All my commentaries – written or video – collected under one parent category.
After a month’s hiatus (unless you want to count the “lost” post also up today), The Bite is back and so am I apparently, although it doesn’t really seem like I left. I really don’t have much to add to the proceedings today, but chances are I’ll shoot back with a second commentary within a couple of weeks.

It’s Friday the 13th. And we all know what that means… Another Bite commentary. And so enough of the fluffy introductions you probably skip over anyway and let’s get on with the show. I’ll try and make sure that there is more than enough material.

(2021 Update: Unearthed from the archives for the first time, a previously unpublished Bite commentary, found among other things that I thought had been lost forever.)
Hey, kids. I wanted to get this out sooner, but I needed a day or two to process things and, really, I’m not sure if I want to spend this column talking about anything else since there is only one piece of business.

Hi there and welcome to another monthly Bite commentary. Tonight is PPV night and I guess I should be excited, but the truth is I’m somewhat unsettled and for good reason. I have been somewhat unsettled for the past few days now and quite frankly, it’s making me sick.

I welcome you to the Bite and, for those who haven’t come here yet, I additionally welcome you to the new Webstation, which is now up for real. At the time the other commentary was written, it was planned that the site would be fully operational. Obviously, I timed it wrong and never bothered to fix the snafu. So if you really need me to pimp the site, then just read the other August entry where all the pimping is happening.

I’ve made mention on the blog that I’ll be posting two entries this month. This is the first of the two while the other will be up close to the end of the month. If all goes well, something “special” will be announced on that edition. Having said that, I welcome you to the Bite and I additionally welcome you to the new Webstation. I’ll be completely honest with you; the design was done for a few months now, but I was working mostly on organization of content and division of stuff. Hopefully, this will pan out longer than the previous design (at least for the rest of the year… maybe longer.)
You’d probably notice that there’s randomly-generated banners on top once again. The good news is that unlike the first time, I know how the damn code works and things work a little more smoothly. Good thing too, because I really don’t feel like searching through my old files in fifteen different folders and reassemble everything for six hours. Yes, that’s how bad the old-style coding was for the site and that’s why the indefinitely-delayed Legacy forum (which would have displayed all the old sites in their full glory) is just that. Recent versions have more cleaner codes thanks to a refined knowledge of basic webpage creation.
Two weeks of vacation had gone rather smoothly outside of my brother’s brief stay(s) at the hospital. Good news is he doesn’t have any known heart conditions, bad news is that he’s had these panic attacks to the point where he basically can’t do anything now. Right now, he’s steadily recovering, but it’s a long road. Here’s hoping he gets better.
Other than that, things have been smooth and relaxing. Which is necessary since work is starting to get busier. That’s okay though. Work’s good for me. Especially since I get to work on some interesting stuff that passes through the pre-press stage of things.
That’s all for this edition… some of you are wondering if I neglected to mention something. Trust me, I know what’s missing. I know it’s something I touch on in every edition of the Bite since its return. But you know what? I’m not bothering with that anymore… not today anyway. If you really need my thoughts on that particular “tradition” or something, check out the Blog where the subject has been dominating as of late.
See you in a few weeks.
With a new month comes a new commentary. I won’t drag with the introductions this time around, so let’s get on with it, shall we?

Look at that. I actually got another one up two weeks later. Of course, this is already breaking the unwritten rules associated with this revived commentary, but that’s okay. It just means I have more to say and comment on this month. If anyone has a problem with that, please push that back button now and get the hell out of here… or do something revolutionary and read my words for they shall set you free… or something.
Now, there is a bit of a confession lying between these words: there isn’t any cemented intention of making this an ongoing deal. Like I said, my hopes is to get one in once a month, but with my hecticly jumbled schedule, I’m not quite sure if I can even fit that in. I’m having hard times just posting on the blog. Rest assured that I’ll certainly have a new commentary next month for all three people reading this thing right now.

2014 Introduction
The first new Bite commentary since September 2004 was posted on June 6th, 2006 – or rather 06/06/06. Clever, huh? Well, not really.
If I recall correctly, the decision to revive the Bite came about due to the fact that Tripod’s blogging software wouldn’t publish my blog post on account of being too long, so I had to upload the whole thing as a webpage and provide a link through said blog post. So while I enjoyed writing blog posts, I didn’t enjoyed being imposed length limits to how long each blog post should be. I can happily say that, thus far, I haven’t suffered the same limitations on my current blog.
My current day thoughts and reflections (in bold, of course) will be at a minimum here, because this isn’t as ancient of a post as some of the other stuff I might toss here in the future, but I’ll chime in here or there.

DTM Blog Post No. 200
DTM Blog ended 2005 with its 200 post, less than two years old at the time. And yet, here we are with a 2+ year old blog and 600 posts. Amazing what a better blogging interface will do for you.
So yeah, this is it. The 200th post of DTM Blog is conveniently the final post of 2005. And believe me, as much as I want to piss on the past year for all the stupid things I had to put up with, I really can’t. So I won’t. But I’ll just take the time to say thanks to those who have bothered to read this thing. And I hope that you stick around for the next year (or at the very list the next hundred posts), where there’ll be more of me rambling. But then, that’s all the blog has ever really been about, isn’t it?
And so as we kiss 2005 good-bye and send it on a trip to the retirement home, we look back on some of the good, bad, and tweener events that have shaped this great year.
