Millennial Fair – Updates Log

To keep the main page from getting cluttered with updates, all of our past updates will be listed here, so that everyone can browse through them to see what they missed and when things happened.

Past Updates:

 

Updates from 17/12/2004 to 12/09/2004

17/12/2004: Today I added a Picture Gallery with 16 high-resolution scans for the sexy Sowelu. I also updated BoA’s Discography with her new single MerryChri.

15/12/2004: Sorry for letting everyone wait for a new update; things have been quite busy for me. Anyways, as you can see from the banner at the top of the page, I have made a special download section for Ayumi Hamasaki’s new album My Story. I also updated the information for Sowelu, which iclude the details of her 2nd album, SWEET BRIDGE. I also changed the layout for the lyrics pages, added lyrics for the following songs: Glisten, Lovin’ You, and AFTER ALL. I also made some minor changes to existing lyrics, get out the new pages (Kanji|Romaji).
With the release of Aya Ueto’s third album Re. we also added the first lyrics pages for this young superstar! Check them out in their Kanji and Romaji version. I am also doing my best to put up the lyrics for her first two albums, so please be patient.

01/12/2004: I am back from my vacation in Los Angeles, and I hope everyone had a good time during their Thanksgiving breaks, I certainly did, and I will post the pictures of my trip soon enough. As always, a new wallpaper has been uploaded for this month, which you can see above the updates on this page. I also got to work on the Music section again, and added a lot of pictures for BoA and Aya Ueto. Go and check them out now.

23/11/2004: The Music section has been renovated as you can see. I also added a page for BoA, which includes a Wallpaper Page and Japanese Discography. I also added lyrics for two new Sowelu singles, I Will & Last Forever, the Kanji versions can be found on this page. From now on you can also read about updates and new releases on the music page directly.
Last month I also joined the affilates program with YesAsia, which will help me cover costs. It only works if you use the links on our site to buy items, for which Millennial Fair gets a 10% comission. More about this will be posted at a later time.

26/10/2004: As you might have guessed, I am making a section for Jpop Queen Ayumi Hamasaki. I already have a lot of Wallpapers of this pretty woman, and I am working on completing her Discography. I also remodelled Aya Ueto’s Discography with new source codes to make it look neater, I also provided links to where you can buy her albums online! In addition to all this I have also changed my Computer Art Page. I removed the wallpapers that I was already hosting on other parts of the site, and upload two entirely new wallpapers, so go take a look right now!

25/10/2004: I am really sorry for the lack of updates. It has been a really busy time for me, and it’s only getting busier from here on. I will try to complete some more pages this coming week. Most of my time has been spent on looking for mistakes I made on various pages and also renewing some of the older codes that I did. You might notice some changes here and there.
I did however have time to update our Language section. As you can see on the page, I uploaded practise sheets for Hiragana and Katakana, as well as an essay on the Pronunciation & Usage of Hiragana.

13/10/2004: The site has finally been moved to the new server. We got a really good deal actually, so we probably will not have to worry about bandwidth overage every month. The new server will allow me to explore new options for Millennial Fair, such as the planned conversion to PHP. I set up a spam filter for my email, but since it is rather aggressive you might want to resend your email if it has not been answered after a week.
I have also completed a lot of song lyrics for our Sowelu page. You can find them in kanji here, and for Romaji you can check here. We have also set up a new section called the Wallpaper Archives, this is where you will be able to find all the monthly wallpapers without the calandars on them. Expect more updates very soon.

01/10/2004: As you can see, the new monthly wallpaper is already available. I have been working a lot on the music section, and I have completely redone our pages for Utada Hikaru. We now have the complete, Discography, new Wallpapers and a brand new introduction on her main page. Once we move to the new server I will begin working on a totally new download section for our music entertainment, so stay tuned everyone.

26/09/2004: For those who are interested in being a Millennial Fair affiliate, you should take a look at this page. This program is absolutely free and available to any website that meets our criteria.
Also, you might have noticed our advertisement for Heroes of Chaos at the top of the page. This great simulation has just started its second season, and signups are still open. This is a great opportunity to learn more about Ancient China and interact with many people in a friendly enviroment. I also play this simulation as Fa Qi, the ambitious and ruthless general of Kan Xiu. Do you think you have what it takes to survive in a world of Chaos?

24/09/2004: The next week or so I will be working on the Music Section, improving and remodeling old pages and adding new ones. You will frequently see new banners and features. Right now I have uploaded pages for three new artists: Aya Ueto, Sowelu and Park Ji Yoon. Their sections all have content, but more will be added soon. Check out Sowelu’s Discography page and download her new single: I Will, which is the 4th ending song to the anime Fullmetal Alchemist. We also have a photobook online for Aya Ueto, with a whopping 100+ pictures.

20/09/2004: We added some beautiful hand-drawn artwork to our art section today, courtesy of Francisco Richard. Check out this talented young artist and his great works! I also added a drawing of my own right here.

15/09/2004: I finished another Language lesson, part 4 of Japanese for Beginners: The Copula (to be or not to be). I also uploaded 25 (!) new poems to the Creative Writing page. Please keep submitting your poems and other creative works because we love them! I also messed up on the link to the monthly wallpaper, but it’s fixed now.

12/09/2004: Today we celebrate the fact that since October 2003, Millennial-Fair has had over 275,000 visitors and 9,000,000 page hits! Our bandwidth and activity have really increased since last year when I gave the site an HTML make-over. I’m very proud of our accomplishments and for that I have also made a brand new top banner for you guys to enjoy. We are also providing a Wallpaper of the Month for our visitors. The wallpaper will have a calendar on it, making it perfect for an office, of course I make sure the wallpapers are eye candy as well. Starting October we will most likely switch to a different web host. I'm not entirely sure yet, but I will let you guys now.
I have fixed a broken link that has eluded me for quite some time. The Gameshark Codes Page for Valkyrie Profile was missing a link to the different values. Those broken links have been fixed and you can now reload those pages for a good result. Sorry for the delay everyone.

 

Updates from 08/18/2004 to 04/06/2004

08/18/04: I completed another Japanese lesson and have put it on the Language Lesson Page. Also, I have uploaded a lot of screenshots for Full Metal Alchemist, check them out here.

07/27/04: My laptop is back from repairs so I can continue with updates. However, I will be on vacation for the next four weeks, so updates will not be here untill much later. In the meantime I set up two new Utada Hikaru pages. One for her new Japanese single Dareka no Negai ga Kanau Koro and one for her new english single, which is also a preview for her next english album Exodus, Easy Breezy. Both pages contain lyrics and downloads.

07/04/04: Happy 4th of July everyone! I hope you all enjoy the fireworks in your hometown without too many injuries. Anyways, a while ago I finished our Xenosaga Episode 1 section. Everything is thee! Check out the Characters Page, Fanart Section, Official Art, Review, Strategy Guide, Screenshots Page, Soundtrack Page, Song Lyrics Page and lastly the Tips & Tricks page. I will be working on the content for Episode 2 very soon.

06/19/04: Wheh, after a long legal struggle with my ISP, I finally have access to the internet again and can finally do some updates. As you can see from the banner just above, our La Pucelle: Tactics section is nearly completed. We are missing a few character arts and the Strategy Guide is about 60% done. However, I promise that I will complete that in the near future. The section includes a Characters Page, Information Page, Original Art Page, Fanart Page (including two wallpapers that I made), Game Review, Tips & Tricks Page, Soundtrack Page, Screenshots Page and of course the Strategy Guide. We are still looking for people to contribute the Song Lyrics for this game, so if you have them, please email . More updates will be posted soon!

04/29/04: I took some more pictures with my Canon Powershot G3 today, and I uploaded them to the server. Take a look at them here. In addition, there are also 11 new pictures sent in by Marc Weijs, you can find them on the same page. I also took the time to add all the previews from Trigun to the Episode Guide on the request of one of our viewers. Also, you can now download the Gravitation TV Art Book from our site. Be gentle with the downloads please, and only download the file once. The scans are excellent quality.

04/28/04: Today was such a nice day outside that I decided to take some pictures of the flowers in and around my house and would share them with you. You can find 17 new digital photos on the Photography Page. I also made a new Photoshop tutorial on Macros so take a look if it interests you.
Also, for those of you who are interested in Three Kingdoms related history, I have made a new addition to Millennial, with a new sub-domain. It is called Tsubame no Hikari, and is located at http://hikari.millennial-fair.com. That part of the site is under heavy contruction, but it will be a huge resource database for people, especially those who are translating SGZ.

04/23/04: I added a really nice looking World Map for Final Fantasy VII. I also uploaded a huge walkthrough (in two parts) as text files for the same game, you can find them on the Strategy Guides page.

04/22/04: Added a new anime to our site: Sensei no Ojikan (Teacher’s Time). For now, it only has two pages, one for the Characters and one for the Song Lyrics. More pages coming soon.

04/16/04: I have finished making the layout for our friends at Empire Divided. The site itself is currently under construction, so be sure to check it again later on. Our Links page now have two more links and also has 4 very cute link buttons so that you can link to Millennial Fair. Some of you may have noticed that we can no longer access our forum. This is because the person responsible for paying the yearly cost has not done so. I would love to pay for it myself, but I simply don’t have the money for it, and there has been no donations so far to cover our exceeding bandwidth either. This means that soon, I will be manually de-activating all remote linking to files on Millennial Fair.

04/06/04: I have started work on revising our Language Page. So far I have redesigned the Japanese lessons, and added some new lessons. You can now find them under Japanese for Beginners, Chapter 1: The Japanese Alphabet, Chapter 2: Basic Greetings, Chapter 3: Basic Sentence Structure, and finally Learning Kanji Grade 1.

 

Updates from 25/08/2003 to 25/03/2004

03/25/04: The entire site layout and CSS has been revised and updated, so that there will not be any problems with older browsers such as I.E. 5 and Netscape 4. I added the page for Xenosaga , which includes a Official Art, Character Information and Soundtrack information. There are episode screenshots for three more Cowboy Bebop episodes. We also added a new section for the games, which is the Retro Gaming, which already has reviews for Chrono Trigger and Bahamut Lagoon. I also added a Survival Guide for Xenogears. For Photoshop lovers, I took some time to make two new tutorials! They are for Color Management and Layers. You will also see that I removed the “Coming Soon” section, and made a new nice quick menu to various things in our entertainment section.

03/01/04: A large silent update was performed by me. Though most of you will not really see any difference, this update should eliminate any problems with older versions of internet explorer. I also updated our top banner, because I feel that we needed a new look.
I added one new wallpaper to my computer arts page. If you like War of Genesis III, you should definately take a look.
I also made picture galleries for both Faye Wong and Utada Hikaru. There are 56 pictures of Faye, and 32 for Hikki. I will post more of them in the near future.
The page for Names and Terms from Norse Mythology is coming along nicely. It still needs a lot of work so please do not email me about the broken links unless the link does not follow any of the names indicated at the top of the page. If anyone wants to help out, let me know.
I will continue with some more silent updates of the source code of our site, as well as get rid of some files that do not have a purpose anymore. Now that I finally have all my anime DVDs back (they were in the mail for a long time -_-) I can start adding new anime content soon! Please don’t forget to read the donation page to see if you can help me out.

02/01/04: Happy New Year everyone! Unfortunately, the new year has not been kind to our server. We had more than 11 GB more bandwidth usage in December alone. This means that I got fined by our host, which I wasn’t too happy about. For this month, we have already used up 2 GB, and that is 25% of our allowed bandwidth. I will see what measures I will have to take. For now, most downloads have been taken offline. If the bandwidth issue is resolved, I will put them back up. I really enjoy hosting this site, but I can’t keep paying fines. If you are interested in helping me out, you can take a look at the Donation Page. Donators can get exclusive access to our FTP server, so go take a look now!

06/12/03: With only a week left before my move, I have very little time for everything else, yet I still found time for Millennial Fair. I put up a quick page for my own personal Computer Art page, with Wallpapers and banners that I made for fun. I also completed the screenshots page for Trigun, which was a lot of work, but we have screenshots for all the 26 episodes! A new anime was also added as promised: Full Metal Alchemist. This section is just getting started, but we are the first site to actually have 7 downloadable songs from the Soundtrack! Look at the Full Metal Alchemist Music Page for more information. This will probably be all I can do, I hope I can be back soon after I move.

16/11/03: I squeezed in some time to make a new page for Magic: The Gathering, and add the first fan deck: Elvish Guile & Terror. More to come to soon! For those of you who want to know, I will be leaving for California on December 14th.

10/11/03: While still being very busy with my moving to California, I was able to make some changes here and there. Sam completed the Discography for Utada Hikaru, and I was able to put up all the Romaji Song lyrics for all her albums. As you can also see, I added some new things to come soon to our site that you can look forward to.

19/10/03: I renewed our contract with our host Burton Hosting, so we are good for another year. I will be away most of November and December because I am moving to California. During that time I will have no room for Millennial Fair. My computer has been quite messed up as well, so I need to get a new one to continue all my work. But not everything is bad news. I put up a download page for Utada Hikaru’s new single Colors! I hope everyone enjoys the song and video, and will hopefully be motivated to buy her single CD. I have done some small renovations here and there, because there were some issues with Mozilla/Netscape that needed to be solved. I have put up a page for Final Fantasy Tactics Advance , and pretty soon I will start on a guide for it as well. I also worked on our Cowboy Bebop Section, I wrote reviews for the first two CDs on the Music Page, and I started putting up all the Lyrics for the songs as well. I hope everyone can be patient with this busy webmaster. I will try to answer all the emails that I forgot as well. Thanks for the understanding! ^_^

11/09/03: For the time being, there won’t be any updates for Millennial Fair. I will take time off to completely evaluate my investment and its possibilities. Meanwhile, I will focus on my personal life as well as my education. Our forum will still be open for comments and discussion.

07/09/03: Quite a lot of work has been done for our Cowboy Bebop page. I added both Screenshots as well as Episode Guides for the first five episodes of Cowboy Bebop. In addition, the screenshots are also catergorised by characters, and soon I will add mechs. I also made a new page for our resident bounty hunters, which features ISSP descriptions of your favourite Villains. The Information Page was updated with information from the first DVD, as well as some fun facts on Cowboy Bebop. The Music Page also received a small update, as it now has all the albums as well as an intro. You may also notice that some of the banners have changed, and I will keep doing that untill I am satisfied with all of them. That’s it for now, see you next time, Cowboy!

30/08/03: Today is a day of song and rhyme. Well, actually it’s just about rhyme for the time being. We had quite a few poetic contributions today, and I am very pleased to see that people are willing to share their creative work with our viewers. First off is a poem by one of our readers, Insecurity and unfulfilled dreams by thedeadpoet. Next is a collection of poems by my lovely friend Jen (Mei Zhen), which are called Dream, Immortal, One with Me, Saturday and Untitled. Mei Zhen is also a moderator and member of our forum, so you could talk to her, or any of the other staff members on there if you want to offer feedback or just plainly want to have fun talking to us. More updates coming later today. Have a nice day, and work hard, people of California. ^_^

27/08/03: I decided to do more work on the Music Page of our Games section. I added OST listings for a couple of games, such as Grandia, Grandia II, Brave Fencer Musashi, Breath of Fire III, Breath of Fire V, Lunar: Eternal Blue, Final Fantasy X and Chrono Trigger. In addition, I added reviews for Grandia Original Soundtrack I, Grandia Original Soundtrack II, and Grandia Arranged Soundtrack. I also started adding downloadable front and back covers for many of the soundtracks (so far, I have them for the BOF III OST, BOF IV OST, Brave Fencer Musashi OST, CT OSV, CT’99 OST, FF7 OST, FF8 Piano Collections, FF9 OST, FF9 Melodies of Life, FF9 Piano Collections, Grandia OST II, Grandia OST I, VP OST, VP Arranged, Xenogears OST and Xenogears Creid.)

24/08/03: Yes, August 19th has passed and I am now 21 years old (..great). Amyways, I took some time to finally clean out and update the Music Page of our Games section. In addition, I made a Lyrics page for the Final Fantasy games, as well as a page for Sonic Adventure: Songs with Attitude Vocal Mini–Album, which includes lyrics for each song. Finally, I addded a Review for the Valkyrie Profile Original Soundtrack. In the meantime, Sam has started on a new Games section for Metal Slug X, and we have already uploaded the pages for the Characters and the Strategy Guide. Lastly, I did my best to get as much Official Art, including Amano art for the Final Fantasy VIII page, and Sam added a page for Tips & Tricks.

 

Updates from 13/08/2003 to 01/11/2002

13/08/03: While resuming my work on the Breath of Fire IV Strategy Guide, I found some time to do the pages for the Official Art and the Fanart. I also did some work on Final Fantasy VII, and uploaded the pages for Screenshots, Fanart and added some new artwork, including Box Art and Amano art on the Official Art Page.

10/08/03: Whew! We are back from vacation and we have the site running smoothly again. If you were waiting for an update, get ready! Because we have a lot of new stuff to bring you.
Starting at the Anime section, we updated the Gravitation page with Information on the voice actors. The Trigun section also got an Information page, to which we will add information on voice actors soon enough.

Heading towards the Games Section, we are proud to show off our completion of the Valkyrie Profile section. This means that we added pages for Characters, Fanart, Information (including voice actor bios), Gameshark codes, Official Art, Reviews, Strategy Guide, Screenshots, Soundtracks, and finally Tips & Tricks. I am now starting to complete the content for Breath of Fire IV. I have already completed the Soundtrack page, and I am working on the Indepth Character biographies as well as a Strategy Guide. The Final Fantasy VII page was updated with a Review by my good friend Jonathan Womack. I added a page for the Final Fantasy VIII Soundtracks, and Sam made sure that the Final Fantasy IX page now has a Official Art section, a Review and updates for the Guides & Quests. That’s it for this small update, you will hear from us soon.

30/06/03: While me and Sam are on vacation, there won’t be a lot of activity here, but we worked hard the last few weeks to update the site for you. The Anime section received a big update. New pages were added for Princess Mononoko, and Sakura Wars, and the latter includes in an Official Art and Wallpaper page.

The Guides page received 6 new sidequests, including a Summon Materia Guide and a Weapons Guide. Lastly, Sam did a Tips and Tricks section, which contains a few spoilers, but will help you get underway with the game without a complete guide.

09/06/2003: The new style for our forum was completed today, as well as a historical biography of Erwin Rommel, a German Officer and famous strategist, and one of my favourite generals, the Japanese Fleet Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto. This week I hope to add more biographies, and maybe some other surprises for the Academics section. To help me with the coding for Millennial Fair, my lil bro Billy has joined the staff!

01/06/2003: After a long time of silences comes another update. The Language page was updated with the first of many Japanese language lessons.
The Music page has two new artists featured on it! Instead of Asian artists, we have Özlem Tekin, and the winner of the year’s Eurovision Song Contest: Sertab Erener! In addition, I started work on lyrics pages, as you can see, both the pages for Özlem Tekin and Sertab Erener are missing some lyrics. If you can help us find them, please Jonathan Wu about it. For the time being, you can also download Sertab’s European album to see if you like it!
For the Games section, Sam updated the Final Fantasy IX Side Quests page, and on the Anime side, he started construction of the Characters Page for Cowboy Bebop.

03/05/2003: Today we want to welcome the latest addition to our wonderful staff, my lovely sister Jaime Brownyard! Jaime is an artistic talent and one of my sources or personal motivation, welcome aboard sis!
The Original Art page was fully revised, and now contains art from six different artists! I am still playing around with the definate lay–out so it may change a few times. Our Anime section received another great update. This time, we added pages for the Vision of Escalowne, Outlaw Star, and Samurai–X! In addition, Sam wrote a Characters Page for the Trigun section.
Our music section also has a great addition, with Sam’s help, I was able to put up the Lyrics Page for Rockin’ the Suburbs, one of Ben Folds’ albums. My lovely sis Jaime was also kind enough to write an introduction to the Technical sides of Photography.

04/09/2003: The Consensus Page was finished and uploaded. Please take a moment to look it through, because it has important information regarding the use of this site.

04/08/2003: Before I start this update, I have an important announcement to make regarding Millennial Fair’s future. Some of you may know I was considering to quit web design and focus on other things. However, that took a turn–around when Sam offered to start a Forum with me. I have had the opportunity to think on matters, and with the help of Sam, Millennial Fair is going to reach new heights. Thus, Sam will not just be my partner on the forums, but also here. Take a look at the new Staff Page to see the changes.
With Sam’s help, I was able to make Millennial Fair a finished product. This means that there are no more broken links, and no more coming soon pages. This great news! We are also considering a new partnership with Kongming’s Archives , so we will keep you posted on that the coming weeks.
Now for the rest of the update, starting from the top, the Academics needed some fixing, thanks to the tip from James. Our Language section was updated with my Introduction to Japanese. The Original Artwork Page has been launched with the drawn art of three of our artists, take a look!
Our Photography section was also completed, starting off with a great collection of pictures by our friend James, who also has the most adorable pictures of kittens you will ever see!
The Games section was also greatly updated. Sam updated the Final Fantasy VII Strategy Guide, and also put up the SeeD Test Answers for Final Fantasy VIII. The Game Music and Soundtracks page was completed, and I added the Final Fantasy Black Mages Page, along with a review for it.
Moving on to Anime, Sam wrote the intros for Trigun and Cowboy Bebop, and more content for both animes will come soon, I also made a nice banner for both. ^_^
Last, but not least, Sam wrote the intro to the Ben Folds section. Ben is a great artist, and we hope to give the music section a little more attention the next few weeks. Well that’s it for this small update. See ya soon!

03/31/2003: Our update today brings many great things. First, we start off with a new addition to the Games section, being the Final Fantasy 7 Page, which includes an Indepth Character Guide, and a whole page full of Guides and Quests, all written by my friend Sam. Next, Robb completed Disc 1 of the Final Fantasy VIII Strategy Guide! Finally, I uploaded Iwan’s essay on Spartan Trade and Agriculture. Next week I will be absent for the most part, so another update may take a week. Thanks for understanding. ^_^

03/25/2003: “It is time,” the walrus said, “to talk of many things, and the first is an apology.” I am sorry for not being here for so long, but life has been extremely busy. I got a new job, had to pay bills, manage my personal life and also help Sam set up the forums. As you can see above, Millennial Fair now has an official forum called Radical Dreamers. We hope that a lot of people will sign up and join the discussions. If you have questions, you can email or Sam.

03/04/2003: My computer has been giving me a headache for about a week now. From crashing constantly to problems with Explorer. I might have to reinstall IE, or even Windows. Since I start my new job this week it will be a while before I have time for this. Sorry for everyone who has been waiting for updates. If I haven’t answered your email yet, I will probably do so in the weekend.

02/26/2003: I know, I have been away for a while, and with good reason. For the past few days I have helped James with the new lay–out of Kongming’s Archives, as well as revising my own work on his site. I have also been sick constantly and have been sleeping a lot more, thank god. Today we have updated the Academic writing page with Iwan’s List of Spartan Terms, as well as a collection of links to my work on other sites. Robb updated the Final Fantasy VII Strategy Guide, and the Links Page has been completed as well. I apologize for the lack of updates and I will make up for it soon. Last but certainly not least, I want to welcome my dear friend Patricia as new Staff member. She will be helping me with the games section, and has already written a review for Morrowind: The Elder Scrolls III. We will also set up the new X–men Evolution page soon, so keep a lookout for it!

02/14/2003: I have been busy lately and feeling sick as well, therefore my work on Millennial Fair will have to get set back a bit. I uploaded my essay, the Rise and Fall of the Imperial Han, prepared the Game Reviews Page and added Bill Wixon’s review of Battlefield 1942. On another note, our Game Master Robb is celebrating his 17th Birthday today, Congrats Robb!

02/12/2003: Although you might not notice it, I worked for hours on the site today, and I finally have all pages verified to be compatible with XHTML 1.0. This means all the code on Millennial Fair should be correct. Also, there was a problem with older broswers (IE 5.5) that should be solved now, some changes were made in the CSS, so if you are using IE 5.5, please clear your cache and reload this site. If there are still problems, please me so that I can fix the problem.

02/11/2003: Before we begin this update, let’s welcome Richard as our new staff member, welcome aboard! The Gundam Wing page has been uploaded and the Chracters page is almost completed, me and Richard will keep adding things to it this week. The Games section was updated with the Breath of Fire IV page, the Valkyrie Profile page, the Grandia page, and the Final Fantasy VIII Indepth Character Page. Aditionally, the Final Fantasy VIII and the Final Fantasy VIII Strategy Guide received new banners, yay!

02/08/2003: Whew! Another update done! I forgot to make the Final Fantasy VIII page, but it’s here now! Also, Robb added some more chapters to the Strategy Guide. The art section is finally getting some attention from me, the Computer Arts index page was uploaded, as well as the First Photoshop Tutorial! If you are starting out with Photoshop and don’t know where to begin, our tutorial is a good place to start! I hope you enjoy using it as much as I enjoyed making it.

02/04/2003: My ISP went down for a full 24 hours, and I am therefore late with my update. I uploaded the Brigandine page, and started on the Strategy Guide. The Xenogears Soundtrack Page, along with the lyrics for Small Two of Pieces and Star of Tears were also completed. The Final Fantasy VIII Strategy Guide received an update from Rob, and I added another chapter to my Xenogears Strategy Guide. My Xiang Yu biography was edited and uploaded, enjoy reading it! Teresa Teng’s page was completed and uploaded, I hope my humble biography helps people appreciate the brilliance and importance of her music.

02/01/2003: Happy Chinese New Year everyone! Gong Xi Fa Cai! We are starting the new Lunar year with more additions to our site, first let us welcome Robb as our new Staff member. Presenting a new story: Words can’t express by my good friend Shem Bennett, based on a real life story. One of the best stories I have read in the last few years, check it out to see for yourself.

I will continue working on it this weekend, I might make some changes with javascript for better view, but we will have to see about that later. I took the liberty to check our site for XHTML validation. If you follow the link at the bottom of the page you can see for yourself.

01/22/2003: Fixed a lot of broken links in the anime section, all the menu links should work now (for the entertainment section at least). Started construction on our Music section and wrote the introduction to Utada Hikaru’s page.

01/13/2003: Today was a busy day for me, as I had to entertain a few guests so all I could do is put up two new link banners for Project A–ko and You′re under arrest! I will continue tomorrow, and resume the work on the Anime section.

01/12/2003: I have been working on the Anime section. The temporary index file is up, and I will continue working on the Gravitation section. Mistakes in the html will be fixed along the way.
