Mayhem-Online

Archive for the ‘ReBoot’ Category

The new ReBoot Mayhem website is finally up and running! Huzzah!!

Welp, I didn’t finish it all but I got the bulk of it up and running which is better than nothing. Time was still a problem in terms of there was very little of it available for me to be able to really work on the site. That and the fact that I was always buggered after work and never really in the mood to try and concentrate on doing something like this. However, it was at the stage where it was complete enough to be uploaded and available. Now I wonder how many people will come back? Do they remember the site even exists? I could go over to a couple of sites and say “Hey we’re back!” but that’s like someone from one store going into their rival store and announcing at the top of their voices “Come over to our store! Its much better!” lol. Of course advertising on other sites is the way to bring people back so its kind of a catch22. I’ll just see how things go, it’ll probably be quiet anyway since everyone is still unsure as to what is happening with the whole ReBoot ReBorn thingy.

Anyway surprise surprise, on top of getting that site up and running I also did a quick revamp of Animay. Its really changed quite a bit in that its not the harsh site it was before (not that it was really harsh, its just that I always used light colours on top of dark colours so it gave it a bit of a harsh look and feel to the site). Its now pastel green, pastel blue and white and I’ve given the mascot a break (DN Angel characters) and added a bit of a romantic, mooshy feel to it lol. Its something different anyway. The movie clips section there is the only thing that isn’t working yet. I’m going to start archiving the movie clips and just have the current years clips on the ftp server. This will keep the space free (hopefully) and its a good housekeeping tip. I’m going to be working on that during this week.

Whew its been quite a weekend. I’ve had very little sleep (watching the Worl Cup Rugby Union too which is on late here) working on websites and trying to get everything updated before the end of the weekend. Monday I’ll be taking a break though I’ll probably have to do a bit of fixing since people may have spotted errors on the site. I’ve just thought of one, I haven’t put on the site about where the Fan Fics are going! I’ll put that on my “To do” list…

Powering along still. I’ve got a few pages left to do and seem to be delaying finishing off the character pages at the moment which is kind of weird, but nonetheless I continue to work hard, at least for most of the day today I am doubting that the site will be completed before the end of the month but will endeavour to work to get the site up as soon as I can.

And yes, Happy Birthday to me, I am now… much older than I was yesterday ;-p

It’s almost midnight which means two things, its time I should be going to bed, and shortly I’ll be turning over a new leaf… ie its my birthday. I started writing this post at 11.44pm so if finish it after midnight…

Anyway, I’ve managed to get more done on the website. The entire Downloads section is now complete. I also started working on the Links pages. Doesn’t sound like a lot but I’ve been going through some of my old CDs/DVDs looking for files that are missing from the site. One group of files I can’t seem to locate are the rips from the PS game that was released so long ago. I know I did them, but I can only find 3 clips and they aren’t the ones I’m looking for. I may have to do another search tomorrow but I’m really not sure where to look now. Maybe I didn’t save them after all? I’d be an idiot if that was the case. If I don’t find the original files, then I’ll just use what I’ve got. I did try to use a couple of the programs that you need to use to rip clips from a PSX disc, but unfortunately they won’t work on my system. That’s either because they’re old now or because of the lack of resources/space on my hard drive at the moment (I’m down to 12GB from 260GB!!) I’ll be spending some time cleaning up the hard drive soon.

So anyway, it means the site won’t be up by my birthday, though if you live overseas my birthday doesn’t actually happen for another two days lol so I could pretend my birthday is in another day’s time. Will the site be released by then? Don’t know yet. I think there is still a lot of fiddly bits to be done and I need to check everything before beginning to upload it, and then checking the uploaded files (minus the home page) online before it goes live to make sure its all fine. See, this proves that I’m a Virgo – I need to make sure everything is perfect… or at least near enough to being perfect (nothing’s perfect!)
