Recent downtimes

11/06/2007

My hosting provider recently moved their NOC from one state to another; no move ever goes smoothly, and they have been fighting various issues for the past week. Unfortunately, there is no way to predict when these downtimes will occur; if you find the site down, try again in an hour or two. Hopefully, they'll have the remaining issues sorted out this week.

Behold the custom YouTube player!

10/29/2007

YouTube continues to roll out new features, and the latest one, custom players, makes life for this lazy webmaster a bit easier. Instead of having to manually rotate the video on the homepage, I can now display a custom player that displays an entire playlist of videos. Makes it a lot easier to shuffle videos around, add new ones, etc. So, I should have no excuse to keep that front page content fresh.

On a side note, I hope to get back into watching the third series and finish writing up summaries for the episodes. Keep your eyes peeled, as I won't be announcing every new episode posting. I'll be posting them as I go along.

Back to school refresh!

08/19/2007

Finally overhauled the design of the site, and I have transitioned to a new content management system. That last bit won't mean a thing to the non-web geeks in the audience; however, it makes my life a lot easier in terms of managing content and giving the site a make-over now and then.

Still trying to work out a few server configuration issues, so the site may be unreachable at points. Try back in a few minutes, and you'll be all set. Hopefully will have all of these issues ironed out in the next day or two.

Full review/overview of latest PS2 game

05/11/2007

Finally pushed through the entire game and completed Lupin niwa shi o, Zenigata niwa koi o; still trying to get an S rating on every episode, but I'm through the entire story now. I've written up a more complete review/overview of the game; I highly recommend picking this game up and hope this review will clearly explain why.

Upgrade woe

03/14/2007

Didn't spot this until now, but the upgrade of the CMS software of the site broke the pagination on the second and third TV series listings. There doesn't seem to be an official patch for my version, but the forum community had a home-grown fix. So, things should be back to normal; if you see any other problems, let me know. Apologies for any inconvenience.

Happy New Year! Image galleries are back!

01/17/2007

Happy New Year one and all! It has been quite some time since I've last updated the site, but I've begun adding back image galleries to the site. If you follow my blog, you know that I've started using a nifty image gallery library on it.

Now, this site uses it as well; I've added galleries for the various anime series that I've personally captured images straight from the DVDs. More will be coming over time as I go back through my DVDs. The best just keeps on getting better. ;) Hope you enjoy!

Obscure game for an obscure system found

08/30/2006

Eventually, everything tangible in the world will have at one time been up for bid on eBay. Astute followers of Lupin merchandise spotted an auction for a rare Super Cassette Vision game called Lupin III. Bidding went high, but not as high as I thought.

Getting to know me...

04/25/2006

If you care to publicly roast me, you can do so via the AnimeOnDVD.com Blog entry or via the AnimeOnDVD.com forum thread. Either way, you'll get a peek into the inner recesses of my mind. But wipe your feet first!

Been awhile...

03/13/2006

Haven't updated much lately mainly because there is not much going on in the world of Lupin. However, I have finally managed to add all forty CDs Vap as listed on their site including cover images for nearly all of them. The sad thing is that there are still a ton of CDs from other distributors to add. So much content to add, so little time...

Belated "Happy New Year!" to all

01/14/2006

Been far too long since I have posted an update; however, I have been actively working on the site the past two months. I have started fleshing out the music section with CD information. There are many more CDs to be added, something I will be doing over the upcoming months. And don't forget to check the upcoming release section periodically; it will keep you informed about items like volume 14 being available for pre-order so you can get a good deal.
