Giantpaper.org

Welcome to Giantpaper.org, a personal blog run by me.

Why Giantpaper.org? It’s from SpongeBob (I’m actually a little kid trapped in the body of a 20something year old). And for those wondering when actually “giant paper” was mentioned, it’s in the Bubble Buddy episode (toward the beginning, SpongeBob goes up to Patrick’s house to find a note on the door, reading “Dear SpongeBob, I’ve gone out to buy more giant paper…”).

It was registered and hosted at Cphosting.com on January 13, 2003, until 2004, when I switched hosts to Steadfast Networks (it’s still registered with Cphosting though).

Content

Since this is a personal blog/site, there is no visitor content (i.e. no brushes, textures or layouts for the visitor to download). I’m not against personal sites having visitor content—I’d say let the owner do what they want. But I don’t think it’s necessary for them to have any, especially when it’s a website about the owner.

Passworded Entries

Some entries are passworded, which used to be passworded with my last name, but I changed that, when I realized that my last name could be easily accessed online (via my portfolio or through WHOIS info before I got my registrar to hide it). So now I use a randomly-created password. If you know my last name (i.e. either through Facebook, MySpace or the offline world), you could ask me for the new password. I do this mainly to protect my privacy and those around me. That’s all. :)

To IRL People

(That’s “in real life”. :P)

Unless if you give me permission (or if you’re also a blogger who’s commented on my blog before), I won’t talk about you a whole lot or mention you by name. If you do manage to identify yourself, I won’t speak of you negatively. ^_^

External Links?

This is part of a plugin I wrote that marks external links with rel="external" (and CSS can be used to style them further). This form here gives users the option of having external links open in the same window or in a new window (I found through a few sources that some people do like it when external links open in a new window).

But for validation reasons, I chose not to use target="_blank", and used some JavaScript magic to get it to work.

It’s still in progress, so there might be glitches. JavaScript must be enabled (obviously :P) and the same with cookies.
