Site Updates

A few site updates:

- New banner
- New spoiler plugin
- New ‘popular posts’ section

The spoiler plugin works as follows: In a comment, you wrap the spoiler in spoiler tags to make it appear as a spoiler.

So, if you write this: <spoiler>You should not be able to see me!</spoiler>

It will look like this: Show Spoiler ▼

Also, the ‘popular posts’ section is in the sidebar, where the plugin in question analyses each post (number of visits, number of comments, how old it is etc) and gives it a value, then displays the top 10 posts in the sidebar.

Lastly, I got an external hard drive, though that is unrelated to this site. It’s only 250gigs though. If you don’t download much, you’d be thinking that’s plenty, but if you download all your anime and stuff, you’d know that’ll run out before long. And in other news, I converted two casual anime viewing friends into hardcore anime freaks! Ok, I was exaggerating, but now they’re following quite a few of the series I am now as opposed to a few episodes a month.

    Nice new banner, more colorful and “happier” than the old one.

    3 weeks to fill it. Not very big, but not very small…

    Hee, nice new banner, although I detest Asuka with almost every fiber of my being xD; Rei FTW~! Also very nice tough the the spoiler tags. Might steal that one myself xP And good for you, you joined the external HD club! ^^ Can’t watch anime without it. -noddles-

    Yeah Rei pwns Asuka 100 times over, but I still love pairing them together since it looks natural.

    >Shit 3 weeks? That’s 80gigs a week, 11gigs a day! What do you download???
    Yes, from 9 to 12 Gb a day… Anime & only Anime :). I deleted all games, music & movies to make space for Anime, and now I am working 7 days a week to buy one more 250-300 Gb HDD - I am tired of burning 4 DVD per day & want more space to store ongoing anime :).
    >And you can get the plugin here, since I can’t remember where I got it from..
    Thanks! =^_^=

    S-SHIT! Is there even that much anime to watch? And how the hell do you get the time to watch all that? And more importantly, what’s your internet plan and service provider!??

    Let’s say an episode is 200mb, unless you download uber high quality, that’s 50 episodes a day, and its physically impossible to get through all those eps unless you sleep for what, 6 hours? then watch for every second you are awake. Or maybe they’re just some crazy anime that are 1gig per episode or something >_>

    Oh and btw, I don’t think it’s possible but I’d sure like to see a list of your completed series. ^^;

    >S-SHIT! Is there even that much anime to watch?
    Sure :) ( AniDB in MyList: 13% - so I have a long-long way to go :) )
    >And how the hell do you get the time to watch all that?
    I do not :P I’ve watched only about 40% of what I have downloaded… And that’s only because I only started working 2 month ago & was completely free for more than 10 month after graduating :).
    >And more importantly, what’s your internet plan and service provider!??
    Georgia Online, 1.5 - 5 Mb/s, Depends on time, weather and hell knows what. But they are cutting UDP traffic, so torrents work terribly sometimes. 33$ month.
    >Oh and btw, I don’t think it’s possible but I’d sure like to see a list of your completed series. ^^;
    It’s possible :) - http://anidb.info/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=mylist&uid=75595 The ones I finished watching are marked “watched”, but i do not mark the ones I am still watching, even i have only one episode left :).

    >Wow…..Now I’m incredibly jealous! XD
    :( :P But on the other hand, you have time to blog. And I still have have to work for at least 2 weeks to buy a new HDD, and when I’m free I want to watch anime and can’t find time for blogging… *cries*

    [...] Just below that, add another line like this, assuming you’re using the same spoiler plugin as me, and it should work fine. Oh and by the way, the way you use the spoiler tags can be found here =) [...]
