New Model
What a crazy weekend. I basically had to babysit a large group of teenagers. Perhaps babysit isn't the right word, but nonetheless, it was interesting to say the least.

It gave me some time to do a little thinking. I'm coming very close to finishing up the bulk of work for myOtaku 3.0 and I'm very happy with the progress. I am privately calling it "Project Seagull" at the moment. Why? Because when it launches, it'll fly so high that it'll shit on everything else. Actually, car enthusiasts may recognize that term. Somehow it does seem to apply to what we're working on presently. ~_^

I've also been thinking about what to do next. Once myO 3.0 is shoved out of the door, there will obviously still be other major things to do around this network. We have one other major site planned (major in the sense that it will be as broad in scope as theOtaku.com...but different). And there are a few other cool things mixed in there, which I think will be surprising whenever they surface.

In terms of web development specifically, I have a lot of personal work to complete (a portfolio site, a site for Velegant Design, various freelance work and eventually a shiny new N-Sider). The final item on the list will probably end up being the biggest project I've ever worked on, whenever it gets done. Considering this is the age of Revolution, it'll have to reflect that...which is no easy task. But sometimes I'm able to randomly pull rabbits out of my hat, so we'll see.

But beyond all of that, I've been thinking of other things that I could tackle. There is no shortage of subjects that I could devote my time to and a few are kind of bubbling to the surface right now. Hopefully I can show you the results of that some day and hopefully you will be surprised.

In any case, when the new myO is completed, you will know where I've been all this time. It feels kind of funny to be so busy and to really have nothing to show for it, publicly at least. A couple of people have been shown bigger samples of what I'm working on and the reaction has been really positive so far. Hopefully the broader audience thinks along the same lines. We'll see.




Tonykins: Cool.

hEvN: Don't worry, I would never propose to anyone who is attached. You're safe.

elfy: I often feel that way - that relationships make things too complicated. But sometimes the complication is a good thing.

Annsie: Aw. ~_^

Doc G: I would avoid long distance relationships at all costs, yes. That's one complication I absolutely couldn't afford.

And yes, I still strongly recommend 1984. ^_^

Asuki: Hah! Yes, I think you have experienced this in some way - you were the First Wife weren't you? (Implying that there were more than one). ~_^

Shinnethy: You give me so little faith in mankind at times!

Mimmi: Aw, that's a comment. No insane ramblings present there. And thanks for the vibes! ^_^

John: Yes, I really need to buy it actually. I tend to only buy things like that if I really really enjoy them (which is why I have relatively few DVDs, though I do have quite a lot of books). But yeah, it's one of a handful of books I'd like to pick up.

dbzanimegrl17omg!!: *tear* That's so beautiful! Why aren't more people that romantic when it comes to leg humping?

SunfallE: Don't worry, the water reference (like many of my post titles) has nothing to do with my actual post or anything. It's often a random thought pulled from something unrelated. If I told you I'd have to kill you.

Oddness is a good trait, yup.

Aaryanna: How nice, hehe. Cute accents? Um, you'll have to ask Annie her opinion of my accent.

Sara: If I posess any quality, it's stamina. At least, when it comes to certain things (like depressing stories).

As for my comments, well, my own comments frequently confuse me. So don't worry, your reaction is entirely natural.

Chab: Well, I was born in Australia and I've lived here all my life. Guess. ~_^

darkangel501: How concise of you.

Baronness: IE blocks it too, funnily enough. But yes, I've mentioned it to Adam. Hopefully our advertiser is suitably trouted.

Mitch: The extra numerals add charm.

MolotovCocktease: Well, I suppose that as soon as you start going out with someone, you are hoping for some kind of relationship.

Going out with friends can be equally risky. If things don't work out, it can kill (or seriously wound) the friendship. So, I guess it's important to be cautious either way.
