![]() Sunday, December 31st Happy New Years It's New Years Eve and we're welcoming the year of 2001. Have a safe New Years everyone. And to the Drunken Soldiers clan on SoF.....don't get too drunk now. Thumbnails I'm in the process of making the thumbnail pages for the image sections. I'll have them uploaded when I get back home from Houston. Thumbnails will probably be added after the 4th of January. Thursday, December 28th News Placement Moved the link to the previous news on the side bar, under the Cotillion graphic. Make the site a little bit more organized. I was also thinking of doing a whole newlay out for the site when I have enough time to do so. I just don't know when I'll do it. Links I've added a few links and have removed a few links in the links section. The links that I added were top of the line websites, meaning they caught my interest and were well thought out. Links that have been removed, I've lost interest in visiting. Probably since they hardly ever update anymore. Not a big loss, for me anyways. I'll probably add more links when I have the time to do so. Keep checking back. Layout After looking in an HTML book, I've discovered how to add borders and the such to my page. After experimenting a little bit, I found a style that I liked. I've added table borders to the side navigation to every page and around the disclaimer on the bottom of the main page. I've also moved the Linux graphic into a the small button box (however you wanna call it) in the side bar. This is one of the few updates that will appear on the page at the moment. Please keep checking back for any news updates or site updates that might appear during the rest of the week. I'm Alive I've successfully reformated my computer and all the glitches that were in it have disappeared. Unfortunately, reformatting your computer means that you lose all your files and all the programs that were installed onto the hardrive. Thank god we backed the important stuff up. Anways, I'm currently running updates on software for my computer. I'll probably be doing so for the rest of the time that I'm here in Houston with my family. I'm busy updating my computer tonight and probably tomorrow night. I'll see if I can squeeze in a little bit of updating on Friday. Saturday, I'm going to a wedding. My uncle is getting married. I'll probably update on Sunday, if I have time. I do have a lot of homework to do over the break, God knows why teachers assign us damn research papers to type. Sunday, December 24th MSGD Airing Time Mobile Suit Gundam will are in March 2001, the same time as Gundam Wing first appeared on the Toonami block. Happy Holidays It's Christmas Eve and I'm spending it with my family here in Houston. I'm enjoying myself at the moment. This will probably be one of the few posts that I put on the site, since my computer is in the process of being reformated and a new operating system is being installed (Linux and Windows 2K Pro). Just thought that I'd say that I'm still here and I'll try to update as soon as possible. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone. Wednesday, December 20th Awards Added more awards in the awards section. Check em out. I won them for taking a quiz. I didn't have time to take the last two, they should be in there by tomorrow. Modifications Completed I've finished updating the Endless Waltz episode summaries. Over the Christmas break, I'll be making thumbnails an addition to the image gallaries. All the image gallaries will have an option of viewing a list of images or seeing thumbnails. The thumbnails will actually take awhile but they should be up by January. Update Added some links and a whole new look to the links section of the Cotillion. I've also changed the color scheme of the site, the green links didn't do it for me anymore. I'm still waiting more links to be sent to me at the moment. At this moment, I'm also changing the Endless Waltz summaries to make them similar to the Gundam Wing summary. I'll be done with them in about an hour or so. Monday, December 18th BPA Rank and Mecha Guide Update First off, I'd like to say that our BPA project kicked ass. Our two Heights High School website teams took first place and fifth place. My team taking first place. I'm actually rather proud of the work that I've done and all the HTML coding and CSS that I learned along the way. Since we took first in our regionals competition, looks like we're heading off for the state competition, which is in February. Ask for my Visual BASIC competition, I ranked 12th. Damn application had stuff to do that I haven't even learned yet. Oh well, BASIC programming was only one of my back up competitions anyway. Anyways, I've added more sypnosis to the Gundam Wing Mecha Guide. I've gotten all the Gundams done and I'll be working on the mobile suits part shortly. I'll probably get done with both sections by next year, since sitting down and typing up opinions and descriptions about each mobile suit is rather time consuming. Also, for those that have come across good websites or would like to submit your Gundam/Anime website, then e-mail me the link. I need to make an update to the links section soon. That thing is getting rather old looking. So send me the link and the title of the page, I'll make a massive link update once I get enough of them. The Holiday Season The Holiday season is approaching us at a rapid rate. All around the country, little boys and girls are wondering if their parents have gotten a gift from their wish list. Little kids are sitting around the tree as we speak right now and are shaking Christmas presents, trying to guess the contents of the inside. And on Christmas day, when they open their presents and find gifts of toys (rather then clothes), their eyes will widen to the fact that they got what they wanted. *sigh* The Christmas season is always the best of the year. Well enough with my bickering, I'll be gone the whole Christmas break, so I might not even update at all. I'll be flying to Houston to visit my sister and brother-in-law on Friday morning. I'll see if I can update within my holiday season. However, don't be expecting an update on the site. Before I leave and pack up my computer, I'll put a post on the website, explaining when I'll be back and what I plan to do when I return. Friday, December 15th Return of Endless Waltz I've been home from my BPA competition for about an hour now. Our presentation went quite well despite the fact that all four of us bull shitted the whole presentation. I wish I could say the same about my Visual Basic test, I just completely bombed that test. Oh well, I'm back now and have news for everyone. After looking over Cartoon Network's website, I came across a little note that they'll be airing Endless Waltz again on December 22nd for those who missed it in November. Looks like they want Gundam Wing to end with an airing of Endless Waltz. I guess the people at Cartoon Network aren't as cold-hearted as many of us may think. Thursday, December 14th Farewell to Gundam Wing Looks like Cartoon Network has decided to take Gundam Wing off the Toonami block. Personally, this upsets me since they only aired Endless Waltz once. But if Cartoon Network decides to take Gundam Wing off the block then they must have a good reason for it. However, the original Gundam series will air next year. The original Gundam series has 43 episodes and will probably air in the beginning of March. This will be the 2nd of the Gundam series to be aired. Hopefully, Cartoon Network will air Gundam X, since Gundam X is one of my favorite Gundam series, next to Gundam Wing. Yet Another Delay After another long absence, I'm able to update once again. I've added more sypnosis to the Mecha Guides so check them out. Also, check out our BPA, Business Professionals of America, website design here: http://bpa.sarem.net Just browse around and tell us what you think about the site. Remember when asking a question, remember to email the correct person when asking a question. Another note, I'll be adding thumbnails to the image galleries soon. Still debating over how many thumbnails I should put on each page, since I have so many images. Right now, I'm thinking about putting 10 images per page. Possibly 15, but you 56K users may be mad about the loading time on those images. I'll probably end up making a section for wallpapers so they won't take forever to load up in the gallaries. Probably no more updating for tonight, but who knows, just keep checking back. Tuesday, December 5th Big Update After a long silence and no activity, I've been updating silently. First off, I've learned more CSS (Cascading Script Styles) and have added an underline text link on all of my links to the page. Also, I've updated the Gundam Wing story section. Now instead of the whole thing being white, I've just added it so it appears like a normal page on the site. I'll be doing so to the Endless Waltz summaries as well. Another update is the addition of my sypnoisis for a few more Gundams and Mobile suits in the Gundam Wing Mecha Guide. I'll update more stuff tomorrow if I have time. I'll probably update a little bit more tonight as well. The next sections to be updated are the Links and Endless Waltz Mecha Guide. Another note, I'll be adding thumbnails to all the image galleries, but I probably won't do so until I'm on Christmas break, since doing thumbnails is a rather long process of HTML coding. Monday, November 27th Back From the Long Yet Short Break Well I'm back, just to notify everyone that I'm not dead. I'd have to say that my Thanksgiving was rather interesting, but still, watching a few people talk to Ralph isn't all that great. :-) Aside from all the eating and the such, I was able to get out and spend time with some of my friends. Not Krystle though :-( There was a short server downtime and many of you were not able to reach the site. However, the server is back up now and everything should be running smoothly. Anyways, I won't have much time to update, due to the oncoming holiday seasons, my huge website project that is due December 1st, and the addition of my weekend job. However, aside from all that, I'll update the site as soon as I have time to do so. As of the moment, I'm working on the Gundam Wing and Endless Waltz Mecha guides. Afterwards, I'll begin the process of encoding movie clips from Gundam Wing and Endless Waltz. The movie clips probably won't be up until after Christmas or the New Year. Until then, enjoy what I have for you already on the site. Tuesday, November 21st Last Update for the Night I've added my opinions to the Sandrock, Deathscythe, Deathscythe Hell, and the Wing Gundam in the Gundam Wing Mecha Guide. This will be the last update to my site for tonight. Probably no updating tomorrow, since it's Thanksgiving. More of a Personal Note On a more of a personal note: Krystle, I miss you and I hope you're having a great time in Dallas. Come back soon. ZERO System Added and Mecha Section Updated I've added a new subsection to the Gundam Wing Mecha section. It's called ZERO System Origin and explains the origin of the ZERO System and how dangerous the Wing Gundam Zero is. I've also started adding my opinions about each mobile suit and Gundam, but the only ones that I'm done with right now are the Shen-Long, Alto-Long, and Heavy Arms. I'll make more once time permits itself. FAQ and Links The FAQ section has been updated, along with the Links section. Look for more updates to come. More Updates on the Way Well, since I have the rest of the week off from school, I'll have more time to update but not as much as I'd like to. First off, my brother-in-law and sister are coming into town for the holidays and I still have that school project that needs to be done. I am glad to say that I've already updated a few things here and there. The navigation bar to the right has gone throught a slight make over. The underline has been removed from all links on the entire site. Also, the contact page has been updated from what it used to be. Look for updates to the Gundam Wing Mecha and Endless Waltz Mecha sections. I'll be adding a person opinion to each mobile suit and an explanation to how the Zero System works. Thanks goes to Jim English for suggesting that I do this. Monday, November 20th Updates I've updated the upgrade section. I can say that it has gone through a huge makover and everything is explained according to an episode list. Take a look at it. I may not update till tommorrow because of my other website project that I am currently working on at the moment. Also, the news archives are back up but I only have news from September and none from October, since that was the month that my website just completely shutdown. I'll make a section of November once I have time to do so. A movie section should be added to the site soon, probably during Christmas time or after new years, since encoding movie clips takes up a rather large amount of my time. Keep checking back for more updates to come. |
