Journal Ethelred Unraed's Journal: Dare to face my spiffiness [UPDATED] 17

Journal by Ethelred Unraed

Heh. Even though I'm sick to death of my own website (though never seem to get around to redoing it), and don't even maintain it anymore, it never ceases to amaze me how many people visit it and go apeshit for the site. (It was originally an emergency site I did over a weekend because some asshole ripped off the previous site design, and I've been meaning to redo it ever since. The HTML is...interesting to look at.)

The latest is that my server logs went bonkers just now with a bunch of visitors from the University of Louisville, more precisely their art college, more specifically from this page, presumably for a class presentation. So now I have a bunch of young whippersnappers crawling all over my lawn.

This would normally really give me a stiffy, confirming in my mind just how wonderful I am, but for the fact that I am apparently being taken for a German designer (note the heading on that page). "GRANTHAM" IS NOT A FUCKING GERMAN NAME YOU DONKEYBONGLE-LICKING BLUEGRASS-EATING KAINTUKKY DIPSTICKS!

I'm sorry. I love the Krauts, I just don't want to be one.

Anyway. I really should redo that site now. It's only...five, almost six years old (the date is actually wrong). And the HTML and layout are slowly becoming an embarrassment. *grmbl*

Or I should embrace my supposed German-ness and load it with these.

...

UPDATE
The plot thickens. It turns out the College of Communication and Design in Berlin is...wait for it...also linking to my site from some project server of theirs.

My ego...is...attaining...infinite...mass...

  • That's awesome. :)
  • I couldn't do such a website. It's beyond my creativity.

    However, it's clear that "jrshan04" wrote that page. What about just emailing jrshan04@art.louisville.edu and tell him that you're not a german. He might change the page.

  • A fresh generation of graphic designers you can mould in your own likeness. Pure uncorrupted minds just ripe for corruption at the hands of a master... ;^)
  • My sites need overhauls, and I'm graphically devoid.

    Help me.
    • Well, do you want to sell your soul for eternal thralldom, give up your firstborn, or just pay cash?

      At any rate, my hourly rate is €60. (Though I'm thinking of raising it €10 for each Louisville student that hits my site, as my ego inflates to previously unknown proportions.)

      However, for projects I usually charge a flat fee (while defining in advance with you what you're going to get) and reduce the rate for that calculation. (Not knowing the specifics, I can't tell you more than that. I hate

    ... more like these [google.com] ... just for a few days while the students pay you a second visit for crib notes :-)

    ... or show your ardent support for Bush and his policies [networking...ternet.com].

  • Dude,

    you do really good work.

    Like, maybe you should make this your career or something.

    All the sites I've seen you do over the years are kick ass.

    Have you considered this as your intro to World Domination?

      Oh, but I have, and so shall it be. You see, when you view my website, there is a plugin of type application/x-world-domination that sears your retinas, fuses your optic nerves, and eradicates all memory of its activation, but implants a virtual world in your mind centering on an undying wish to be my supine cowering sniveling simpering slave.

      If you have the correct browser plugin installed.

      Otherwise you just see some stupid thing with flower

  • Where's the beef. I just got a blank page. Don't tell me you're running the site on a six year old Mac running MacOS 8. ;P
  • your 5!+3 is ToTaLlY @\/\/350/\/\3!1!11!shiftone111!3

    No, really, even if you are sick of it, it really is great. You have a gift for visually clean, functionally beautiful sites of uncommonly high quality.

    r0XX0r!

    Oh, and to keep your ego down... uh...
    You knee-biter!
  • did you ever notice that the tree on the border where you joined the bitmaps on the "meadow" layout looks like a penis? makes my sig even more SIGnificant. :D

    nice jorb. ;) (you know I've always liked your site...)
  • I looked at the source, it's fine. Move along, nothing to see here. Add some new news, other than that, leave this the fuck alone. You've got some talent, but Some Woman is still right about you.

    Did that help the egomania any?
