    I keep forgetting to make these. As a brief update, I found a plugin that improves the search for WordPress. It’s not perfect but I doubt I’d find one that was short of writing my own, which I’d rather not do. I’m also thinking that user testing may be unnecessary, honestly, because the technological aspects…

    First of all I’m half asleep right now. I really hope this is coherent but I make no guarantees. Second of all, I had trouble accessing some of the given resources because I don’t live on campus and do my work on my desktop at home. To me, someone who has absolutely nothing to do…

    Here’s my digital portfolio for this class only. This is not a comprehensive list of all my work nor does it include my education or work experience. It also does not include this class, because frankly this class is minimally relevant to my car…

    Read my work here: Reactor Number Four I followed along (partially) with this lesson on Twine from the Programming Historian, as well as using the Twine Cookbook as reference and tutorial material. To be honest, my concept ran away from me a bit and got more complicated in terms of execution than I would have…
