Crystalline Green | Well, I'm glad that's over.
I haven't been online at all for the last week or so. It looks like the sinus infection I had last weekend was just a warning of things to come. Much worse things.
Without going into too much detail, I'll just say that it involved not eating (and hardly being able to stomach water) for about six days, losing plenty of weight as a result and so on. Yuck. Don't think I've ever had a virus that nasty before.
Anyway, I'm now back. And I'm here to respond to your responses. ~_^
Alan: Obviously it's still too early to confirm a lot of things (which is probably why Adam isn't in a position to announce things to you personally), but I do expect us to have an export option for the next version.
You'll never have to get your hands grubby on myOtaku ever again! Yay!
Maggie: You didn't see the piercing when we...? I think you just need to be more observant. ~_^
snow fox: Thank you for voicing your support, I appreciate it very much. ^_^
Zid: I thought you'd think so. After all this time, you finally saw her. Haha ~_^
Otakusennen: I think you'll be in luck, my boy.
John: I'm glad you enjoy the posts. By the way, who is that in your profile picture?
Shinmaru: Yeah...I think that's why I'm the odd one out a bit. I don't look exactly like either of my parents, I'm just a strange kind of mix. Oh well.
Oddly enough, my dad's hair was bleach-blonde when he was a child...then it went black and then grey. I suspect that I have only a few years left before my hair starts to go the same way.
Annie-kun: Yeah, she does need some convincing, hehe.
Art of Otaku will be great, I am now joining production on it and I will be polishing it up so that it's ready to go!
Dagger: I'll tell her you said so. ~_^
Speaking of OB Evolution, I am going to be wanting to speak to you and Deb about that on AIM. So don't forget to keep that program on. ~_^
Doc G: Thank you!
There have been pictures of me, but I tend to be pretty careful about sharing those around these days. I've had some unpleasant experiences with that. I might be able to send you one over AIM if you ask, but we'll see.
indifference: myOtaku Premium is a subscription-based service that we'll be launching in the future. It'll be like a "mega-deluxe" version of myOtaku 3.0.
As for OB, well, it's still too early to get very specific on that. However, I think you will enjoy the end result when it finally arrives.
And thanks for the compliment!
Bio: Oh it will be. It will be ridiculously cheap, I assure you.
I think you will enjoy what we are doing with myOtaku's basic service, because it will give you a lot more general styling flexibility and stuff. I've been pushing to have more specifically-changeable things and it looks like that'll happen. It will also be fantastic to dump our graphic logo and focus only on the graphics of the page's owner.
As for OB Evolution, it's very hard to be specific about something that is still mostly an idea. I mean, don't get me wrong - as we speak, I have about five full-page layouts of the new site on my computer. So it does definitely exist. But each of those layouts represents a slightly different direction - the difficulty is to narrow down the concept and bring things together in a more cohesive way.
In any case, I'm sure that it will be a surprise at the very least.
RaR: It won't be much of a bandwidth hog because it is not a web site. When you buy it, you will download the entire thing onto your computer. ^_^
The ratings thing that you mentioned is precisely something that I intend to include. I have this idea related to posting on OB, where conditions have to be met for the post to appear. That may sound a bit scary or controlling, but when you see what I have in mind, I think you will breathe a sigh of relief.
Chab: Art of Otaku will be an eBook. We will distribute it ourselves (so you will be able to download it from us).
However, it is a PDF and is therefore entirely print-ready. If you wish, you can print off a chapter at a time to take with you anywhere. That's up to you. It will be very elegant and shouldn't require too much ink.
We may offer a bound version in the future, but that probably depends on the success of the initial offering.
Baronness: Thank you. ~_^
