Old news

(for those who actually care about this stuff)

01/15/03

Woah, an update one day right after the other one!! Who would have thought?!

Okies, what news do we have today? Well, the link section is growing bit by bit for starters. For the role players among us who want to delve into the darkside of things, so to speak, check out The Order of the Dark board. Tis an interesting little place, with a good amount of organization, as well as featuring dark characters not all bent on working on the side of evil for once. Ugh, I though I was gonna be the only one having characters like that....

It seems a few of you guys are missing the banner that was up there. Sorry about that. For now it's still living on the main site's homepage, so check it out if you want to see it. :)

Actually, you should be chekcing it out anyways. :-P I put news updates there too you know! In fact, that's originally where all the news was going! You know, I'm gonna start putting different things on these things if people don't go there. Ok, I know that the main site isn't exactly web-fantastic, but still, I AM trying. Oh well... maybe I should put up a contest there one of these days... ;)

Oh, and speaking of the main site, design work is starting up on it agian, besides content work. let's pray that I can get some money soon, becaue, the sooner I get that,the sooner we get ourselves our own domain name and server, and the sooner we can have a better looking website. So everyone, group vibe thing here: Sah'ar needs money... Sah'ar will get money....


01/14/03

Yes, your eyes do not deceive you: there IS a new sidebar on our messageboard now!! Much site design will happen in the next few days, if not weeks. :)

Yep, we got's some new changes. I temporarily took out the banner, since I think we could use a new one. Of course, I could use some help making it. Check out the "site tweaking" thread in the Courtyard for more details.

Also, I'm sure you guys will have noticed the slight shift with the site logo. I just though it would look better there, as it doesn't clash with the sidebar anymore. Plus, it works well with the "holographic interface" theme I'm trying to come up with for our message board. It's still an experiment though, so if it doesn't work out right, I'll just move to something else. Lot's of ideas to work with here. :)

By the way, you can thank BassDrive.Com for my productivity these days. The jungle tunes they've been playing recently are just what I needed. :)

Oh, on another good note, I think I just might be employed in the next few days!! Great huh? Huh??!

... let's see who even acknowledges.... :p

-------

01/12/03

I know it may seem like it, but really, I'm not being antisocial. I'm not. It's just with all the things I got going on, looking for work and trying to figure out how to keep the phone going on the top of the list, besides doing website stuff, it seems I get less and less time to have decent conversations with you guys! In fact, I havent' evne put up a good post in who knows how long. It isn't cause I hate you guys; far from it. I just have a lot of crap to do with very little to do it with. Ugh.

This stuff is gonna be a hell of a lot easier when we finally have a computer at home. "Sigh" Let's hope by some miricle that it happens soon, cause I don't know how much longer we'll be able to use the compuer lab compuers like this.

That said, I'll try to burn the midnight oil on the website stuff. Laterz.

-------

01/09/03

Still unemployed. These are one of those times I really wish I had the Force and a lightsabre. No, I wouldn't nessissarily jump into the darkside and start random acts of carnage (though it's tempting), but I'd definatly jump a few criminal tycoons....

Anyways, I'm not too stressed, but I do want to get a job pretty soon. Not making money, well, sucks. Got bills to pay and such.

In other news, still working on the Jedi stuff for the site. Pages WILL be up soon. I'm sure it'll illicit some response.

Also, for all you tune heads out there, if you have Real Audio on your comp, check out NinjaTune.net. Hell, you should always check that site out, but they've just recently announced a new "greatest hits" album thing they are doing. Actually, it's gonna be a DVD showing their videos from the past, a double cd album with classic Ninjatunage, and a doble cd remix album. You can sample the two albums on their site via the link their have on their main page in the article talking about it. If you don't listen to anything else, check out the tune "Pick Up" by Bonobo in the hits album. Gotta be one of the best ones there, and it's one of the few that is the whole song, not just 2 minutes worth. I know they aren't gonna keep it that way forever, so check it out while you can!

Tis it for now. Got site stuff to do, and more job hunting and wedding planning to engage in.

-------

12/29/03

Wow, lost my damn job. I really would like to know why companies feel it nessisarry to jerk people around when they decied to work for them. "Sure, we'll be glad to hire you full time." Yeah, sure. Then later I actually have to take it upon myself to find out that I was no longer on the roster. Too much staff, too little hours eh? Ah well. Tain't the end of the world. It's strange that I'm not worried about it though, even though I got some major bills to pay. *shurgs*

Still working on the Jedi stuff peeps. Which remined me: I need to reply to Alcander. We've been bouncing off some really good ideas to each other over all this. The recent thing he told me about technology is pretty much what I've been planing. No, I'm not telling you guys what it is. Stay tuned.

You know, to test if people are reading stuff, I might just ask a triva question. And if anyone gets it right, I send a prize. Which means that those who don't read this will miss out. Que evil laugh: MUHUHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Well, that it. Got job hunting to do people.

-------

12/25/03

note: I got someone to put up a message from me to you! He seems a little muddled, but I think he understood what I was trying to tell him. Seasons greetings. :)

All happy Mythos Mary Christmas gushes forth to Jedi which goes! I me today can install renewal really, but like miracle you did not think of that being visible happens. The fact that those continue to happen probably will be desired; I can use those! Christmas is supposed because it is time of collection of good applause and family. I this your everything desire the fact that it is true. Corny, the fact that but you do not sound in this is when really us being supposed because those which are important not to lie remember. We passed the entire year which actualizes that completely, but the time when Christmas us does that of form of relative consolation and is possible it is usual. As for me the fact that your everything can have the consolation of the person is desired. With side note, I this year obtained the gift which is really. It is, as for tis the people of the presumption some person of shocker. of the substance which is meant really we would like to give the Christmas raw materials to me. :) The person, me it has. Catch the food which eats b afterwards.

PS... you can catch what was actually said here ....

-------

12/22/03

Well, Christmas is almost here. I hope that so far the holiday season has been kind to all the Jedi and other types here and elsewhere. Been busy here trying to keep from killing holiday shoppers at work and trying to get gifts and other things in order. Also been brainstorming on the site content, mostly the Jedi section. The history section I pretty much know what's going there, but the Jedi section is going through a bit of a redesining. Basically I want to put a few ideas in there that will raise a few eyebrows. I have a feeling they will, since the image of the Jedi I'm trying to craft on this site is not a mirror image of what is expected, thanks to the movies, books, and basic warped ideas in peoples minds about what and who they are. I really hope you won't hate what's gonna be in html when I finally get it all up.

In the meantime, I've also been planning a bit for my future. I'm sure you guys already know, through the post at the Courtyard, that I'm planning to get married. Yep. This guy's officially got a lifemate now. Expect Armmagedon at 2 o'clock, Monday, June 21st, 2004. (Apologies to those who almost had heart failure when reading the date previously put up. - Editor, aka Jit.)

I wish I could give you guys a great big holiday greeting on the 25th, but since I can't, I'm giving it to you all early. I really hope it goes great for everybody, even those who've done us harm in the past. (Relish that now, those who have done so... it's probably the only time I'll be so nice to ye. ;) ).

Oh, and anyone who want's to deliver gifts, there's a certain sword I'd like to get. It's not all that expensive, just a Paul Chen Practical Tai Chi Sword, with a 30-32 inch blade. Hey, better to give than to recive, right?

... Eh, it's worth a try anyway. Have a good one peeps!!

-------

12/17/03

Peace and Hairgrease to all JM Jedi, and the same to those who aren't! Tis December, which means tis the holidays, which means time to remember that we're supposed to be loveable, huggable humans and give and recive loot!

It also means that the white stuff is falling around here. I have mixed feelings about snow. On the one hand, it's very pretty to look at, snowfall and afterwards. It's cool to wake up one day and see everything covered in white. But on the other hand, sooner or later you have to go out in it. And it's cold out there. Very cold. I hate the cold, I mean really really hate, hate HATE HATES, WE HATES, HATESSES IT PRECIOUS!!!.... Um... yeah.

Getting to site news, I'm really beating myself up over the fact that we still don't have a new radio show yet. I really want to get one going, especially since I've already promised some people they were going to be in the next ones. I haven't broken my word, really. I just need to get some things in gear first. I really am sorry it's taking so long. Please don't kill me.

Also, I haven't abandoned the rest of the site. I plan on having some new stuff added to the history and bio section over the next few days. Expect a few pleasant surprizes. Hopefully...

Well, I'd better get back to work. I'll check you guys out later. :)

12/07/03

Wow, it's a while since I've put up one of these, hasn't it? How many people actually read this though? One, maybe 3 people (besides me)? I doubt there's a huge mass of individuals bemoaning the lack of updates on this page. Still, gotta do them when I can. It's the principle of the thing.

I'm sure many of the residents here know of the visit that a certain Jedi took to our (me and Jit's) home. Yes, it was a fantastic two weeks. No, no one was permanently damaged. Even after the rampant lightsabre use. I look forward to another enjoyable visit. Hopefully I won't have to work as much as I did.

I really wish I could get that new web domain for us now. Well, maybe I can. Thing is, my hours are getting cut, which means less funds to do fun things with, like buying web domains. Still, I dunno... maybe with a bit of fancy budgeting, I can pull it off. Of course, it would also be nice to have some new web page designs and new html coding to grace the new site with (hint hint for a certain developer out there). Also, I gotta get online more often. Work and that new PS2 is sure taking up my time though (The Mark of Kri is a fantastic game!!). Not to mention I still need a computer. Which will be had. No really, I swear.

Also, I want to get my hands on a dremel set. Why? Well, let's just say I'd like to craft a special little item for whatever contest I decide to cook up soon....

Oh, before I bounce, just noted something. It's come to my attention that apparently, there still seems to be some people out there bitter over the whole JA schism thing. Why, I really don't know. I thought such things were in the past and that it would be smarter and wiser to just go along whatever path one was on, instead of trying to find people to blame for what happened. Oh well. I stopped caring a long time ago, and I especially don't have time for whatever misguided thoughts that may be had over what happened and what's been going on since. People tend to believe what they want anyways. Unless it's gonna hinder you in any way, I say let em. No reason to try to prove anything to them; they usually do it for you.

That's it. You guys can now read something more important. :P

- Ooops, almost forgot; new addition to the bio section.

oh, and laugh at this. It is to laugh.

01/27/04

Sorry about forgetting to put the old news scrolls up... I'll try not to mess that up next time.

BassDrive.com continues to fuel my work. I was a bit warry to say this before, but now I no longer care what some stuffy people may say: soulful sounding and jazzy jungle music and drum n' bass can be considered to be the "sountrack" for the Jedi Mythos fictional universe. I tend to come up with more stuff for the history and background for it... as well as conjure up some great action scenes for eager and brave Jedi. ;) By the way, if you guys ever do decide to risk listening to it, best dj mix shows to catch IMHO are Modern Vintage with Mighty Vishnu - Purrin' Lion Sound Flex/Touch and Feel Crew hosting, CHiTOWN UnderGround, and Groove Elements, to name a few. I haven't heard all the shows yet, so I can't comment on all of them, and there are probably some really great ones I haven't heard yet. Also, even if you miss a show, they still play some gems in a radio dj style between shows (sometimes I prefer the between times).

Ok, enough with the BassDrive praising....

Good news: I might be employed soon. That means money, which also means that I may soon have a computer and online connection at home after all. It also means I may soon be able to get my stuff soon. Well, I'm gonna get my stuff back regardless, it's just a question of when. I'd like it to be sooner than later, personally.

Been parusing a bit through TheForce.net, and read a small tidbit from Nick Gillard (the choreographer of Star Wars who made up the "Jedi Style" for the movie) about what the duel between Anakin and Obi-wan will be like. It wasn't much, but it was cool nonetheless: we're going to be greeted to 12 minutes of lightsabre goodness. That's enough for me to enter the theatres with giddy anticipation. :)

Oh, as far as site stuff goes (I really can jump from topic to topic, can't I?), I've been messing a bit with some doodling and idea drawings, as well as brain storming some story ideas with Jitka. I figured now would be a good time to ask anyone who's ok at art, sketching and stuff, to contribute anything they think would be cool on the site, like various Jedi interacting in our "Academy", action shots, yourselves, or anything else that you can think of. Computer art's ok too, especially if you're good at it. Hey, no reason why I can't ask those of you guys who come here to help beautify the place, especially since I want to have an art gallery soon. ;)

Also, I am seriously contemplating putting some of the old JA stuff in our site. I'm talking about the old, golden age, "Baal was still around" stuff. You can find a link to the archived info in the "Site Tweakin'" thread in the Courtyard, in case there's anything there you really would like to see in the Mythos site.

Well, that be it. Going back to work and surfing. And tuneage. Always tuneage. ;)

11/03/03

New update folks... which means yet another old new segment has fallen off and entered the old news section. Evolution at it's finest eh? Actually, I think it's more like the "Roll Over" song....

Anyways, a few new site updates. Nick's bio has been redone, by his request. It was done entirely by him, and I have to say, me likes. :)

Also posted up a new story seg in my Jedi Adventure story thread I have going. Are there any people reading it?? Just curious....

And for my fellow chinese martial artists, or any martial artist who is interested in looking at the chinese fighting arts, me found a great new site. :) I posted up the link in the Martial and Healing arts forum. Not putting it here yet... I don't want EVERYBODY to find out about it and buy out stuff before I can get my hands on it!!... then again, maybe I shouldn't post it up at all....

In some personal news, my new job has been going rather well. It's the usuall retail type stuff, nothing too hard or extraordinary about it. Still, it's not bad. And I can't wait to take advantage of that discount....

Tis it for now. Doing some more webwork, so don't fret if you see something get a little frizy for a few seconds. Anyone visiting, warm up a cup of tea (or get whatever beverage you need to get you by), and stay a while. :P

-------

10/29/03

Sorry about the Bassdrive link being busted in my last update... apparently I put one extra "w" in the url. It's fixed now though. You can thank Jundal for letting me know.

Also got some more main site updates for you guys. Well, one. If you click on the Jedi section, you'll notice a part about Jedi Clans. It isn't complete by any means, but it should be some infor for you guys, in case you wondered about these clans I tend to mention in the bios and in my tales.

Plan to do some more work tonight... If there's anything signifigant, I'll let you guys know. :)

-------

10/28/03

You guys might be shocked to know that the section on the Great Jedi War in the History section is finished. Yep. No, really. I'm not jiving you. It's even got the typos in there to prove it! (I did try to proofread, but Jit wasn't here with me, so I'm sure I missed a few....)

Anyways, go check it out. I know you guys want to find out how that damn war ended anyways. :)

Also, I finished Jedi Lowell's Bio. Yay! Maybe I'll get some more done before I go home.

You guys can thank Bassdrive.com for me getting this all done. Good music tends to inspire. And an inspired person gets things done. Of course, I know not all you guys are into Jungle and Drum and Bass, but still, good music is good music you know.

Oh, I'm finished with that drawing I let you guys see in my last update. I'm gonna scan it soon so that you guys can ooh and ahh at the completed version. It is to praise!

Tis all. Till next time, and remember guys, don't chase old ladies with your lightsabre. There are better ways to test it.

-------

10/22/03

Been tweaking the place, as I'm sure you guys have noticed. Put the updates in a new table format, and I'm putting older news in its own page, so that this main page doesn't get all super long and stuff. Also put some new pics in a couple of the bio's: mine and Hell's. This is all of course, on top of the message board tweaking I've been doing. Hope you guys like the Faq. :) Oh, and if you guys don't like the 1337 sp34k (leet speak for the un-initiated), I'll put it back in regular english.

I've also been drawing my butt off for site imagery. I figured you might want a peek at what I've been up to, so here ya go:

The Drawing

It's not finished yet, but it's got enough for you guys to "ooh and aahh" at. That is, if there's anything to "oooh" at in there... :b Feel freel to tell me what you think of it in the forums.

Hope to more art stuff done soon. Oh, and can you guys do me a favor? Start mail bombing Artemia so that we can have more pages done for the site revamp. That guy's getting lazy... well then again, I've been too... but still, we're talking about him, not me!

More news as it develops. Right now, me hungry.

-------

10/16/03

More good news! Me got's job now! JOB!! And it's a good one too. :) Not gonna advertise and say where, but let's just say I'm gonna be getting discounts on computer stuff now. :) Lan gaming here I come....

In other news, expect a faq to be written soon on our humble little home on the web. Basically, it will answer all the basic annoying questions, as well as spell out the expected behavior on the message boards. We pretty much know what they are, but there are a few little tidbits that haven't been worked out yet, like sig pic sizes. That will be addressed soon, and once they are, you all will break these rules at your own peril.

Oh and I feel I must say this: Peace and Blessings upon all those that need it. It seems that a lot of us are going through some hard times, and the more help and healing thoughts that go the way of those that need it, the better. So again, Peace and Blessings upon those who could use it, and also on those who we care about and cherish.

Till later....

10/15/03

We're HOME!! We're finally HOME!!!

No, I'm not talking about the server you dummies (though that's closer than you think). For those who don't know by now (which, now that I think about it, is kinda impossible if you knew about what me and Jit were going through), we've finally got a pad of our own. :) And Jit's got a job too. I'm close to being among the employed myself; just gotta cross my fingers. You guys can do that too you know....

Working a little on the bios again. You may have noticed a new person added, as well as a few tweaks here and there on the older files. More stuff will be added, hopefully.

By the way, any of you guys seen Kill Bill yet? Great movie, isn't it? Only the unwashed goons who dare to call their cattled-brained selves human beings will think otherwise. If you haven't seen it yet, go now! Just one complaint though (and I hope in some strange miracle that that Tarentino is reading this), why the hell was it cut into two parts?!?! I know for a fact that I'm not the only one who would have stayed the whole three hours to see this in full. Even worse, we're gonna have to shell more bucks when the DVD's come out, since there's supposedly gonna be one for each part, then a third with both in them, all with different bonuses added in. Talk about money grubbing....

Ah well. It's a damn good movie anyway.

oh and as an added note: beware my assassin

10/6/03

Is there anyone else besides me who is frustraited with the fact that there haven't been any new radio shows done yet? Hmm... unless I'm hallucinating, I'm seeing quite a few hands. Yeah, I know it's taking quite a while, and some of you guys may be wondering if I abandoned the concept all together. I haven't, don't worry. It's just taking a while for me to get settled so that I CAN make a new one. But I promise that they'll come back. I already have two shows lined up, with a good topic for each one. Just send some good vibes and pray that me and Jit get situated quickly, 'cause the sooner we get situated, the sooner we can get those shows recorded and put up, and the sooner we can have a new server and a new look for our main site.

In other news, I've getting some more inspiration for the stuff I want to do on the site. I've also been checking out some great stuff online. You might notice a new link on the bottom; it's to the Final Fighting Fantasy website. I suggest you check it out: it's really good stuff. :)

... hmm, I might ask that guy to do a flash intro for the site... he definitely seems to have the skills for it....

9/28/03

Not much new, just wanted to let you guys see that I'm STILL working behind the scenes here, despite how it looks. I wonder though, if anyone bothers to look at these pages. Ah well, sooner or later you'll be compelled to, I promise you. :-P

It looks like I'll be able to get that server quicker than I thought. New job on the horizion. Also, new home on the horizion, well, hopefully. Wish us luck, people. :)

Also, in case you don't know, I'm re-writing a story I had in the JA forums years ago. It's been renamed Honor and Shadows, and not only is it being re-done, but it's also going to have an ending this time! Also, once I'm finished, I plan to have it be the first story to add to the main site's story section. I plan to also give it a few illustraitions as well. Anyone who writes a really good story in the universe I made up for us here will also get a chance to be added on. :)

Still craving that Jedi Academy game that came out for the PC. I don't have a computer that can play it yet, but soon, very soon. Then I plan to get many of you guys on the bandwagon... can't wait to play against you guys. My lightsabre craves competition!

Well, that's it for now. Behave people.

9/14/03

The old radio shows are gone now people. All that's on those pages are the official shows. So for those of you who wanted to hear Avi Von and his funny antics, you're out of luck... well, unless you find someone who has it on their harddrives. Sorry about that... but I had to take em out cause of space concerns. Besides, they weren't on my server. :-P Don't worry, sooner or later they'll be back up... on our new server.

Oh, if you have Real Audio, or Real Player (or anything that plays real audio files), you HAVE to check this out! Anyone remembers Sesame Street?? Or better yet, the C is for Cookie song?? Well then head over here:

Sesame Street tunes

I promise you'll be very entertined. :

New radio show is up people. Hear it or die. *ignites lightsabre*

Steadily working on the weapon's section of this site. Soon you guys will get to read about all the crazy weapons I thought up that exists in my universe. Some of them are so cool you'll want some for your very own! Ever wanted what the heck a katchzin blade was? Would you like your character to use a "devil's fork" lightsabre? Of course you do!

Working on the lightsabre lessons section for us too. I'm thinking it would be nice to start making some video files....

There is going to be a new community chat this weekend. It'll start at 9pm pacific time. If you can, please attend.

That is all. :)

---

7/14/03

Yes, I know I'm WAY behind on the bios. Trust me, I'm more miffed about it than you are. Work's been pretty heavy and rough, and I tend to be pretty worn out when I get home because of it. Still, I'm not gonna make that an excuse. Working on site stuff right now in fact (hence, the new update. ;) )

Hope you guys have been liking the radio shows. I've been meaning to do another one, but I want to have it with Ezra Kye, and she and I have been having conflicting work scheduals. Still. I'll find someway to get that show going.

The work for putting up the lightsabre lessons here is underway. Just recently took some new pics for it, and they came out great. :) Just gotta rotoscope them, and make the new section.

Okies...that's it for now...Oh, expect some new stuff to be put in the Jedi and Sith sections soon....


Get back to the site... we miss you.
