From tomorrow, I’ll be finalising the coding for the News section, intake etc and concentrate more on other aspects of the website, namely the graphics, feature and motion sections which I’ve neglected for a while now. I’ll be posting a stackful of info, docs, designs, graphics, Quicktime movies, 3D models, WAV and MP3s, wallpapers, links, flash SWFs, analysis, and code, which I’ve written, collated and created in the past 5-6 years and adding it to its respective section.
Hopefully, reloade will start taking shape from now on, into a nice place where I can showcase and express my ideas, thoughts and directions, and to finally get closer to linking the url directly to the ‘home’ section, instead of the ‘news intake’ :). ::: Fredy D Ore.
