Lost Carcosa

I hope you all like the new theme.  It’s still a work in progress…

After having had my server break on me, causing me to finally make that server switch to a cheaper service, I decided to use it as an opportunity to upgrade from an ancient version of Wordpress to a current version… Yeah… Smart move buddy.  It broke my theme, like “Error 500″ broke it.  So Saturday was spent with pencil, pen, scanner, and Photoshop, along with SSH, notepad, and vi, trying to get a theme that was more suitable, up and running.

I know its completely in need of something more to it.  Its still a bit plain looking, although not bad I must say for having once been the default Wordpress theme.  It needs more little artworks, and buttons.  If you all have some suggestions, I’ve love to hear it.  Its been a bit of work to get this where it is, but it’s still feeling lacking from the old theme.  So comment away!  Let me know what you like/dislike!

Yeah… I’m still tweaking the site after my combined server move/Wordpress upgrade, and I brought out the dreaded “Error 500″.   So until I either get the old (outdated) theme working again, or find a newer better one, we’re stuck with whatever theme I can find that works.

If you havn’t noticed, the site’s a bit messed up right now.  What you almost assuredly didn’t notice, is that its on a new server.  My DNS died on the old old server, and well, it was time to change servers to save a few bucks.  Hopefully this one works better.

Postings are going to be a bit sparse for a while.  Part of being in the Army Reserves is going away for two to three weeks a year for training.  Well, that time has come, so I’ll be away for a bit.  If I’m lucky, I’ll have access to the Intertubes while away.  If not, then I’ll be back later in the month.  For you few comic readers, not to worry, I’m actually done into July!  Wow!  Thats nuts!

So I couldn’t stay away… LostCarcosa.net, though it never really left, is back in session. Though I am decidedly not religious in any conventional sense, there is much wisdom in the following phrase:

Grant to us the serenity of mind to accept that which cannot be changed; the courage to change that which can be changed, and the wisdom to know the one from the other.

Somewhere out there are people who deserve happiness, friendship, love, and maybe a helping hand. While I can not change a certain heart breaking situation of my own, I can continue trying to make the world a little better one person at a time.

Sorry for all the off topic postings. Back to the show! Starting with the trailer for “Masters of Horror: Haeckel’s Tale”

The human heart can only withstand so much pain. To have one’s heart broken, raised back up, and crushed again is one thing. To have to experience being told that you will never again see or talk to your child, even if not biologically your own, is tenfolds painful. To experience it twice is more unbearable than any person should have to deal with and my heart just can’t take it.

So with that, LostCarcosa.net is on hiatus until I can find the heart to continue on.

I don’t know if any of you have noticed the poll to the right –>, but I’m considering the idea of selling some T-shirts based on my 2007 Halloween Classic Horror Movie Poster comics.

The design will probably just be the main character of the comic, or possibly the main character and the title. Probably on a black T with design on front. Just maybe with “LostCarcosa” on the back.

The three designs I have in consideration are “The Pharaoh Mummy”, “Vampire”, and “Rabbitstein”. If you have any ideas, sugesstions, or comments, feel free to let me know. If you think you’d purchase one (or not), please vote on the poll.

For the next 30 odd days, I’ll be away on some fancy-dancy Army training. For certain reasons, I’ll refrain on the when and where specifics, but I will say that internet usage will be severely decreased for me. I will definitely not have the time to post as often as I normally do, and I won’t be surprised if I manage to post more than once a week. I hope that I’ll at least be able to check email every couple days. How will I ever make it without my IV of internet?!?!
That said, the Lost Carcosa WebComic will be posting on its regular schedule! I’ve managed to complete comics through the first Monday of November! Yeay! Hopefully I’ll be able to do a little drawing while I’m away. Maybe we’ll see some Army themed comics come out of this. Well, I hope you all stick around and wait for my return!

Till then, enjoy the comics!
