Tweak and Tweet Collection

Wow, it’s already August now. 2010 is running away. But I’ve made a handful of minor updates to the main pages, mostly within the menus. I tried to do something slightly bigger that would have affected everything positively, but by the time I nearly got it working properly, I noticed it doesn’t work in IE8 (it’s only CSS2!), so I just scrapped it all. I might try again when IE9 goes public.

Also, I’m ready to debut the Twitter account I’ve made for the site. Actually, it’s been around for a while, but time passed, and I didn’t get around to it until now. Much of it is auto-posted by scripts and magic (isn’t it enough that I write the RSS feeds by hand in text editors!?), but if I gain followers to converse with, then I will get a little more personal with it. If you like Twitter, feel free to follow and force me to become more social.

And in other news, I’m currently working on a very large Dragon Ball update. Unfortunately, it’s only structurally large; it will have very little new content with it. Keyword being “new,” so feel free to speculate, if it isn’t already obvious. You’ll see soon enough, either way.

April Fool’s?

The previous update could have been an April Fool’s joke, or it could have been the truth. I’m not even sure myself anymore. Anyway, I ended up not changing hosts, so there was no downtime after all. I also tweaked the layout a little more, but I don’t even remember how much of that is noticeable or had already been online. I guess it doesn’t really matter. There are things about it I’d like to change, but there are more things to worry about right now.

Blog posting kind of slowed down because I’d been busy with not only addictive videogames, but Dragon Ball content as well. I made a Dragon Ball-specific news feed for it, in case that’s all you’re interested in. I’ll likely do the same for other sections (in other words, Sailor Moon) the next time I update them.

All this tiny updating was not easy, because my FTP program doesn’t get along with my spazzy mouse at all.

Manga and Anime Updates, Guidebook Rearrangement

Long time no update! First of all, I’ve edited and added a lot to the manga and anime summaries, enough that both are completely up through the entire first story arc. I’ve changed my mind about a lot of translations (or lack thereof) since last time, so there’s also that.

I’ve also moved and consolidated all of the guidebook translations, so now there are less pages total, but more scrolling and more angry dialup users. In the end, I think it’s much easier for everyone, including me. But there is nothing new there, aside from one or two typos I happened to notice and correct. I haven’t even updated any of my name/term preferences to my current ones, because there are some other translation issues to fix as well, and the entire project is currently on-hold indefinitely. My motivation to finish it recently dropped a few notches, for probably obvious reasons if you view other Dragon Ball websites, but I certainly have not given up yet.

Oh, and I’ve made an RSS feed for easier tracking of updates. Hooray for modern web technology!
