I’ve been playing with MediaWiki a lot lately. (It’s the wiki software that Wikipedia uses, if you didn’t know.) It’s a nice piece of software, but compared to something like WordPress, it’s fairly complex to set up. Getting math support on MediaWiki was especially difficult for me. It took me a while, but I finally figured out how to do it, so I thought I ought to make a tutorial for everyone else. This is how to get math markup working in MediaWiki on a BlueHost site. More »

Software just doesn’t come cheap these days. Photographers who want to utilize the power of the popular photo-editing software, Photoshop, must fork over $700 to buy a copy.

Despite a busy summer, I still had some time to squeeze in some updates for my website.

Wow, it’s been a while since I last updated this site. In my defense, I’ve been busy. Trust me: college gives me enough things to do.

I don’t know when I’ll have time, but I want to work on redesigning this site again. I’ve learned a few new things about AJAX and PHP. I’ve grown fond of Mootools, and I’m hoping to use what I’ve learned to spice up my site design. I’ve also gotten interested in game engines and graphics editors. Maybe if I have enough time, I’ll work on writing a game this summer. We’ll see.
