State of the Site(s)

It seems that H-M has been down for a good week or so.

I’ll try to keep on blogging, at the least twice each month as it has been since over two years ago :)  For those who have continued to visit, I thank you.

That time off that I’ve had with Hidden Melody has gotten me thinking about the future, and I believe that in the upcoming months, I will be seeing a transition from Hidden Melody, which with all of the combined periods of being hosted by different places, have been at least four to six years, and even before that, it’s been probably five to six years since I’ve started having my own website, and about five since I’ve started coding HTML and CSS, which I do say, have been pretty much hand-coding my little projects since that time, which would mean that I was 14-13 years old.  Of course I’m just guessing, although I do recall that I’ve never did any WWW-related stuff on windows 98 SE, and only after getting XP I started. :3

Well, I think that I should stop rambling on now, and just have to do a little self-promotion of sorts:

My remote development server that’s hosted by a friend is at http://azuretan.mine.nu/; Quite possibly if you visit it right now you might see my upcoming personal site.

Which now brings me to another rant, after the jump.

And thus came the end of the school year… (April)

Note: this was originally meant to be posted sometime in April, but I seemed to have forgotten about it, so here it is anyway, and also WLW works with Wordpress 2.5 now!~

The year overall, has been pretty good.  I’ve had some trips, falls, and a pitfall or two, but I think I pretty much survived the school year without (much) scathing.  The thing is, I still have a week d^_^b; and I have three major projects due, as well as another project that a group that I’m in did for our client.

But anyway, I will continue posting at the least twice every month (as required by my host’s original rules.)

Speaking of which:

These are two folders in my root.  /test/ comprises of old website tests and whatnot that I’ve done in the past year or two, and /dumpbox/ is newer, consisting of different things that I just dump in there such as bits of VB code, pictures, website designs, etc.  The /dumpbox/mitemite/ (mitemite being Japanese for "Look, look!") is where I sometimes post random photos for sharing.  Feel free to look around in there.

Back to the topic at hand.

I am really hoping that I do pass (which I always seem to, mostly, except for that one time in grade 11 [two years ago this year]) so I’ll manage a way through, no matter what. d(^_^)z

And one last thing before I sign off for the night… I am hoping to finally get that new website finished this summer, which is going to be one of my many little projects and goals planned (another being a Pringles "[can]tenna." I do not think I’ll be getting an actual domain YET, so of course, it’ll be hosted here on my current web space, and I’ll of course integrate Hidden Melody in, so in other words it’s going to be Hidden Melody 3.0 with more content for you to browse through.  Of course, mind you, that it’ll probably never get done anyways, and in that case Hidden Melody will stay as is.

So good night, and have a wonderful evening!

An ultra-short history lesson and a plan for the future

For the past two years that this blog has been running, I’ve made 232 posts (this being my 233rd.) most of them being about my daily life.  However my post count has been going up and down (mainly down) as you can see in the graph below:

There was one point where I made ~28 posts in December of ‘06, I’ve already mentioned that I did “the Twelve Days of Christmas” for 12 days up to Christmas day, that’s why there’s an abnormal spike in post count ;)

Anyway, I need to say this:  I haven’t been really motivated to post about anything, especially since most of the time when something DOES happen, I just don’t think about posting about it.  I also find that I post to my Twitter more often now, not sure… maybe this could be the demise of the blog? I guess we’ll see in several years.

More after the fold.
