Title: Demo reel
Post by: EgonOlsen on January 02, 2010, 11:29:17 pm: I've created a little demo reel and uploaded it to youtube. It uses some video captures of your projects...i hope you don't mind. I'm giving credit at the end of the video in form of a youtube comment inside the video itself. It wasn't possible to do it in the video, because a) my video software tends to crash when processing too much text and b) you wouldn't be able to read it on normal quality. I hope that's ok for everybody. If it isn't, please let me know.

Here it is, comments are welcome: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYYXBUqh3xc (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYYXBUqh3xc)

Why on earth can't you edit the video itself on youtube but everything else like the audio track!? Anyway, that's why the link has changed. There's still a little flaw in this version, but it's hidden behind the credits... ;D

I little off-topic, maybe its time to spice up the website site/logo?

Post by: EgonOlsen on February 26, 2010, 11:00:40 pm: I like the logo, i don't think that i'm going to change it unless someone comes up with a much better one. I like the retro feel of it much more than some comic monkey head or similar stuff.

About the website: Maybe i should do something about it, but then again, i won't come up with something much better than what i have now. Designing websites just isn't my business (anymore).

When you really get down to it, usability and security are the main concerns, and SMF has both of those covered. I guess if you didn't want to rewrite the website from scratch, SMF itself is rather customizable (takes a little reverse-engineering to get used to it at first). You do have to be careful with more extreme modifications sometimes, or it becomes a pain in the butt to upgrade when new versions of SMF are released. I did a few basic modifications for my website and I think it came out less generic-looking while still being upload-and-click to upgrade.

Surely you have enough support for someone to help you out if you asked?
