To check for status changes or updates (like of the forum being moved), check [link] Information for accessing the IRC PackChat is also implied on there as well.

Some other details:

• This has no correlation with the effort of moving to a better server
• This does not at all mean that the forum is entirely lost or being put to an end at all.
• A backup was made of the whole forum database, and some of the forum files (some files that couldn't get backed up were some avatars or attachments, this is due to file permission issues with the hosting provider). Although, the update was made a few days ago, thus doesn't have the posts in the past few days (after the backup was made)

So then I started looking through the comments to that poll, and some of them were just "i liek the ol layout better. change it back". Thus apparently a portion of those whom are within that 26% seem to have issues with letting go of the past. If people really think the new deviantART layout is more complicated, then it deeply worries me how the users themselves even know how to use their own internet browsers...

There's also this itch I have that's telling me that some of them are still using Internet Explorer 6 as well... (note: IE 6 is 7 years old, just upgrade to version 7, or perhaps version 8 which is coming soon. Or best of all: use Firefox, Safari, or Opera).

Also, yes, there may be a few bugs here and there, but those will obviously be fixed. It's not like they'll just leave it that way. This is the stage of conversion called 'conversion hell', which is the stage when all the bugs are found and when people stop griping about it simply being different (which occurs only 3% of the whole year).

I'm looking at the layout right now and I don't see how it's more difficult. A lot of it is just moved around. Also, the page for showing recent messages and deviations from people you watch has been changed around. This is a feature, not an issue. I'm assuming there's a way where you can just go into the settings and revert it back to the traditional way if you really can't handle something that's more convenient.

[EDIT] I've also noticed a little trend. Apparently a majority of those that are sh*tting a brick about it are kids 14 years old and younger.

[SECOND EDIT] Apparently there was one of these fools who was like 14 years old and whom was trying to start a rebellion regarding the new layout. Whereas they wanted the deviantART staff to completely drop all their progress and just revert to the old layout since they said the new one was too confusing for them. Thus they were basically going through and agreeing with every comment about someone disliking a simple detail about the layout and asking them to help them rebel against the new layout. HOWEVER, luckily an administrator came through and cleaned up the pointless mess and banned the individual.

At least I'm finally out of school for the year and passed every class. I'm just working a lot more. Some days I've just been getting deeply stressed in general. Otherwise I came across something interesting of which my friend found, is something called "Pandora". It's basically an online music system in which you choose which songs you do and don't like, thus it'll try to stick to those types of songs and eventually replay the ones you implied that you do like. My account on there is at: [link] (though I doubt many people enjoy the type of music I listen to xP).

Basically you insert what song or artist you enjoy, and it tries to match it. It records that data as a "station", thus you can switch between what types of music you enjoy when you have separate stations. One thing to note, the services seem to be a little slow at first (or at least for me), thus you may have to just give it a couple minutes for it to register and so on.

Otherwise, yea, I've pretty much been working lately. I've mostly been stuck in my room throughout the break so far (though I'd obviously like to do more), but no friends seem to be interested to do anything nor do I even know if I have true friends.. And yes, I need to eventually somehow get out of the habit of writing these types of journals since it's pessimistic for the most part and since my own life is my owned damned fault.

And of course I'm sort of depressive, as usual. However I think I just recently got an interesting idea for a new deviation that I'm going to begin on soon. I'm thinking on writing a little story that I'll name "Merely Human". I haven't posted anything I've written on deviantART nor have I even really wrote anything. I honestly have no idea how it'll turn out. It'll be either a decent one or a very boring and purposeless story.

As explained above, I pretty much fail at posting anything on deviantART. Perhaps it's not one of my best things, I honestly don't know. As stupid as it may sound, suggestions are welcome. Even if it includes paying $20 for a monkey to ride on a tricycle.

Recently I've been on deviantART for a decent portion of the day, as well as Wikipedia out of my curiosity. However, I've kind of realized that I don't really have true friends. Which means: those who share your interests and that wouldn't make you feel odd for who you are. Apparently all of my real-life friends actually share barely any interests of mine or none at all.

I have a couple inside interests, whereas it's something that interests me, but I just don't talk about it. As for the friend thing, I have a cellphone (originally for business purposes), but nobody ever calls me, not even on my house phone. I'm never invited from a friend to do anything. Day after day I sit at my computer and work, since there's not much else to do...

I've kept growing more and more shy. I would love to draw certain things of my interests, but stupidly too shy to do so... if I try to draw something, it then just ends up being something senseless like doodles of stick people and random things, since I'm too shy to draw something more detailed of what I'd actually want to.

Oh well, Halloween is coming up as well. Most people probably are going somewhere or have something special planned for it. But I guess I have nothing in mind, so it's probably going to be like a typical day for me. Almost all of the leaves have fallen, and apparently I'm too pathetic to have taken any photography of autumn, which I've been dying to do for a while initially. I haven't posted a new deviation in ages, even though I'm on deviantART almost EVERYDAY now.

As for not having many true friends, one of the things I remember was when I was talking with someone else once. When I said something like "If my friends died, I don't think I'd be deeply depressed from it", and their response was "Then perhaps you don't have any true friendships." If someone threatened me with a gun to my head, I'd probably reply with something like "Go ahead, shoot".

My lack of true friends is probably the main reason for some of my interests to being inside interests. Mainly because I'd be too shy about those interests, when actually a true friend would be encouraging of it, and wouldn't think of you oddly because of it. When I try to talk about the interests with closer friends, I still usually get looked at oddly from them... And that's probably the second reason, is because - again - I am too shy about the inside interests, which then prevents me from getting friends who have the similar interests.

Oh well, I bet none of you read through all of it probably because I bored you all with my constant problems and lack of doing anything about it. And even how I didn't even say what some of the inside interests were... So I guess life is hell on my end for me. Sorry for wasting your time, that you could have spent doing something better.

In other news, I'm a /little/ less busy lately. On Saturday (October 13th) I took pictures for a friend of mine at a dirt biking/ATVing course the entire day. A handful of the pictures turned out nicely and I might post a few on deviantART. However near the ending of the day one of the rather professional drivers accidentally did a nose dive after going off a slope right into a two story hill and tumbled forward down the hill. The guy had went in and out of consciousness for a while, and had to be airlifted to a hospital. For all I know, the guy is alive and isn't terribly injury.

This week I have a short break starting on Wednesday for this week only. Hopefully I can get some of the pictures edited and distributed by then. I also tried to take my driver's permit test today, however they didn't allow me since I didn't have a birth certificate with me. However I will be able to do so tomorrow now that I have one.

Still doing like crap in art. A few days ago I thought I was finally away from depression, but that is apparently false since today things just loved to get worse. I'm slowly becoming more of a slum. And apparently I actually enjoy being away from others. Not many people seem to really give a damn, and most probably don't notice all... well I guess it would be more of the factor that NOBODY notices unless I specifically state it in front of them which I've only done to two people and through my previous journal.

I'd just love to sit in the corner of the room and continue pondering or something, but of which usually leads to dark thoughts anyway... And I can't do that, because if it isn't clear by now, I have to do a hell load of homework and essentially late work.

As of what the dark thoughts are, I wouldn't be able to exactly explain. It's just random visions that involve death, pain, and torment which has no correlation to anything in my life at all. It's not like thoughts in my favor (IE, wishing an enemy would die, etc) except in reverse and like it's simply a mental torment. My fear is simply to lose sanity as it seems. I feel like someday I'm just going to literally go crazy, but I'm assuming that's a few years in the future.

At least at the time I have the day dreams (or whatever you want to call it) I understand it's not truly real, otherwise I know I would probably get trauma or something from it. I also really wonder if I actually have 'real' friends, I know a lot of people, but +90% I haven't done anything with at all. 10% are friends that I did something with 1 or more years ago. Also, I'm always the one who requests to do something with a friend, they never call me.

So, what else is there to say? I believe that sums up the basics of my life currently...

]]> ~takyoji http://takyoji.deviantart.com/journal/14706637/ http://takyoji.deviantart.com/journal/14706637/ Wed, 19 Sep 2007 19:34:11 PDT
Usually every day I just feel like crap and get depressed later on in the day. I've been getting behind with everything, I'm freaking out. I've started to organize a little today however. Tomorrow I also have driver's education after school which means I'm going to be crammed in the school for a whole 10-hour day (from 7am-6:30pm).

Don't worry however, I'm not suicidal at all. And my depression isn't /very/ heavy. It's in-between as you could say. I also haven't done the best in my art class recently, since I lack any creativity/imagination. I'd love to start drawing, and I'm probably in the state of mind for drawing something. Problem is, I can't think of a single thing, so how am I ever supposed to draw? Quite impossible if you ask me. How am I ever supposed to progress within experience of artistic ability if there is strictly no creativity to start from??

I'm losing motivation, and so on. The most irritating part of the depression is that it is completely invisible. Sometimes it's there, and sometimes it isn't. I'm slowly becoming more of a complete slum. Want to know the next most pathetic thing in my life? Guess when the last time I did something with a friend. 4 days, 2 weeks, 4 weeks? Wrong. The last time I did something with a friend was actually A YEAR AGO. I enjoy programming, however I can easily admit this computer is screwing my life away. I practically do nothing now.. just working, complaining, and doing homework.

Oh well, at least my life should eventually get better, who knows. Nobody is probably reading this anyway, so I'm probably just writing a journal that's just wasting space in deviantARTs database system in an ironic attempt to satisfy myself. I honestly think I'm slowly starting to lack friends. And I'm just too damn shy to talk to anyone as it seems. Well, that concludes the journal of my current lifeless life.

[u]I'm also starting to work on some programming projects as well:[/u]
[b]Keen Manager[/b] - A customizable control panel system which can hold multiple control panels from different PHP programs. It can also be used for making a settings page for anything you desire. It will also have a module system (hopefully) so that plugins can be installed. It also uses a global template system so you can change the skin/layout of how the control panel looks. It will also be cross-compatible for most SQL systems. It will require at least one database and PHP 4 or 5.

[b]Free Market[/b] - A complex shopping cart software with too many features to list here. XD It will also have a management system which can be an installable application on a computer written in C#. It will be an essential tool with companies in the distribution chain. (Manufacturer sells to Distributor, distributor sells to contractor, contractor sells to retailer, retailer sells to customer). It will also have the ability of calculating shipping from a local warehouse which sells the product. Also allows to have seperate prices for each type of person so that it can all be done in the software. And I don't have much time to continue writing more...

And that's pretty much all. I also have to do some webdesign for [link] and [link] .

School has been going decent lately. 2 A's, 2 B's, 2 C's(grades). Also it's most likely that I won't do much any 3-dimensional renders recently as I have nothing to make. I've slowly been learning how to program in C# and have been working with Microsoft Visual C# Expression Studio. As well as slowly expanding on my PHP online store project. Hopefully I will have it complete someday so that I can release to the world for free use, so that there isn't just crappy ol' osCommerce which everyone uses. But still, it will be quite a lengthy project.

Other than that, I've been checking my deviantART account lately but haven't posted much work up until now. I also feel stupid that I don't reply to critiques/comments on my deviations quite oftenly, so I'm trying to return the favor. As well as comment on other people's work more.

Otherwise, in other news I've been quite busy lately still helping my brother with his business, as we are going to have a stand at the 2nd biggest fair of our state. We've been preparing for weeks and it’s about 10 days away. Thus, a few days after that I might be able to make some deviations if my creativity ever comes back.

At a camping ground on the shore of Lake Pokegama for 7 days. My family and my mother's side of the family(in town relatives) go to the same campground every year for about 5 years I believe. I hope to get some more interesting pictures. Some very good pictures that I taken from the campsite include:

I will be leaving on Saturday (6/17/06) and returning on possibly Friday (6/23/06). Thus I wont be able to access deviantART over that period of time. Thus I might go insane. Otherwise I hope to draw something or plan out a 3d scene during the 4.5 hour drive to possibly whip up another interesting deviation. ]]> ~takyoji http://takyoji.deviantart.com/journal/8805175/ http://takyoji.deviantart.com/journal/8805175/ Thu, 18 May 2006 07:01:02 PDT
1. I am trying to create an architectural scene with specific blueprints that I am currently working hard on when I usually get the spare time. I possibly might even animate the entire scene assembling, although I would have to upload that to a seperate server since I don't believe deviantART allows you to upload .avi's/.mov's/.mpeg's.

2. I am also trying to help with creating a 3D orientation film of my Middle School for the students that will be transfering to the middle school next year. And I recently have gotten breif blueprints of the building to do so. But this I'll have to really hurry on since I have 2 weeks left of school.

3. I'm trying to complete the 3D model of my brother's pond for his company really hard right now, but I've been cought up with a little homework along the way of doing so.

4. I am going to help display a concept art of every way the Media Center of my Middle School could be arranged, since they are going to rearrange it all for next year.

Otherwise, I've pretty much been asking if I could help people by doing these certain projects. Nobody has really came to me and asked. Otherwise the finalizing of the my brother's pond is considerably top priority at the moment.

I have about 1 1/2 weeks left of school, then I'll become much more productive! ]]> ~takyoji http://takyoji.deviantart.com/journal/8781301/ http://takyoji.deviantart.com/journal/8781301/ Mon, 15 May 2006 17:44:36 PDT
And I am also trying to help my brother start his pond construction company some more, for helping with making his logo in photoshop and editing his website.. not going to say the name of the buisness or show a URL to the website at the moment. And I have to help create his pond 3-dimensionally with 3ds max, which is slaving work, so I sometimes can tend to get off task.

Otherwise, I suppose there isn't a whole lot else going on. And I doubt anyone even visits my dA account ever. ]]> ~takyoji
