MS Paint Madness

Posted In Digital Still Work On Tuesday May 12 , 2009

Here are some images I has created using MS Paint some years back.  I remember gonig through a HUGE MS Paint phase where I would refuse to use anything else. I was happy with some of the stuff I came up with.

Yer’ In Hell Mister!!!

Here are some oldies that I came across. I think I did these sometime in 2002 or 2003. These were designs for an abandoned project called “Space Pirates Vs. Hell”. The characters in the story are from the Grossland Universe, if interested start here to learn more.

Muddy Buddy 2009

Posted In Blog On Monday May 11 , 2009

This past Saturday I went to the Muddy Buddy Race, a 7 mile run/bike race with a few obstacles shoved in between. It was a lot of fun, and I felt like I was going to die by the end of it. After coming home, it took me an hour to get all the mud out of my ears.  The other guy in the pictures is my boss, photos by Jason Miller.

Too All My Wordpress Peeps (GD-JPEG ERROR IMAGE.PHP LINE 147)

Posted In Blog, Uncategorized On Monday May 4 , 2009

I thought I would share this information with anyone delving deep into google as they possibly can to find answers to the headache that is the GD-JPEG error that seems to plague a lot of you out there.  

This morning I signed into my wordpress to upload some photos from the past weekend. When I attempted to upload my photos, I got a 1st time error of something like “GD-JPEG blah blah ERROR IMAGES.PHP LINE 147″ It seemed all my new photos were getting that same error.

After searching Google and finding countless posts about this error, they allseemed to have no answer at all, just speculation. And just before I started going mad with frustration and anger, I figured my problem out. Now, I have some more speculation for you:

After trying everything along with reverting to older css, deactivating plug-ins, and so on.. I noticed that in photoshop I had my web-optimize set on jpeg “progressive”. I never usually use this option and must have accidentally turned it on.  After re-saving my new photos without progressive checked, they all uploaded beautifully and the problem has been solved thus far.

Now if anyone could clue me into WHY this happened or How to get the word-press up-loader to accept and re-size progressive jpg files, please inform me. 

I hope this was help to someone out there.
