New site design 29 Jan 2012
Well I finally decided to get rid of wordpress and regain control of the site. Expect a few more changes in the future.
Please let me know anything that is odd or any links that are not working. Hate mail is welcome too.
There are a few known issues:
- The feed in Google Reader will reset and display all posts and comics as new entries... sorry about that, you'll have to 'mark all as read'. To be honest, I'm not sure it works at all...
- Comment counts on index page always display 0. Working on it!
- I need to add links to
The design is an evolution of a design that my friend Sergi made about two years ago as a draft thing I could start with. I'd say that taking two years to implement a design doesn't qualify me as the greatest web developer in the world... but I get there, don't I?
The site uses a nice thing called Jekyll and the code is in github for you all to peruse. I'll probably post some other entries with small details about that, to help people that might be trying to do the same thing. The comments have been migrated to Disqus, but you shouldn't see much difference.

After the corporate invasion was averted, the adventures of Paul continue.
At least for a while :).

I have this temptation to post the actual organization diagram we've been having to deal with lately, as no matter how much I try to exaggerate it, it would never get any funnier than that one actually is.
But I won't... that would be mean.

True story. For monkey's worst enemy is themselves.

Don't worry this kind of humor and in-jokes will be over soon, I just find it very funny. It's just a silly play since we were recently invaded by corporate zombies ourselves. Well, to be honest I'm pretty sure I'm a corporate zombie too. I just try not to eat human brains, not unlike Vampires that choose not to drink blood. Maybe this will be like the 6th Sense where in the end I'll find out I'm actually dead, and have always been. <cue scary music>
Anyway, this is to say that Paul's escape will soon reach a conclusion and we'll be back to more normal strips.
PS: I had to re-use the little monkey that tap-taps Paul on the back, I just had. I like it too much.
PPS: In hindsight, a monkey that touches himself with unusual frequency was not such a good idea for a character :).

Oh God this is too horrible to even describe. All hope is lost.
PS: No, I don't know who the m-monkey is supposed to be :).

Paul the innovator (18): The escape continues 18 Nov 2011
This hasn't yet happened, but whenever there is a zombie invasion everybody fears the undead will wake up those projects long thought dead, yes the horrible mistakes! The horror!
Note: Please don't judge me by my ability (or lack of) to come up with onomatopoeia in English.

Sorry for the delays, it's been busy over here. Watch poor Paul try to save his beloved monkeys from the Zombie invasion. Will he make it?
The corporate merge freed thousands of middle management brainless Zombies that are now desperate for brains, projects and heads... or headcount... ANYTHING.

Paul the innovator (16): Office party 24 Oct 2011
This is all true. Every. Single. Bit. Of. It.
Unfortunately the office ethics code prohibits recording in office parties. Otherwise I would have proof.
But, trust me on this ;).
