Peachy Project Updates

Now that we are quickly approaching our second Will, Strife and Ayu-Vogue discography update deadline, I figure it's time for an explanation as to what I've been up to.

After spending the better part of six months on a thesis, I graduated last June and thought I'd have a couple of months off to leisurely make updates here. That has obviously not been the case. At this time, I do not foresee any significant content updates being made until September at the earliest. Will will take the backseat to Strife.

I appreciate your patience and hope to have a better game plan (and something to show for it) later this year.

Strife, Will, and the Peachy Projects list have been updated to reflect this prolonged informational hiatus. Fanlistings will continue to be updated regularly.

I have three more weeks of classes. Given the sheer volume of work I have to wrap up in this time, I'm going to unofficially add a month to all ACC and Ayu-Vogue Discography revamp projects.

After graduation in June, the content revamp schedule will be as follows (in order of priority)

1. 7th Heaven
2. Will
3. Strife
4. Ayu-Vogue merchandise and analog discography

I don't foresee Sunshine being significantly edited after ACC, so it may have its update earlier than 7th Heaven or Will, and NEVER EVER will most likely remain AC-only until I feel like changing it. Grace is also scheduled to have a navigational revamp which will probably occur earlier than the projected content revamps, and the Super Secret Project will also likely be treated as a priority. 

Gloriosa Galleries have officially migrated to the new MR! Museum, though the content links are kind of a mess. I'm really okay with that for now.

In conclusion: I'm going to stay in lurker mode for awhile still. Fanlisting members will still be added, and only big Ayu news will be reported.

Classes begin again today and the Peach-Arrow Network will again enter it's semi-comatose state (not that it was updated much over the break). Fanlistings and Ayu news will continue to be updated regularly, and I'll continue to chip away at the new content at Strife until I have time to really invest in my projects.

Ayu-Vogue has been the only site consistently updated through the break with news updates, including one today.

Ayu-Vogue Network

• Ayu-Vogue
  • Updated with the new First Press bonus for her latest single
• and then
  • New visitor poll

All networked fanlistings have been upgraded. Let me know if you have any problems joining or otherwise updating your information.

Yeah, nothing's going to get done this quarter. I'll do my best to get the first phase of the Ayu-Vogue revamp (new discography and layout) up by next week Friday, and there will be a few housekeeping issues addressed later today, but no other major projects will receive significant attention until December.

The autumn quarter begins tomorrow, bringing the Peach-Arrow Network's Summer Progress to an end.  I will be busy with an independent study on top of my usually classes, but I will spend my extra time on the following network projects:

1. The Ayu-Vogue Network Discography is currently under-going a major overhaul. This will hopefully be uploaded in October. Other sections will follow (time allowing).
2. The Midgar-Rock Organization revamp will continue. All artwork and screen captures (+new ones) have been moved to the new database, and the scope of the informational sections is in the processes of being refined to contextualize shrines rather than compete with them.
3. Any leftover energy will be alloted to Melody

My host has officially gotten back to me to verify that all the database issues have been sorted out. Thanks everyone!

Peach-Arrow Network database is totally broken, so all fanlistings, galleries, and the Ayu-Vogue news blog are all down.

Host has been notified and hopefully everything will be straightened up soon. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

Edit: Haven't heard back from our host, but they seem to have worked their magic anyway. Please reply here or contact me if you have trouble with the fanlistings or news blog.

Peach-Arrow Network

• Peach-Arrow
  • Revamped the Quick Contact Form to match the current layout and have more comprehensive contact options.
  • Fixed some truly unfortunate typos in the site descriptions
• Hosted Fanlistings
  • ANGEL'S SONG hit its 250 milestone earlier this month, most of which joined while it was under Veronica's care.

Midgar-Rock Organization

• Strife
  • Re-did the back-end to make the navigation more dynamic. I'm more excited about this than you are, I think.
  • Cloud Cake 2008 now has its own section

I spent the last few days sort of in a state of perpetual exhaustion, but I was able to finally get back on the ball last night. The new Forget Me Not will be uploaded tomorrow or Tuesday. Or tonight if I'm feeling particularly ambitious. Probably Tuesday.

The profile here has been updated to be less cluttered/sorta-kinda go with the domain color scheme. Coding LJ profiles makes me die inside.

After going a couple weeks with little more than a few public Peachy Service Announcements and some OMFGPSPPE, I think it's about time for another State of the Peach:

I am in my last leg of the academic quarter that's boiling down to two term papers due in mid-August, so there won't be any more substantial updates for the next week or so.

The current focus at Peach-ArrowNET is FFIX. I have a new layout for Forget Me Not coded (get a preview), but it won't be uploaded until the new informational content is written/re-written. I'm currently doing another play-through and will hopefully be able to have Melody and Forget Me Not in good -- if not less embarrassing -- shape before classes start again in late September.

Although Strife and Midgar-RockORG are still being edited, the next major project will be to get a new layout up at Ayu-VogueNET.

Peach-Arrow Network

• Peach-ArrowNET
  • After an epic battle with IE7 and months of input from my amazing friends list, the latest iteration of Peach-ArrowNET is finally live! There are still a few things left to tweak (mainly re-directing links), but it's navigable.
  • Links page has been cleaned out
• Hosted Fanlistings
  • removed both Naughty Dog fanlistings because I didn't feel like I would be able to devote proper time developing content.

As promised, all affiliates on all networks have had their affiliate pages cleaned out. If you believe the removal of your site was a mistake, please respond to the Fanlisting Affiliate post (you do not need a livejournal account to comment)

Part one of the Strife revamp will hopefully be uploaded later this week.

The fanlisting script used at Ayu-VogueNET, Midgar-RockORG, and Peach-ArrowNET has been upgraded. Please let me know of any trouble you have joining or updating your information.

State of the Peach Update: two of three term papers done. One more paper + one exam to go.

I didn't think I'd finish this before 12:00. I really didn't want to change all the update dates...

Midgar-Rock Organization

• Strife and NEVER EVER have a new affiliate: Janice's superb new shrine Pearl.

FF-character fanlistings also have updated affiliate lists. Or they should. I'm tired.

Peach-ArrowNET has been pretty dormant for the last few months. I figure it's time to check in and make sure we're all on the same page.

No, Peach-ArrowNET and its family of sites have not been abandoned. I'm still working on things, but real life commitments (as they say) have slowed the progress. I am in the midst of a heavy academic quarter and will continue to attend classes through next spring (hopefully not so many at a time).

Because the Current Projects page is a more generalized, idealistic projection than anything else, here's an outline of what's actually being worked on:

1. Currently Peach-ArrowNET is getting streamlined so as to make both updating and navigating the site list easier. This will probably (hopefully) be uploaded by the end of the month
2. Instinct is having its discography revamped. A better layout should follow eventually, but I make no promises.
   
3. Gloriosa's image galleries are being transferred to Gallery2 (see Ayu-VogueNET's gallery for an example). Making the whole domain public has been put on the backburner for awhile to focus on other projects.
4. Ayu-VogueNET's shopping guide is being re-organized and dramatically amended to make it easier to navigate and more comprehensive
5. Strife will have Crisis Core and 10th Anniversary Ultimania updates by July.
6. When I feel Strife is in decent shape, Melody and Forget Me Not will receive their due attention.

The quarter ends in early June. Although the annual magazine has been shipped out to the printer, proof approved, etc, I still have four papers to finish by the end of the quarter. Do not expect any major updates until mid-June. 

Fanlistings and Ayu-Vogue.net's news blog will continue to be updated regularly.

Thanks for your patience!
