Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween Everyone!

How many are trick-or-treating? I'm not, unfortunately. Does buying 5 pounds of assorted candy count and then saying trick-or-treat to the clerk during checkout? No? Darn.

Before you head out, did you know the history of Halloween?
"Traditionally, the festival [of Halloween] was a time used by the ancient pagans to take stock of supplies and slaughter livestock for winter stores. The ancient Gaels believed that on October 31, the boundaries between the worlds of the living and the dead overlapped and the deceased would come back to life and cause havoc such as sickness or damaged crops. The festivals would frequently involve bonfires, where the bones of slaughtered livestock were thrown. Costumes and masks were also worn at the festivals in an attempt to mimic the evil spirits or placate them." (Wikipedia: Halloween)


Now that you know that, I think it's time to prepare you for maybe the most shocking thing in the world:


The Smiley Face

I mean, really, what does he have to be so happy about? He's the craziest shade of yellow ever, has no nose and big oblong eyes. What can he be so happy about? Obviously, then, one can deduce he has probably eaten up tons of trick-or-treaters and gets some sort of sick pleasure out of it. BEWARE, if you ever see this person around, call your local authorities. He will attack your children, or maybe even you; who knows what this guy is capable of... he obviously can grin wider than physically possible.

Another word of advice: make sure to avoid the Halloween parties. A real man (for example, me) does his homework and gets his monthly blog in for the site he works at. Remember, if you ever are in doubt about going to a party just think "What would Wayetender do?" That will give you the most insight you will ever need, and maybe just enough to make you rich.

Have a safe and fun night trick-or-treating everyone!

Let your click be heard

Interested to see where people click on the SpawnPoint site? Well, someone on staff was, so we now have some cool graphics about where people like to click. Here's where people like to click on the header:



I don't do any of the interpreting, but I'd say that looks pretty cool to say the least. You can interpret that how you want.

As a note, these data were only sampled on the main page.

Update 9/28:
It seems that a new click pattern has emerged...



I'm not sure how to interpret that...

Upload Images

Cool!People can now upload images into their blog posts.

Along with it comes a cool new editor. This change came from the complaints we got from people pasting text from Word. IE users can now automatically clean up the formatting when they paste. Firefox users will have to press the "Paste from Word" button. Or they can just straight paste it. It gets straightened out by the time you "publish" it. Anyhow, enjoy.

Now, back to other developments...

Greetings

Well my blog is up and the site is now live. It seems everyone can relax now!

I hope everyone likes the profile scroller.
