Timeline for Art of Adam Betts Weblog

Undeadbetts was my main character. Her class is Priest with the role of healing people and casting beneficial buffs . It took me more than one year and approximately $300 (not including game cost and monthly fee) to get top gears/weapons so I can stay competitive with other players.

Why did I play WoW for so long? Three reasons: Continue reading…

Testing their new store with one candy purchase and oh my, what a speedy delivery.

Product: Spree Candy
Qty: 1

Ordered: June 18, 2006
Item Shipped: July 27, 2006

Yeah… This candy is so special it’ll take precious time to deliver. As listed on their product description page:

• Unique and fun candy that charges your taste buds and sparks the imagination!

You know you have to get the candy!

All projects and posts will be on hold until next week or so while I focus on health. Doctors and lot of testing…

Update 7/27: Echocardiography testing (for heart): passed, no problems (whew.)

I found out few days ago that I have hypothyroidism disease after going to emergency room last week for heart palpitations (rapid heart beating) and swollen feet. The disease in short is: Inadequate levels of thyroid hormone in the body. It caused many symptoms that I’ve long thought to be normal such as brain fog, increased sensitivity to heat and cold (very cold hands/feet even during hot day), dry puffy skin (like nintendo’s kirby), fatigue, shortness of breath, anxiety, paleness, weak bowel movements, etc and most importantly lack of focus which is often misdiagnosed as ADD. This explains why I’m unable to work on projects for longer than few hours. Check wikipedia page for a longer list of signs and symptoms

Either changing body hormones or 1+ year of long sitting playing World of Warcraft triggered some of the serious symptoms. If latter is in fact what affected me, I’m glad it happened or otherwise I’ll never find out about this disease. For more info on this disease:

I’m taking medicines right now but Thyroid medicine will take 4-6 weeks to kick in. Any of you experiencing some form of Thyroid disease too?

Boom, no more hockey puck.

The new plan for this updated weblog is:

  • One post per year (two if the weather outside is beautiful.)
  • Less texts, more pixels (less bad grammars, woot!)
  • Fixes for IE browser. *sigh*

Upcoming new web design that’ll make current one look like iBook Clamshell.

It’ll use lovely WordPress engine.

Oh and I’m finished with World of Warcraft :)

The History of MacThemes.net

MacThemes.net is featuring an Insider piece on the history of MacThemes.net.

The Creation of MacThemes.net

Check them out if you want to see how the site design progressed from draft to final.

As per request, most of the comment spams are sent to a galaxy far, far away.

If you still see some spams around here, be sure to let me know!

Hmmm, can you smell some pixels cooking? :)

Here’s what I’ve been doing lately..

Business:

  • Fitness Health Weblog
  • Icon Project for OS X software
  • Two other website designs
Personal:

  • A secret project I’m working on for OS X. Mockup stage is almost done.
  • Expanding MacThemes.net (Sidebar Navbar, Ad Banner, etc)
  • Spent lot of time playing World of Warcraft.
  • Got Battlefield 1942. Great game but I definitely need lot of practices.
Projects I’ll work on soon:

  • More smileys for Adium X
  • More Screensaver Flags. I plan to contact the original author of flag screensaver to see if we could collaborate on this and perhaps offer more features / choices / packages.
  • Website design for WoW Guild I’m in

After I’m done with most business projects, I’ll shift my attention to personal projects. It’s been a long time since I’ve done an icon set, OS X theme, etc :(
