1999 - History


12/26/99

Have a wild guess what this is!? Yup, it's a full scratchbuild of my Zakurelo redesign, by super modeler, Mr. Ken Chan. And he's cool enough to let me post the preview of it here! Can't wait to see when it's finish.

More images: 1, 2, 3, 4

Oh, (a day late) merry Christmas everyone.

I win, I win!
The
Rainbow10 contest, that is. Thanks to everyone who has voted for me voluntarily and those whom I bullied into.
I can assure you all that the prize money will go into the good cause of my world domination goal. (ie: me buy more mecha). Yay!

12/09/99
Add a link to Stephen Serra's Sogni di Gundam.
Modified the GM Sniper and Char's Zaku page a little with an added CG page on each.

Man, I've just had my machine RAM doubled to 128 MB. Whooa, what a total different! Now I can photoshop, edit web pages and play Kingpin simultaneously while downloading porn in the background! Ok, not quite.. but it's close.

11/22/99
Finished the Char's Zaku page (kinda). This one took me like, 8 months to finally complete! (finished at the end of Sept) I almost felt sorry having finished it. Lemme know what ya think.

The GM Sniper Custom II is also done. This, together with the Zaku are the only models I finished in quite a long while. Gotta cut back on starting new projects and concentrate on getting stuff done...

-Revised the about page with a little bit more info on the page. Nothing particularly new.
-Fixed link to Gunpapa's web site to refelect his new URL.

11/10/99
Rainbow 10 has put up the page for their photo contest today, here. Check out my work at #35 and 36. Quite a lot of entries this year. Please take some times to vote for the work that you think is best.

11/04/99
My friend finally managed to BSing his way through Hygog's background info huh huh. So the page is now finished (after being in the can forever). Also added more info to the Jagd Doga page.

Everyone! Go buy Hobby Japan's December issue and check out my stint as a TV Champion contestant on page 230-235! Woohoo. Is this the coolest issue ever or what!? <G> Ahh, my fifteen minutes of fame...

10/28/99
Just when I decided to move, Fiberia which has been down for 5 days just went back up all of a sudden! Go figure. Oh well, I have no space left there anyway.

This place should last for quite a while though.

There's a new link banner in the link page. Link it, before others beat you to it! Heh heh

10/27/99
Well, since you're here that means you know about the move! ^^;

It was quite abrupt, that's for certain. But fiberia has been down for no apparent reason, and I don't when it will be back up... or whether it will be. So that forced me to move here where it used to be my former mirror site.

Anyway, now that you're here, please update your bookmark accordingly. Those who have linked to this page please alter the address into this new one:

10/24/99
The in progress page of GP-01 and Xeku-Eins are now pictured, along with more elaborate descriptions.

I totally maxed out the space here, so a move is imminent! Hell, Fiberia even got banned by my own ISP's proxy.

10/19/99
Add Jagd Doga to the gallery. Which is by no mean a new work. I'd just gotten around to edit its page.

10/07/99
A reminder for all the people in Japan:
Don't forget to watch TV Champion tonight! I heard this year's contest is pretty interesting... heh heh heh ;-)

10/05/99
GASP! I've been blocked from accessing/updating my site the past 2 weeks! Turns out Fiberia got black-listed as a source of SPAMmer or something, thus causing my ISP inability to connect.

During which, the counter has gone pass 10,000 already. So thanks to everyone who visited. Ok, here's what's on the menu today:

-Zaku III's gallery is up.
-Added a few (rough) pictures to some in-progress items.
-Update
stock database.
-Two new cool links added.

Some public announcements:
All you metal heads out there, tune in to
Full Metal Jacket, a radio program co-hosted by a friend of mine; Jaron Stone. Airing every Wednesday night 8-10 PM EST.

And now, back to our regular programs...

More E-mail woes...

It appears that my e-mail server is acting up again this past few days. If you have sent me anything the during 14-15, please resend it again.

My other address is sazabi@netscape.net. In case the main one bounces.

09/14/99
Okay, now that I'm back, let's get on with show.

First off, I'd like to officially thank my friend Espada (go visit his web site 10 times now, everyone!) and Mr. Max Watanabe for all the helps and for such a wonderful (?) stay I had in Japan the past 2 weeks. These people will forever earn a place in the Church of the Machine's Hall of Fame!

I'd also want to extend my thanks to Zero create Inc. for getting me there and putting up working with me.

Check out my Hobby Japan debut from the latest issue! That's right, I finally made the long-awaited HJ appearance (on page 13). Here!

The JAF-CON photos are now done. I had opened up a new, article section to place them. And yeah, I know, it's already out in HJ, but I rather spend time building kits rather than edit/resizing them, you know (hence the lateness). Anyway, these are more focused on Gundam (what else..) than on HJ. It's currently locted in other sever, due to my lack of space here. So you'll see some banners...

Speaking of which, I'm running out of space fast! Anyone knows where I can get tons of space without ad banners or popups?

08/16/99
Complete the GM Command gallery with more pics.
Having finally gotten to edit the page;
Gundam Mk.III and Gelgoog Marine: Cima Custom is now up, despite these kits being finished for more than a few years...
Also updated the in progress
GM Sniper II.

Well, looks like I'll be off to Japan (yet again) this week. This time for half a month, and will be returning on 5th of september. As usual, no update or e-mail answering during this time. Feel free to leave the message, I'll get back to it once I returned.

If I can manage, I'll try update tomorrow with the JAF-CON photos as well. There's just too many god damn pics!

08/05/99
Some minor additions/corrections to the MS background of both GM pages uploaded yesterday. That was a quick, eh?

08/04/99
Made a gallery for the many GMs. But only GM Command is up now.
More award is placed in the info page.

07/28/99
This site has just been selected a Cool Site by the Netscape Open Directory! All riiiight!

Hopefully within next week, I'll have some pictures from JAF-CON up. There's quite a few good looking kits there this year. Stay tuned.

07/15/99
Yeeeeeeeehah~~!!
I'm going to JAF-CON baby!!
That is to say, I'll be out of reach during the 16th to 22nd. I'll get back to replying e-mails and site updating when I get back.

Added link to Louis's Spring Action page here.

06/29/99
I've just found out that there's a problem with my mail server! So, if you e-mailed me in the past month and has got no reply, it's probably due to the fact that I didn't receive it. If it's important (like, notifying me that I win a lottery or something), please re-send using my alternate address at:
sazabi@netscape.net

Also, I'll be out of the country for a few days from the 1st-4th of July. So I won't be able to answer mail during that time, I'll resume when I get back. Just so you know.

No actual update this time.

06/18/99
It took longer than I anticipated, but now the Desert Zaku's page is finished along with another non-Gundam work in the gallery. But hey, works that pay come first. ;-)

More pictures and description of current projects for Galbady ß and GM Sniper Custom 2 in the progress section.

As if these aren't enough, I had gotten off my lazy ass and finished up the overdue page2 of both the Ball and Jegan!

Whoooa, I'm on a roll!

06/08/99
Finally, ladies and gentlemen, I now present you the Neo-Geo!
Put up pictures and description of an in progress
Char Zaku.
Also added 2 more
links.

I forgot to mention earlier. You now can access this site via:
http://come.to/the_church
You'll have to sit through a few seconds of ad though. Use it in case you want to come here without bookmark (don't tell me you can remember the actual URL!?).

Look for more update on the Desert Zaku later this week.

06/02/99
Update the Gallery with B-Club's Barzam.
And hey, today's my birthday! Everybody, say happy birthday. Now!

05/19/99
Add a couple of cool new links.
To all the people who've been asking me about some of the links in the gallery, those were basically not HTMLized yet. I hope to finish it within a week, that is if I manage to find time away from being a Zelda hermit that I am right now. ;-)

05/16/99
Progress page and links are finally up now. This site is officially out of beta! Woohoo~ Thanks to all the people who helps me with suggestions. Yeah, all 6 of you...

04/19/99
First upload.

03/25/99
Everything!
