August’s Current Projects

Anime/Manga, Geeky Things

Completely abandoning my habit of creating a separate post for each topic, this one will cover a bit of anime and a bit of what I’m up to — and what I’m not up to. Oh noes, more of my real life? Don’t worry, I promise I won’t go emo and bore you.

Fujisawa of future NWN2 server World of Aleria asked me to develop a customized, personal WP theme for the server website. This one won’t take me as long to do (in fact, I’m already almost done), because Fuji wants it accustomed to the needs of only WoA, and not as a universal theme template. Therefore, not as many universal template functions will be used, which means less work, which means more motivation to work on it, which in turn means you’ll see it on the WoA website sooner.

Or so I thought.

I disconnected from the Internet for about 5 days, so I wasn’t able to work on it as much… and only work on the static elements of the design — which are done, by the way. The only thing I need to do now is to finish integrating the Loop and add a few more template tags, then I’ll be good to go. You can view the old, static layout (that I planned on using before integrating WP) here.

Do I have any other web projects? That’s pretty much it.

Tsubasa Chronicle Season 2

… Thus far, has been very unsatisfactory to me. The anime series’ second season hasn’t been progressing as well as people would like it to go. One too many episodes are dedicated to flashbacks (the whole 24:39 minutes dedicated to flashbacks), comical fillers, and other unnecessary, but somewhat relevant stuff which halt the progression of the main plot. I’ve personally have been wanting Syaoran to see his “brother” for a long time now, but judging by episode 40’s progression (which, by the way, is a perfect example of the above), it doesn’t seem very likely.

I’ll still continue watching it, as I do with all series. Finish what you’ve started. But I have my doubts on how well the second season will finish compared to the first season. We’ll just have to see…

Why does it load so much faster on your site than on WoA’s? I can refresh the background image much more quickly here.

Probably because the one on this site is a static page with pure HTML. The one on WoA’s website is the finished WP theme, which has lots of PHP tags and does some database queries before the actual HTML is outputted, so no surprise if there’s a difference between my static design and the finished product.
