SCSA20.com

For those who were trying to get on the past week or so probably noticed they weren’t able to get there and it’s mainly something to do on the host side of things (hell, even his sites were down while he was trying to get everything back). But hey, every thing’s back now, so back to the normal routines!

There’s a known issue right now where I’m unable to received any emails when someone uses the contact(s) form for some odd reason. For now, if you need to contact shoot me an email at admin@scsa20.com or if you see a picture of yourself and would like a copy send an email to conpix@scsa20.com with the year, day (if available), and frame number (file name) (the title is the frame #/file name) and I’ll send you a copy as soon as I can.

FAnime Con 2009 pictures are up now, check them out over at http://www.scsa20.com/v/fanimecon/2009/ or you can look at the privous years over at http://www.scsa20.com/v/fanimecon/. And, of course, you can always check out the main gallery over at http://www.scsa20.com/wpg2 (or simply click on the “gallery” link above).

Enjoy

If you haven’t noticed, there’s a new gallery link up on the nav bar where I’m using a new gallery software as well. In the next few days I’ll be uploading my pictures from FAnime since 2004. Only downside is that I’ll have to be using an already watermarked copy of FAnime 2006 because I can’t find the originals to re-do the picture sizes (although I have a good feeling where it might be now, just need to head back to my parents place to get it).

You may request for full, unwatermarked copies of the pictures that’s in the gallery (with the exception of FAnime 2006 until further notice) just by sending me an email with the year and title (frame number).

Here’s a video review on Windows 7 RC1 to show you some of the changes and new features that’s been added.  I might later down the line do another video to show you each feature separately and talk about there changes in each video.  For now, enjoy this 27:33 long video.

List of reviews to do

The Last House on the Left
Watchman
Fast and Furious
State of Play

First off, the main reason why you haven’t heard from me for over a month is because I’ve been lazy.  Yes, that’s right, L-A-Z-Y! But would you blame me? Not really. But I’ve also been busy with other things such as moving the site over from Hostmoster to ExqSoft.  Why the move? Two reasons.

1. I know the owner since I was about 12 years old and he’s a honest man just starting up his (I believe) third hosting company.  ExqSoft might be small right now but he over all has tons of clients from his other hosting company he runs so I have a good feeling about this.
2. I’m just got tired of cPanel that Hostmoster uses (in fact, most web hosting companies out there uses cPanel and it just sucks). This control panel that the owner decided to use is actually a lot more better and I have a lot more access to control the backend of the site.

So what does all this means? It means you we should be on a server where you will no longer that that “exceeded the processor power please check back again in a few hours” messages and onto sexier servers.

Other things that’s been happening other then a server move was my work hours has changed.  Now I’m working at 11am to 10pm, the drive is still a bitch, but at least I’m moving into an apartment close by on May 1st which I’ll be talking about later as well.

With that said, I did saw a few movies in the past 2 to 3 weeks that I’ll be talking about whenever I get around to talking about it. I’ll go ahead and tell you the titles now, and those are The Last House on the Left, Watchman, and Race to Witch Mountain. So stay tune to read those reviews.

Hello all you happy people, how you all doing?  Me, on the other hand, been actually going through my site and ACTUALLY making my site XHTML compliant.  What does that mean?  It means that the page will load like it should, in the correct standards.  Also, during my search of making my site compliant, I also installed Opera for testing the site in and also tested the site in Internet Explorer (IE) 8 on a Windows 7 Beta machine.  I even tested it at work which is running Windows XP in Firefox 3 and IE6 and on my home laptop that’s running Windows XP SP3 in IE7.  This is the results I gotten, please note, I’ve removed the operating system info since the OS doesn’t matter but only the web browser since the browser’s standards is universal to begin with.

So using the table above shows that most popular web browsers will load the site up just fine with no issues other then Internet Explorer 8.  What happens in IE 8 is that the top navigations gets all screwed ball and doesn’t display correctly.  Only way around it is to put it into compatibility view by clicking on the little broken page icon (see screen shot below).

I’m not going to worry about trying to fix it to make it happy with IE8, I have no reason to as long as my site looks perfectly fine under IE6 & 7, and that it looks perfectly fine under Firefox and Opera.  Oh, and can’t forget as long as it’s XHTML compliant.

Another thing I had to do was get ride of the the <embed> tags as that’s not even an HTML tag to begin with.  After a bit of research I found out that the <embed> tags were used to get the flash contents showing in Netscape Navigator back in the good old days and all the other browser developers followed suit.  What’s wrong with that is that it causes issue with the actual standards itself.  After a bit of research I think I found a way around that issue and was able to remove the <embed> tags completely.  Downside is that now whenever you want to watch a video that’s posted from YouTube you’ll have to press the play button then press the play button again.  Tested this in all said above browsers and it’s only from YouTube videos (so far).  The one and only video posted from MySpace TV is the only one that will play automatically when you press the initial play button.  As I post more random videos from different providers I’ll test it’s playback feature in this way.  So, yeah, there you have it, and what I’ve been doing for the past few days.  Enjoy.

So… This is what you call a mall cop… A cop who is a mall security guard…  Yeah………….

Anyways, Sometime last week, I believe it was Friday, I went and saw this movie called, get this, Mall Cop (well… full title is actually Paul Blart: Mall Cop, but who cares, right?).

Anyways, it’s pretty much about this mall security guard who’s name is Paul Blart (Kevin James) who, for years, applied to become an actual cop but fails physic exam because of his epilepsy disorder forcing him to fall a sleep right before the finish line.  One night a group of “thugs” came to the mall and started to rob the joint.  Yeah…. That’s about it…..  Alright, alright, fine, I guess I’ll talk more about this movie then, gez..  Just be warn that I might spoil the movie for you so don’t come bitching to me about it.

This is the reason why I hate some people in IRC, they get me too addicted to some videos.  Enjoy this lovely video titled Hitohira no Hanabira by Stereo Pony.  And I hate you darkcolonist.
