FUCK VISTA

I do tech support for friends and as a side job, I was helping a friend last night with her new PC that Windows Vista Home Premium, connect to the internet.

Now I consider myself to be tech savvy enough to configure just about anything on a computer. But wow was I in for a big surprise, vista changed so much from windows xp and even from the beta versions I tested that I just gave up, we could get her computer to connect to the internet through her DSL connection.

The funny thing is, I know that the internet connection is working because her msn messenger works. IE7 nor Firefox would not connect to the internet, when I tried to use vista's diagnostics to check for problems it says none found, when I tried to add a new connection it says that I'm already connected to the internet. But when I try to visit any website it says I'm not connected, the thing that bugs me is yahoo messenger and msn messenger works!!!

Fuck vista the effects looks nifty but they really fucked bad with interface on this one. I guess they were attempting to make the OS easier for new users, but for someone who has used windows half of his life this thing didn't look easy to me.

FUCK YOU VISTA!!!!!

Linux or Mac for me next time I upgrade, and personally I'm going to recommend those two to all my customers now.

stuff

Fixed the error messages on the website so now non-members can easily find out how to join SG. I tried to join a Filipino torrent tracker site and after reading several rules pages and readmes and getting my tracker account and forum account it turns out that I have to either submit an original content or give the admin $5 to use their tracker. Forget it!

So then I checked back at SG and realized that the error messages for new members were confusing and also non of them worked since the site was moved. Well now users get a much nicer page when they try to visit the galleria without all the necessary requirements.

The Asian Model Directory is almost done, I hate the way the AsiaNude4U CSV is setup. So I guess what we have for AN4U will do for now, the 88Square and A4U galleries are okay.

Searching for model names also work, I still need to make another search that can do search for tattoos, skin color, breast size etc. I hope you guys like the AMD, its an improvement from the previous A4U directory if you ask me.

Asian Model Directory

Argh working on the Asian Model Directory is giving me a headache, basically different series made different directory hierarchy and I have to allow the script to adapt to different levels of folders.

I thought I got it right already I already uploaded 88Square 1-19, then on CD20 the script breaks cause of the Halloween set.

Galleria

Revised the slide viewer for the galleria, just minor changes with the cosmetics. There's still a bug with the picture moving forward when you change the zoom.

cache_lite

Cache_lite rocks! Without it my bandwidth was taking tremendous hit and now it takes a page in the cache 0.13 - 0.3 seconds to load. Had to reconfigure much of the existing pages as I was using it incorrectly

The whole site is looking much better now, more organized than before. Still got lots of plan for more features, one of them a model directory that identifies each model from different series. I know a lot of people miss the A4U Database. Hopefully I'll get it done tomorrow.

Finished the Slide viewer mode feature for the galleria last night. The option will show up on galleries that contains pictures and when using the TXT mode gviewer.
