Doot doot... | Well, as you can see, I've re-worked my page just a bit. I'm going to have to wait a couple of weeks to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, because I'm wanting to see it with the entire family. And they won't all be available until then. So until then I'm going to have to satisfy myself with the soundtrack and various other things. A big thanks to Annie for sending most of it to me last night - it's gorgeous. I love it!
A couple of days ago I also finally finished an Electroplankton article that I'd been working on for N-Sider. If you go over there, you'll notice it immediately. Surprisingly, that animated icon took a while to get right - I wanted to save it with maximum detail, but in a GIF that's tough to do while simultaneously having lots of frames. I think it came out okay though. The actual article was a lot of fun to write and I'm hoping that people will enjoy it.
The myOtaku backroom is coming along nicely too. I recently showed an updated version to Adam and he seemed to be happy with it, so I'm confident about that. All of that work should wrap up pretty soon, as I don't have much left to go. Soon it'll be full-on construction and I'll be fixing little bits and pieces here and there.
By the way, do you think this background should be chocolate brown or black? I couldn't decide. I like the chocolatey look, but I really couldn't choose a final colour.
Annie-kun: I'm glad you like it! But don't worry, customizing your page won't affect much, as my design only relates to backend stuff. The front end will remain largely the same, but with a few key differences.
Shinmaru: I know exactly what you mean; it's amazing how different your voice can sound when you hear what others hear. It's kind of scary.
Baronness: Nothing like a bit of a leak now and then. ~_^
Chab: Don't worry, my dear. You'll find that the way she is used on the final design is quite tasteful. Although don't forget, I've exploited both men and women on my page before, so I'm an equal-opportunity exploiter.
As for connection speed, do not worry. The site will be more image-heavy but I doubt that it will be any slower in general.
SPX: Where was the red in my last layout? ~_^ But yeah, thank you!
Neil: I think you may be surprised at how cheap Premium will be. I'm not sure if I can say anything about price at this moment, but I do know that it'll cost you less than a movie rental. ~_^
I use Paint Shop Pro 8. I had 9, but for some ungodly reason, the ninth version has a very weird anti-aliasing system that is horrible. Yuck.
As for a date, I don't have one. All I can say is "soon".
Bio: As I mentioned to Neil, it won't be at all expensive. I do feel that people will generally be very pleased with the cost, especially considering all the stuff we'll be throwing in now and further down the line.
And don't worry, we are working at a good pace but I'm very against rushing things. I want to hit the mark the first time.
snow fox: Thank you so much for the kind words, I really appreciate it. I am glad that people do enjoy my little design quirks here and there. ~_^
ShadowFaint Zero: Do you mean you don't see the pros for us? Or for you?
The pros for us are pretty obvious I guess - for all our hard work, we'd finally be able to earn some kind of wage from this venture of ours. But more than that, the extra money could be directly invested back into the site. This means that we could dramatically improve network-wide services for all visitors.
Right now we outsource some things to companies, but with more money we will be able to more frequently have experts come in and fix things or add things for us. Should be good for everyone.
elfy: Aw, if only he knew you were using that nickname for him. ~_^
Doc G: Haha, thank you. Again, I appreciate the kind words. It will be worth the wait!
