Pie to Finger Ratio

I thought it would help me focus if I wrote down all the web projects I’m working on now. Project Havana: Lot of work to go, got some pretty jQuery animations going on but very little content. Lot of data entry to go, but I feel like this project has the best odds of being [...]

Time Management Fail

I should be getting ready for work right about now, but I feel like writing too. So writing wins for now. I’m getting myself psyched up for 2011 with plans and ideas for how I’m gonna keep things interesting for this Monday-Wednesday-Friday regularity of posting. My work schedule actually calls for Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday [...]

Polished Turds and Reinvented Wheels

I did a pretty major reskin of the blog, in anticipation of some upcoming projects. I liked the previous theme, don’t get me wrong, but it was difficult to work with and had some nasty bugs of it’s own. This one is simple and quite a pleasure to use so far. One thing I’ve come [...]

Sounding The All Clear

Google has de-quarantined the site, and all should be well again.  Despite it, you should be watching for updates not on here, but on my newly relaunched thelegendofmax.net.  Gonna try to come up with some new ideas, and I do have another long-term project in brainstorming right now, and I’ll try and work on it [...]

Live From The Bunker

I’m working with my guys at Dreamhost to resolve the recent attack and clean up all affected sites. For now if you see the Google warning, don’t visit as I’ll have them check it when we’re finished with cleanup. You may be wondering, then, why I’m writing this if nobody is supposed to see it [...]

Expect to see reviews for: Andy Tauer Lonestar Memories Andy Tauer Une Rose Chypree CdG Series 2 (Red): Sequoia CdG Series 3 (Incense): Avignon Domenico Caraceni 1913 Keiko Mecheri Bois de Santal L’Artisan Timbuktu Le Labo Rose 31 Mazzolari Lui Montale [...]

Not dead. Not, in fact, deceased.

I’m alive, and in fact have been writing all this time, albeit in smaller, 140-character chunks on my Twitter account. So what happened after that fateful evening of March 15th? Well, an hour or two after writing that, I sent a message to a member on Basenotes named exquisitely_me, and the message said… “What’s new [...]

Redesign

For those that get my feed via Facebook, be sure and check out the new look at the blog.  I’ll make to attempt to claim I somehow designed this, but the dark, brooding blue was a bit much and honestly I always thought it was, I just didn’t have anything I liked better.  I like [...]

Clean up, clean up, everybody everywhere…

Alright I got about halfway done with the cleanup that I wanted to accomplish. The fragrance reviews are now all organized down the sidebar, and placeholders have been set for forthcoming reviews in both Niche Experiment One and the Bond No. 9 Marathon. Still to be done is a comprehensive set of tags, which will [...]

Updates for 9/12

Well life’s weird. Starting Monday, ready or not, I’m working two jobs that stretch basically from 8 AM to 10 PM. The second job (working for a domain registrar) will look damn good on a resumé, nevermind the catch (the domain registrar is my landlord and I’m working from home). This means a lot to [...]
