I am not dead (yet)

News: October 2nd, 2007

Sorry for the huuuuuuuge delay in updating Sheercore. I’ve been working on cool things, and was just too busy and/or lazy. I PROMISE TO BE BETTER IN FUTURE. SERIOUSLY.

Join me in my Ready Room

News: September 7th, 2007

We don’t have a t-shirt just yet, but I can at least offer you some desktop wallpaper. You can now proclaim your Star Trek nerd status even as you order the curvy and ambitious young Ensign Candi to join you in your Ready Room.
There’s a preview of the wallpaper below, and you can click it […]

Approaching Critical Awesomeness

News: September 7th, 2007

You may recall that the topic of critical awesomeness was discussed in this comic, and it’s an idea that appeals to me for obvious reasons. Can one person be just too awesome? I think the answer is: “Yes.”
I’m talking about the level of awesomeness that would cause some kind of subspace anomaly to form just […]

Put your ad on Sheercore for free!

News: September 5th, 2007

OK, I removed the Google AdSense ads after only 24 hours, because I quickly realised two things:

Because the topic of the comic changes constantly, and because there’s not a large body of text, the ads aren’t particularly well-targeted, and indeed are usually just sites relating to comics in a generic way.
The actual available ads just […]

You can’t escape the ads

News: September 4th, 2007

You may have noticed (unless you’re reading this from a feed) that I’ve added some Google AdSense text ads in the sidebar. I’m experimenting with this at the moment, so please excuse the intrusion! I’ve tried to make them fit the visual theme of the site as much as possible, and I chose a small […]

Late Night Comics

News: September 3rd, 2007

I was already in bed when I realised I’d not actually drawn Tuesday’s comic yet, and the potential distress of my three or four dedicated readers was not lost on me. Thus, I got back up, and the comic is now done. So CALM THE HELL DOWN.
Just a quick note that I’ve also added a […]

Episode 25

News: September 1st, 2007

It’s after 1 in the morning, so I’ll make this quick: with today’s strip, we’ve reached 25 episodes, which is kind of amazing for me.
I’ve having a lot of fun with the comic, and I just wanted to say a quick thanks to all those who have mentioned (in person, online, or in text messages) […]

Linky Dinks

News: August 21st, 2007

A swift note that I’ve added small buttons so you can add any comic (or news post, if for some reason you feel the need) to your bookmarks on Ma.gnolia or Del.icio.us, or to Digg. Cheers to that Ivy bloke for the Ma.gnolia and Del.icio.us icons (and to Digg for the other one).

Happy Birthday Philo

News: August 20th, 2007

Today would have been Phil Lynott’s 58th birthday, had he not been snatched from us by drug abuse 21 years ago. If you’re feeling like it, put some Thin Lizzy on and pay musical tribute to The Rocker.
Wherever he is right now, tonight there’s surely gonna be a jailbreak.

Star power

News: August 19th, 2007

Really quick update today: I’ve just added star ratings for each comic, using the nifty WP-PostRatings plugin, so feel free to rate the comics if you so desire. You should see the rating stars directly beneath each comic, both on the home page and at each comic’s permanent URL. Let me know if you encounter […]
