Five o'clock shadow. | Thanks for your comments on my last post, everyone. I felt that Mimmi really deserved to be recognized.
When I made this layout, I considered the idea of putting a little box on the right, where I could basically plug something each week. The idea was to, you know, advertise/promote things that people are doing in general (ie: I'd never plug my own stuff there). But I couldn't make it look right and I was unsatisfied with the result. So...maybe I'll figure something out. I kind of like the idea though.
I also decided to take up Mimmi's myOtaku challenge. I agreed that one day I will randomly access her myO and give it a total makeover. So she'll come online one day and it'll look totally different.
It's a really fun idea, I think. And it's a good challenge. I've already completed certain graphics for it; I hope she likes it. Either way, it'll be a fun exercise. Something like this was done before (I'm not sure if they wanted me to mention it or not -- but it had to do with entries on each other's pages, rather than graphics). I won't mention their names though, just in case. ~_^
But it's a fun idea. There's something odd and interesting about just hijacking someone's page and leaving your mark on it; that is, when you have permission. I'm hoping the Feds don't monitor myOtaku. >_>
On this note, I've also been informed about our next big event at OtakuBoards. It relates to myOtaku. So, if you've begun dabbling in Alan's hacking tips, you'll be in a good position to enter that event. Not to say it's a requirement, but having a unique and cool design will definitely help.
Anyway, the other day Adam and I were talking about web development in general. We were reflecting on theOtaku.com, OtakuBoards and myOtaku...and how we are happy with them and we've enjoyed the challenge (considering that neither of us never knew much at all about anime -- and still probably don't, compared to most of you).
I told Adam that although making sites that primarily appeal to teenage girls is a lot of fun, I'd really like to do something totally different. Just as anime was a HUGE change for Adam (and for me as well), I thought it might be fun to randomly dive into something totally different.
So we talked about it for a while and we decided that our next big project should be S&M-based. Adam showed me a really cool site about this subject (I loved the design!) and we agreed that it'd be a cool idea.
If you don't know what "S&M" means, don't worry; you won't like the site anyway. For the rest of you, I hope you look forward to it. *cracks whip*
