the pangs of unrequited love.

My layout portfolio rehauled, revamped, and renamed. Again. I still have a few tweaks to work out, I need to upload more layouts, and finish an article or two as well. For the most part, I'm done :O

Also, I've updated and added more links at Same Sky. I've lost a couple affiliates, and now I'm down to three D:

I'm going to work on revamping Antihero, and once I finish with that, I'll probably get to work on Same Sky.

(insert excuse here)

Thu, 26 Jul 2007 03:50:49 GMT

Somewhat late, but Blizzara.org has a slightly-lazy-oriented-but-nevertheless-new layout.

There's been some updates with the revamp at Antihero; "Romance" has finally been somewhat written after so many years. "Relationships" and "History" have also received their share of cleaning up. I will most likely continue with the revamp, slowly but surely. Now, if only I can keep myself motivated-- it would save me much embarrasment!

I'm sure Same Sky and Boundless have something done, but I can't seem to recall what they were. Regardless, I don't think they've been uploaded...?

As for those Bleach shrines, I might either adopt them out or archive them. None of them are completed, so I'm kind of leaning towards the former, assuming that someone is insane enough to tolerate my junk.

1000 no Kotoba should be reuploaded sometime, hopefully before the next update.

All systems GO!

Thu, 17 May 2007 04:50:35 GMT

All the domains (blizzara.org, balthier.com, geostigma.net) are up and running again. It looks like my server was hacked, not due to payments. I still have no idea what happened, but it was probably due to me still using PHPfanbase. I'll try to make an effort to switch to Enth, but I probably won't make the attempt until summer. My apologies for the late resolve.

Also, Orenji is down. Not sure what happened to my host, but I might have to find a new one. I'm contemplating on whether or not I should adopt it out, but nothing is final. I might inquire about it on my next post. Thanks for your patience, everyone.

Domains down.

Tue, 24 Apr 2007 03:28:06 GMT

All domains (blizzara, balthier, geostigma) are down for the time being. If you're wondering why, it's because I haven't renewed my hosting :P I'll crack down on paying sometime soon though.

I suppose I owe an explanation for my absence lately. I've been terribly busy with school and friends, so I haven't had the time to make major updates within the past month. Although, I did make a few minor updates these past couple months, such as reorganizing blizzara, and a few here and there to Boundless.

Mostly small updates to Boundless

Tue, 13 Feb 2007 04:48:03 GMT

Although I'm pretty sure I could have made much more progress during my three-day weekend, I made a few new addtions to Boundless.

There are four new artworks up; one concept and three from Itadaki Street Special.
Maiestas, a new shrine to Ashe, is now an affiliate of Boundless!
Working on the following sections: The entire "site" section ("credits" drafted), changes need to be made to "design" again, and maybe a few pages on Balthier's relationships (I'll probably start with either Larsa, Vaan, or Basch). I have all the images set for "weapons", but I think I might need a bit more research. Oh, and I'm still working on that second part of his past. The "humor" page is taking longer than it should be too.

Other than that, I honestly did not get any real work done. Oh! But I did make new favicons for the domain and Boundless. The one for Same Sky should be showing up too. Har :3 On top of all this, I still have to revamp a few of the existing shrines. Sigh.

Hopefully by the end of the week, I'll have a new "contacts" page so I won't have to have what's essentially the same information on each shrine. It was supposed to be up today, but I'm having a few php problems *kicks server*

12 hours!

Sun, 04 Feb 2007 09:55:28 GMT

I really need to get off this computer e.e

Anywho, weekend updates! New additions to Boundless: "Persona" and "War" have been uploaded. I still have to work on those section a bit more to make them not sound... terrible. "Timeline", "Design", and "Family" have been revised according to somewhat recent news of the upcoming FFT remake. I removed "death" because I sort of stuck it in the "war" section :P

I let Blizzara expire on accident, so I apologize if any of you saw that "for sale" sign. I've removed the "siblings" section and threw everyone under affiliates: if you have me listed under siblings, feel free to remove me. I felt that writing a little something for all of my affiliates took up too much space. Instead, I wrote a note for those people who I frequently keep in touch with and felt I can honestly say something important about, regardless of official linking status. I'm currently trying to figure out a decent way around this, so bear with me here :O The exit page was updated too.

The Marluxia fanlisting has been adopted by Nell and moved to here! Hopefully the update application will process without too much trouble at tfl.org D:

B.org third year anniversary!

Thu, 01 Feb 2007 07:17:54 GMT

That's right folks, Blizzara.org is three years old today! *throws even more confetti* I made a new layout just for the occasion. It's actually been up for a few days already-- I just didn't formally announce it. This version's cover boy features a male Wizard from Granado Espada. As always, the text is riduculously small and in iframes for some odd reason :D

New updates at Boundless: Three new scans in the "artwork" section donated by Phyress. I've added a sorry excuse for a contact and exit page as well. I haven't been update much written content as of late due to my horrible schedule and fateful distractions ._.

I've finally given away Graceful Assasin and Giverny et Velours, and I decided to keep Existence of Nothing too. Look out for the new links in the future!

Boundless on upcoming

Sun, 21 Jan 2007 13:15:15 GMT

I've plugged it in my personal journal, but I suppose I can announce a sort of semi-opening? There aren't many pages up (and I haven't done much updating yet since the 15th), but have a look around. Most of my future updates will consist of new addiotions or changes being made to the shrine.

Currently up and running: Character: Introduction, name, design, timeline, family, past: part 1, heroism and rewards, quickenings. Media: FMVs, artwork. Site: Link in

drafted: War, persona, past: part 2, updates being made to "design"

Updates for Jan 21: Two new images donated by fadedaway in the "artwork" section.

Oh, just a reminder that I haven't adopted out the fanlistings yet! Sorry! It's a really tough decision :O

Plans, plugs, and whatnot.

Thu, 11 Jan 2007 08:40:14 GMT

Ambrosia! For all of your beautiful FFXII FMV screencap goodness :D It's owned by Phyress, who spent a lot of time providing top quality images. Of course, the collection isn't quite complete as of right now, but rumors say there are plans of more official media going up the near future ;D

Speaking of Phyress, I forgot to mention that Blizzara.org is proud to be affiliated with Ashe.nu.

Okay, so I don't have any major site updates because I've been ~~slaving away on a certain site of no importance (which I hope would go up come this weekend, despite the incomplete...ness of it)~~ busy with other things, but I would like to mention that final decisions on fanlisting adoptions go down this weekend.

There's a possible revamp of Infelicitas that I'm planning because it's horrendous and hasn't been touched in about two years. Orenji also needs a huge update, specifically information after the soul society arc. Actually, I don't think I even completed THAT one.

Plugging charactershrine because I can.

Reminder to self: USE APPROPRIATE TAGS. I should also change this layout sometime.

edit:// Airi's site to Kula Diamond has recently opened and welcomes it to the network!

8 hours of non-stop work!

Tue, 02 Jan 2007 03:43:25 GMT

... and I still managed to not get enough work done. I also forgot to eat today D:

I spent most of my day revamping Driven. Ahaha, that's right, you heard it! I think it's been a whole two years since I touched it. I gave it a new layout, and rewrote almost everything. I'm actually surprised at what I remember from WHR, except for one very important detail that I cannot recall for the life of me. Anywho, this is probably the last time I'll be touching it for a very long time.

This is long overdue, haha. I had to cut most of the content down a lot, and turn it into more of a mini-shrine instead. Most of the pages should be working though, and I have yet to add more. A HUGE thank you to Min for hosting me!

winter break stuff

Wed, 27 Dec 2006 10:35:28 GMT

New layout up at Orenji. It's not my best work, I know. I still have some work to do on it, but that has yet to come.

Also, it looks like my Hitsugaya shrine is going to be finally opened as a mini-shrine. I'll update later on that :)

Blizzara.org's like portal has been cleared out of broken links as well.

Dawn & Magnolias has been closed down, and my fanlistings are put up for adoption. If you're interested in any of them, please check here.

fortinbras is cool?

Wed, 13 Dec 2006 11:18:23 GMT

New layout up at Blizzara.org, featuring Ashe of FFXII. I've had it sitting on my computer for more than a week, and I decided to code and upload it. Stock photos make really awesome textures, in case you're wondering x3

I made some changes around the domain, mostly the links page. Apparently the form wasn't working, so I had to make a new one; it should be working now. There's been changes to the siblings/affiliates page, mostly adding sites of interest. I also added balthier.com to the list of planned sites :P

I'm planning on adopting out some of my fanlistings; I'm probably going to keep Hikari and Empyrean though. I just don't have the time to manage all of them, and the fact that they're still running on PHPfanbase isn't helping.

Please don't expect any updates to 1000 no Kotoba in the near future; eternal-calm.net, my host for the shrine, is having some difficulties. I know there are some changes that I need to make, but it might be some time before anything is resolved.

And Paopu-fruit.org is now an affiliate! :D

varekai!

Sun, 01 Oct 2006 22:27:10 GMT

New layout at Blizzara.org after, what, three months? I was recently inspired by a few Cirque du Soliel productions that I watched to five hours straight. Haa. And although I didn't mention it, Tamisa is now an affiliate! ♥

So yeah, nothing else is really new. I started hellosquall some time ago, but I have yet to actually put some work into it. I feel so slow D: Real life keeps distracting me :(

Sun, 10 Sep 2006 21:56:42 GMT

After a whole year, 1000 no Kotoba finally has a new layout. I've been meaning to get a new one up for some time, but the inspiration just didn't get to me. Of course, when it did, I forgot how to make one. Brushes from 5th Muse haha. I can't use brushes, so the layout looks all blah.

It took a little longer, but all fanlistings have been updated. Srsly.

Fri, 04 Aug 2006 03:18:20 GMT

After a long wait, Blizzara's revamp is now complete. It's got a new exit layout (which I don't like entirely because it's not my style) with a pattern from h-g.net.

Same Sky has a new layout, and a revamp is on it's way due to the KHII boom that made my shrine suddenly outdated with 2 3/4 days. damn.

Also, look forward to a revamp on this as well. And I'll get that Tifa shrine up if it's the last thing I do e.e

All fanlistings have been updated. And um, I'll get to working on those missing pages sometime.

Back from the dead, and making progress

Sat, 08 Jul 2006 08:21:19 GMT

Uhm, yes, hello there fellow minions. It is *checks watch* 1 a.m. and I have nothing better to do but to update this thing. And it hasn't been updated anyway. I'm surprised I can actually type legitimate HTML at this hour; it makes me wonder if I can do it in my sleep. Now, where's my soda?!

First and foremost, B.org, although it has a new layout, it's revamp isn't completed. I still have to wrap up the pages in the "exit" section, and change the links page to... something else. The layout is compatible in IE, and I'm working on fixing the errors it's making in FF. So if you can, view the site in IE; it looks better in it anyway (I promise it doesn't have any ads >.>).

New additions to the site since the last update are Dawn & Magnolias, Giverny et Velours, and Graceful Assassin. Sites that have closed are Astro Mechanic (Ratchet FL), and Amaranth (personal site).

Orenji will also be moving to http://byakuya.nu/ichigo sometime very soon, possibly tomorrow, so please update your links if you have it linked. I will also be finding Winter Grace a new home sometime. Actually, if you have byakuya.cc linked, uh, you can remove it :3

edit:// Empyrean also has a new layout.

email change update

Sun, 28 May 2006 07:08:53 GMT

aoi[@]geostigma.net
new email addy because the last one was spammed to death

Hiatus

Mon, 01 May 2006 05:22:54 GMT

All of my domains (blizzara.org, byakuya.cc, and geostigma.net) are on hiatus. I could give you a really long explination on why (or you could just read the one that's on there already), but I'm basically going to be too busy until the end of the year. Even though they've been siting around sometime, I wanted to give the domains a proper hiatus message, which I find a bit ironic. I'm got unlazy and prepared to be lazy. Um, if that makes any sense.

I do have some plans for what to do with geostigma.net, but I haven't quite decided yet. I'll make some form of announcement one way or another, so be sure to stick around. I'll also be making minor updates every once in a while, such as adding new members to fanlistings, fixing a few links here and there, etc. Whether or not I'll be making posts here or not is still undecided.

And Angie leires.net is now a b.org sibling!~

Erm, and if you haven't noticed, I gave both b.org and the update log a "Reno" theme. I was supposed to make a header for this one, but just gave up ._.

It's not of any relevance, but if any of you keep up with the jrock world (which would probably be none of you...), be sure to check out Zekkeishoku, alice nine's first full album, which is currently owning my soul. And they're the second jrock band I know of to name to name a song after a (less expensive) alcohol drink. The other being Gazette's "Cassis" =P

So yes, see all of you again this summer (hopefully sooner).

2 new affiliates

Tue, 18 Apr 2006 07:56:04 GMT

Blizzara.org has two new affiliates! Audrey from elric.nu and Jen from Kairi.net! I had the pleasure of meeting Audrey IRL at a Diru concert, and I've known Jen for quite some time :3 Welcome to the family ♥

I think that might be it as far as affiliation for goes blizzara.org =\ No massive updates today. Er, and fanlistings were updated :3

It lives!

Mon, 27 Mar 2006 06:31:50 GMT

Blizzara.org and all of its folders under it are back to normal now :) When the server went down, it turned out things went really screwy.

Existence of Nothing (and no, I couldn't think of a better name) went up yesterday. As like all my fanlistings, information and site info will be the last to go up. I'm planning to upload massive amounts of unnecessary information, media, and just about anything I can get a hold of that relates to the album. I've deceided that Astro Mechanic will be using phpfanbase simply because I have no free time to figure out how I made Enth work the first time. The contents are still lying around on my computer; it didn't work last time since my ftp wasn't working. I'm not sure what happened, but I think it was because I had made a connection to the IP address of the server, instead of ftp.geostigma.net (which is the base of my domains).

Speaking of Geo.net, I deleted my old entries in order to update wordpress. I'm in process of making a new layout, and it should be up sometime before the next update. I'm not sure what to do with it, but I can always turn it into a themed blog? Erm, I'll eventually figure out what to do with it.

diamond dust network down

Sat, 25 Mar 2006 04:35:30 GMT

Blizzara.org and all sites listed under that url are down (and have been for the past week). I'm having issues with the url, so please bear with me until they come back online :)

pointless update

Tue, 14 Mar 2006 01:09:12 GMT

If I ever tell you that I love webhostingbuzz because their serves don't go down, I'm lying.

Um yeah, this usually doesn't happen. Or if it did at one point, I didn't catch it. It's probably down for just maitenence though. I can't check email or any of the sort right now, since my account is down. So if you've emailed me at point these past few days, I'll get back to you asap.

Darn, and I had a lot of stuff to upload too D:

Delayed post

Fri, 10 Mar 2006 08:40:07 GMT

blizzara.org and Rough Divide have new layouts up. The layout for b.org is from a scrapped project (yes, it was scrapped! I still love Cloud, but if I wanted to make a shrine to an FFVII character, it might as well be Tseng or something. Plus, I need to finish all the other projects I've started.)

I'm thinking of sticking Astro Mechanics on Phpfanbase, even though I'm risking another hack. I might just use that until the summer, or whenever I can configure and use Enthusiast (translation: when I have the time to screw around with php for 10 hours straight... again).

A few close irl friends of mine also started iconpeople for stashing our icons. So if you'd like, you can join or keep it under watch, and that would be great :)

Statuses & Previews on projects
Dawn & Magnolias. fanlisting collective. I don't have very many fanlistings, so I'm not sure if I should keep this. All of the links on the side were working at one point, until my databases vanished D: Although, I'll admit I do like the layout (um, for once O.o;;)

Winter Grace. I think terra and atroquinine are the only two people who know about this? Anyway, It's a project I've been working on and off since... last year. It needs to go up. Soon. Embedding poetry into content and intertwining it was actually harder than I expected, despite how much I actually like Frost. Much of the site content, I think, is pretty incoherrent. I seriously didn't know what I was doing rambling about Centaurs and castles in France.

Powersoul. It was viewable at one point, I think. Anyway, I think this project has been put off the longest. d3athwish and I haven't had time to talk over things and work on it together since we're both busy with other stuff. Plus, we always end up having these crazy conversations about everything except Tifa when we talk about it over the phone @.@;; Expect to see some progress... around summer? x.x

Upcoming fanlistings: Oborozukiyo~Inori/Nakashima Mika (song); NIL/Gazette (album), just approved for that :D

Tue, 14 Feb 2006 01:49:39 GMT

Antihero has some new icons made by the lovely d3athwish!

Also, the Ratchet FL was submitted... this saturday? I swear I'll get a better layout up D: Red is a really hard color to work with, darn it!

Ah, that's about it =P I know that I haven't updated in about 2 and a half weeks, but I've honestly made no real progress with any of my sites. Not only do I not have the time to do anything, but I don't have any motivation either. I'm not really used to neglecting my sites, so I'm really sorry about all this :( Hopefully I'll convince myself to get off my ass and do something progressive. Until then~

J-rock high

Sat, 28 Jan 2006 06:50:51 GMT

Don't ask me what happened, but Blizzara.org has a new layout. I think I was delusional at the time since scaring away my visitors wasn't what I had in mind. I've been making layouts that aren't really my style lately. Speaking of layouts, I wonder if someone noticed that the last layout's description page wasn't updated? Where did it go? Nowhere really, it was sitting on my computer the whole time; I completely forgot to upload it =P I was thinking of changing the link on the main page that says "hell" to myspace.com just for the sake of it. But you know, it might... uh, offend people.

Fanlistings, fanlisting collective... Is down because my databases screwed up. I have to re-do everything, since they got deleted somehow (I'm assuming the server screwed up somwhere...). And because I can't figure it out how to switch it, older fanlistings are going to stay on PHP fanbase, even though I run a risk of being hacked again.

Since the databases messed up, geostigma.net's newest entries have been deleted :( I first noticed this when my previous layout was activated, and they realized that all the entires (well, just two) vanished.

If anyone was wondering where I was today, I was cuddling with my elmo plushie, and making this. I learned that if you have a lot of pictures to work with, and those pictures have variety, then you can make lots of icons of a particular subject @.@;; Because... it's hard making icons using the same Squall image over. Plus, it gives me a chance to practice icon-making (as well as using that nifty exclusion layer!).

I haven't been doing much website work lately; I'm usually running lots of random check-ups on my websites, a few updates here and there, and working on my projects. I had a lot of hw last week because of mid-terms, I've been playing a heap of games that I borrowed (I got nowhere with DMC3, and Dark Cloud 2 is taking ages to get somehwere), and I'm also pre-occupied with my current fandom (which involves a lot of picture-staring), which I might add, is pretty hard to kill. Hopefully I'll be back on track in no time xD
