Fishvan is redesigned. Again yet again. Check out the mad CSS skills I learnt on the wide world internet! This page is not bound by the shakles of <table> tags or the tyranny of something or another. No, I say! Not bound! Instead it is light and fluffily designed with <div> tags and unicorn kisses.

Fishvan is redesigned. Yet again.

09.17.2007

Been a while. Check out some of my artwork at The Replacement Komics.

09.09.2005

Here is the first official FISHVAN wallpaper. The resolution is 1280 X 1024.

Antithesis Art has been revamped. I have just put up some art I find interesting until I can do something worth while. P.S. Hello after a year and a half. Also, here is a high resolution scan of the fishvan.

Habegger Design has been revamped. Again I used the Gimp for graphic design. I have refocused the site from a design "package" format to something more open. Hopefully that means my (virtual) door will be beaten (figuratively) down. Now I can focus on Antithesis Art. I would like to rethink the gallery aspect of the site. My current idea is something more like "Ministry of Propaganda" for the ideas behind Antithesis Art. If most art comes from counterculture, and then the counterculture becomes mainstream, and then there is a counterculture movement against the new mainstream........ This is making my head hurt.

At long last, finally, it's about time, why didn't I do it before, and so forth. There are nine new pictures in the Family Pictures section. They are even as recent as September and October. Crazy, huh?

11.10.2003

Yet again, here is a new look. I think this is one I can stick with for a while. I developed the graphics using the Gimp graphics program on a Red Hat Linux 9 desktop. As you may or may not know, that is the culmination of a five year dream. I used this project to learn some of the basic skills needed for real image manipulation in gimp. The only thing I didn't generate from scratch was the picture of the fishvan. I scanned that years ago. The design itself is based heavily on the front page of Ximian's web site. I liked their look, but not being a commercial site, I could afford to use more real estate on my header.

You may notice that the content has also changed. I've added some links to sites I find interesting. I don't agree with everything each of these sites puts forth, but they are always good for something to chew on. I've also limited the artwork to the few for which I still have an affinity. I hope, beyond hope, to add more family pictures soon. (Halloween was visually rich this year.) My resume is the same, as is the contact mailto. There are two additional links, one to Habegger Design and one to Antithesis Art. Both are side projects (in process) that I would like to pursue over time.

The Habeggers have moved. We are now in Zionsville. The house is over 100 years old and has some quirks, (i.e.the floor slopes so bad I often think I have an inner ear problem) but we absolutely love our new digs. Dawn has told me that every day feels like we are on vacation. There is no lack of little shops within walking distance, and the park is only four blocks away. Even my job is about 3 1/2 minutes closer. Contact me for our new address & phone number.

09.30.2003

The web site has a new look and feel, but the same worthless content. I've desegregated the content and removed the "Personal" and "Commercial" aspects. I hope to add more family pictures soon.

We're moving. The Chateau du Pamplemousse will no longer be our humble adobe. We will be moving to a quaint rental in Zionsville mid October.

08.13.2003

I've updated my resume to reflect new skills and experience.

08.10.2003

First update in nearly a year. Go figure. I've added some pics in the Family Pictures section. None of them are exactly new, but they are certainly newer than last year's!

09.06.2002

There is now artwork available in the Commercial section. If you want to buy it, send me a note.

09.04.2002

I've added my resume to the Commercial section. If you are looking for a UNIX administrator, let me know.

09.03.2002

Check out the Personal section. I've added some pictures. You may have seen them already, but it will provide a base for additional pictures.

Zeke had his first day of school today! We are home schooling, so 2 1/2 isn't really all that young to start. He is very excited about the scissors.

We also had our first family outing in FishVAN II. We went to see my parents for part of the day. Isabelle showed off nicely: "Here is how I sleep. Here is how I poop. Here is how I cry. Here is how I smile." Zeke had a blast. He even got to take his nap with "Grandpa Big".

08.31.2002

Well, it is official: we're Yuppies. That's right, we now own a house in the suburbs and a minivan. I've dubbed it "FishVAN II", but because the current paint job is attractive, I'm not certain the name will stick.

08.30.2002

Hold on to your hat, the Habeggers are getting a van. No, not another FishVAN, but a minivan. Zeke keeps asking: "Where is the Mickeyvan?"

Isabelle is sleeping eight or nine hours every night now. Since this bizarre turn of events, the happy parents have been known to smile at breakfast.
