Today I upgraded the backend server from Ubuntu 23.10 to Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and now it's put the entire server into slight disarray. Now I have to fix it all lol. That means silly_vids, Guestbook, and the currently listening is broken. Most likely will be fixed today but if not, sometime this week! ( as of 2 hours from that, it has been fixed lmao. )

Remember that now playing section that I overhauled back in JUN 8, 2024? Unfortunately that feature has been deprecated. So I will be removing this feature entirely since it always returns null.

So for quality of life of my own, for the hotlinked buttons that go missing or disappears, it'll automatically replace it with an image that'll allow me to know those that dont work for I can update them!

Uhh so i've come to realization that my site's been getting a lot of activity from a shitcoin that copied my site's code, leaving some links that lead back to my page which kinda sucks. However, those who visit/refer from those specific websites will be greeted with a message to piss off!!!!

This is going to be my official ring for the web.. whenever I get to making my site a little more on the finished side.

"Now Playing" section now has volume control. I didn't like how when you hovered over the song, it would literally play on full blast like a literal jumpscare lmao. Also included a mute button.

Introducing silly_vids! I wanted to make this page a long time ago, but I wanted it to be easier to manage. Since I already know that neocities alone doesn't allow backend abilities such as being able to programmatically list files in a directory without a backend language. Now that I have that backend server, I can do that now!

"Now Playing" title now switches between p and marquee do be more animated.

Ever since the discontinuation of 123Guestbook.com, I decided I wanted to make my own version of the guestbook but managed by me! If you're curious on why I chose this design, it's based off the Photo Channel from the Nintendo Wii!

` The "Yeah!" Button

I also added a new feature for the Guestbook called the "Yeah!" button. It's based off the old and gone Miiverse's Yeah! I put it there for the trend that was on twitter and more likely will keep it. It keeps track of the every single time someone clicks the button by keeping track of the user's public iPv4 Address. However, I might remove this feature soon and just put it as a Local Storage than using that data to keep track. I mean, it makes the feature better, but I don't want to scare people away thinking I'm stealing their ip or something lol.

We now got a backend server baby!!! All backend related tasks will be handled at api.theabsoluterealm.com! But you must be wondering, what exactly did I use? Well I found this place called Linode that I found to be the cheapest option for me to do some small, quick api calls!

So the "Now Playing" section has been overhauled. When you hover over the album cover, it will actually play the song! Thanks to the use of my newly bought backend server! This was actually inspired from the really cool Discover Quickly feature!

The absolute realm buttons are now downloadable on click to encourage not hotlinking. I've come to an understanding that since I'm adding a LOT of JS that maybe hotlinking is not the best move for me anymore lol. Loading times are starting to become a priority now!

Well since nekoweb is now a place for my other upcoming sites, I now have a button linking to either neocities or nekoweb!

The Nekoweb is actually really cool, especially with the ability to customize your page's screenshot feature on the explore tab.

Increased volume of all tracks!

Just got added to the CSS JOY Web ring!

Increased volume of all tracks!

NEW settings panel! You are now able to control the displaying of these options!
- You are now able to control the displaying of these options!

• Particles
• Waves
• Voices
• Animated Background
• Skip Transition to Main?
• Logo Display

- Also pressing F8 goes "Cinematic Mode".

Added more music to the playlist.

Fixed the issue where the song does not stop playing when the transition to the MAIN page is initiated.

Fixed shinto speaking right when you call their status. Optimized the code some more and fixed a problem where certain charcters weren't being outputted right. For example, " ' " was being shown as " ' "

Ui changes

So it appears the autoplay has stopped working on this page, well at least for me. So to ensure that things work out right, If the user interacts with the screen when the page is loaded, the music will play on it's own!

I cannot just stay on one page to work on. I literally go bouncing from one thing to the next when the idea comes to my head. I'm making slight changes to the UI to what I like it to be!

Nothing too major I think. I forgot about the folks that don't use javascript. Did a checkup on things making sure the site is still operable without the heavy use of JS.

So it appears I have not been staying on top of this side of the page. So today, I have remade the tooltip function that was based off the wz_tooltip.js by Walter Zorn that I initially was using. My goal is to reverse engineer most of the scripts I've used from others to eventually make my own that I have all control over. While also improving the code by making it optimized for my own page!

Added the Self-Insert Web Ring to the page.

Happy New Year folks! I made the New Years Theme a little more lengthier. The theme will now be visible from the 1st to the 10th!

Oh my, it's been a little while. However, more snow!!!

Added an FPS counter for extra things!

Gave more spooky vibes to the aesthetic.

Added more songs to the Halloween themed playlist!

Fixed random issue with the fullscreen elements/modals not staying fixed to the screen. ( How the heck does filter change something like that..? )

Added more songs to the Halloween themed playlist!

Changed title for neocities

Made it so the thumbnail changes color periodically

Finally added custom cursors

Replaced MASTODON link to BLUESKY

Added a new song to the playlist!

Extra ui elements have been added on screen. No functionality yet it will come by soon.

I've been working on a new page behind the scenes.

You may notice some things in the background.

I haven't actually started on this place yet but so far its made some huge changes since just being a png type of page. It's all animated and cute now!

So like.. I'm trying to work on an achievement system using the localstorage. I do not know when I'm going to be done with this but uhhh.. yeah.

Gave his page a background featuring a collage of images.

Added a volume slider and mute button! Horray! Also using howler library to handle most of the music stuffs!

Gave her page a background featuring a collage of images.

Added a new theme called enby. You can try it out by clicking the nonbinary button!

I wanted to stray from using pre-rendered footage for this page for I can lessen down thew loading time and have more control of what I wanted to do. The particles are now interactable!

Added some more songs to the pile!

Added a logo for the page!

Finally fixed the clock to be 12-hour time!

The STARSHOCK button has been removed from the page until further notice. The developement for the game has ceased and I'll put it back once I get bakc to working on it!

Hue Spectrum Cycle colors got changed to make it a little more closer to the views of the rainbow :3

Removed the ring off the MAIN page. Saw that the Yesterweb ring got discontinued unfortunately. Twas an honor!

bucket and melonland surf club!

I've always wanted to add a surf button to the dex. There's so many buttons on the page so why not test your luck and press a button to go a random page from the dex's list!

Well honestly.. I forgot to do that lmao

I guess it's the first time I actually mention a 404 page update / addition. Some of them I put lots of time into, and some I just made for the meme! Good luck finding them all..?

I'd also like to mention that this was the first update that I made on the local disk first THEN uploaded to the server. Have any of you all noticed that the I usually update the page live on the server? One day you may end up on the server and there some random junk on the page because I run tests/updates on the live server which is funny sometimes just because the folks that stumble on the page mid update just see things out of place then it disappears in the next few seconds or minutes, but I think I'll just stick to updating the server on the local disk then pushing the update to the server, sorries!

All I did was change the font to GeoSans since it's the font that I use for the first index page

So you know when you click shinto on the MAIN page, it shows the recent status.cafe status. This time, I have it more animated now so yay :D

Trying to keep the EARTHBOUND effect consistent, so I added the little text box selectors on the bottom right of each text box!

I haven't fully came up with a style yet for this page, but it's going to update slowly overtime.. I'm sorta getting an idea rolling in.

Was it just me or when I found out about the null ring.. the ability to join it wasn't exactly working? It kept giving me a DNS error but I guess recently this week, it just started working for me!

So I decided to try out TinyPNG/JPG to help out with loading issues with the page and turns out, it worked amazingly well! I was able to cut down the amount of space usage at about -88%!

So like, I've had SO MANY things on the backlog for a while. The Quite Costful Sanctuary is supposed to a "shrine" page while also being a collections page as well. The first thing I'm going to work on are the plushies. So far ever since the iOS 16 update dropped, It makes cropping out objects in a photo fairly easy!

I've been struggling with getting the desktop version's background to load properly on the mobile version. After many different methods of optimizations and compressions, I think I've got it to a point where the page should be easily loadable now! In fact, I think I'll try some more compressing but for the ENTIRE page. Not sure when I'm going to give it a go yet though.

I'm probably going to mention this a lot since I tend to add a lot of easter eggs to the page. Most of them are literally done by whatever keys you press while being on the MAIN page. I'm not sure how I'm going to explain that to users that come across the page for the first time, but we'll find a way sooner or later!

When I say referral, I mean I've added a new way to access the page from the physical world? For exmaple. I've placed stickers around my campus that have QR codes on it that lead to my website, however if you were to scan the QR code, the page would react differently telling the user congrats for finding the sticker!

But for this case, I gathered some NFC tags, a laminator, and some special matte photo paper and made myself a fursona badge recently because I'm going to take a trip to a con with some of my buddies! The badge was drawn by me and has an NFC tag inside so if you "boop" the badge, it'll take you to the website saying something like "nice to meet you!" while also displaying the badge that you booped from me! Pretty cool right?!

Cuz why not?

I dont know why I didn't have the spotify one open.. lol.

Well since the page looks like a 3DS, why not make thew style consistent!

Yay, more Junya Nakano!!

So it appears that when linux users went to the MAIN page, the text looked all squashed together vertically. I assumne that the line height is what fixed it all. I wonder why the line height is so small for linux..?

I wanted the pages to have some transitions because it makes it feel more alive ya know? This only works for desktop users because mobile has sooo many issues for loading the pages in time.

Just a small update that make the update bar scroll itself back to the top when left alone for about 3-5 seconds. Give it a try!

I got sick and tired of the ethereal background loading so slow for some users so I decided to split the video into two layers. The particles being its own file and the flowing waves as another file. They're both roughly 2mb so I hope that can load better for most of everyone who visits the page now. Not only that but I added a new track to the page too! It's Angelic by Junya Nakano cuz I REALLY love Junya's work!! It fits so well ^.^

The layout's width looks like it got smaller right? The buttons and web rings have been distributed on the left and right of the grid because I didnt like how clunky the footer was. I plan on adding some extra assets on the right and left for visual effect. Not sure when that'll happen but yeah.

I just recently got added to the furry ring! yipee!

Meant to mention that I get analytics/statistics of the page from GoatCounter! It's free and easy to use!

For a quick edit of the page, I decided to add a rainbow look for New Years, while also recycling the confetti from my birthday theme! I mean regardless of resuing some assets, I believe the rainbow look is really awesome looking, and quite satisfying for how far this page has gone.
I started this page in February 2022 for quite a few reasons, but one of them were because I loved the times when the internet felt more personal. I got sick of how mundane sites had become as a result of corporate capitalism taking over everything. As such, I wanted to use this place as an escape from my current reality; like a happy place for me. Thanks neocities team for making this possible for me!

Also, look how far the page has come! This was literally the main page, or really.. the only page!

For holiday themes, I didn't want them to save under the user's localStorage because if the holiday passes, the user is still going to see said previous holiday's theme when it's supposed to be set to DEFAULT or whatever theme they had it assigned to. To fix this, I had to make a condition to make sure to NOT save the theme if its a holiday!

So I found out that you can link directly to a discord profile? wowzers! Sketchfab button got replaced since I don't even have account for that page anyways :p

I mean, even though it's ready that doesn't mean I won't make last minute changes to it here and there. Let's just say that the initial look of it is done!

I'm trying out imgbox to see how it plays out since I heard it was really good. I appreciate the hotlink! So far the only things that are bring used by imgbox are those images that you see right below!

I was meaning to do this sooner but at least we're getting to it, right? I don't have a full idea on how it's going to look design wise but for now I'll have it slightly similar to the current update iframe to have the skeleton down.

Sooo I finally found out what to put to fix that annoying gap on the right side.. simply just by putting "overflow: overlay;". lol
