'nother update today, just finished reworking the page yet again. I found that my original Flash intro was rather bland and I honestly found it to look...well....rather poor. So I decided I should replace it and since a single image is much easier to load I figured I should probably do an image instead, especially since it'd take less time than that blasted flash intro...4 hours to make it, and half that time was making another one before it and not liking it, thereby making the newer one that has now been removed. Well I made one picture and it kinda worked, but I found that it was a bit bland as well, and I especially didn't like the way the picture meshed with the white around it. I wanted to make a new one anyway and set out on such a quest, of sorts, and decided that my picture had to be sufficently space oriented, which the new picture is i'd like to add. The biggest problem I faced was making a space image have a white backdrop so that it'd go along with my white background. Well I like the color black to be perfectly honest and after careful, and tedious work, I turned the whole page, including sub-pages, black so that I could add such an image. Well I also then had to change the buttons, but I was fortunate enough to still have the same color settings for the front image and used those settings for the rollovers for the buttons, and I think they probably look better now than they did before. Simple invert to all the pictures, add a simple color change to the rollovers and the buttons were done. I then had to work on adding in a photo gallery with thumbnails as per this wonderful assignment, and in my opinion the biggest hinderance of my creativity...but I work with it. I had already made a "Wallpapers" section and it was clearly the easiest thing I could use for my "photo gallery". A few minutes later the pictures were set and several minutes later due to aggrivation at the blasted layers and layers in layers and fun like that I finished my little photogallery, I invite you to check it out, I'm probably going to be working on adding some more wallpapers to it in the very near future (Gallery). Just recently my internet connection has been turning itself off at odd and random times, but consistently so I suppose you have to give it some credit. Can't really figure out what the problem is, I installed Norton, found a couple trojans, no big deal. I think they were the cause of my recent homepage redirction problem, my homepage kept changing back to some stupid search page, clearly intent on getting webtraffic. homepage.com - Hate it! anyways. So that problem was fixed after I removed the trojans, which I find odd as a trojan shouldn't be changing my startpage, that's not what they typically do, so I'm still a bit curious. I figure I could try formating again, second time this month if I do, and chances are that's what I'll end up doing, which isnt bad with Win 2k, installs pretty quickly, a LOT faster than XP ever did. The weirdest part about this little connection problem I'm having is that all I have to do to reconnect for about 10 minutes is release my IP and renew it....kinda got me baffled. I'd also like to say hi to... (checks his email again) Mizu Takuhana as they are my very first fan. One by one I shall gain a fan base and then it's off to RULE THE WORLD!!! ok, well, maybe just my kitchen...start small....

Well I thought i'd add something and with the ne knowledge of TheMatrixOnline
i figured i should share. MxO as it is commonly referred to is going to
be a new massive-multiplayer online game, an RPG/Action game of sorts from
my first look into it. You can have a choice between 3 classes, spy, hacker,
and soldier, mixing and matching as you wish between the skills of the two.
I can say with absolute honesty that not only does the game appear to look
REALLY REALLY cool but it also appears to have REALLY REALLY cool player
models, which is very refreshing from something like Star Wars Galaxies
where not only did the humans look like doofuses but every other ingame
race did too, which is ok for them, they were aliens. Regardless, it is
fair to say while building a human or even humanoid character, they just
didnt look very cool, they lacked some sort of style element, such as not
looking like an idiot with a terible haircut. MxO appears to fix this by
making really cool looking characters. Now im not gay by any means but i
can say in a completely objective and "i wish i could look like that" that a few of the male characters look good, really good, so good that if
I WERE gay i'd totally be giving them my number. They just look badass,
they look as though they could charm any chick, kill a mess of crap, and
all the while looking really good doing it. But as per the whole concept
of the Matrix the characters SHOULD look good and im glad that such rules
of the matrix apply, they make the characters look good regardless, it's
kinda like a rule someone added so people dont look like doofuses and it
worked all the way through to the game, it makes me happy.

Updated the webpage with the new design. It rained outside my house, which
was nice, and I listened to the song "Mad World" from the movie
"Donnie Darko", which is a really cool movie I might add, a bit
trippy, but good and confusing...
*note - make article about old people, guaranteed laughter and fun!!!
Many addition, improvement and changes to the website today, check out the
wallpapers section :)
