with the fansite being down, the other hatcheries not working as they should, and me not having enough credit on yarolds to keep two scrolls up there, i am posting my 9-year olds dragons here.

he catches them himself, mostly (( mum helps with the newer, more rare dragons) , of the abandoned page, and names and breeds them himself, too. normally, he can post them himself, too, on the fansite, even learned him how to trade. okay, it has been only from my scroll to his,  but still.

but due to it being down for a few days already... time for some parental help. and some help from all the nice people on my friendslist, here.. please click on the dragons, and help my kid?

At this momend, an update of the AFFA forum is in-progress. please be patient while i finish it, and keep fingers crossed that it will  go smooth.

Edit: Update done! all went smooth, and all should be in working order! report any errors you migth run into to me, either here or on the forum.

i also fixed the AFFA site-news Page, wich will work again when the forum works. i am going to do some minor updates on the site, and posted a change-log on the news page, wich i will update with the latest changes.

if you have suggestions for things you would like to see onthe site and/or forum , they always are welcome. i cant promise i will implement all, that partly depends on my coding skills.

easter was nice, spend the first day over at my momÅ› place, together with other famly members, and went out with my parents and my kids on day two, to a local kinderboerdery ((sorry no idea what its called in english)) i made some photo's, from which i made a slideshow, which you can find here: Link

for the rest things are more and more falling into place.. my son changed schools, and seems to be settling in well, on his new school, and since last week, he finally got swimming lessons, too. my teen daughter is still being a teen, among things.. i will ramble about that in detail later.

Found this on autumndandelion's journal:

You Are a Lynx
You are a quiet observer of the world around you. Your wisdom comes from listening carefully.
You've always been extra sensitive and aware. And it's made it difficult for you to fit in.

You see past people's outward personas. You are able to penetrate a stranger's soul.
What you've learned about people is both beautiful and ugly. And you keep these secrets to yourself.

AFFA site and forum moving day!

affa-logo 2
 we ( me and reijiro) have talked about it,  made sure it was no problem one way or another, and  now it is done: the affa site has its own url!!

the site moved from a sub-domain  of my domain, http://tmntfan.nl, to its own domain:

http://tmnt-affa.com

this means the forum also has moved, and you can now find it here:  http://tmnt-affa.com/forum

i am happy the whole move went smooth, did not loose one letter on the forum, as far as i can see!  the only thing  that still has to be moved, or altered into a new format, is the links page. i am working on adapting a base script i found on a site, to fit the affa needs.


i will be doing some optimalising, still have to fix the news page, (or replace it with something else))   and in the next few days will remove th\is year's section for the temporary fics. if you find anything not working, then mail me at: engelina@tmnt-affa.com , or   reply here!

Pizzas and scrolls-trouble.. opinions needed!

  • Mar. 18th, 2009 at 10:40 PM
keyboard
i found out the  pizzas and scrolls site is having a lot of trouble with internet explorer.

i tried to find a fix, but i can not find a fix that doe snot include using a less-saver version of the script.. and even then its not sure if the error will be fixed.

 i have a few options, and am hoping you,  are willing to tell me what you prefer. you can do that by mailing me back, or my responding to  my livejournal, which will also have  an entry about this.

the options are the following:
-live with it, and have people that use ie  not being able to use the site properly (not one i prefer, at all. i lprefer all my sites compatible with any browser. just adding this one for completeness of options))
-try to fix it, with possible chance of it still not working/hackers. (( also not one i favor..  may cause trouble for the other sites, like the affa one.. ))
-find another script (already tried, did not find a decent one. if you know a good one, tell me. not efiction.  ))
-replace it with a forum instead. ((most forum scripts are more stabile, and friendly for any browser.))
-merge this place with the affa forum. ((means people have to re-post.  but the affa forum already as an story section, and author sections. ))
-just give up all together, and delete it.
- [ insert an option i forgot here , ] (post idea in a reply, in this case. ))

so, opinions, please? as many as possible, since i then can get an idea what  most think.

I made these, quite some time ago, and since i got not one but two references to then in a certain meme, i decided i better repost them somewhere, so people can use them! So, here they are, my glittery tmnt signatures!!

I plan on making some new ones, but i am not going to say when.. because i do not know when i will have the time to do so.

Anyways, here is the deal: these are free to be used, as a sig on forums, or here on lj. If someone asks you where you got it, then kindly point them this way. Credit is appreciated, but i am not going to force people to do so. So you may credit, but its not a must. just do not claim these as made by you.

Since i am a curios artist, i appreciate to hear what you think of these, and if you use them. again not something you have to do, but appreciated by me if you do so.

If you need help with the html code or the bbcode (for forums), just ask me, and i will try to help.

TMNT do not belong to me. just like making art with them on it.

from windows to linux..

  • Feb. 22nd, 2009 at 8:27 PM
keyboard
since a bit over a week, i am using linux instead of windows, partly because theyre seems to be a bug in my vista that causes my computer to have at least one bsod.. every thursday.

i have tried to fix it, but nothing works. brought the computer to a computer shop a few weeks ago, and they could not find it ea iter, but they could tell me it was not a hardware error. memory, hard disk, etc.. everything is in working order.

last week, i had enough. i had gotten a linux disk with a computer magazine a few weeks back, and decided to give it a try. so, installed linux, and it worked, except the wireless network cart. a post on a dutch linux forum was ansered very fast, and the person answering posted a link to what solved that part too. so yues, all working perfectly fine now. and last thusday my computter did not do the chrashy thing, either.

so, for me, dropping windows and now using linux works. and i like using linux, found a html editor that has the options i need, can access my server easy.. and if i need windows for something i can always use the kids computers.. ((my son now has a computer too.. one that also serves as my backup. gift to him and me from my mom, who was no longer using her desktop computer after she bougth a laptop. ))

As some of yoy mnigth remember,m i started uploading screencaps to my lj scrapbook a while ago. I stopped, mainly because it was a pain to upload the files there. Wich had to be done one by one on my own computer (laptop with vista) or i had to use my daugthers computer ( xp upload tool thingie )) 

After some thinking, i decided to start a second photobucket account, and upload everything there. After almost losing all the caps, ((good thing i do make backups, at least of some things )) i decided to make more haste with that, so i did. i uploaded every cap i had a backup off to a photobucket account.

Where this all is leading? to here: Linkie!!   <-- that is where you can find every screencap i had on my computer.  i sometimes add new ones, and will try and post  in my lj if i do. 

These screencaps are free to be used, no credits neccasery, but if you do give credit, i would appreciate it.

lets see.. what i have been up to as of late:
  • forgetting a memo or two.. :will make up on that, promise!
  • re-doing my website, to frames: been working on that for a while, finished last week, more or less. its now up. the only thing i need is to find some kind of graphic for above the menu.
  • AFFA 2008 competition: we just closed the nominations, and now are working on getting the reading list ready, and the fics that need temporary hosting on the site. pages for that have been added, still need to add content on some.
  • making art: working on a thing or two, and uploaded something to my deviantart a few days ago.
  • real live..: we all know this one.. and that it can keep us busy a lot. may or may not post a journal about that later.. if i do, it will be friends-locked.
  • fanfic: working on the resident evil/tmnt crossover, and finished a one shot.. wich, by the way, will be beta-ed, once my beta (reijiro) has time.. wich probably be after the affa. so fics are being written, in between.. posting ish on hold until there is time to beta and edit.
well, that is what i have been doing the past week or so, in a nutshell.

as for the memo's: here is one i got tagged with a while ago, by at least 3 people:

1. Post these rules.
2. Each tagged person must is asked to post 8 things about their self on their journal.
3. At the end, you have to may choose and tag 8 people. not doing the taggy thing.. if you have not done this yet, and want to, consider yourself tagged.
4. No tag-backs.

got this one from reijiro!

The first seven (7) people to respond to this post will get something made by me.

This offer does have some restrictions and limitations:

- I make no guarantees that you will like what I make.
- What I create will be just for you.
- It'll be done this year (2009).
- You have no clue what it's going to be. It may be a mix CD. It may be a poem. I may draw or paint something. I might bake (I'd never be this cruel to anyone on my f-list!) make you something and mail it to you. Who knows? Not you, that's for sure! [not me either]
- I reserve the right to do something extremely strange.  <- WORD!

The catch is that you have to put this in your journal as well, if you haven't already.  'tis only fair if you expect me to do something for you!

You should LJ-message me with your address if you want me to send it to you.  i will probably only do digital stuff, since my bank account says so.

well, seems  the re-intall i did yesterday did  solve the window not booting at all problem i had yesterday, but since that time, i got a few blue screens..

the first few went too fast for me to read, but after turning of that reboot on error thing from vista, i got a good look at the page, got the erroro code, and googled it, to find a solution.. and did not find one that was not confusing me at all. took bits  of solution of  a few pages, the ones i could do myself, that is, and for now, it seems to be running normal.. will  wait a few days before i declare the error gone, thoug..

and so i remember later what i did, i am listing it here.(( i also apologise to my flist, who have to read this... i just have to post it somewhere online, where i can acess it later, just in case.))
  • re-install windows (yesterday, afternoon)
  • remove the test trail stuff that comes with my install.. ((its one of those boot sector things, most laptops have these days.. and the manufacturer always adds stuff they think is useful to it...  so, yeah, de-install allcrap i dont need, that is not a part of windows. or needed to run the computer, like a short traIl from office,  and some of those play one hour and then pay games)) (also yesterday)
  • by then,  the blue screens started. 1 time during dinner, three times while i was chatting with some people. got a photo of the last one.
  • get all windows neccesary updates ( part yesterday, part today)
  • clean out fan. (not much dust there, but its clean now)
  • do checkdisk (found a few errors, do not rember how much, all were restored.)
  • de-installed norton three months trail, intalled my security suite (gdata) , did scans for viruses and other nasties, nothing.
  • did memory check ( build into vista  one )  all good, no errors.
  • got another window update, installed. (not sure why this one came after the rest. )
  • tested the system, by running browser, and mediaplayer. no errors. no bluescreens.
  • did a last checkdisk. no errors found.


now i am hoping it really is gone,  and that the bad sectors  that where restored where the actual error, or that the updates took care of it.   so, hopefully, i indeed am error-free. for now, at least

weelll.. i  had planned on spending the afternoon relaxing, playing a computer game,  and  looking over two one-shots i finished earlier this week, to get them ready for beta-ing..

 instead i spend  most of the oafternoon and part of the evening  re-installing vista,  and getting my computer back working at this momend, it luckily is.

i backup regulairly, so not much was lost... but some things where... i lost two fics i had finished after tthe last backup, for one. and some coding for the website. fortunately, ican get the coding part again easily enough, just have to rember where i edited it.


the fics.. i still have what i wrote in my head... just have to get it out of my head again. after i re-install word, that is... and photoshop... and at least two other programs i use often. i just hope its my last crash in quite a while.

Your result for The Attachment Style Test...

The Free Agent

20% Anxiety Over Abandonment and 39% Avoidance Of Intimacy

You like to be independent, to play by your own rules. You're not terribly interested in finding a partner and settling down, and it makes you nervous to imagine that someone might depend on you for anything. Were you to find the right partner--someone as independent as you, probably--you'd not be too put out about sharing your adventures with him/her.



Fictional characters with whom you might identify: Han Solo (Star Wars), Beatrice ("Much Ado About Nothing")



HanSolo.jpg Beatrice.jpg




Other Attachment Types:
Secure: The Unicorn | The Cuddleslut | The Free Agent
Preoccupied: The Cling Wrap | The Squid | The Insect
Fearful: The Doormat | The Leper | The Exile
Dismissing: The Hermit | The Stone | The Player
Confused: The Waffler

First the update part:  i updated the affa yesterday, and my site today. main changes are that one of the pages is no longer empty, ( )   i put the gallery in an iframe, and added a second page with iframe for the fanfic links page.  so, all is best viewed from my site, but the fanfic links page is also accessible on its own, if you prefer that.

over the course of the next few days, i will be adding the fanfic links i have, and the ones recced to me so far.  extra recommendations are still welcome, and i want to thank the people who aklready did rec stories for that page! i am also looking into a guestbook for my sites, but so far have not found one i like yet.

i also decided to make more use of my deviantart account. so, what will be where: fanart, wallpapers, etc will be posted on my site.  photo's, scrapbooking pages and manips i make using non-fan chars will be on deviantart. here on lj, i will show something of both.

the birthday and gift part: tomorrow,. jan 11, i will become 35 years.  i already got the first gifts:  6 months lj and 6 months of 100 userpictures from my mom, and  my daugther made something in school for me. will take a pic and post it later! probabbly after tomorrow.

been adding some avvies already,  can still use a few nice ones, thoug!

now, i decided to re-start the fanfic links page,  you can find the start of it here: http://tmnt-fanfic.jouwpagina.nl/

now what i need help with, is finding good fanfics, old and new, to put on the page.

and  that is what i am asking help with. know a fic that really should be added? tell me! post the link, what it is about, and  if possible, the genre, so i can divide the fics into categories using that.  the fic may be written by you, or by others, just if you think it is good, and should be added, post it here!

p.s.: if a story has an adult rating, you still can mention it. i will add those too, but label them 18+.

drabble meme thingie!

Found on [info]greenwillow27 'S journal, and seemed like fun to do for me.

Drabble it forward: Make a post inviting people to request drabbles in the fandoms you write; any number of commenters you can handle. But the catch is, once someone makes a request, they also have to post the meme, and drabble it forward.


Fandoms: TMNT. i migth be persuated to try biker mice, thunderbirds, or swat kats, but i prefer tmnt, no matter what incarnation ( movies, old or new, new toon, old too, comics.. )) 

I'll write pretty much anything, since i want to use this to practice writing stuff,  so..
you don't *really* have to repost the request for prompts. I just wants 'em.

Christmas memage!

Dear Santa...

Dear Santa,

This year I've been busy!

In November I helped [info]emerald_7 see the light (8 points). Last Saturday I bought porn for [info]kame_genius (-10 points). Last Tuesday I committed genocide... Sorry about that, [info]tmnt_kink (-5000 points). In September I set [info]ghostofdejungle's puppy on fire (-66 points). In July I gave [info]wyntir_rose a kidney (1000 points).

Overall, I've been naughty (-4068 points). For Christmas I deserve a spanking!

Sincerely,
engelina_c

well,  i have been quite busy since my last entry here.

 firstly, there was the wedding i took photo's from, on Friday. all went well, at least with the photo taking, and  i gained some courage, now knowing i can do something like this.  the newly wed couple already saw the pictures, and complimented me about how good they looked. and that is before i did any basic corrections.

now i am in the process, if sorting trough them, deciding which ones to use for an album for them which is going to be my wedding gift to them.

the wedding itself went good too, lots of fun, good food, yummy desserts. the only thing that went wrong was one guest getting a little too drunk for his own good, and almost started a figth. with me. one of the kids spilled a drink on his suit, and he got angry about that. when i told him to calm down, since his shouting was scaring all the kids in the room, he started yelling at me, instead.  the groom worked him out of the room before anything bad happened, so it luckily was solved.

 for the processing of the photo's i loaded my mom's flatscreen monitor, since she is not using her desktop computer atm, after she bougth herself a laptop. i really like having the second monitor, especcially when working on the digital art-like stuff i like doing,  and while this one is only a temporary loan, i now know what i am going to save up money for: a nice flatscreen monitor to use next to my laptop, if i am working on.. well, anything that means i normally dont seem to have enough roon on my screen. which is a lot of things.

but with all the good, there is less good too. the  sick friend of my mom i mentioned in my previos journal died, basically on the day i posted that journal.  even if everyone knew he would die, it still was a bit of a shock, especially for my mom..  it is what could have happened to us, 5 years ago, when my mom was diagnosed with the same illness. we where lucky, and it is things like this that remind us of just how much luck we had.

December-thougths.

It is December again.

For me, it is a month where both good and bad things have happened in the past. 

one example is the December of 5 years ago, right after we heard my mom had cancer, and that she would have to be operated  as soon as was possible. Which in this case, was after New Year’s Day.  This year, that is 5 years ago. My mom is still around. She was declared free of cancer, and still is. I still can visit her, and am very thankful for that.

My father also died in this month, several years ago, but I never had too strong a bond with him, so that is one thing I am not that sad about. I know my mom is not, either. He was not that much of a good husband, or father. Not going to waste many words on him here.

The biggest shadow this year is a friend of my mom that is dying because he has the disease my mom survived from: cancer. He was given up quite a while ago, and every one knew he would die soon. From what I last heard, he will not make it to Christmas, and probably not even to the next week.  I never really met him, but I know it hits my mom, and I know for sure one thing that she is surely realizing. I myself am very aware of it too. It is what could have happened 5 years ago, but did not happen.

There are good things too, thankfully.   the holidays, like sinterklaas, which normally would have been Friday, but is moved to Thursday for our family, due to another event ( more about that one later), Christmas,  and decorating the house before that, shopping for Christmas, even if I am on a budget, it still is fun to do!

We also have a wedding on Friday the 5th. Two friends of us are tying the knot, on that day. On me, the honour of making the photo's fell. The first time I make wedding photos. I read up on it, and memorised some tips and tricks for the day. I have prepared what I could: my camera is ready, I got my stepdad's camera as a backup, and making sure I have enough memory for both camera’s, and batteries enough for the whole day.  I will try and type up a journal after Friday, telling how it went, in case anyone here is curios.

You are part Donatello. You are reserved and intelligent. You favor the use of brains instead of brawn.

5 un-beta-ed ( and thus unfixed) snippets out of some un-posted and mostly unfinished stories/ i can not promise if one of these will ever be finished, but maybe i get some ideas on how to finish them, so..

under the cut.  )

are any of these worth trying to continue at all? or should i just leave them where they are: my dumped story iteas folder?

i has a payed account!

As the title says, i now have a payed LJ account, at least for the next  2 months. By then its my birthday, and thus i can ask my family and friends to give me money, so i can buy a year or so more.  Or else the $5 every two months is do-able for me too.

As for where i got the money for two months: i had put some money on my paypal, a month or so ago, and still had it, so used it for this.

I have been playing around a bit already, and plan on adding a few  more user icons too.  Already managed to get myself a custom mood theme. Well, technically i googled it.
