# About me
I'm a web developer. I help make deviantART work. I occasionally break it (see badges).I would love to be able to draw but so far no attempts have proved that to be a reasonable expectation. I'd say I have a good enough eye for aesthetics, layout and design, (I've designed a bunch of websites and simple print stuff) but I've never considered myself a designer or artist.
These days I stay pretty firmly in code land and love the creativity of solving complex problems. Alas, it is hard to express this creativity in a gallery!

Happy New Year my friend!
Every era has its errors, let's hope this new one has less than the last.
I look forward to 2016 with you!

Attention, attention! This is a very important message. Read thoroughly!
The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade agreement has just been published, and it is going to substantially threaten DeviantArt's life and future. This deal is dangerous for DeviantArt because of its intellectual property enforcement chapter, whose provisions could destroy this site's mission, which is to "[create] the cultural context for how [art] is created, discovered, and shared," and "to exhibit, promote, and share their works with an enthusiastic, art-centric community." On a larger scale, the TPP would also destroy the careers of nearly every artist who posts works on this site.
The TPP's intellectual property chapter includes provisions that could censor the Internet, endanger online privacy, impose draconian copyright standards, abolish freedom of expression, criminalize whistleblowing, and rob the public domain. Internet service providers could be held liable for hosting copyright infringement, and they could also be forced to become private copyright enforcers, forced to take down, filter, and block content with only a private notice from the copyright holder. So, under the TPP's provisions, DeviantArt could be shut down and its users and staff could be treated like criminals.
The TPP would push for the widespread use of Digital Rights Management software, or DRM, to prevent consumers from tinkering with devices or content for purposes that corporations fear will infringe their copyrights and patents. Consumers could be prevented from unlocking their mobile phones to change telecom carriers, and prevent documentary filmmakers and other artists from breaking encryption on DVDs or sampling online streaming videos, where legal threats could be faced even if the video is created legally. People with visual or reading disabilities could be prevented from changing the formats of books and movies to make them more accessible. Not only unauthorized content, but also unauthorized software, could be blocked under the TPP's digital locks provisions. There is NO EVIDENCE that DRM does much to combat copyright infringement or protect consumers from viruses. All DRM does is suppress companies that promote innovation, criminalize sharing, and hinder and break the Internet and new technologies.
This is an emergency. You need to take action before this extreme pact can be implemented. And if the TPP is implemented, our right to share, modify, and experiment with content and technology could be faced with overly severe restrictions. As such, this site could be brought to its end, once and for all.
You can help stop the TPP by signing the below petition:

Hi there random deviantartist! I just want to offer you something... a hug.
You deserve it! Forget all those pansy chains that say you need (insert
number) of hugs to be truly loved, all you need is ONE person to show
their appreciation for you to know that you are beautiful and of amazing
worth! I just want you to know that no matter what, you are important
to me, you deserve a smile on your face, and happiness in your heart.
Have a very, very splendid day/night wherever you are!
~Bailey, just a random friend!

Dearest DA staff member,
I only have one question.
Why doesn't Deviantart let the site users know what changes you'll make BEFORE they are made? Why no site-wide news release about it to inform us?

Hey, I have a question..Can you somehow help me to change my birthday? It's just wrong written... it's written that I have on the 3th birthday. But I have on the 23th..I need help..
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sure, go to settings (hover over your username up in the site header bar and then choose "Settings" from drop down menu). Then click "General" under the "Personal" header on the left. In the first box on the right you should see your birthday with a link next to it saying "Change birthday".
If you don't see that change link it may be because you already changed your birthday before - we limit users to only change once to correct a mistake, allowing people to change it all the time can lead to abuse and confusion in our systems. If that is the case for you and you really do need it changed, you can contact our help desk: [link] .

This was my message to deviantArt:
"Wouldn't it be cool to have music play when your art comes up? Maybe a play button, so it is not automatic. a 15 second song loop that the artist chooses. It is just an idea for now. I hope DA and you would like this idea (yes, I am capable of making classical music as well as any other form of music)."
That is my pitch to artists and to DeviantArt. I think this idea would be such a big boon to the music artist, and be seen as favorable to DA and the Artist in general.
I can provide free, royalty free music, maybe for a credit or link to my music page? This can grow to big bands in the future. Float the trial balloon.
Tell me what you think. How can I improve on this idea? Art with Music.

Heyo. I was wondering if you could help me with school work maybe for CSS and stuff like that? Even if you could just give a few pointers that'd be great

Hey ~MokkaChan ,
There are a ton of good resources out there on the web and you'll probably get better results from searching and then asking in some HTML/CSS forum like [link]
I'd be happy to answer any quick questions you may have if I see them but honestly you'll get a better response from putting your questions out to a much wider audience than just me on my profile!
Good luck with your studies.

Hello!
You are an admin of DA and I would like you to look at this: [link]
This picture has a link to a journal I would like you to follow and watch the video for.
As DA is a community of artists who all enjoy the written word, the flow of paint, the pencil lead, all forms of art that expresses who we are and what we believe, I feel that this is a very important topic that other deviants need to be aware of. And as an admin to DA you have many watchers and can even post a site-wide notice about this.
Please, as a concerned deviant who wants to spread the word and help out this cause, I ask that you at least look at the video the deviation I have linked you to will show you.

Why thank you. What's up with all these random ducks? I've definitely missed the story on it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It all started back in SanFran at our meetup last summer...
Long story short, all the dT guys got put in pairs by picking from Sasha's huge array of ducks.
I got quite attached to mine. I actually left him in SF but he got brought back by Martin who left later and posted to me from the UK...

Hi Paul, I tried uploading photos from my iPad... It didn't work. Am I doing something wrong?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Not directly with the site - unfortunately iOS Safari does not allow you to use web-based file uploaders of images or files on your iDevice.
There is an alternative though. You can use our Sta.sh email uploader - go to [link] and set up email uploads. Then you can email your photos as attachments to the address provided and you will see them show up in your stash: [link] from there you can edit preview and submit to dA.
We should also look into showing a failure message on iOS for regular submit too.
