Beta Update 28/07/09

be more youLife moves along at the speed of light as procrastination rules and varsity drags on. Things outside varsity seem not even to show signs of slowing. Seeing friends, Church, Srizzil, Guitar, work, and homework fly around in a disorderly fashion – each begging for more attention.

Of course the usual issues rage on as I continue through my last year as a teenager. One would think these things would slow down at the age of 19 but they seem only to get more intense and more confusing. Trying to find who you are in a world riddled with lies and deception is probably the greatest difficulty in life. I guess that’s why many adults are so lost, they’ve never found themselves.

I will eventually be adding my biography/testimony/life story up on the site for the world to poke through. This will help new Srizzil readers to better understand the context of my writing. However I’m currently moving the enormous amount of articles across from the old website and making a few cosmetic changes to each one. This will hopefully make it easier for Google to find our articles and attract more Srizzilers from across the world.

On the video front I have started a couple of projects, none of which are near completion. It’s great to make videos but I don’t want to upload any old rubbish. There should be a certain element of quality to all the Srizzil videos so rushing out new videos is not my highest priority.

Before I sign off it must be noted that the new Black Eyed Peas album is surprisingly amazing. Make sure you get it. I’m not into club, electronic music at all but the ‘Peas’ are amazingly talented and never seem to stagnate.

Stay tuned to Srizzil, as we learn and grow together. Don’t forget to become a fan on Facebook here: http://www. facebook.com/pages/Srizzil/68684081375 and talk to me. I always have time for our loyal viewers. You can get to me on twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Zoopy or through our contact form. All in the bar at the bottom of this page!

standouttWelcome to the first instalment of the Life and times of Marc Williams. These blog posts will be more personal and not the usual jokes, reviews and entertainment news that will continue to flow through the new standoutt. I’ll use this space to air some views and whatever little thoughts pop into my head. For now though I wanted to give everyone an update on the beta version of standoutt.

The last few weeks in the standoutt universe have been very busy. Once I get into a project I tend to go all out and things have progressed a lot faster than I had originally thought. In my excitement I have managed to get the blog up and running nicely and a preliminary version of the Srizzil page too. I have also moved the beta onto the main site now, rather than later, to make Google happy. They don’t treat your site too well if you keep moving your content around.

Unfortunately the move didn’t go very well. I backed up the wrong files and after upgrading a few things the site broke. It took me forever to fix the problem but praise God we are back up and running. This is the reason I hate computers – they aren’t people proof. If I make a mistake the computer should help me fix it, not make it harder to fix. What took five seconds to break turned into hours of fixing. These things only make a person more paranoid.

Looking to the future, the next few weeks will have a focus on content and bug fixing. Once I’m satisfied that everything is 100% with the blog, home page, and Srizzil page, I can start working on the movies page.

Stay tuned and enjoy. If you have any thoughts, ideas or complaints, feel free to contact us at www.standoutt.com/contact

standoutt betaThis is it, the big show, the main event, the party to end all parties, our beta phase. This is going to be one of the largest upgrades I’ve ever made to any of my sites. For the first time ever, the design is 100% original, and I’ll be coding it all. *Ahhhh* As much as a hate working with this strange language, seeing your design come to life is one of the most rewarding things in the world. Unfortunately professional designers are way too expensive, and the chances of them doing exactly what I want are slim. So here we go. (more…)
