Domain Stuff: December 2005 Archives

Hi *waves*. So I’ve decided to cut off some rotting limbs concerning the site. Ghost Hack has lost its approval and there is nothing I can do about that, so I’m shutting it down. I could run it without it being approved, but there is resentment there, so I might as well cut ties. I haven’t had much interest in Believe in Beauty for quite a while, so that one is getting cut too. And although I still love the song “Don’t Let Me Be the Last to Know,” I don’t feel comfortable being connected to anything Britney Spears considering she’s turned into a white-trash whore with an impossibly stupid (and equally white-trash) “husband” (If you can call him that), so that one is to the curb as well.

I need to break down and code the new layout for Warrior of Darkness and believe it or not, I’ve decided to apply for a few anime fanlistings again, three to be exact. I may get them, I may not, but I think I have a pretty good chance. Once I secure them, I’ll go into more detail.

You’d think that after all that happened with Ghost Hack I’d decide to boycott The Anime Fanlistings all together, but that would be childish. I obviously was not meant to run that fanlisting any longer, so I’m over it. It sucks, but I’m over it. Now it’s someone else’s turn.

I have two Christmas parties this week that I have to go to. One is for our office only (and a guest) and the other is with our Partner Company, Interactive Ideas. I don’t want to go to either, but what the hell. Its office politics and free food/drink at its best, so I can’t complain too much. We have to do this white elephant type gift exchange with a cap of 20 bucks spent on the gift. I’m going to buy a $20 gift card from Starbucks. I can just see these java junkies vying for that nice little lump of flesh. I hate Starbucks so I have absolutely no use for the thing, I’m happy to give it away and it will be fun watching them steal from each other to try and get it. Muhahahahaha!

Other than that, things are pretty low-key. I organized and spring cleaned my mp3s over the weekend. I got rid of a bunch of stuff I couldn’t believe I freakin’ downloaded in the first place. I ripped some songs from CDs that I really wanted on my computer (much easier to listen that way) and pretty much organized my I-tunes to death. I also fixed the corrupted coppermine database at M-C.Com, which had apparently been corrupted for weeks and I had no idea. I’m so neglecting Mattie right now. By the way, should I open a Gerry fansite? I worship him, but there are so many out there already.

Alrighty, peace, love and blessed it be.

Hi *waves*. I’m wearing yellow underwear today. Isn’t that a hell of a way to start of an entry, but it’s true. They came in my Hanes variety pack and since I was wearing a yellow blouse today, I thought I’d color coordinate.

Believe it or not, I’ve actually been brain storming about my domain sections. I think I have a pretty good outline of stuff to add to each section that would be pretty interesting. The only problem I have is setting aside the time and prioritizing my other projects properly.

Don’t laugh. I do have other projects like Warrior of Darkness and Ghost in the shell. I don’t know if I should even spend the time on The Ghost in the Shell fanlisting now. I’ve been running the damned thing for two fucking years now and come to find out that my fanlisting is no longer approved because TheFanlisitngs.Org branched off into The Anime Fanlistings. Umm… no one told me this, so I find out months and months later. But I’m like, whatever, no big deal. I’ll just add their link to my page. But something in the back of my mind told me to check and make sure Ghost Hack was listed. Because honestly, if they are not even going to tell you that a new branch has been created at the fanlistings, why would they honor any of the fanlistings approved before they “branched off” in the first place. And guess what, some other Ghost in the Shell fanlisting was listed as approved. Now, I’m not angry at the owner of that fanlisting. That would be stupid, but I’ve been running the original approved listing for two freakin’ years and I’m sorry, but I feel like I was fucked over a little bit. It’s like the years I put into that thing and the 300+ member’s database I have maintained is irrelevant now. Like all my hard work was snubbed and my fanlisting was stolen away from me. It may sound stupid to a lot of you, but this has been irritating me for a while. I’m thinking about e-mailing all my members, telling them to join with the real GITS fanlisting and shutting Ghost Hack down. I really love that anime too. It’s my favorite and I was so freaking stoked when I was approved. This just sucks.

Anyway, I keep having dreams about Gerard Butler. Very strange… very strange indeed.
