Projects, Love Hina, and Yaksuko

The Japanese word yaksuko is translated promise (the noun). What does this have to do with site news? I have got around to working on a few more promised features on my site, like the Projects. Since I have nothing better to do at the moment, I have updated my Website: Love Hina page to add a review and character listing. The previous Love Hina stuff, namely the Love Hina Episode Guide, has been wikified.

I am starting to get used to Emacs Wiki: Emacs Wiki Mode, as you can see by that link I just made. I love it when sites are consistent from page to page, yet feature-rich. To achieve this for my site, I have tried to wikify everything that had previously been manually coded XHTML, like the Website: Works page and the Website: Friends page. The Website#OlderNews has also been wikified. I am trying to use the <contents> tag more often, which means that news entries and the Website: Love Hina page are summarized nicely in the Contents section.

I plan to re-watch the Love Hina Spring Special and the Love Hina Again series in order to fulfill another yaksuko for my mostly nonexistent web site fans, and my one anime-loving friend. In other words, I will soon put Episode Guides for those episodes up on the site. Here's to you, Shaw. /me pours ashaw a glass of peppermint schnapps. In other news, Steve's webserver might (I hope) be back up soon, featuring a tasty new redesigned front page.

I have a few other plans for this website. A preliminary search for web-worthy documents for the Website: Philosophy page among my writings yielded exactly one result: Website#TheFarce. More will follow, hopefully. I might end up publishing my day planner pages as a blog if I can figure out a good way to separate entries and publish separable blogs. Finally, I came across a program called cthumb that looks as if it might be a better choice than GThumb for my Website#AlbumPage picture albums. I have not had a chance to test it out yet.
