I wish you all a very Happy New Year. Party, be merry, but please be responsible.
December 9th, 2004: So I was playing around with the graphics program that came with my Hewlett Packard and I realized I could do gradients with it. So of course I just HAD to try and make some new avies. I'm actually surprised with myself, I think they look half decent. There's about a dozen or so of them. Some Brooke/Peyton from One Tree Hill, a couple more Emma/Shalimar ones, a new Xena/Gabrielle and some Lauren Lee Smith and Kate Beckinsale to round it out.
December 5th, 2004: I was trying to get myself into the holiday spirit, so I went looking around for some Christmas fonts and images. Found some, so I procrastinated in studying for my finals in order to make some new avies. There's about 25 holiday ones, mostly Christmas, with a couple little winter type ones and a single New Year's Eve fireworks animation as well. Plus I added two new BAM avies. They're essentially the same one, only different sizes.
December 1st, 2004: I really wasn't planning on adding anymore new music vids at least until after Christmas. But you know what they say about even the best laid plans. So I have a new one, Bianca/Maggie oriented of course. I'm actually rather happy with how it turned out surprisingly. You can find it in the Multimedia section of the site, as usual.
November 22nd 2004: Well even though I'm without my beloved Paint Shop Pro, I decided to try my hand and some new avies, the first since the beginning of the summer. Most of them are of the girl loving variety of course. A couple new Xena's, since I've somehow managed to get myself back into the show. One new Eliza, a whole new category in the various section dedicated to my latest love, Mutant X, and a couple of random movie sappho kissage.
November 15th 2004: Just a really quick update to apologize for the lack of aformentioned updates. I've been working to recode the site to switch servers. It's been a big task since I have a good 20-30 seperate pages that I was lucky enough to get around well with in Angelfire's Webshell. One or two clicks and everything is updated. Now that I'm using my own server with FTP it's a little less simple. But on the upside I think I've been getting a little bit better with HTML, so score one for the web design challenged webmaster.
Anyway, the new address for No Other Way is, shockingly, www.no-other-way.com. So if you have me linked, which I love you for to begin with, I'd love you to eternity and back if you'd switch the url over to the new one.
Almost everything has been moved over, so look for some new content in the next couple of weeks.
October 8th 2004, 12:05 am: I thought I'd be getting better with the updates, looks like I went in the other direction. I DO have another BAM video to make up for it, at least I HOPE it makes up for it. As always, you can find that in the multimedia section of the site.
I also have Animation Shop back, so new avies might be on the way. I'm not sure how great they'll be though, since I don't have Paint Shop Pro anymore, but I'm gonna give it a go anyway.
I think I might also end up archiving the old updates. This page is starting to get a little too long and cluttered. And with only two or so months left in 2004 I think it might be a good idea.
Just one last quick note, a happy belated birthday to the site, which went online a year ago back in September. Go NOW!
September 8th 2004, 2:45 am: I've been sick the last couple of days, and before that there was so much going on in my personal life that I haven't gotten the chance to update all that often.
As penance, I do have a new video, BAM of course. I was little loopy when I made it, and the song choice seems to reflect that a bit. As always, hit me with an email if you enjoy it.
August25th 2004, 2:45 am: Small update, just a quick note to say that I added another Bianca and Maggie fanfic. The one that I had been writing on and off for about eight months. So it's pretty long in comparison to my other one, November Rain. If you do decide to give it a glance, please do drop me an email to let me know if you liked it or not. I'm a feedback junkie, what can I say?
August 18th 2004, 1:45 am: I'm beginning to think that I never sleep, all these updates seem to be in the middle of the night. Anyway, not a huge update. I haven't been amassing much stuff to add to the site in recent months, so just a few things here and there are getting uploaded.
Another new video, again of the BAM variety is all I have to offer this go around. Check it out in the Multimedia section if you're interested
August 10th 2004, 2:30 am: Sorry about the lack of updates folks. My computer crashed around the middle of July, and with it went almost ALL of my files. 13 GB's worth of things. 100 bucks later it was fixed and then a few days later our phone line goes kablooey. So combine the two and it makes for about a month of computer problems. I'm just getting back into the swing of things now.
I do have a piece of fanart I added tonight. I actually made it before the crash. When I still had PSP and all my nifty little filters. And surprise surprise, it's of Bianca and Maggie.
July 7th, 12:30 am: I've finally gotten at least one completed All My Chidren fic now. So I added a new little section for my BAM fics in the FanFiction section. This completed one isn't the BIG one I've been working on since Christmas, in fact it's a rather short little diddy. It was inspired from a funeral I went to a week or so back, so fair warning, it's a little dark.
July 1st, 11pm: Got another new BAM video made and uploaded. I couldn't help but use the new clips from last week. Maggie confessed! She loves Binks! Party time! Or in my case, vid making time.
June 18th, 12am: Just a very quick update to let everyone know that I finally got all of the videos back online. I broke down and bought server space, so there shouldn't be any more problems.
I also ended up buying a domain while I was at it, so this summer I'm going to try and get everything moved over there. I'll probably end up splitting the fanfic and the multimedia stuff up into two seperate sites, keep things a little more organized that way. I'd love to hear your imput on that, good idea, not so good?
Lastly, I have a couple of new avies that just need to be crunched and then I'll get to posting those as well.
May 16th, 1am: I actually got the new BAM video done quicker than I thought I would, whaddya know?! LOL Anyway, that's all posted up for your enjoyment if that's what floats your boat.
I'm actually debating on posting two BAM fics that I've slowly been working on the last few months. Neither are anywhere close to be completed, but I've been hitting the books pretty hard the last few weeks, and they've been stalled out a little bit. If ya'll think posting them, unfinished, is a good idea, drop me a line and let me know.
Lastly, I have a batch of new avies ready to go, all I need to do is upload them. So be on the lookout for those in the next few days.
May 12th, 12am: Well the update is a tad bit earlier than completely the middle of the night. I guess that's progress, huh? LOL
Anyway, I just added about 30 new avies to the site. All of them are categorized as 'Randoms'. They're all basically patterns and brushes from PSP that I turned into moving avies. Nothing stupendous really.
Also, look for a new Bianca and Maggie video sometime in the next week or so. I'm almost done with finals, and I've had the hankering to make a new one.
May 9th, 2am: Wow, two updates in almost as many days. Hell must be freezing over. LOL Not a whole lot tonight though. Just a couple of new Carly Pope avies. And a new-ish BAM wallpaper that I finally got uploaded.
May 5th, 1am: I've been getting worse and worse with updating on a regular basis, haven't I? I do have a reasonable good excuse though. Combined with finals for the Spring semester, I've been working on a fanlisting. It's for Keeshonds, a breed of doggy, the kind that I happen to have and love so very much. If by any chance at all that you're interested, you can check it out right here:
As for an update, not much at all, a couple of new avies, and I do stress a couple. As soon as classes and finals finish up in a week though, I'm hoping to get back on track. I've been writing a BAM fic that's gotten to about thirty pages and now I'm stuck. So I want to get that finished up. And I had a request for a new BAM vid. So I'm trying my darndest to get that done as well. Just try and hang in there with me :)
April 7th, 1am: Again with the late night updates, huh? Anyway, not a whole lot this go around. I added about 20 new avies and icons to the site. Mostly 7th Heaven, and BAM one here or there. I also added my latest wallpaper, which happens to be of the Maggie/Bianca variety. You find that in the multimedia section under Fan Art if you're interested.
March 19th, 3am: I seem to make alot of three am updates lol. Anyway, this isn't a huge update anyway, I just added about 35 new avies to the site. Most of them are of The L Word and Queer as Folk. But there are also a couple of new Seth and Summer avies from The OC as well. Plus, what update could be complete without at least a little BAM love. This time you'll find three new icons of my two favorite girls.
March 15th, 3am: Just a quickie update to let you know I added about 15 avatars to the site. Most can be found in the Buffy section. But I did make two more BAM flavored icons. I even learned how to make ones that look like little mini movies! Go me!
March 13th, 2am: Just a short update to let you all know that I FINALLY got my Popular fanfictions uploaded. It took me six months, but I finally did it. LOL Trust me, they really aren't worth that kind of wait. I honestly wasn't going to post them, but I figured, what the heck.
March 7th, 8am: I uploaded my Christmas themed Buffy/Willow fanfiction. I wrote it almost three years ago, and I had intended to re-write, but I've honestly just not gotten around to it, and unfortunately, I don't see myself going back and doing it anytime soon. So I present it to you as is.
< March 4th, 2004 10:00pm: Well I finally got the BAM video made that I've been trying to get to since the kiss aired last month. You can find it right here You'll know which one it is by the flashing NEW sign of course. :P I actually really like this one, I think it turned out well, plus, smoochie footage to boot!
March 1st, 2004 3:00am: Sorry for the lapse in updates. But to repent, I bring avie goodness! New Aly Hannigan, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Carly Pope, The L-Word, and BAM ones to be precise. Snag at will if they're up your alley.
February 12th, 2004 1:00am:Just a short little update with about twenty new avies. All of The L Word again. Mostly Dana related, since she's my fave girl. I have yet to get started on the new BAM vid I want to make. Hopefully this weekend, if not sooner.
February 5th, 2004 11:00pm: Well it seems I went on an avie making kick lately. I added about 40 new ones. Most of them are from the new Showtime drama, The L-Word. Great show, I think if you're into the girl lovin', it's a must see show.
Look for another new BAM video sometime in the next few days as well. My girls finally kissed! So how can I NOT use that footage to make a vid? ;)
January 31st, 2004: Just another quick update at the end of the month. Wow, January went really fast, didn't it?
Anyway, I added a couple of Alyson Hannigan avies to the Buffy section. A couple are actually Aly and Alexis, just because the pictures from their wedding were too cute not to make into animations. Also, a few new Carly Pope avies in the Popular section.
January 22nd, 2004: It slipped my mind that I had added yet another BAM related video a few days ago. I didn't even think to make an update. LOL Guess college is really to fry my brain out.
January 14th, 2004: Just another quick update. I added another new video in the multimedia section. BAM again of course. Not getting off that kick anytime soon I don't think. Hey, won't hear me complaining. ;)
January 11th, 2004: Just a quick update today. I've added a few avies in various sections. A couple of Aly related ones, some more BAM ones, and one of James and Tony from Buffy.
January 4th, 2004: Wow, can you believe we're already in 2004! It feels just like yesterday when everyone was worried about the Y2K bug, and now here it is four years later. Man how time flies.
Anyway, just a small update today. I posted a new Challenge, just the second one. I apologize for not getting the Christmas one up, but this one is a winter challenge, so the entire month of January can be used to focus on it if you wanna give it a try.
Also, look for another new BAM video to be posted in the next day or so. I finished it, I just haven't had the time to upload it yet. But I'll get around to that soon.
