Hi I'm Bubs, welcome to my home on the web!

Thanks for stopping by! You have stumbled upon the personal website of Sidney Collins (aka Bubs). I'm a 24-year old student at the University of Alabama studying Computer Science and Mathematics. When I'm not busy programming you'll probably find me writing, drawing, reading, shopping, eating, or playing Monopoly.

Bubs’ Scripts

I’ve started to work on myQuilt Admin 3.0 again :) I really want to finish it before I start school on July 10. I also hope to release my button exchange script and birthday list plugin to the public sometime.

Do you have any suggestions for scripts?

I’ve decided to release my first WP plugin to the public :nod: It’s a customizable plugboard for your Wordpress blog. You can see it in action here at BubblesSOC. BBB features button moderation and cache… I wouldn’t want an ugly broken image to mess up your nice layout ;) Of course both of these features are optional.

New Quilt

Bees — just in case you didn’t get my email, here it is:

You’re receiving this email because we traded patches at the Quilting Bee. I’ve decided to make a new quilt since my current one is full of holes :) I don’t have time to prune the retired bees.

If you’re still a member, please trade with me again! If not, just ignore this email :)

  • About content (Creations, Collection, Library)

Bees — Let me know your suggestions for the new version. You can find the current suggestions at the BBS :)

Beta Plugboard

I finished my plugboard plugin… wanna test it out? The sidebar isn’t finished (obviously) and I know the design looks a bit wonky in IE 6… I’ll worry about that tomorrow ;)

After testing it on my site, I’m going to release the plugin. I don’t think there is currently one available. I added a couple of features such as button moderation and cache. I wouldn’t want a broken image messing up my layout! :roll:

Expanding Horizons

Last night I was sifting through my Akismet spam and noticed that one of the spammers apologized to me for his following spam comment :rofl:

I’m currently attempting to write my first WP plugin. I want to integrate my plugboard and Caption Challenge into WP pages, but these scripts need to be plugins before I can accomplish this.

Working Hard

Consuming 3 Lean Cuisines at once kind of defeats the purpose of eating Lean Cuisines in the first place x_x I was really hungry but too lazy to go get food so I raided what was left in my freezer.

I’ve been feeling really light-headed and dizzy lately. I wonder if it is related to the fact that I’ve been staring at the computer non-stop for 2 weeks now…

Question of the Day

If you call someone a close-minded idiot for believing in God, doesn’t that make you just as closed-minded as the other guy? I see this happen a lot.

I’m going to try and put the new layout and content up soon. I’m also starting a ‘Dream Diary’… I have very interesting dreams, so that should be fun ;)

Good, Bad, and the Ugly

I have to end my obsession with Design Snack… it’s raising my blood pressure! The members downvote BEAUTIFUL sites such as Soap Media, Renegade Zen, Simply Jazzmin, and Draft.Media with little or no explanation and then turn around and vote positive on PAGE-BUILDER and table-riddled sites!

I had a conversation with one of my mentors recently on my ‘webdesign skills‘ and I came to the realization that I care more about code than pretty graphics. To me, code is as much an artform as a painting or a photo. And I find myself getting very offended when someone says, “People flaunting the fact that their website is valid XHTML and tableless CSS are stupid…” I’m sorry, but I’m quite proud of the fact that I take the time and effort to create a clean, original, and accessible website. Anyone can open up MS Frontpage, drag and drop a few pics, then call it a webpage but very few can pull out notepad and cook up a large website from scratch using PHP, XHTML, CSS, etc. :P

Sorry about that rant… I just had to get it off my chest. Any thoughts?
