Mayhem-Online

There’s a strong possibility that I’ll be shifting servers with all my websites. I’m looking around at the moment and hoping to find something that will meet my current requirements fairly soon. At this stage I’m delaying updates on all of my websites until after the move and that could be anywhere between now and the end of the month, or even maybe the end of next month… depends on what appears on the horizon. At this stage my only worry is the transfer of mysql databases – a lot of hosts out there have different control panels to the one I currently use and therefore don’t do the whole automatic transfer unless you’re using the same control panel they are. While most of my sites are easily moveable (wordpress has that import export option), its the databases for sites like Joomla and Coppermine that are the main issue. There are over 90,000 images on the Screencaps Gallery alone (Animay), and to have to re-upload them would be extremely time-consuming, not to mention the number of views, popularity statistics etc that I’d prefer to keep.

On another note, I picked up Sims 3 a couple of weeks ago when it came out. I’ve seen on the official site that there have been just as many complaints as there has been compliments and kudos for the game. I’m with the latter rather than the former. Sure there are a few weird things that become a bit problematic, but its still a great game and there’s so many cool options and events that happen in this game that I’m still a Sims addict lol. I’ll post up my full review at a later date.

My gundam – as listed below – arrived and was built. I have taken photos but not pulled them off the camera yet so I can’t share them but will after shifting servers. All I can say right now is just how awesome it looks. Master-Grade kits are the best!

When I’m not watching anime, or a dvd movie, I’m watching TV series. Lately I’ve been downloading TV series that I’m interested in, usually the crime stuff as that’s pretty cool to me. I’m a big CSI fan though not so much of CSI: Miami (don’t really like David Caruso) but the NY spinoff is great. I also like the new series that has been airing since last year in the US called “Eleventh Hour” starring Rufus Sewell. Currently I’m waiting for new episodes and hoping they will be coming (including a second season!). I’m also a big fan of The Mentalist, “our boy” Simon Baker is a great actor and he portrays his character well in this series. I’ve also been watching Law and Order: Criminal Intent (fan of Vincent D’nofrio and Jeff Goldblum) and Cold Case. I’ve recently started watching Criminal Minds which appears to be pretty good too in that category and have begun downloading The Closer, which I did begin watching when it first aired here on free-to-air tv but as soon as they changed timeslots I lose interest. On the other side I’ve also been getting some fantasy adventure series, namely Legend of the Seeker and Merlin. I did have the option of downloading season 5 of Stargate Atlantis but since the DVD set is due out next month I’ll just wait and buy that lol.
