"Washed Jeep" It's been a while since I've uploaded any pictures, so I started digging around the camera and found the set above from back in June right after I washed my Jeep. It makes me want to wash it now because when I was looking at the pics. I was jawdropped. =D The pictures below (only a few) were on a random drive I took in July down Rt. 28. A cop drove by at one point really slow. Must have thought I needed help or something. :: shrug ::

"Little Falls, Part One" Two updates today from this week. The first part (above) was last Tuesday. I decided to turn left instead of right (the way home) after work and ended up in Little Falls and decided to take a random turn down a steep hill to see where it got me. The second (below) was today after work. I went back. But this time with my bike. Figured since the road was closed in the middle, I'd just ride my bike down it. But it was far too short, so I circled around using the highway. That was way too steep. Probably will never do that again. Felt like I climbed a mountain (actually, I did.. we call them hills although they're pretty much mountains). My old computer sucks ass and deleted every picture I added to it after i came home. Essentially wasting my entire days worth of pictures. Fuck that.

"Herkimer Trail, etc" I decided to go for a bike ride on a new (within the past few years) bike trail in Herkimer, NY. I probably won't go on it again. It was VERY short and there wasn't really anything of interest. The pictures I took were on my way going back through the trail after turning around. But then I went on a few other trips since it only took about 45 minutes to go down the entire trail and back. Videos will be posted soon. ~( Scott M. Howard )~

"Frankfort Marina" I had to do laundry today so while my clothes were being done at the laundromat (I don't have a washer), I went down to the village marina to have a bite to eat and decided to take some pictures. Basically just playing around with my camera. Nothing fancy. On my way home I randomly decided to stop on the side of the road and take pictures of traffic lights at long exposure. First time trying that. It was a fun day. I should have DITL'd it. lol ~( Scott M. Howard )~

"My Poor Jeep" My rear window wiper hasn't worked in a while and before it did work, it worked very slowly. So I decided to go out and get a new one. I tried going to a junkyard to get one for as cheap as 12 bucks, but it's for an '03, so they didn't have any cars that new yet. So I was stuck going to Advance Auto. 61 bucks plus a 25 dollar core. But they don't have any in stock, so I have to wait until tomorrow. until then, I have the lift gate to my jeep pretty much torn apart at the moment. My Poor Jeep  ~( Scott M. Howard )~

"Off Roading." So last time I was doing laundry in town, I noticed a small trail that I didn't know where it led. Well I followed it on foot and found out that it went down underneath and around a bridge, and seemed like it would be a fun thing to try to drive through. So here's just a few random pictures taken from inside my Jeep as I followed the trail.  ~( Scott M. Howard )~

"Stormy Night." It's been rainy and stormy all day. It's a shame that I had to work today. Normally when we get storms, they last 2 minutes then it's a nice sunny day out. Driving home from work was like driving into a tunnel. Got REALLY dark quickly. So I pulled out my camera as soon as I got home and took these pictures! These are my FIRST EVER successful pictures of lightning. TRUE genuine lightning pictures, not just screen captures of videos taken during a storm. There was enough lightning around, and it's night time so I just put it on a long exposure and let the lightning come to me. I didn't take a lot of pictures because the storm faded a bit (there's another wave coming, so maybe more pictures will be added), and the camera kept getting wet from my window sill. ~( Scott M.

"Fireworks at WalMart." Here are some pictures of fireworks. I had a VERY low battery, so I did what I could with the time I had. Half of them were basically just practice shots on timing and delays and stuff just so I could figure out how to get good shots of fireworks. By the time I figured out a good method, I only got maybe 6 good pictures before the battery ran out. I am also annoyed that I didn't notice the glare in the lower left of the lens cause I was close to a parking lot light. lol Ah, well. There's always next year. ~( Scott M. Howard )~

"Rain Storm." I'm finally getting back into using my camera. I wish I had a bit more skill at taking pictures (I'm such an amateur.. lol), but at least I'm using it more now... In this update, I heard some thunder coming, and I attempted to take some pictures of lightning. I did manage to catch one on the video I took. But it's at low resolution because... yeah. It's from a video. Anywho. Enjoy! ~( Scott M. Howard )~

"Schuyler Hills." So I've been sorta failing at my New Years Resolution. I got two in January, one in February, none in March. But hopefully now that the weather isn't always crappy, maybe I can actually get back up to speed. In this update, I took a ride along some back roads again and came across a pond I've never seen before, and also took some pictures of the scenery. I did a lot of driving today. I even got a sunburn out of it on my arm!  ~( Scott M. Howard )~

"Jeep Debut." So today was a really nice day. Not really warm, but at least it was sunny. So I took the jeep out for a car wash and as promised, the first pictures of my jeep are here in the form of a video. Not quite the Daft Jeep project I'm still working on, but it's cool none the less. I also got to finally put my Evanescence decal on the back of the Jeep. At some point I want to put a bug shield on the front of the Jeep. There's already some rock marks on it. A bug shield will hide those, and prevent any more. So here's the pictures! ~( Scott M.

"Spring in January." What does that title mean, you ask? Well, it means that today it got all the way up to 69º! It's JANUARY! In CENTRAL NEW YORK! So I went for a drive and took my camera with me. Most of the pictures in this update are basic point-and-shoot, but a few of them I tried changing some of the lighting and focus to see what effect it would have. I'm no expert at the manual controls, so I'm trying to practice more and more. I even remembered to try out the panoramic pictures. You take 3 pictuers and it stitches them together. I even took two panoramic pictures and stitched THEM together. It's really cool. Enjoy! ~( Scott M. Howard )~

Considering I haven't done an update in this thing in forever (hell, I haven't updated my website in forever), I'm going to use this community to post the new updates to my New Year's Resolution Project.
"I, Scott M. Howard of ScottsWebpage.com, hereby resolve that at a minimum of 2 times per month in 2008 I will create a photo collection containing no less than 15 photos using my new Kodak EasyShare Z712 IS."
So each time I update the site with a new "collection", I will post information about it here.
"Snow on Mary St." In this update, I decided to try out some 16 second exposure pictures of the snow outside and around my house. I started out in my driveway but then headed up onto my roof. This was mostly experimental. I kept the same camera settings for each photo (with a few "tests" inbetween to check out alternate settings), and only adjusted the manual focus. I can't wait to try out these settings once there's a clear night. get some pictures of the stars. ~( Scott M. Howard )~

I have just finished completely removing the domain scottmhoward.com from Scott's Webpage. ScottMHoward.com will become a completely separate website as soon as I can find a use for it. I do not plan to get rid of the domain name, but it will remain a separate entity from Scott's Webpage.
As for updates to Scott's Webpage, I know there haven't been much lately. After completely renovating the website so that it can function completely on its own, I have in effect made the site have no need for me. And since there are no more things to update on my site, the only thing left is to create brand new areas. However, I have been thinking for a long time and have not yet been able to come up with any new ideas for the site.
I have become stuck. I am asking anybody with any possible ideas for a function of scottmhoward.com or for new ideas for scottswebpage.com to let me know. You can let me know by commenting to this entry.
Thank you in advance for any help.

Stephy's Icons has undergone a complete reformat! Stephy had a TON of icons on the website that were just getting to be too disorganized. So now they're organized!
There is a new gallery-style format with albums and sub-albums to help viewers find specific icons they may want! It's fully customizable by Stephy so she can make her own folders and more!
Go check it out!

 You may or may not have noticed that Scott's Webpage has not properly functioned in over a week. This is my own fault. I recently upgraded my computer from Windows XP Service Pack 1 to Service Pack 2. With Service Pack 2, many problems I had been experiencing on my computer have been fixed. I had also installed the new Internet Explorer 7 which can only be installed with SP2 (I had been waiting to do this for months). So all seemed well and good. Until I realized that a week later, there hadn't been any traffic to my site. It worked fine for me, so I figured it was just a slow period. When I got to checking the lj tool hits, there wasn't a single one that entire week. I knew something was up. After much testing and trying to find where the problem was (I figured my ISP just somehow stopped allowing all sorts of things to happen), I found that the problem was simply security features in Service Pack 2. Every program that involves the internet has some problem with receiving data. I can send stuff all I want, but requests are rejected. It sounds like a firewall problem, so I disabled windows firewall, and disabled my stand-alone firewall, but still no luck. When I learned that this problem is usually experienced with windows firewall, I tried opening it to see what the settings were, but it failed to open. the "SharedAccess" service fails to start. I have installed and reinstalled the SharedAccess service, but it still fails to start saying that "the module cannot be found". So I have hit a road block. I don't really want to downgrade to SP1 because then I'll be experiencing problems again, and will lose IE7, etc. My only hope is to fix the problem. But so far I cannot find a solution. Until I do, it looks like Scott's Webpage will be down. And I can't just host the website on another server, because not only is it all based on php (which most hosts don't allow), but it involves WRITING to a file with php (which is RARE to find in a host). So I'm between a rock and a hard place. So that's the specific details on what's wrong with the site. If you have any input, please reply to this message... ~( Scott M. Howard )~

I just made a small update to Scott's Webpage. You may be familiar with the splash intro screen when you first go to my website. Well I thought it was a little boring just being a logo that you click. So for people who don't actually have a page bookmarked and go straight to the root URL, there's a new challenge in store.
I have put up a "security guard". He's not a very good security guard since I don't pay him anything, but he stays hidden pretty well. If you find him and harass him, he might let you in. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, go to the site and see for yourself  lol
