Pimping out the Blog
Pimping the Blog!
Jul 26th
Hah, it’s been forever since I’ve updated the blog again. I seem to do a lot of nothing, then a lot of something!
Today I went through the 155 spam (x_X) and picked out four semi-funny ones, and added them the funny spam list. Apparently, a spam bot’s son went to see Bieber. :-D Oh, and he was arrested.
Guess the post in my previous post is real?! Heh.
Also, brand new theme. Isn’t it amazing? :D
Oh, and I want to thank you spam bots. Because of you, I remembered this post… the story has been updated!!!! :D:D:D!!!
So I updated
Jul 13th
I’m only like, what, a month late? But yeah, I finally updated to WordPress 3.0. I wonder how many of my extensions are broken now? :(
Anyways, I don’t really have much to talk about here. I could say how much I hate my new prof, or how my new job sucks, or anything… but that requires too much *work*.
So ttyl <3
Changed again
May 26th
The funky layout was pissing me off. It was wayyyyyyyyyyy too bloated for what I use this silly thing for. ;D
So I’m trying out this grassy one. At least for now. It’ll probably change again soon :3
New layout – whatcha think?
May 22nd
I got bored of the old one (and the spam comments kept hinting that I should try out new themes) and so I decided to try this.
It’s, as the esteemed Ryan puts, “funky”.
Tell me whatcha think :)
Played with the site more
Feb 14th
So instead of doing something useful, like maybe writing more of my story, I played around with the site. I probably will write more in the next few weeks, as my hours have been drastically cut. In the newest schedule, I only got 12 :’( Which is a HUGE drop from the 40 I worked last week.
Oh well.
Anyways, I added a shoutbox. Not that anyone will ever use it except me :P I also changed the countdown from Percy movie to Justin Bieber’s new CD :-D
I’ve also added a page about hosting here. I don’t do much, but hey, if it brings a few bucks to my pocket, sure, I’ll share the server.
Speaking of the server -- Wikimon is back up! And we have a MUCH more powerful processor now, plus 4GB of ram! We are looking pretty damn sweet now :D
And Ryan (Yeah, that Ryan) has his own blog thing going now. You can see it here. We’ll see if he does anything with it… he paid for the domain, not me. xD But I am hosting him. ♥
Here are some shirts I want, linked to where you can buy them for me. ♥
Aren’t they both hot? ♥
Anyways, that’s about it for today. Spam the shoutbox, buy me t-shirts, and buy hosting from me. That’s the moral of today.
Or if all else fails, BUY ME JUSTIN’S NEW CD. ♥♥♥♥♥♥
Translational work
Jan 27th
So today I totally worked on the translation section.
I went through and added videos with the songs to most of ‘em, so you can HEAR the song (& watch the video in some of ‘em!) while you read my awesometastic translations.
changelog also includes:
A small update to the the Atrévete translation… two lines is all I really touched. It’s still perfect ♥
A decently sized overhaul of the Azul translation, including me fixing the line that has bugged me FOREVER.
”Tu príncipe azul yo seré” went from “I will be your blue prince” to “Your blue prince, that’s who I’ll be”
I also fixed a big problem with that song… namely missing lyrics. A couple of the stanzas were completely redone, so it’s worth looking at. :)
Te Quiero Má got a small update, and I redid the stanzas about talking to the moon.
to do list:
I really wanna work on Ni Tu Ni Nadie since I absolutely love the video they did for it, and I have a much better idea of the meaning of the song. It needs a major overhaul.
Cara Luna is also in serious need of help. In the years since I did these I got into fansubbing and I learned a lot about translation. And god do some of mine, like this one, need help. X_X
Boogie Boogie should almost be taken down, it pretty much makes no sense.
Also, need to take out my DVD, and then make screenshots of each outfit that John John wears.
other notes:
The video for Nada still freaks me out.
no videos for Si Tú No Estás or Rock en la T.V cuz no one knows they exist.
ANNNNNNNNNNNNNND I also (the other day, not today) did another of the HSM songs, this one is Delfi’s Battle of the Bands song. You can find it here, called Superstar.
Two more translations, Percy/Nico update
Jan 19th
So I dunno why but I am ttly in a translating mood tonight (well, today I guess… it’s 4:30am)
I translated two more of the HSM:ED songs, Actuar, Bailar, Cantar and El Verano Terminó.
I also updated the Percy/Nico list with 3 more stories that I found on ffn ♥ It’s also been renamed “A List of Percy/Nico Love” but I’ve left the url the same for those that possibly bookmarked it.
I also did some general housekeeping around the blog… I updated the book I’m reading, got rid of the NaNo thing and took the silly TweetMeme thingy off some of the pages (I have to use a custom field, whatever the fuck that is)
But I think that’s about it. There’s a poll on Shamisen about Bieber’s Baby. Lemme know whatcha think. I’ll leave you with some Bieber here.
So I apparently broke the website
Jan 13th
Uhhhh dunno what the fuck I did, but I broke it.
Layout’s all funky and whatnot… I guess I’ll try to fix it after work tonight.
:(
edit: fixed. forgot a / D:
Twittering out the blog
Oct 26th
I dunno why, but I added a bunch of twitter stuff here on the blog. Which really isn’t that important, since the biggest day I’ve had was a total of 8 people, it’s not like many come. Haha.
Anyways, there’s now a twitter thing on the sidebar where you can follow me, and all the posts now have a “tweet” button, where you can tweet the title of the blog. Kinda cool, I guess.
The other thing I added was a “Now Reading” which shows the book I’ve been attempting to read since the release date – Dan Brown’s The Lost Symbol. I’m only like half-way through now… still! It’s absurd how long it’s taking me to read it. Haha. I’ll try and keep it up to date when I pick up new books. Though I dunno what I’ll do if I try and read two at once… I read Syren during my reading of The Lost Symbol. ;p
