The Darkest Evil

I am selling a large amount of my shit because I need to raise $2440 Canadian. I know that selling my manga and a printer won’t get that all the money. In fact, I think I would probably get about $300 for all my manga and the printer that I am going to sell. Plus, it’s very unlikely that I am going to need to print something really soon. And if that doesn’t work, I am going to sell it to a pawn shop and a book store. I am probably not going to get a lot of money, whether I sell them on Craigslist or to a book store/pawn shop.

Basically, I wrote a post about Getsumen Toheki Mina a while ago and it’s been hit by people wanting to get the torrent for Getsumen Toheki Mina. I apologise if you feel cheated or deceived but I could not find any other torrents until today. Well, I’ve found about two Getsumen Toheki Mina torrents and I’ve included the links to the fan subbing groups below. (Shameless visit tactic for those using RSS readers or just reading the front page: you’ll have to view the full post.) (more…)

So, a couple of days ago, I was suffering from a major case of writer’s block. It happens. Sometimes, I get a lot of ideas for subjects and I start them out and save them as drafts or what not in WordPress. You’ve probably noticed this if you pay attention to the URL numbering in my blog in comparison to my blog’s content. It’s because I don’t want to lose those ideas simply due to the fact that it is highly unlikely that they will ever come back to me. Seriously. (more…)

I am working on a new film and yes, I am going to be working with some friends of mine to help make it. While I am still looking for a publisher for the book, I have decided to produce the film with Brave New Films, considering their films about bigger evils like Wal-Mart and Fox News. I am going to try to talk with the people at Chapters and at FMV to stock the books and DVDs (respectively), considering that this is a HUGE threat in Canada and abroad. (more…)

Over the next couple of weeks, I am going to explain my biggest rants about other people’s weblogs. I am going to bitch about everything that bothers me in the world of blogging from usability to design. From archiving to the software. And yes, I am even going to throw in rants about hosting, software and other stuff that just makes my skin crawl. And yes, I am very likely going to step on a few toes here and there, but this article wasn’t written to make friends. It is written to help improve the blogosphere. And yes, I will include screenshots of some examples.

Now that I have secured the name - I can announce my secret project. Yes, 15art.com was my secret project that I am talking about and it is still under development. It is a my personal portfolio and also includes programmes and plugins I have made - as well as a design portfolio, a manga style sketchbook, a couple of manga series that I have been wanting to do and it integrates with content on my blog here. It will do more in the near future but I am working to make sure it can handle THIS. (more…)

I was grocery shopping for the week near Dalhousie station and I had to purchase a lot of things to survive the week. I know that I had Vol. 2 when I arrived at Dalhousie, because I was reading it on the bus. And I know that some asshole now has it and that really makes me angry. I am not completely pissed since I still have Volume 1 and I can probably track another copy of Volume 2 down at another store or at Words & Pictures (probably). However, I don’t want to wait forever to get just one copy of Onegai Teacher. It usually takes well over 3 months for ANYTHING to come in at Words & Pictures. Come to think of it, where are the rest of my Love Hina DVDs? (more…)

Shaun Inman released Mint 2 and it looks GREAT! But there is a small problem - you have to pay to upgrade to Mint 2. In fact, you have to pay $19USD per licence and that can get to be pretty expensive if you own a large amount of licences. In fact, I will have to pay $95USD more to upgrade all of my licences to Mint 2. In fact, I really want to update all my licences to Mint 2 but I really only need 3 upgrades now. One for this site and one for my new project (coming soon) and one for theanime.net (yes, it’s going to launch soon - very soon). (more…)

We all have IRL friends that use some kind of shitty blogging system. This could be LiveJournal (or rather, anything by SixApart), Blogger, Xanga, b2 or even worse - MySpace blogs. When I talk to friends about WordPress and even how easy it is to set up a WordPress.com blog, there is one concern that they express. It is a valid concern so it kind of shuts me up, but shames me as well. This concern is usability and I see their reasoning behind it. WordPress’ Administration Control Centre is nice, but it could be better. So, it is time to make WordPress even more usable. This also renders the question - what IS Blackthorne? Is it something constant or is it something that changes with my whim and desire? (more…)

Well, I have been singing about it all the time here on this blog but you have seen little progress after I took down K2 and uploaded Sandbox. Basically, Blackthorne is still in development but I am aiming to release it to the blog next month, maybe mid-February. Bear in mind, however, that it is more than just a style. It is a revolution in the way you can navigate wordpress, from Archives to Single Posts. I am working really hard so that you can see what is possible through WordPress. However, there are a few things that I want to make clear about Blackthorne. (more…)
