Whats I"m Up To

10.08.2002

Well here I am, things have been going smoothly for the most part, done a little work here and there.

I totally overhauled the links page on the site, I thought it was too long and people don't like to have scroll down if they don't have to. So I wanted to find a way to maximize space yet still have plenty of links. I succeded only after messing with messing with many different ways of doing it, and then making it work. I used basic old tables, one table with other tables in it which let me have 2 tables next to each other so they would adjust to any size changes the window might make. But it took me forever to remember it, since overall I hate tables and avoid them at all costs. But this worked out good, I fit everything I wanted, organized it well, and added a LOT more stuff. But it took me a better part of the day to get it all done, just the silly links page, since I there wasn't a lot of long code to repeat I did it all by hand, and I went by the seat of my pants on how much stuff to put in. I actually think despite the fact i added more stuff it actually is a lot smaller in actual size.

Finished some of my Javascript assignments, we started with a basic "Hello" Script after that the theme the teacher chose for the assignments is a program that does Basic Trigonometry. Stuff like the Pythagorian Theorum and "deriving all the values from it.

Thats pretty nifty stuff overall. Finished watching a couple Anime's in the last few days.
Saber Marrionette J:
Story about guy named Otaru who ends up with 3 female robots called Marionettes except these 3 are special because they have emotions, and of course they all fall in love with him. They live on a world which is all men, since some survivors from Earth crash landed here, and all that survived were 5 men so through many generations of cloning and genetic manipulation they have perpetuated life on the planet for over 100 years. They created the Marionettes (which of course are all women) to do "women work" like cooking and cleaning. The Marrionettes or Sabers, since its a lot shorter, that this guy finds are somehow the key to bringing human females back to humanity. All the while trying to stop the invasion of one the other countries started by one of the original 5 men. The story is very Tenchi-esqe all the female robots want to have Otaru to themselves, which works better since there are only 3 of them to focus on and none of them are kindergardeners (sorry Sasami). The series is focused on action/comedy like Tenchi, the similarities are many, but I think this series executed the "we all love him" story better than Tenchi. The Story is a quick fun diversion, nothing too terrably deep, but the goofiness is amusing at times. And can be a little emotional at times. The series is heightened by the quality voice acting which really brings up the series. The cute/innocent voice of the character Lime brings a little smile to my face. Overall a fun little series, if you like Tenchi then this is definetly for you.

,hack//SIGN:
This series takes place entirely within the gameworld of a Massive Online RPG similar to Everquest, which presents some interesting characters designs masterfully provided by the same person as Evangelion. The story centers around a character named Tsukasa who discovers he can't logout from the game, not only that but he can suddenly smell, feel, etc, everything in this world. Also he can't seem to remember who he is and why he's stuck here. He meets other characters who get involved with him and try to help him. He asks himself, since I don't remember who I was, can i even be sure i'm a "he", what happens if I die in the world. And do I even want to go back to the real world. The series is told though mostly dialoge, not as many action scenes as one would think. But the series keeps you interested if not the compelling and twisting story, then the lush visuals and vibrant characters who are fleshed out very well. Not to mention the stellar music, the music alone turns what could have been a silly idea into a seemingly epic story. Animation is superb, Music is very good, Vocal work excellent, Story also excellent except for the ending which will leave many confused and to be honest a bit rushed. But despite that, this is my new favorite series. So I recommend it to anyone and everyone, I guerantee it will grab you or your money back (thank god its free)
Guess thats all I have for now laterz all Woo
