'll look better, and it WILL be moved sometime. Hoo. Oh yeah, I added more chapters to the autobiography, and I actually plan on writing some of it this summer. Happy birthday Cameron.

7-24-01 I'm really tired right now, so I won't say much. It works, because there's not much to say. I added a new section, but there is not very much content there yet. Just a little intro. Just keep in mind, I have big plans for the future, I just need for things to work out. And like, happy sixteenth birthday, Sunil.

7-11-01 Well, it's official. http://www.freeservers.com is completely retarded. I checked and double checked and triple checked and then eaten my HTML coding, but for some reason, absolutely none of my images or MIDIs are showing up. So I quit. I will somehow find money (a job, perhaps) and I will eventually be moving my site to a more reliable server, under the badass URL of http://www.somewhat-mediocre.com. ~sigh~ That's been my dream ever since I got a computer. Let's make it happen.

7-1-01 First and foremost: Happy monthaversary, Ewica! For those of you who don't know, I am currently dating the smartest, funniest, prettiest, and all around coolest girl in town, for one month now. Shows how much compiling CDs does. Now onto the site. I changed the MIDI playing in the background on the Archives page. And also, many of you may have not noticed, but the onMouseOver in the status bar for the Pictures section still said "Skateboarding Pictures." So I changed that too. If you don't know what I'm talking about, don't worry. Okay bye.

6-28-01 Three in a row, I'm on a roll! (Sunil and Gregbo are the only people who know that one.) I think I'm done with my remodeling at the moment. I changed the link on the navbar from "Somewhat Mediocre Skateboarding Pictures" to just plain "Somewhat Mediocre Pictures" since I now have non-skateboarding pictures up. Also, I deleted another link, and moved the link to Hippos and Rhinos up, because it is such an influential website in my life. Lastly, I've made an archive page for the news updates. I've been meaning to do that for a while. Nighty night.

6-27-01 Wow. I might actually make a habit of this. I rearranged the pictures section of this page. It now features not only pictures of skateboarding, but also random artwork that I make while I'm bored. Blah, that was a lot of mindless HTML. Not even the fun kind. I also realize that I need to get rid of some links still, and I have to change the navbar to be more accurate for my picture page now.

6-26-01 Two updates in the same month! Tonight, I am adding one link, to Mai-Li's site, and I have deleted two defunct sites from the links. That's all.

6-21-01 I know, it's been quite a while since I've updated... Like a year since I've added anything at all, so here it is. I've added a new quote, to commemorate Sunil's finishing of the first disc in Final Fantasy VII. Reload a few times, and you'll see his favorite Tifa quote. Also, I'm putting up a small animated GIF video that I made. It doesn't go in the skateboarding section, so I'm just gonna link to it here. Well, see you again in two months, when I decided to update with some useless crap again.

4-1-01 I didn't just update my site. April Fools! I did! Hah hah... Okay nevermind. I archived some of my profiles, and I plan on doing the news too, since nobody actually cares what I updated over a year ago. But eh, I feel lazy right now.

1-21-01 A late Happy New Millenium goes out to all of my fans today, and a new poll is added. Results of the past poll are as follows: Third place goes to Gerald with six votes, second place goes to The Big White Thing That Lives In My Special Place with seven votes, and the winner is Venty with a whopping eight votes. This means that the Chinese polar bear that lives in my air conditioning vent will forever be known as Venty.

12-23-00 Merry almost Christmas everyone. As a present, I'm updating. If you can't tell what I fixed, then you are fat. The banner bug is now gone, thanks to my keen HTML skills. As of right now, I'm sick of looking at any and all HTML code, which isn't good, because I need to update my clan site too. All in due time.

11-26-00 I've added a new poll! Scroll down for it, I really need some help on this one. Thanks, and remember to keep checking in for new profiles.

11-7-00 I've got a new profile, and I've decided to stop announcing new profiles every time, because I do it more often than my lazy ass can handle. Just check the profile page every now and then.

11-6-00 I don't know how I survived it, but I just got back from two weeks of no Internet. It's a long story, involving a thunderstorm and me being electrocuted. At any rate, I'm back, and I should get a good new profile up soon. Also fixed a misspelling on the Darren Ball page.

10-20-00 What's this? One update right after another? Not much, I just added a MIDI to the profile page, and changed my profile again.

10-19-00 Another two months have gone by, which means that I've been in school for almost two months. =P Only seven more to go... Anyways, new section, partly inspired by Sunil's joke page. Go check it out.

8-19-00 Celebrating my two-month anniversary of my last update, I decided to update again! This is a big one, a whole new section! I've been talking about this for months, and it's finally here! Hurry, go! Check out the new Darren Ball section! Also I made a banner that still sucks but is ten times better than my last one!

6-19-00 When I changed the MIDI, I noticed that the pictures page was taking a while to load up. So I decided to make thumbnails, something I've been meaning to do for a while. Then I thought, well, I've also been meaning to remodel the site a bit, something that you may not be able to notice, but it took some programming. Right as I was uploading to test it out, Freeservers royally screwed things up, and wouldn't allow me to upload any more. So for the past two days, the site has been pretty ugly. But it's all better now. =)

6-17-00 Last day of my trial version of my FTP program, I changed the music playing on the pics page. A MIDI from an RPG just didn't fit in with skateboarding.

6-11-00 Hippos and Rhinos now has a banner up. That's all.

5-23-00 Happy birthday Cameron, and the first real update of summer! Check out the new pictures in the pictures section. Phoenix has a new superhero via the superhero bill that passed a few days ago. Each major city in Arizona gets their own superhero to protect the city. I have exclusive pictures of Phoenix's superhero, Super D!

5-18-00 Ahh yes, summer is here! That's right, no more schoolwork for me, for three whole months! Y'know what that means? That means better and more frequent updates! As of tonight, I've only cleaned up the links page a bit, and added two links. Another thing the end of the year means... parties! Yes, after two fairly boring parties, I think I may be done, but there might still be more to come. I saw my female friend at the party today, it was neat-o. That's all for today, expect an update tomorrow.

4-22-00 Gosh... Over a month since the last 'update'... And actually, it's been like three months since I've added any content to this site. Have no fear, although I have no content to add right now, I have a few things up my sleeve. I refuse to give away anything as of right now, but let's just say that what's coming can indirectly keep you busy for months. Also, regardless of how lame my attempts are, I believe that I may be heading in the right direction my female friend. ;)

3-19-00 Updates are getting fewer and farther between. I really need to start working on this site again. For today though, I just fixed a link on the Worms page that one of my clan members pointed out wasn't working. In news not pertaining to my website in any way, I recently compiled a CD for one of my female friends in a lame attempt at getting to know her better.

3-9-00 Granted, I haven't done any REAL updating for a while now, but don't worry, once summer comes along, this page and my other one will be updated much more often. Then again, JavaScript is turning out to be a bit more complex than I had imagined... New poll here, that's pretty much it.

2-26-00 Nothing much today, just changed John Cloud's quote. I'm trying to learn JavaScript. Once I do, fun will start.

2-18-00 I've added yet another quote, and I added a link to an anime page. Also, nearly three months into the year, I noticed that I had been dating everything '99, not '00. Silly me.

2-12-00 I've added a quote by Sunil, and I added a link to a cool page.

2-6-00 Since John Cloud bugs me about updating my website so much, I've added a few more quotes, but you might not even notice it unless you reload the main page a few times. In other news, Lord Electro's map making contest for Worms: Armageddon, which I judged for, is officially over. You can see his site by clicking here.

2-1-00 I've added a link and subtracted a link from the links page. My friend's new website is up, and the Lifestream is down, since the webmaster seems to have disappeared from the face of the earth. I've also added a slightly larger review of FFVIII in my RPG section, and I fixed an ugly bug with the Star Ocean review.

1-24-00 I've added some... interesting pictures to the skateboarding section. You can check them out here.

1-20-00 No news, or updates right now. I jes' wanna give a shout-out to my homeboy John Cloud. Booyah! John, sign the guestbook, darnit!!!

1-7-00 Great news! I have a totally new website now! It's for my clan in Worms: Armageddon. Follow the link below.


1-2-00 Happy new year! (Not new millenium) I posted my sigworm up on my Worms page.

12-30-99 I've added my first fort map to my Worms page.

12-29-99 I updated my Worms section slightly. I added one scheme and a few pictures.

12-29-99 I added a whole new batch of pictures to the skateboarding section, and I added a brief review for Final Fantasy VIII in my RPG section.

12-22-99 Added a link to my friend John's webpage

12-21-99 Added a new animated GIF to the skateboarding section
