Same problem.
Preference file, /home/httpd/maildata/gladmorin.pref, could not be opened. Contact your system administrator to resolve this issue.

Hope you get a job soon and good luck with college.  Luckily, I don't have to think about either of those just yet.  Also, didn't notice he was on vacation, thank you.

1. I trust you on this matter more than I trust myself.  Websites are important, but if you have a lot going on and are going to be stressed if you rebuild it now, wait.  We can backup or websites.  I mean, it is the least we can do you give us free websites

2. Webserver
FTP
Email
Webmail
IMAP/IMAPS
POP3/POP3S
SMTP
Email forwarding
Spam filtering
PHP


3. I have neverused SCP, so my opinion doesn't matter.

4. N/A

5. There are days when it is dow or slow, but nothing that is bothersome.  I'd give it an 9 out of 10 (take in mind that I only use the webmail right now, but I am thinking about when I use to update my site frequently).

6. If you offer a Counter Strike servers, I will change my service.  As long as the ping is good, I will be more than glad to do that.  I will probably be expanding soon, so I might even get two servers.  Besides that, I can offer irregular donations, anything I get from people on my server I will send to you, soemthing like that.  As for ideas, I think minor advertising would be good, or perhaps if you make a website like keenspace, you can make a "premium" account or something you pay for.

7. You can make a commity or somethin g with old and trusted members alike.  They review the application, make their judgement and then talk to you.  This is the best thing I can think of, not being present in any of the applications for months.




Also, I am sorry if I skipped over this, but is there any time when we know the email will be back up?  Or will you just tell us?

I have decided to make a come back.  After the hacking attempt I thought I should really stay active here again.  I don't know why, just the least I can do, I guess.  How have you all been?

My site has pretty much died, I will start something and revive it every now and then, but I haven't stayed constant with it.  Sorry Xepher, I know you trusted me .  I usually use it to upload a piucture I have made or what not.  IF you want to, you can get rid of it, but I ask that you let me keep my email address here, I do use it as my primary.

Anyway, hi!

I try to think of everyone on the internet as asexual.  Assuming things has gotten me in trouble before.  On another forum I belong to, I became chumy with someone called "Crack Monk".  Well, being a "Monk" I assumed the person was a he.  When the topic of "his" gender came up, "he" wouldn't specify, so I just kept on assuming and eventually started talking to "him" about guy stuff.  Anyway, after about a year, "he" finally told me the truth.  She's a chick.  It was akward after that.

Well, it is working now.  I went there by accident and it loaded, but I am still having problems with updating my site.  I will worry about that tomorrow.

Really?  Every time I try to go there it says "gladmorin.xepher.net can not be found.  Please check the name and try again."

I asked two more friends, one can view it, the other can't.

I was going to update my site but I was unable to connect to the ftp server, then I went to check if I could still view my site and I can't!  Also, nothing with "gladmorin.xepher.net" in it is working for me, and my friend checked some links out and nothing works for him either.  I can now acsess the ftp server, but I still can't view my site or any of the pictures I have uploaded to it.  I have everything backed up and I was thinking if clearing my account then uploading everything again would help, but I don't want to do that until that is the last optin I have.  Can anyone view my site?

It may help you to know I use a website editor.  I don't know.

What are you looking for?  So I can practice .

I got bored and wanted to do something in photoshop.  I have never tried an icy effect before, but I think it came out pretty good.  I hope you don't see this as me trying to push my way into the project or anything, I just thought it'd be fun to do.



How's it look?

I think I am pretty good with graphics and such, so I will help with design.  If you take a look at my site though, you will all see how bad I am at coding.  I will also beta test, thought I doubt I will be able to.

I can get you out any size image you want (I think) in about two days, unless I am swamped with work and life and stuff.  It would be better if you kept pressure on me, since I never work that well when no one seeems to care (which is obvious in my history of my site).  I also will have to leave in March to go to Japan.  I will be there 11 months, so I probably won't be able to help much.  It would be nice to be kept up to speed about how it is going though .

I usuually refer to PaintShop as PSP (PaintShop Pro)

I mentioned I used "PS" to make it, but I will make it more clear next time, thanks!

I don't know if any of you will use this, but I made it and thougt "what the hell, people at xepher might like it"

Okay, I made a tut using my Akira Sig.  I used PS while making this.

1.  Open up a new image any size you want ( this one is about 350x175, but I typically use a 400x150 for the background).

2.  Set the background to black (or any other color you want) and select the gradient tool (on reflected.


3.  Now,  there are two ways to go about this step:

3a. select any light color you want and make a series (about 15-20) very thin gradients going in all different directions.

3b. Select the lightest red with hue 0 and make 2 gradients, then change the hue by 50 and add 2 more.  Continue until you get to 350 hue.

4.  Now, make a new layer (ctrl+shift+n) and set the blending (right click on the layer>blending options) mode to "Difference".

5.  Repeat step 3 (using the same version you used in 3).  

6.  Merge down (ctrl+e) and set the hue and saturation (ctrl+u) to what you want.  (For this example, I set it to colorize and then to red).  Now, you should have comething like this:


7.  Now to find the image you want in it.  Here is the two I used (cropped and editted out of their background):
You can find your own picture, of course, and just edit it up with an eraser and some airbrushing.

8.  Fit the picture to the background mess around with the opacity and blending options and filters until you get something you want (I will go into a mini tut about how I went about my guys soon), add text and you are done!

Mini Tut: What I did to my renders.
1.  First I resized Kaneda (the one in the jump suit) and pasted him to the picture.

2.  I then changed the blending option to linear light:


3.  Kaneda is done, so now get Tesuo on there.  I didn't resize him and just let his face be shown.

4.  I then selected his hair:

copied it (ctrl+c) then deleted it (Delete, duh).

5. Now paste it (ctrl+v) and  fix it so it matches his hair (you will have to zoom in).

6.  Now, I set the opacity to 77


7.  Now that I am done with the pictures, I can add text.

8.  Now, the shadow in most of pictures is made by me, since I don't like the drop a shadow feature (under blendind options).  I type the word first and then Rasterize type.  After that I changed the foreground and gackground to gray and used a filter (such as smuge).

9. Now that you have your shadow, type the word again and set it slightly above the shadow.  And that is it, you are done!

Here is the psd if you want it: http://gladmorin.xepher.net/akira.psd

That was my first Tutorial, how was it?  If people like it, I will make another one with more of a complex nature (not too hard though).

That "mmmyummy" reminded me of mummies.  They are undead.
