As an animation, Bakemonogatari has a simple, clean art style. But the guest illustrations for the series are anything but simple! So, it's great to see that °Tens took on a more complex illustration and made it his own with vector gradients so fine at points it more resembles painting that vectoring. Do have a look at this beautiful wallpaper!

It is band actually, I just noticed they have a new album coming out.

....Nope. *Shrugs at Loftydreamer*. Is it a good song (I sound picky when I typed that).

$Loftydreamer 30 minutes ago
You ever listen to 30 Seconds to Mars?

~Loleta 33 minutes ago
Everytime I listen to Long dream, it reminds me of Shiki (XD) emoticon. Maybe that could be her theme song (?). Oh, and don't forget "Transformers". That song really reminds me of Beat. (the remix of the song also remids me of Linkin Park for some unknown reason).

No pumping me for info. =P Anyhow I haven't been able to talk to kitty much of late, our schedules are too different. Also I'm fairly busy.

@BCB Enough to have the gist of you two minxes, but nothing deeper. @$Sashi How are you tonight? @~Loleta So catchy, I always loved it. Leah is great! Long Dream is great too.

Haha yeah, so what all do you know?? :P

~Loleta 1 hour 2 minutes ago
Nothing much (although, it feels like I'm forgetting something). Anyways, I'm listening to "Calling" from T.W.E.W.Y, and thinking up a poem for my group. I'm becoming worried, though. I don't like working on poems out of work. I want to write poems out of

Greetings!

@~Khairi: pay 5$ or above..and get a $ status and you can download all you want.
Oh and that applies to wallpapers only. You will still have to use papers to download scans.

(~_~) emoticon Version 6 sounds great but, I'm still a little confused about the importance of clearing ones DNS cache.

(o_o) emoticon Could someone give me a quick explanation what difference that will make when surfing Version 6 other then speed??

DNS is used to resolve a domain name (animepaper.net) to an IP address (currently 67.202.99.53). To speed up your internet experience, your system caches the results of DNS queries rather than consults a DNS server with a DNS lookup every time one is required. The downside of this though is that it relies on an assumption that the IP address for a given domain will not change.

To minimise downtime, I assume Bantam intends to have the front end server for animepaper v6 up and running simultaneously with animepaper v5. V6 will be made live simply by a change to DNS records to point the domain name animepaper.net to the V6 server's IP. What this means is that if a particular user were to attempt to browse to animepaper after the changeover and they had cached DNS entries for the site, they would not be directed to the correct server for front end content and would not see the changes made. Worse still, if any of the subdomains used to serve content change in their role for the new version, requests for content from these servers may fail resulting in a broken mess until the cache is cleared either manually or naturally.

Kath is almost right, however v5 and v6 are both on the new server, we're proxying v5 through apache on lighttpd howver v6 uses lighttpd directly with fastcgi, it's just a switch of a configuration file to swap it over when the time is right. The DNS change requested here is because the old server is seriously slow compared to the new one, if you like speed you should clear your cache, however the TTL on our dns changes is pretty low so you'll probably be on the new one already unless your ISP's dns has a large retention time.

(XD) emoticon Thanks for the info! That's the kind of information I was hopeful for!
