So good to see the Queen of Hearts back on Problem Adults.

We didn’t have the capabilities and know-how that we have now, so her Majesty was forced to post her column in message boards, now she can do it right in her own section.

So, do you write? Tutorials? Erotica? Columns?

Well we WANT YOU! With the newly-remodeled Problem Adults v3.0, we’re going back to our original vision of making the site a one-stop-shop for all your web needs. It’s a great place to promote yourself and even escape the pressures of everyday life.

What we lack in pay (none, actually) we more than make up for in international fame.

More details in my Zoints blog entry over there.

What you can’t see it? Guess you have to join us then, huh?

Yeah, there’s always a catch with me.
You should know that by now.

W00t!
We’re still closed to the public, but Problem Adults 3.0 is still under renovation and getting better and better….

I just unveiled the new design for our latest incarnation “Party Planet” – It’s kind of our hope to attract more “hi-tech” and “creative” types to the joint. We’ve got some great people there… a few are making more layouts, and they truly “get it” with what we’re trying to do there. We were just chosen to be beta testers for new software and we are gonna blow people AWAY!!!!

I just feel like bragging here…

Who ROCKS? WE ROCK!

We’ve decided to close our doors to the public at Problem Adults for a while. We’re regrouping and going back to the original vision of making it a virtual playground for the Web Elite…

Besides a chat room with Artificially Intelligent chat hostesses, a gallery, an arcade with 300 games and our own Cafepress store…

…now we’re offering tutorials, and have our own internal social networking system. It’s like MySpace, only without the creeps.

Coming soon will be articles and columns by our members, and a new section called “After Hours”, where… you know. Grownups talk about the stuff they do after the kids have gone to bed.

Exciting times indeed.

I’m seeing a surge of visitors who are responding to my flyers posted in the area.

I would assume you’ve heard the tired sales pitches like “Would you let a friend build your house?” or “Would you hire your nephew to fix your electric wiring?”…

Pay now or pay later.
It’s common sense. You let someone who knows what they’re doing handle such important matters. Maybe your friend is a mechanic. Maybe your nephew is a professional technician. I’ll wager 99% of the time they’re not, are they?
Yet, many businesses still take a “Do-it-yourself” approach with websites; taking the most cost-effective route with their “first impression” to the public. If a person walked into their office looking disheveled and seeking a job, they would not hire them… IRONICALLY they fail to realize that their website has the same “turn-off” effect as that.

As you can see, I’ve been spending a lot of time upgrading/repairing the place. Trying to optimize the site for better search engine placement for Web Designers in the Poconos.

Plans are in the works to bring back the “Free Stuff” section. That was always popular, and as you recall I had to shut it down for a while. I also want to highlight my 3D work and what better way to do that than to make a “Meet The Cast” section on the site:

Of course there’s CyberPal… I’ve recently redone him and remapped his head for better rendering.

There’s also a new Bozilla the Clown, done up in Michael 3, but making his clothes fit his fat ass is a pain (then again, the P4 version was a hassle too. Definite discrimination against the “calorically-challenged” in the 3D world!)

But the piece de resistance is our lovely SpokesModel and my cyber-sidekick, Randi… who translated to Victoria 3 almost flawlessly… is she still a hottie, or what?

Also scheduled to be featured will be Stress-Man, as well as the Vixens from ClubX (Jeanna, Miss Demeanor and Dixie). And all of the textures, morphs, props and playsets will be available in the new Free Stuff section.

While it’s been powering my site for over three years now, I’ve mostly used the PHP/Myadmin in the back to make updates (making a front end interface seems even harder than the original scripting.)

But well…

TAAAA DAAAA! All done up in purple, royal blue and silver, it’s making my life so much easier. It even has a “Smart Installer” that does all the work for you (for a few modules so far).

After long thought I’ve decided to keep it proprietary and for select friends and clients only. Who needs the hassle of offering strangers support and upgrades? Besides and it’s so much easier for me to make custom jobs without worrying about hacker exploits after it’s open source.

Much gratitude to Master Programmer Kyle DeFranco for helping me with a few problems with my login section today.
But hey, you want a political site, showcase, online store or real estate site made by me?

Talk to me….

Do you have a MySpace page?
Do you want a LOT of friends?

Well Problem Adults has a contest this week. All you have to do write one little itty-bitty blog entry about us (preferably something wild & outrageous!), and the winner will have THOUSANDS of friends coming to their MySpace page and being added ALL week!

Ya know… I should check my links more often.

Back in 2000, Richard Rubin hired me to design “Tortilla Man” (or at least that’s what I call him) and the “La Tortilla Loca” logo , and we were going to design his website next. Nicest guy you could ever work with. We lost touch shortly after that, and I assumed he never got a website done or the product out. So I put the project in my “Dead In The Water” section (Did I really write “indistry”??? JEEZ!).

Well… had I bothered to click on the link to www.latortillaloca.com in the last four years I would have known he did INDEED get a website. (And the guys at kt Webdesigns did a great job too.).

As Richard wrote me recently: “Eric, all is alive and well, we are selling 1,000′s of our tortilla warmers and the the logo you designed is still going strong, we are far from DEAD IN THE WATER’ as you state on your site.”

See what happens when you assume kids? LOL!

Well I think this is great news and if there’s anyone I wanted to see make a success of his ideas it was him! Congratulations Richard, and LONG LIVE TORTILLA MAN!!!!
(Now I gotta move that out of Dead in the Water and make it a logo design entry.)
