EPIC SEEK!

Friday, June 27th, 2008

So, I whipped up a little search "application," I guess that’s what you would call it. Anyways, I fixed up a little webpage that will allow me to search some of my favorite search engines quickly and easily.  I originally made it just for my own use, but I figured that others might want to make use of it. So, I present to you all:

EPIC SEEK

Fullscreen wallpapers now available!

Sunday, March 2nd, 2008

I figured it’s not any more trouble for me to size the wallpapers for full-screen monitors, so from this point forward I’ll start posting full-screen wallpapers at 1600×1200 resolution!

NoWai! is now on MySpace

Friday, February 29th, 2008

Yup. I’ve created a MySpace account for NoWai! Now it’s much easier for you to leave me comments and suggestions for the types of wallpaper you’d like to see in the future. For anyone out there that has a MySpace account, I would really appreciate it if you would add NoWai! to your friends. I won’t spam you or anything, but I will probably post a bulletin once a week giving an update about the wallpapers I’ve posted during that week. It’s gonna be great!

The Simpsons Movie

Friday, July 27th, 2007

Best movie I’ve seen all summer. I don’t write reviews, so go somewhere else to read about it, I’ll just say it was great.

EarthBound!

Friday, July 13th, 2007

EarthBound is my all-time favorite game for the Super Nintendo (probably in my top-4 all-time favorite games for any platform). It is going to be available for download to the Wii’s Virtual Console soon. I’m asking every Wii owner out there, buy EarthBound for the VC. It’s sales will be a primary deciding factor as to whether or not Mother 3 (the Japanese name for the games) will finally receive a US release.

P.S. I’ve been really busy recently, but the wallpapers will be returning soon. Promise.

A Friendly Reminder

Monday, June 11th, 2007

Keep an eye on my DeviantArt page. I’ll be posting some wallpapers there that I can’t post here, due to the restrictions some stock photographers put on their photos.

Note: I’ve also added a link to the page on the sidebar, under “Blogroll.”

Joost

Friday, April 6th, 2007

So, I came upon the Joost website earlier today and decided I wanted to try it out, but you have to be invited to beta test it. So I figured one of my loyal viewers might have an invite they would like to pass along to me. If you happen to be that kind soul who wants to share the love with me. Drop me a line.

Many thanks.

Email

Sunday, December 24th, 2006

I’ve been getting lots of email lately, and that’s great. I wish I could respond to you all, but unfortunately I only speak English. Yet, many of my viewers are from all over the world, and therefore I recieve emails in many languages. So don’t think that because you don’t receive a response from me that I am ignoring your mail, I just don’t speak any language but English.

So here’s my one-stop canned response for most of the languages that I receive emails in, that I can’t respond personally to.

Non parlo italiano.
Ich spreche nicht Deutsches.
No hablo español.
Je ne parle pas français.
Eu não falo o português.
? ?? ?????? ??-??????
Nihongo ga dekimasen

By the way, Merry Christmas to everyone!

Hotlinking

Monday, December 18th, 2006

Sigh. Welp, apparently you can’t do anything the easy way anymore. Here I am taking my time making wallpapers for the benefit of humanity and someone goes and starts hotlinking my pictures without even crediting Nowai for the images. Bad juju, people. If this becomes a more rampant problem than it is currently, rather than renaming the image file so that the hotlinked image shows as a broken image, I will start to replace them with some really nasty images. And then, those vile images will start to show up in the hotlinked images place on the offending blog, forum, wherever it is hotlinked.

This will be my only warning for hotlinkers, thieves, etc… stop doing it.

End transmission.

Small Update

Thursday, November 16th, 2006

First off, no I haven’t forgotten about this place, but technically I’m still considering myself on hiatus. This is just a little update regarding why I’ve been away for such an extended period.

I’ve been stepping up the job search substantially; that has been the primary reason. Second, in my free time I’ve been playing Battlefield 2142 and Neverwinter Nights 2 mostly.
