Another blog bites the dust..

I should've written this awhile ago. For those of you who subscribe to this feed, or look at the blog, you may have noticed that it seems to be a little quiet in here. I mentioned a couple of posts ago that I was moving to a wordpress blog. Well the move has taken place and I stopped updating here. The main goal is to create a new webpage that combines the blog, homepage and comic all in one page. Now I've accomplished most of that, I transferred the site feed on the current home page to accommodate the new blog. So update your bookmarks, this is the new link to the blog: http://tomcatltd.com/wordpress/ It's a little rough around the edges so far, so I haven't launched it yet, but you can browse Same Apartment and read the news, so it's in the final stages. This will be my final blogger post and eventually this blog will be unavailable to view, but fear not dear reader the posts you've read and loved are in the new one. In fact I've amalgamated all the blog posts from here all the way back to 2005 for your viewing pleasure.

Leetle White Rabbit..

Posey is pale. What can I say? That whole blush thing started long ago because I was trying to add color to her. Anyway, sorry for the delay in uploading this one, but it's been a shitty week. I don't mind saying that, because it's not just what's in the news, but here at work too (new managers trying to impress people always work against the peons doing the actual work). So all in all it's been a shitty week all around. Who knows, maybe with a new month coming in we'll be able to turn this around (justkeepswimming..). But enough about that. What good news is there? Well here you go, I finally got started making a new site. A couple of weeks ago, I started up a wordpress blog and am working to convert the site, from my own bubblegum and string code into something that is not only easy to update, but easy to change if the thought strikes me. I'll have you know, I had things to change about the current version of the site as soon as I put it up. I'm actually typing this up on Wordpress as we speak. So that's one of my goals. I'll have the feed ready asap, but for now the posts are going up simultaneously on blogger and wordpress before the blogger version of the blog (both of them) go down for good (and don't worry, all of that ranty goodness isn't going anywhere, because I've already gotten the archives from both blogs going back to 2005 already on wordpress).

Also, you know what else is a good thing? This comic, by coincidence, goes up on the third anniversary of Same Apartment! I like that because I wasn't able to celebrate the second anniversary because of the blackout last year when my computer died. And let's not forget the fact that I've been a part of this wonderful deviantart community for three years AND this is officially my 300th deviation. So I guess good things do come in threes, even THREES (unless you count the wordpress thing.. then that's four..)

Oh, and Faded-Myth, this Gar shirt is for you!

Doop Dee Doo!

Hey what do you know?! I'm on Technorati!

Same Apartment dot com request..

Ok, I updated the site edition of the comic after all these months after my computer died. I'll be back to putting up the normal blog updates and thumbnails in the comic archives soon here, but I'm concentrating more on this week's comic for now. But it's nice that now not only can you see both parts of the 100th comic up there (I was able to update on DA but not on the site, since I wasn't able to get to tomekeeper on another computer), you can also see all the current comics that are up. We're now up to SA#104, so that's good.

Funny thing is that according to Thurinus, I could've updated as soon as I got my new computer.. Not sure on the details, but that's my bad.

Anyway here's a request. Since the site's been dead, Same Apartment's stats on thewebcomicslist.com have completely flatlined. Help support Gar and crew there by checking out the comic on the site. All you have to do is click the link and check out the most current page at http://sameapartment.com/ Just click the link, if you like browse through the archives and if you haven't read the comics here on Deviantart, then you can read through them on the handy dandy browser. But even if you don't want to read or have already done so, then just click the link and move on to other interweb adventures.
Let's see if we can bring Same Apartment back to three digits again.

Echo.. Echo.. Echo..

Is there anybody out there? I hope so, even though there's been a media blackout here on Tomcat Ltd. Let me explain. My normal computer that I use to make the comic and update the site suffered a power surge that completely fried the motherboard. I've been updating through simple pictures on my deviantart page, here.. I have replaced my computer and have resumed on Same Apartment. Unfortunately I don't yet have the means to update the site. On the good side, I will be updating through Deviant Art and will be updating every Saturday as usual. In fact I think I have something right now..

I really need to get back into a rhythm..

Seriously I didn't even realize that I hadn't put up the blog post and thumbnail in the comic archives for this page.. Gotta get on top of that.



In other news, I finally broke down and bought the domain name for http://sameapartment.com. Yay me! Please go and redirect your bookmarks now.. Chop chop!

Front.. Back.. Whatever...

And we're back!! *jazz hands!!

It's been a long and painful struggle. It's been hard. It's been painful, and it's been a struggle. I'm pleased to report that while everything didn't go smoothly with the move, it did at least go. Every bit of my crap is now at the new place. We got internetz up and running and now I can upload from the comfort of my own computer. That doesn't mean to say that Same Apartment hasn't been uploading. I just haven't had the chance to do it on my computer. The Black and White arc has gone down and now that I did it I'm glad. If it weren't for something that simple, I wouldn't have been able to keep updating for as long as I was. I'd hate for it to go on hiatus just because of internet delays. If you haven't been keeping up, here's a nice link for you to start off where we left off.

What you get if you add 70 and 548,627..

Happy half a million hits Tomcat Ltd! It's nice to see Leroy again.



This is the original joke that led to the little vignette on last week's comic. And thanx to the written stylings of Cheese Goddess, the words of Benson are really messed up. But it was fun making Mac's mortified expressions so that alone was worth conjuring those images. Hope you like some fun at Mac's expense. It's been a treat doing Benson and Butler this last month, but I think I'll take a break from them for a while. This one was the first comic with Benson but no Butler, but that's not something I'll make permanent.

This probably has more word bubbles than any other comic.

Pixelicious..

This was a simple idea that came to me. I figured I'd just have Gar running up a hill. Then I thought of the pixelly things that people had been doing all over Deviantart, and thought to add the Mario Bros angle to it. For anybody's information, this isn't an example of any particular game, just a mash up of different things from a few of them. High Scores are fun (of course, they'd be more fun if I was any good at these kinds of games.

One more thing, if anybody's interested.. There's a new Same Apartment page up on my site, Tomcat Ltd. It's roughly the same as before, but the code's been updated courtesy of Thurinus and his mad coding skillz. Now there's a handy dropdown menu with all the comics in it. Plus it should be much faster for those with slower net connections. So head down there and check it out. Same Apartment's new page..

Seems Blogger updated themselves..

Now I can put up the posts for the last bits of news over the weeks I've been locked out. Technical Difficulties shall pass. Anyway, one thing you missed if you only look at the blog, Mac's a girl!!



Yep she's always been a girl. You think not? Go ahead and prove it.

Got some new pictures on Deviant Art if anybody likes that. One thing of interest is a preview of the next comic. It'll be completely cut up in the comic, so I thought I'd put this out as a separate piece, since I liked it so much.



And a bit of development work for Posey's new uniform. This was done in *GASP* real media. Prismacolors to be specific. I've really gotta put those on the site sometime.
