Notes

Sorry, I should have mentioned this last year, but I didn’t know that Swell 3D was chosen as the DreamHost Site of the Month for February 2009! (I really should catch up on my email some day.) Thank you, DreamHost, for honoring this site with your prestigious award.

DreamHost is the company that hosts Swell 3D on their servers. The award is chosen by polling other DreamHost customers. I use DreamHost because their hosting is packed with the advanced features I need (PHP, MySQL, and lots more), they are very low priced, and they’re even carbon neutral. Thanks, guys.

Hi. Sorry I let this blog lapse into desuetude. I would like to start posting here again. (Today, I just approved all of the comments that were waiting in moderation.)

But first, I have to migrate it to the new version 5 of Movable Type. So for the next few days, I will be moving Swell 3D to the new MT5 installation. I might totally break everything in the process, but nothing I cannot fix. If things look a little screwy here for awhile, just be patient.

Thanks!

I would like to thank Écrans for choosing Swell 3D as their site of the day. Écrans is an online supplement to Libération, the Paris newspaper founded by Jean-Paul Sartre. Above is my anaglyphic rendition of Mr. Sartre enjoying Swell 3D on his desktop computer.

I made a 3-D anaglyph out of the logo of Land O'Lakes butter, starring their beautiful Indian maiden, who has graced their packages since 1928. From now through October 15, Land O'Lakes is giving away free butter. Buy a pound of their new "half-stick" butter, and mail in the UPC and your receipt with the rebate coupon (a printable PDF), and they will refund your money (up to $4.39).

I am not publishing this at the request of Land O'Lakes, nor am I being compensated to promote their butter. Rather, this is merely a sympathetic response to francophone blogger Kevin, who likes everything about Swell 3D, except that it is written in English, and provides no free butter:

Seul bémol, le site est en anglais mais bon on peut pas avoir le beurre et l’argent du beurre.

Merci, Kevin! I have no plans to stop writing in English, but I'm happy to provide the butter free of charge.
