- Sk: Nd is not here to say that I wrote more, so I will have that honour :3 I don't know how to colour the text or make links work yet, but at least I know what a line-break is, so here's one
To see what I wrote, go to one of previous link to Shorts, because I can't be bothered to see how to reach it from here. It took me some time to figure out how to add my text here, you can figure out how to read my text, lol
I'll wait for Nd to fix up this text I added on the homepage too
Also, this is the last day of month and the final entry on the News webpage... I don't know what else to add other than letting it be known that I'll be the first thing you see when you look on that webpage :3
Man, I didn't prepare for this occassion at all
- 2021-09-26
- I'll be unable to be around much for some time ;; in the meanwhile, I hope Sk handles it well ^^
Sk: What should I say about this?
Me: No need to say much, tbh; I'll still fix the formatting of text, but I won't be around as much, and for real this time, unlike previously ^^
Sk: Heh, I wish you well, I think
Me: Thanks man. I'm not sure when I'll be able to stay for more, but hopefully soon enough. I delayed a bunch other things with this silly website of mine because I have no knowledge of how to maintain a schedule and such... (and what it even means, lol) Everything just happens randomly ;w;
Sk: I feel ya; these days have been weird and eventless...
Me: This whole time has been weird, and honestly, I don't know what to do with this website anymore. I'm not going to close it yet because you're using it and some info can't be found elsewhere (cough, NyanPara :3 ), but I'm still thinking about moving it to some other webhoster. We'll see more in detail after I come back, I hope ^^
Sk: Ye, I'm not even thinking about going off path from what I've been shown, lol; wouldn't want you to find the website broken :3
Me: I think you're capable of doing that, you have your ways (I already know some :3 ), but please don't do so ^^
Sk: I never said I will... *pout*
Me: Oh right... then continue what you doing ^^
Sk: Will do
Me: See you later then
Sk: Same for ya
- Man, I thought they'd never leave me alone. Now I have all this website for myself :3 Time to leave it be tho, I don't have anything more to add, and I decided this text should be cyan without me saying it at beginning. Maybe that's how the next updates will show up. I've also added some entries at Shorts, so go check 'em out if you'd like. Anyway, I hope you enjoy your time here ^^
If Nd doesn't wanna continue working on the guides, then I'll do it. They'll see how it's done
Also, change your name from Me to Nd, because that's what you should be called in these anyway
This was from Sk, now going awayyy~~
- 2021-09-22 (2)
- Me: Man, you wrote a bunch at Shorts :3 I think I'll have to make your own webpages for these at some point
Sk: I wouldn't mind it, please do if you'd like
Me: Oh boi, the kindness again ;w; It's because I let you write things by yourself, isn't it?
Sk: Yes :3 It's much better now that my words can be read by others too, and I enjoy that I can write whatever
Me: Sounds good :3
(that's because it is)
I'll continue to let you write things while I fix the text to show properly
Sk: But please go and do some things that you had to get done ages ago...
Me: Ye, I'll have to get 'round and do them at some point... But lack of time isn't helping ;;
Sk: You may have more time now that you let me handle this stuff, right?
Me: Not really, it's still not enough...
Sk: Heh, then I hope you can fit more things into that limited time of yours, however messy you manage to do it
Me: Not sure how that'd be helpful, but thanks anyway ^^
Sk: It likely won't be, so think before you do :3
Me: Yep, thought so; we'll see ^^
Sk: As always, never sure, lol
Me: Indeed :3
- 2021-09-22
- So, I think this is the last update from me for some time. I'll still do things on the behind scenes, so if Sk writes things on webpages, things won't break or look wrong ;w;
Me: Take care ^^
Sk: Alright, go, see you' round
Me: I'm not really going tho, I won't say as much as I did before...
Sk: Ye, whatever then, lemme talk too :3
Me: Don't worry, you will
Sk: Good to know
- 2021-09-21 (2)
- Sk: Oh boi, it's almost the 4th quarter of the year. I hope you have something prepared for it (cough, drawing or something like that)
Me: Afraid not, we'll have to do with nothingness or not much interesting...
Sk: So, my writings are not interesting? Alright then, I'll take my leave
Me: No man, you're putting words in my mouth now; I didn't even say that, lol
Sk: But you said not much interesting
Me: Ye, but I wasn't refering to your writings. You do well, I don't ;w;
Sk: Don't be so hard on yourself, lol, it's because of you that I managed to write that stuff in the first place
Me: Wait a bit, I helped? You don't mean it serious, do you?
Sk: I do. You helped out :3
Me: See, I'm still not used to your kindness ;w; Thanks tho
Sk: Anyway, I hope you can still be around to fix my text once there is need for it
Me: Will be sure to
Sk: And go prepare something for the last update of this quarter, lol
Me: That... can't be sure to ;w;
Sk: As is to be expected, never changed...
Me: And never will :3 (hopefully it does change...)
- 2021-09-21
- Sk has added some of their thoughts at Shorts
I think I had to change around some things besides adding borders at the News webpage, but I can't find the list with things to do, and I don't really feel that well...
Feel better soon to me ;w;
Sk: That's what I wanted to say too
Me: Ohh, thanks ^^ May you take my place while I won't be around?
Sk: I have written that thing at Shorts, I think I can handle it for now
Me: Well, not really, I had to fix the text to appear properly, but alright, be sure not to break things
Sk: lol, alright, we'll see
Me: Let's hope the website won't be inexistant by the time I come back...
Sk: Don't worry man, I won't do like you did when you first started the website, lol
Me: And I don't wanna see that happen again ;w;
- 2021-09-20
- Looks like we'll get nothing new for some time, I'm sorry in advance ;;
Other than that, I'll have you know that I may add some websites in the Links section, so be on the lookout for that ^^
One of these days I'll try to get Sk to write some of their things if they'd like to. Now they don't know what to say yet...
In the meantime, have a look at what I got workin'
Have fun and please wait patiently ^^
Sk: When are you getting done with the drawing? I'm getting a bit impatient, lol
Me: Soon enough, don't worry about it ^^
Sk: Alright then
- 2021-09-18
- I've seen some images of the Windows file explorer and the way items were put together made me wonder if I can recreate it, and so I did. This is the 4th time I did this so far btw, the previous attempts that I did a long time ago... aren't really that good tbh, but it's something. I have to admit I used a bit of a base from a previous attempt that wasn't listed there, but nothing significant, mostly the border from the first box. Other than that, I made use of this occassion to write mostly random stuff as the filler text, and I missed doing that ;w; I'll do it again once I make another test webpage to use as base for when I write something for Archive.
- And also, I've done a way to click on an image that replaces it with a video. This may or may not be used for if I put videos in my webpages. However, there's around 3 different ways for what happens once you click (that I didn't include yet), I chose to replace the image with the video, but there's also opening a window like what I've done for when I included images in some Archive webpages, and another would be to open a tab with the video page. Please tell me which one works better for you, and I'll find a way to make a webpage where you have the options to choice :3
If you know me for long enough, you'll have known I tried to do something like this before, but it was a silly attempt at trying to get it done. This one is much better than whatever I did back then ^^
- I'll have to remember to include a way to let you select from some themes too, and another to make the webpage as wide as your screen is, because I'm pretty sure some of you enjoy seeing rows of tiny text running across your 1080p (or even 4K) screens, don't you; I've seen a few special ones who do that (and there's also the weirdos who have 4K screens, but use zoom in text a lot... Just choose a smaller resolution if you're not gonna make use of the 4K screen, you dumbos! (Ye, you tell 'em)). I tried to replicate that with a 720p screen (by copying some text I wrote from my webpages onto a Notepad and removing the linebreaks and then making the text smaller), but I don't really find that pleasing to read, and I did often lose where I was left to read, but enough of my experience; fortunately for you, you'll soon have the choice to go through what I did too :3
- Sk: Look what they been doing instead of writing about the games or the drawings...
Me: Don't worry man, I've not forgotten about it, but my boredom and the things I was supposed to do are 2 different things, and one of them doesn't take as much effort to do as the other does, please understand that ;w;
Sk: Yea, sure, I'll understand it once you're done with my drawing :3
Me: Ohh, so you will; looks like we're getting somewhere
Sk: Not where you may think of, I don't know what you're talking about
Me: Me neither...
Sk: This kind of conversation should've been in one of your random experiment webpages instead of here, lol
Me: Yea, you're right on that, maybe I should've waited until then, but then you'd be busy or something, so then I can just copypaste this instead :3
Sk: Ye, who knows
- Also, can I please have some more free time? I miss the people I used to talk to ;;;;
- To end on a good note, I like that I no longer have to cut text for the home page and link to the News webpage to read it in full. Now I just put it all there and don't bother ^^
- 2021-09-14
- I've added borders to the links webpage too, so now it also looks better, like most other webpages here :3
Me: The previous update wasn't the last one (and hopefully this one won't be either)
Sk: Heh, better luck another time *shrug*
- 2021-09-13 (2)
- It seems I missed some formatting, so the colours got messed up ;w; Because I edit the files in a text editor without being able to see what I do, and I don't double-check my changes with a web browser, I don't notice these things every time...
Sk: Watch this update where they admit their mistakes be the last one for a while
Me: Shhhhhh
Sk: lol; also, don't do that colour mistake again, trying to read my text with your unnecessary and non-distinguished additional conversation was confusing...
Me: I'll try not to do this again ;w;
- 2021-09-13
- Me: Sk found annoyances in some of the littlest things... and I love it :3 gg man, keep 'em comin'
Sk: Whatever I can do so this place is not void of any activity and text (Well said), speaking of which, when are you getting started again on that guide you were working on?
Me: I don't know exactly, days' been busy, but I'll try to find some time. Another day I'll have to play 'em again and do some screenshots too... Can't wait for it because I wanted to do this for a while (cough 2 years or more), but at the same time, it's something that has to be done, so *shrug*
Sk: Ye, I guess so, good luck with it, and I hope things get better for ya
Me: Thanks man, same with you. What's with the kindness tho? Everytime I have to ask about it because it's unusual and kinda scares me ;w;
Sk: Ohh, it's nothing much, I enjoy writing about things I find annoying and have them put somewhere so they can be read :3
Me: I feel the same way ;w;
- 2021-09-12
- I have added a little more text to Shorts, and I made it easier for me to add that kind of images with borders that you see at How to run Flash out of Web Browser (does this means we may see more images in future? (I can't say for sure (Should've expected that, lol (yea, lol)))). And it seems Sk did have some things to add after all
I finished looking through those text files with the links and I made the webpage out of them (but I'm not done with the text files yet, no-no-no, that never ends ;w; ), but I have to clean it up before I make it available, which may take some time
More to come once I get around them ^^ and I'm sorry for not being around, it seems my free time has decreased substantially lately ;; I may have even less time than I do now, but I'm not looking forward to that
- 2021-09-06
- It's been some time, but I'm almost done with that
Me: In the meantime, didn't Sk want to add something to this
Sk: Not yet at least. I had something to write, but I forgot, lol; I'll see if I can remember
Me: Alright then; same with me lol
- 2021-09-02
- It looks like the following next days and more are going to be empty from me...
Because this time I'm actually going to work on the guide... (nah, jk, I'm looking through those old text files, instead of that I'm supposed to be doing)
I'll see if Sk wants to take my place while I'm 'gone' ^^
Sk: Nah, I'm fine for now
Me: Alright then, maybe another day ^^
- Also, I made the News webpage listings... things look better; check 'em out ^^
- Also also, I added some screenshots to that How to run Flash webpage, so now you have something to check out while I'm not around ^^
- 2021-08~
- 2021-08-31
- No longer need about the Nyan Para background music, I found something that was pointed out to me by the lovely fellow, Sk; apparently I didn't notice it previously ;w;
Sk: It's not my problem you're blind, lol
Me: Heh, I'm not blind, but sometimes I don't see things
Sk: So, you are blind (but only sometimes)
Me: Yes
Sk: Also, you can remove the entry from that webpage you've done
Me: Oh right; I'll add the one from Ukagaka there instead
Sk: When?
Me: When I'll get around it, y'know
Sk: Of course
- (2021-08-29)
- I wrote about How to play Flash out of Web Browser, and added a little part of walkthrough of the first... forest(?) for Nyan Para, or what I can remember of it. I'll correct the wrong information at a later time, until then I wanted my transcriptions to have something inbetween, because they're also part of the game, y'know (or the game is part of the transcriptions; I don't know anymore). At this point, it's incomplete, but I have set it up for the future
- And... I've been unable to find the background music for Nyan Para, and I looked everywhere I could for the past few months... With that said, if you happen to know what I'm talking about, I have to ask you to provide me with directions to where to get ahold of it, very please ;w;
- I have included the previous bit of text onto the homepage at Things I'm looking for. Hopefully my requests will be fulfilled ;w;
- 2021-08-28
- I have gone through old text files that contained URLs from a long time ago (is 2 years ago a long time?), and because they go to some old websites, I'll make the list available in a table-like fashion, like in the old days :3
And I have also went through a bunch of old files from Web Tests and I hope it didn't break any links around here, lol. Not really a problem because I almost never linked to anything from there anyway. The reason why I did this is because I'm preparing to move, and those old files are not really needed; so I won't take them with me where I'm going.
This time, I think I'm not going to wait to move until after I switch the page from the News webpage, but we'll see
Other than that, I'm still inactive, sorry about it... And no draws or anything lately, because I never have time ;w;
- Oh right, Sk said Hi, and that they don't really have much to add to here yet; so maybe later ^^
- 2021-08-23 (2)
- And I'm sorry if I become inactive... pretty much everywhere, on the course of the following next days; there are some old files that need to be taken care of, and I don't really know when else I have time for them; and you know I can't do multiple things at once and such ;w;
- 2021-08-23
- Some webpages have been updated with more text, and some comments from Sk :3
I've included a little Update text and the date besides them in the Archive webpage, so I don't have to link every one of them from here. Less work for me :3 (still some work to write the dates besides the updated webpages, but at least I don't have to link them again here too)
Sk: Ye, so I added comments to some webpages
Me: ...That's what I already said
Sk: I wanted to say it too, lol
Me: Ohhh, alright then ^^
Sk: Also, it's not quite right, because I wasn't the one who added my comments to the webpages and coloured them, you did it; but again, I sure hope you didn't alter them in any way
Me: Don't worry, no changing was needed this time either
Sk: Good to know it
- Also, still no guide for game which you're most likely looking forward too, but don't worry, I'll try to continue ^^
Sk: And still nothing else you've been planning on doing, such as that silly drawing and others...
Me: I'll try to get to them, but at how little time I had these days, I wasn't able to do much ;; I mostly added the text to those webpages because you wanted that, and it's easier than making the guide of a game
Sk: I get that, but I still wait for you to continue it, lol
Me: I hope you won't have to wait too long for it ^^
Sk: Ye, me too, so get on it :3
Me: Not now tho, we'll see when I can do it ^^
Sk: Alright then, whatever
- 2021-08-20
- I didn't add borders to the News webpages yet, but I did add some lines and headers for beginning (or end?) of months instead. Please tell me how it looks ^^
The layout is inspired from a non-English old website that I linked at the News webpage. Take a look if you'd like
It's this one
- At some point, I'll add a bunch more links to some webpages, so you can see them too. I've wanted to do this for a long time ;w;
- 2021-08-19 (3)
- Sk (or me or whoever said it) was right, maybe I need to go back to the dumb phone keyboard. Since I've not been on it for quite some time, I didn't write any new webpage, and I miss doing that ;w; I also still need some better hardware, but I won't bore you this time ^^
Sk: Told ya :3
Me: You did; also, you get to say this first ;w; I've been waiting to say that to someone too
Sk: You'll have your chance, but for the reason it takes for someone to be told that from you... I don't hope they don't get to hear it, lol
Me: Me neither, tbh, I don't wish that thing to happen to anyone
For anyone wondering, some time I did a write-up, and included some kinds of advices and such, and that if someone doesn't take them and tells me about it, I'll tell them something like 'Told ya'. However, I don't wanna tell them that, neither do I want them to do anything stupid like whatever I detailed on that write up.
If you still don't understand, don't worry about it
- Also, I finally uploaded those 2 webpages from Sk
Or whatever they did with them
Anyway, if you wanna read the mess that I didn't really wanna share,
but I don't really care about it, you may do so
here and
here.
Enjoy I guess?
- 2021-08-19 (2)
- Alright, I added borders to the Archive webpage, and man, it does look better :3
Now I have to draw its background sometime. I may draw backgrounds for almost all webpages, but currently I don't see myself doing that, lol
- I added borders to more webpages... and I had to deal with colours again... you know, that means I actually tried my best ;w;
So, please take a look if you'd like ^^
- Man, Sk (or me, or whoever said it) was right, maybe I need to go back to that dumb phone and write some things again. Since I don't use it anymore for some days, I've not written anything, and I miss it ;w;
- 2021-08-19
- Hmm, I don't know for sure if it works outside of the browser, but I think I got an example of RSS working on here. It shows properly when I tested it on Firefox-based browser, but it may not show up if at all on Chromium or newer browsers.
But I don't really care if it doesn't work in browser, lol, more importantly is if it works outside of browser, especially in those fancy RSS clients that I'd like to learn how to use ;w;
- There was no need to run a local web server yet, but I'll see how to do that when I wanna test the RSS in the clients. Will take some time, as usual
Also, I'm sorry for no updates in the past days...
- The little RSS icon now shows up besides the address bar for me :3 But the problem again is that I don't know if it works outside the browser... Heh, we'll see, at least I got that part workin' for now
- (2021-08-18)
- Well then, I'm stuck... I don't know for sure what needs to be done before I can continue ;w;
If you don't know, I can't do multiple things at once that well. If I try, then I leave things behind and forget about them. That's why there was no updates for the past few days.
From what I can see, I wanted to move the website somewhere else; but isn't the preparing part done already? I don't think there are any more files that need to be fixed.
It seems all that's left is to get going with uploading the website there then.
Is this what's keeping me back? We'll see ^^
Sk: I was wondering why it was empty here these days... I couldn't think of much to say about it (even if I could, I wouldn't be able to add it here because I don't know how, lol)
Me: Ye, I decided to take a break, even though you told me not to... This reminds me, if you tell me to do something, I'm less likely to do it, and sometimes the opposite applies too. So, please tell me to take a break again ;w;
Sk: So that's how it goes, huh. Then go and take a break, you dumbo
Me: Alright, that's what I'll do, I kinda need another one
Sk: You won't take it, will you
Me: I'll try not to, because I wanna whatever I had planned in the past days too, but as always, I can't guarantee anything :3 Not even I know if I'll do (any of) them...
Sk: Ah yes, I've come to expect this
- I also tried RSS, or at least the syntax, because it doesn't work from here... Man, I wanna move the website somewhere I can do things like this ;w; In the meantime, I wonder if I could run a local webserver so I can at least see if it works; because, for some reason, a local file doesn't work, it has to be on a webserver. I didn't try Ukagaka yet tho, but I'll make my own scripts for it or whatever they're called. I don't wanna draw for it yet, so some reusable skin will do. Until then ^^
Sk: You'll finally show me what these things mean? How much has it been since you last told me you'd do that? Years?
Me: It's been some months, yep, but you know me, I always take a lot of time to do things ;w;
Sk: Of course I do, and I don't know why I'm surprised anymore...
Me: I don't really know you either...
Sk: Good, keep it like so
I think I was more focused on fixing up some old files unrelated to the website. I'll see if I can share them once I get them done. It'll take some time ;w;
- 2021-08-15
- I think I fixed most of the old files and their redirecting. If things look wrong on some webpages, please tell me ^^
I double-checked some files to make sure nothing is broken, but you never know
- It wasn't as difficult as I thought it'd be; only some `grep`s and opening the resulting files in `micro`, and uploading them later... Maybe it seems difficult when said, but when I did these, it was easy ;w;
- 2021-08-14
- I may move this website to another URL. Don't worry, I'll tell when that happens and where it will be at. I may set this one up so that webpages redirect to the one I'm going without you noticing :3 Hopefully things won't break once I do these ^^
Where I'm going, there is no server-related things allowed, so I can't have the kind of redirection that I'm doing here because of some old files, but it doesn't matter, I don't really need it besides those
Something that I may finally be able to try out is RSS (in Ukagaka too) and the ability for my website's URLs to show embeds :3 Also, I won't have to figure out how to set up HTTPS because it'll be done for me. I'll try to show what I mean with most of these when it's the time, especially with RSS because it's such a nice technology that is not really available or shown to the user nowadays...
Sk: Wait, you're moving? Are you not afraid of the attention you'll get from the new peeps? This will also give more visibility to that old inbox of yours that's been mostly collecting dust, besides the conversations you start.
Me: I'm afraid of what's going to happen (and looking forward to it aswell), but in a way, it's something that kinda needs to be done... I never really intended for this silly website of mine and its files to be more than outside of my computer, tbh, which is why I settled with this temporary solution. The website being seen by others is a nice thing ^^ In the long run, I was going to move to another URL anyway, and one of these days might be the time for that
Sk: You have to fix the old files that point to the wrong location and such
Me: I was going to do that too, and with the lack of server-related things (that I'm not really using besides redirection), it seems that's the only thing setting me back for now ^^
Sk: Well then, why didn't you do this earlier?
Me: That's something I'd ask myself too. It's mostly because of lack of time and knowledge. But I found a way to make it easier for me to figure out which files need fixing, so this may not be as difficult as I thought
Sk: I see; well, I have no idea how these things work, I'm mostly here to make fun and such, so I have nothing else to say than hope it goes well for ya
Me: Thanks man
Sk: And I also hope you get going with that silly drawing you wanted to get done :3
Me: Oh right, I almost forgot about it
Sk: You better not forget again. Check the previous News entries; there's more things you set up to do but still haven't done, you dummy little fella
Me: Don't worry, I'll do 'em at some point. There are many things I need to get done, but I never know what to start with or where to continue ;w;
Sk: 'At some point'... you always say that, lol, how about just do it when you get around 'em?
Me: That might work, we'll see
Sk: Alright then; this should be enough text for the scrollbar to show on the homepage. Also, you'll include this bit, right?
Me: I'll add it because it has a scrollbar now. And, lol, we talked a lot today
Sk: yea, lol, I didn't think it'd be possible; but then again, I talked a lot by myself in some day aswell
Me: Yep, I hope you'll do more of that ^^
Sk: Me too, it's fun; but making fun is funner :3
Me: Ah yes, indeed
- 2021-08-12
- A bit of a clean up was done on the Lastest updates thing from the homepage. I'm sorry I didn't do much these days ;;
Me: And I also didn't do what you thought I'd do, lol
Sk: Well, of course, I didn't expect anything else
Me: Indeed, indeed ^^
Wait a bit, with the clean up, you won't see the scrollbar ;w; Heh, it's alright. Pretty sure in the following days, we're going to write a bunch there again.
Or I don't know, knowing me, if I say I do something, this means I won't do it ;w;
Either way, stay tuned for whether I do what I'm supposed to do or not... Whatever, we'll see how it goes, lol
Sk: Go and do some stuff already, lol
Me: No more breaks?
Sk: None of 'em
Me: Alright man, that's what I want too, tbh
- 2021-08-08
- Me: Oh no, I just noticed... Previously I skimmed through your text to fix it (only made the first line coloured, and added line-breaks), and only now that I read it better, I see you revealed some of my plans ;w;
Sk: Yes, that's what I did; how else are you gonna do them if you don't remember what they are. Maybe reading them on the website will give you some incentive to start working on 'em; or, knowing you, that might simply change nothing. It doesn't matter either way for me :3 Also, you better not change around my text more than what you did
Me: Ohhh, you're right on that; good boi :3 And don't worry about it, so far I only colour it and add line-breaks. Didn't change any of your texts yet
Sk: Good. And I'm not good boi, neither you are, dumbo
Me: Right, you bad boi
Sk: Now that's more like it
- Also, you know how that Lastest updates bit from the homepage can get bigger and bigger when we may write extremely long news entries... I'm working on a fix for that, and that means add a scrollbar :3 One solution I've seen applied before was a textfield, but that is limiting to us, such as lack of colours, and formatting, and, and; so I'll just add the scrollbar to what is there already ^^
Also, also, he style file for the homepage needs a rewrite someday ;w;
Well, I did add the scrollbar because tbh, that part of the page was simply getting too long... I hope you don't mind it like it is now ^^
Sk: Nah, it's pretty good
Me: Thanks man ^^
Sk: That wasn't for you, it was for the webpage
Me: The webpage that I wrote?
Sk: You know what, whatever, let's leave it like so; the webpage looks good, but not because you're the one who wrote it
Me: Alright, that works with me ^^
- (2021-08-07)
- Some back scene changes were done. Like last time I did this, if things went well, you shouldn't notice a difference ^^ (if you care to know, i changed some code so that i only have to load 1 css file and 1 js file, as opposed to previously being 2 css and 3 or 4 js. what i've done has made the code more difficult to understand, even for me, but it's better this way. there is less to load now ^^)
- compare
- 2 css files (includes 1 that loads yet another)
- and
- 3 js files (and 1 that is loaded no matter if it's needed or not, adding some kBs to file size)
- to
- 1 css file (that loads 1 and then another 1 as well)
- and
- 1 js file (that loads 2 js files (and another if needed) and 1 css file)
- What you may notice a difference of is that now the cover (which used to be the only thing on a left column) does not use as much space as before :3 Now there's 2 rows with 2 columns, instead of only 2 long columns. I hope it's better like this, especially with the borders ^^ Don't worry, I'll apply borders to the other webpages too. Now that I look at them after I'm on home page, I don't know where the content starts and where it ends ;w; so I'll fix that some time ^^
Sk: Weren't you on break?
Me: I am, but I thought of doing this while at it; I told before how much I enjoy doing webpage things even though it can be annoying at times, such as fixing the very thing I talked about earlier ;w;
Sk: Of course you do; now get going with the guide
Me: Didn't you say you wanna work on it instead? I wouldn't mind it
Sk: I know I said that, but I don't have the time, exactly like you...
Me: Now you know how it is ;w;
Sk: I've known for a while
Me: Alright then, I'll do it one of these days; I don't even know what needs to be done first, and I can't use up all my time to figure it out, so I just do random things sometimes... Maybe I should think instead ;w;
Sk: Nah, do what you do best
Me: Fixing up the text? It seems I'm pretty good at it ^^
Sk: Do that then
Me: Alrighty, I did so
Sk: Nice
Me: Now what?
Sk: Take a break, man, and think of what you wanna do
Me: Ohhh; see you then ^^
- 2021-08-06
- Sk: Oh man, I think this is the first time I start an entry by myself, and not continue from whatever was said... Heh, there is a beginning to everything ^^ For this occassion, I'd like all the following text that I write to not be cyan. Only this top part :3
- Now, I don't really know what to talk about, but I know this guy, or whatever they are, they still haven't got onto my webpages... But it's alright, they're not worth the read anyway. Just some very old cr4p that no longer matters
- Also, for some reason, they wanted to draw some backgrounds, but would end up drawing a cover to replace the home page one. I think they'll get onto the individual page ones some other day, lol. And, I don't know if they're done with that drawing, or if they even started it. Heh, you know they take a long time to get stuff done, lol
- Other than that, good thing I only have to write this text by itself and not mess around with the HTML and stuff; I don't even know where to start. I have looked around the source of the home page, and I really don't know what to do. How do they manage all that? Seeing one of the previous News entry, I think not even they know, lol
- I didn't add anything to the webpages yet, but I'll see if I'm allowed to continue the guide (add link to it) they left unfinished for some time
- Somehow, I talked more than I expected, so see more on the News webpage... that's what it's called, right?
Here it is more.
- Also, they wanna do music and embed it on some frame webpage. I don't know how to feel about that. I remember the days when browsing webpages that had autoplay audio with no way to stop it, so I muted the whole system. Wasn't that much of a problem, because you couldn't do much else while browsing the 'web anyway; computers weren't that good at multitasking, and the 'net speed was... not the best at times. So, I was doing other things too while things were loading. You guys nowadays have no patience, and can't wait for longer than 5 seconds or so; I remember having to wait many minutes to download a few MB (that's MegaBytes, mind you)... Of course, I wouldn't want those times back, but just to give you some food for thought.
Nowadays we have autoplay video, and if you can guess based on what I said about autoplay audio, you may know how I'd feel about it. Autoplay audio is not all that bad when you can stop it, but video is even worse, especially when you can't even switch to a different quality or unable to make it not load and such. I'll talk about it another time, there's a bit more to cover
- They told me they're not going to embed more than a MIDI onto a separate webpage from frames, and that you can switch between them or something. And that you can choose frames with audio or without or no frames without audio. This is too much for me to understand without even seeing it in action; so, we'll see how that goes.
- I think the homepage looks way better with borders; why did they not do that earlier? Add borders to every webpage you can :3
- Also, man, they wanna do so many things that might not even be needed ;w;
- They found the webpage with compressed image results or whatever it was. I don't know how to link to it, but I don't know where it is anyway, so change [this text] with a link to it later.
- And I hope they get a PC or something at some point, lol, doing stuff on that cr4p old laptop they have is difficult. Better fix the [Support Me] webpage too, it may come useful. They said they will do that, but still didn't. Yep, the usual; wouldn't expect anything else
- I don't know when all this will be done, but we'll see
- Even tho I thought I wouldn't write much, I still did. I should be left to write here too; it's fun :3
- Anyway, that's from me. See you next time hopefully ^^
- Me: I fixed the text; and I hope you guys have fun ^^ I'm still kinda on break, but I have to put Sk's text on webpage and such; most they can do so far is write it ^^
Sk: Yea, I had some fun ^^ I'll do it again
Me: What a change of tone from your usual ;w;
Sk: Sh'up, go back to the break, you silly
Me: That's how I like you :3
Sk: Get used to it :3
Me: I did; it's why I'm always surprised when you're not like that ;w;
- Me: For some reason, yesterday, I forgot to add the previous entry here. That shows I really was sleepy, lol
Sk: Like I said before, wouldn't expect anything else
Me: Indeed
- 2021-08-05
- I added the icons I wanted to add to the sitemap webpage. I hope you appreciate my rushed attempt ;w;
Didn't have enough sleep these days, and it shows...
I'll take a break, and Sk does not seem to be here to pester me about it...
Heh, maybe they'll come back later ^^ I'll leave you with 'em when they do come back :3
- 2021-08-04
- I have changed the placeholder image at the sitemap webpage with the loading-image one that I had around, because I'm going to replace them with some proper one some day :3
Maybe with the exception of the first one at top, which is a broken-image instead. That one will wait longer ;w;
- And I had made the bullets more "neon-y" lookin', just to see how they would look like, and it's better like that ^^
- Oh and also, I had made the homepage... width... thing, to be wider; meaning that it should fit more of your screen if the horizontal is more than 720px :3
It took me some time to understand the mess I wrote years ago, but I did it ^^ Also, the borders I added have proved to be useful in measuring. I'll leave them be ^^
- Also, one of these days I'll try to dig for that text file I wrote before and after I compressed the images. It could be interesting to take a look ^^ even tho the amounts I saved by compressing are just some kBs... but I do it anyway when I remember; no need to transfer metadata and such that the browser has no need for, you know
- 2021-08-03
- Wanna know what was missing from the homepage? That is, borders :3 And not only one, but several of them. I know I previously mentioned that I don't even know how I made the homepage layout to work like it does (I still don't; it's been a while ;w; ), but I looked a bit at structure, and added borders where I saw fit.
In doing that, I figured I had to deal with colours, and, if you didn't know, I love colours :3 So, it's possible I took longer than I should have ;w; That might also be because I fixed the TV's brightness and such, so now I see everything way more clear :3 I still think a PC monitor would be better suited, but I don't have any yet ;;
And, I think I also changed some colours from the Links webpage. There was not enough purple again, but now there is ^^
Come to think of it, I changed the homepage's background colour to be more purple, but are there stars when the sky is purple? I've not seen any by then, but the moon can be seen in clear day sometimes, so it's not really that far off ^^ Why am I trying to imitate reality
- 2021-08-02
- I didn't upload the sitemap webpage, did I? It was kinda incomplete at the time, and I think I forgot to do so ;w;
Heh, I uploaded it anyway ^^
It has the same content as before, but I added the placeholder images and replaced the tables with a better one.
Could be done better than that, but it's good for now ^^
- 2021-08-01
- I missed writing webpages with nonsense that I intend to use for testing purpose ;w;
So, I wrote
this one
that I intend to use as base to write others on. Or maybe not; I'll have to get rid of its contents first, then save another to be easier for me, and write on that one instead...
We'll see ^^
- Also, I added some
coloured bullets to the
frames view
menu
because, to be honest, I wanted to do something like that since I first made it ^^
I took inspiration from some websites that were inspired from the old websites. If you couldn't tell by the convenient few lines at the top of home page that I wrote... some time ago (I... I don't think I remember what I wrote there, or if I wrote what I remember I did, but whatever; the following applies), I prefer the old websites more than the lack of creativity we get nowadays on the modern web... (maybe I wrote this one in the About webpage? Heh, who knows, these things need to be checked through at some point ;w; )
- And I changed the
sitemap webpage
a bit; it was mostly just to be there at first ^^
I needed to make it better than the placeholder it was ;w;
- Other than that... it seems the laptop's internals or whatever have got worse since we did a clean up in the room and moved things around some days ago.
Someone (not me this time) has clearly mishandled it, because it took a bit longer than usual to go past the BIOS screen.
I need a PC, I don't wanna deal with that closed-box laptop anymore... I wanna take the laptop apart and clean it up, because it maybe needs one, but I can't do that ;; Heh, looks like I'll have to wait for some time to have the PC so that I won't stare at nothing in the meantime. I don't wanna go back to the phone ;;
I'm still looking to get somewhere... My webpage writing and the people that I consider friends (I still love every single one of you guys ^^ and I'm sorry that I'm not active these days...) are the only things keeping me around these days. If the laptop goes wrong somehow, before I have the PC, then I don't know what I'll do...
Let's not focus on that for now; it's nice that I made some things better, which is something I wanted to do for quite some time, and that's what matters ^^
I'm sorry for this ;w;
- 2021-07~
- 2021-07-30 (2)
- Oh man, that's what happens when I don't test things properly... I forgot to set the background colour for the frames view ;w; There's no such thing as a starry background that is light, right?
Anyway, the reason I forgot is quite interesting; I have changed the default colour for when a webpage doesn't have its own background, text, and link colours (because you can do that in Firefox-based web browser :3 ) ; simply put, I inverted them.
I also set the monitor to low brightness, even tho it doesn't help much, because it still lights up the whole room no matter what (this one is not even a PC monitor, it's a TV ;w; I'd still like to have a proper PC monitor, so I can use it as backup; but I can wait until then ^^ )
So, yes, I'm sorry I couldn't notice something was wrong, and I forgot to test more ;w; I hope now it's fixed ^^
- 2021-07-30
- I've added a way to view with
Frame
s ^^
I know those are not even recommended nowadays and are not in use anymore (IFrame
s are, but that's not what I'm going for... Also, it'd make this website a mess to navigate if I was to only focus on them (like I saw in some certain hobbyist websites :3 Don't worry guys, I still love ya, and please don't take what I said as being bad ^^ ). I intend to make this as being optional ^^), but I wanted to do something like this ever since I first started my website way back in 2017. Long time ago; and, you know how it is, better later than never ^^ Back then, the menu had nothing on it (and was just a way to use up space, because I didn't really know how to do things back then...), but at least this time, there's more than that emptyness ^^
In order to switch, you have to go back to where you first come to this website, and click on FrameFull (as opposed to FrameLess, which is how it was before)
You may see what I mean by mess to navigate; you can't easily share URLs if you're stuck in frames, and I didn't even try that much with it. You're free to just use the menu view instead; the whole frame thing was nothing more than an experiment ^^
At this point, it might not be there yet (I'm doing these things as I go, and sometimes I talk too early ^^), so go here if it doesn't show up on the first page.
- Sk: What hobbyist websites? What do you mean?
Me: Ohh, you know, some personal websites like mine ^^
But some of those that I've seen, use IFrame
s in some weird ways in which you can't share the URL to the webpage you're on; or if you do, it goes to the wrong one or it breaks
It is exactly what happens here too if you go to any of the webpages from the frames view
I did think of that when I made the menu for frame, but didn't change anything in the old webpages yet
Sk: Oh man, but why did you make it like so...
Me: You know, you don't have to go to that view if you don't want to ^^ I gave you choice between them for a reason :3
Sk: Yea, but it wasn't needed
Me: I wanted to do it for such a long time, and I kinda had to change the first page somehow
- 2021-07-27
- I've done some fixing at back of scenes. If it did go well (unlike last time ;w; ), now you won't have to get a double redirect at some places. It still happens, but I made it in a better way
It was the meta refresh
thing in HTML; I got rid of those, and did it in the htaccess
file instead.
And of course, I do anything but what I'm supposed to. Ah yes, the usual ;w;
Sk: The usual indeed. I'm not even gonna ask what happened to the things I wrote some time ago; it's very likely you still haven't got to them
Me: Oh right, man, I forgot ;w; I have to do so many things, and didn't have enough time... I've not drawn either...
Sk: Of course you don't have time; instead of checking my files and such, you were moving files around and such...
Me: At least I'm trying to clean the mess I left much time ago. You don't even wanna see yours, lol
Sk: Nice way of welcoming me back :3
Me: Learned from the best ^^
- 2021-07-24
- I told you that you'd get some exclusive screenshots; take a look at this one. On the webpage I mentioned we'd have some extra content for completing stages; that's how the menu entry of the first one looks like (you see, the circle is not filled in if you have not completed yet). As for its content... I already said what I thought it'd be last time, and I think you can figure it out by yourself anyway (just translate the stuff around there, you know)
And, I know, I was supposed to work on webpages for the other one... Don't worry, I'll get to it ^^
- Sk: Yo man, did that stuff you wanted to do work out?
Me: Indeed it did; I was able to get a screenshot of the text-based web browser, and I even use it to read webpages instead of heavier alternative (I still have to use it when I have no choice, (cough) mostly-JS or JS-only websites, checking your web browser cr4p, and maybe more). And I also found that the OS I now have is way better ^^
Sk: Ohh, nice, but... you still haven't done anything with my webpages, you dumbo... Maybe you'd need to go back to the touchscreen keyboard after all; on that laptop, you only think about fixing existing files and such, but on the touchscreen keyboard, it's mostly about making new files or adding content, like this one. You wrote most of this entry on the touchscreen keyboard, with its typos and all, not on the 'proper' keyboard, as you were thinking you'd do some weeks ago
Me: Maybe I do need to go back there at times, like I did now; but wait, how do you know all this?
Sk: Of course I know, lol, I know everything :3 (you told me, silly)
Me: Oh right... I forgot that I did... man, the past days have been quite busy ;w; I didn't expect I'd enjoy the time there that much
Sk: Ye, I betcha they were busy; now get onto things and be more busier, lol, I wanna see more of this :3
Me: Alright, will do ^^
Yay, they saw ^^ This reminds me I still have to finish start the drawing I was thinking about some time ago. I wanna replace the placeholder on the homepage with my own ;w;
- 2021-07-21
- Oh man, I'm so sorry ;w;
With my excitement about trying something new, I completely almost forgot about the website...
But I'm working on more webpages to come for this game, so that's something ^^
I'm not gonna leave you hanging like I did before, don't worry. At least I'll try not to; can't promise, ya know
And, I'm sure you noticed the colours from the previous entry. I'm not gonna always do that, I'm sorry... But I'll try to do that more, now that it's better with this keyboard ^^
- Also, I don't think I'll do the screenshots of the other game from this OS; it makes the laptop heat up ;;
- I'll try to drag Sk here in the following days ^^
- 2021-07-20 (2)
- In fact, I'll go fetch some screenshots of the text that I'm going to write to test it out. I don't think this website currently works on the text-based web browser without JavaScript due to the way the webhoster set it up... But I have my ways to show you how it would look like if it wasn't like so. Stay tuned ^^
- So, here is some text to test how it is displayed when seen from
lynx
.
I think it'll be displayed a bit differently
- Guys, I did it! (I also replaced the previous link with the one here, and this bit of text was added after I took that screenshot, that's why this one is not there.
Another time I'll get some more screenshots going :3
(And I hope Sk can come back and see these...)
- Also, yep, as expected, I can't browse to this website "properly" while in
lynx
, that gives me the 403 Forbidden
HTTP code...
Interestingly enough, it says that it's from nginx
, but elsewhere I read it should be Apache
instead. nginx is not my web server, what's up with this, lol
- 2021-07-20
- Oh boi, now that I'm on a desktop (not really a desktop, it's still that silly old laptop... but I switched the OS to another), I can properly fix some files that I wanted to for a long time; such as making some images have transparency, converting files from
CRLF
to LF
, adding some info to files (or removing some bytes, and converting some to proper UTF-8
, instead of whatever Windows uses for Unicode...), and so on
And also, there's still no Internet at home, so I think I'll upload this later using someone's hotspot... The mobile data has a limited amount of bandwidth that I can use for less than a month, and it's also very slow at around 250kB/s (so, not MBs, I wish it would be that, lol); while the home Internet goes up to 1MB/s, and rare times even a few MBs beyond. I wanna have the Internet connection back so that I can add more to guide without having to always ask for hotspot ;w;
- Also also, for some reason, I wanna go back to the touch screen keyboard... It's a worse experience, why would I like that to myself ;;
And, right, Sk... man, I wouldn't like them to miss out on this, especially now that I may be able to provide some screenshots :3 And of the text-based web browser too
- I forgot to mention, this game worked out of box with no configuration needed, so prepare to see some exclusive screenshots that you may haven't seen before
A bad part about it is that there's no music, only sound effects; but what can I do, not everything can go perfect ;w;
- 2021-07-18
- Yo guys! This time I'm writing this in
micro
with an actual keyboard (not that touchscreen one), and hopefully be able to upload this file with ssh
:3
I don't think this will look any different than the previous texts, but the way I'm writing now is much better :3
Hopefully we can get to see some screenshots soon enough after I figure out more things as we go ^^
See you later :heart:
- And I know, not
vim
like I wanted to, but I'm getting there ^^
Also, this means I can update the webpage I did about Wine with proper instructions (or at least the ones I followed, and where I got them from)
I'm pretty sure ssh
or whatever I used to upload this has worked, and you're now able to see this live :3
- Oh, and, the way fonts were displayed (blurry and such) was annoying me...
I don't know why, but anti-alias and such makes my eyes blur and unblur, constantly... and so, I changed the font settings, but it didn't work...
And so, I followed this guide (with some indications from the Arch Linux wiki) and it worked, now the fonts are crispy and clear, exactly how I like them :3
- And I forgot to mentioned, I updated my webpage about Wine. Now it's a bit more complete ^^
- 2021-07-16
- I'll take a break ^^ I need to get some things in order, and I wanna be away from this dumb touchscreen for some time...
I'm sorry for this, and I hope we see again ^^
- (2021-07-14)
- I moved some files around and changed some things, and it seems you may notice a difference... one example being on the homepage that images don't seem to load or something. I hope a clear refresh can fix that ^^ (I still wanna find a way to fix the cache thing ;w; )
Maybe on a similar topic, I'm currently looking for a "better" web hosting solution. The one I'm currently on... is not bad, but not that good (but then, again, you get what you pay for, I have settled with this for free ;w; What can I say, I'm poor...), but I'd like one where I don't have to manage the HTTPS thing by myself, and where RSS works out of the web browser (yep, I'll go there soon), and where I can access the webpages from a text-based web browser and/or one that has JS disabled (because for some reason you have to have it enabled when you first come to this website... I've not found a way to go around it, unfortunately; that's why I'm looking for other web hosting :3 )
Sk: Ye, man, text-based web browser :3 We should try at some point
Me: I did try one of them a long time ago. And I think my stupid environment at the time (and lack of understanding on my part) didn't give me a nice experience... But I wouldn't mind to try it again after all those years ^^
- 2021-07-12
- I have added some colours to it :3
That's just the beginning, as there are still no images... But I tried to make space for where I think there will be; and please tell me if I did well ^^
I'll try and make every webpage I have colourful, or at least add colour to 'em :3
And also, I should move the files around... they cause me confusion ;w;
- 2021-07-11
- I have went ahead and wrote a part of a guide. I hope you don't mind if I make it available in its barebones state and with a clear lack of images and unfinished ;w;
Also, I still haven't moved the files... and I'm not writing these from a desktop like I was supposed to...
- And please don't keep me away from writing webpages again ;w;
Sk: You gotta feature me here more...
Me: Yep, but I don't know what to talk about with you...
Sk: Oh lol, then talk about how you should've included me in that guide of yours :3
Me: You know what, I forgot about that. I'll let you come there later
But also, how's those webpages going?
Sk: I finished them days ago, you got lazy and did nothing these days
Me: That wasn't laziness, and I didn't enjoy it at all; I didn't feel that well, but think of it however you want
Sk: You also had to make available some more webpages that you still don't have ready yet
And don't try the not feeling well, because now you don't feel well either, but you still wrote up all this stuff anyway
Me: Well, yeah, now it's not as bad. In the other days, I couldn't do much like today, but now I can :3
Sk: Alright then, whatever, but include the webpages once you get to them, lol
Me: That I'll do ^^
- (2021-07-08)
- I'll go and move some files around in the following days. If everything goes well, you won't notice a difference :3
Also, I'm sorry for inactivity ;; I have been unable to do what I wanted to, and couldn't do anything related to guides until the previous thing is done... I can't focus on more than one thing at once ;w;
The dumb touchscreen is still causing me trouble ;;;:
- Also also, I decided that I won't do an update everyday. I'll still try and write things, but no guarantees ;w;
- 2021-07-01
- Hmm, I wanted to begin the webpage with some good news, but it looks like that ain't happenin'... Maybe another day ^^
