updatewhat's up with Matt            [edit]
I have removed the "update" content from this older-version home page, because Google was getting confused.

To see the latest "update" content, go to the real (up-to-date) mlibby.net home page.

Or just click on the archive link (below), since whatever you were searching for is probably in the archives by now.

    you can view my list of projects (both active and inactive). also, i have a handful of project pages for the larger, more-significant projects on which i'm working. over time, i'll be refining both of these resources to be more useful and nice-looking, but these should do for now.

    also, i'm creating a ~temporary (password-protected) design center for the Potomac Baptist Church site redesign effort.

    web-safe color swatches
    it's yet another "bunch of colors w/ hex RGB values" page, but this one has colors grouped by saturation, which is actually reasonably useful (and hasn't apparently been done on any other page that i've stumbled across so far). and it employs Visibone's cool color-naming scheme ("Visibone Anglo-Centric Color Code"), which lets you refer to these colors with by more-meaningful names.

    muscat
    this is the rudiments of a project-publication page for a music(recording)-cataloging application that i'm writing (for personal use). i don't really know what the publication page will actually turn into, but that's appropriate, because i also don't really know what the application itself will turn into, either (but i think it will probably be something pretty cool, ultimately).

    the fridgeneat stuff Matt made
    [edit this content]
    • a cappella arrangements [use NoteWorthy Composer or Player]
      • You Want To... Now Will You? [NWC, MIDI]
      • He's All You Need (co-arranger) [NWC, MIDI]
    • code-type stuff
      • "now playing" thinger that displays the artist/title/album of whatever music you're listening to in WinAmp
        • for now, it's just an "integration" of an existing 3rd-party WinAmp plugin. soon, i will actually write my own WinAmp plugin for this
    • images and visual stuff
    • web sites on which i have worked

    scratchputty in Matt's hands
    [edit this content]
    • site improvement / maintenance
      • tie in photos.mlibby.net
      • clean up projects section, tie in project management tool
      • "now playing" album cover reform
      • clean out stuff that's truly irrelevant and/or stupid
        • interests: find a better way to incorporate them... maybe a topical links index thing or something, and the "topic abstract" idea wasn't too shabby
        • most of the existing links. flat listing is weird & arbitrary. again, tie in to "advanced hotlist" idea, perhaps (sure, it's still links, but (1) there are amplified notes on entries therein, (2) you can link horizontally to related ideas, and (3) it should provide centralization / portability for my personal bookmarks list.)
      • fix some encoding problems on content-submission
      • fix apostrophe / slash problem on "now playing" thing (yeah, it's off-topic, but it's really annoying)
      • probably flatten out the front page structure
        • maybe convert it entirely to a "current status" point of view (it already is that way above the fold, but not below)
        • maybe different sections of the site contribute bits of content to the home page, including, at most, latest updated stuff and, at least, simple links to wherever more content exists (deeper in the site)
      • personal dashboard
        • scheduled stuff (home page as Outlook replacement)
        • "to do" list
        • shopping lists
      • topical "sections" to the site
        • system dynamics
        • "theory of money"
      • "pithy quote" service
