Embedding Flash Video from Linux

Tuesday, March 27th, 2007

So we’ve migrated the main Hand Turkey Studios website to a new backend using WordPress and a variety of other cool bits of software. One part of the process was revamping our Print and Animation portfolios to have more friendly navigation. In particular, we really needed to find a way to show our […]

Syndication… Ohhhh Yeeeaaaah

Thursday, March 8th, 2007

So you may or may not have noticed that a bucket-load of posts have been added here on sheep-dot. That’s because we’ve started a little internal syndication ring. From this point forward, anything we post on our own personal sites will automatically be aggregated and repeated here. That means Jason’s site (misaligned.net), […]

Talk at VCU LUG

Thursday, March 8th, 2007

This post has two purposes: First, just a little informative blurb to let folks know that I’ll be speaking at a VCU LUG meeting tomorrow at 1PM. It should be pretty short, but I’ll be covering some of the cool creative stuff I do with open source software. In particular, I think I’ll be covering […]

Turkeeeeeeys in [My]Space!

Monday, December 11th, 2006

Yup, that’s right. Hand Turkey Studios now has a presence on MySpace. Not only that, but each of the three of us have an account there as well. Granted, we registered somewhat begrudgingly and we all tend to grumble about it, but what’re you gonna do. Despite our own misgivings with […]

Site updates: Spam prevention

Saturday, May 20th, 2006

We’ve been getting higher-than-average amounts of Comment and Trackback spam recently, so I’ve gone ahead and installed two WordPress plugins in an attempt to control the problem a bit better: Trackback Validator and Bad Behavior.
Of course, there’s always the potential for things to go whacky or for these things to issue false positives. If […]

New Topic Icons

Tuesday, April 18th, 2006

Roberto took some time and gave us some new topic icons. They look great. Check ‘em out:

These are *much* better than the slap-dash ones I’d put up initially. Wouldn’t you agree?

Site updates

Friday, November 25th, 2005

Alright… I’m mostly happy with the layout of the site. I’ve implemented the RSS Import Plugin (see the sidebar for examples… we’re pulling headlines from Blender.org and Slashdot.org, and we’ll probably add a couple). Also, I went ahead and tweaked the Multi-Topic-Icon to display the multiple icons vertically instead of horizontally. In […]

Hello world!

Monday, November 21st, 2005

Alright… sheep.handturkeystudios.com is now alive! In case the header wasn’t enough of a clue, this site will be the home of all of Hand Turkey’s side projects; things that are related to what we do, but not necessarily tied to the business side of things. You’ll see random sketches, full stories, code, tests, […]
