Mine is late due to rl tragedies BUT I'll post it to show that I actually did work on it. ;

Ooo~ I'm definitely doing this one.
I missed a few themes. D:

Thanks :>

I wonder how many people are going to rush their's in today.

Ah and tickyhead, yours was cool. 8D I liked the way you interpreted the theme.

Ah. Well, here's mine:

Last week was pretty crazy for me and I had a picture already started. >:

So wait, there are two themes up in the air now. D8; Eh?

Sounds awesome~

I think a week is a pretty good amount of time for practice works but that could just be me.
Hmm, crazy topics and strange angles would be cool to get out of the monotony of everyone's comfort zone.

Hm, that's really interesting. I really think they should have an on/off feature to it though(if they haven't included it already) but this makes it a lot less craptastic. I give you mad props for working with it.

Awesome shots there.
The pink bird(flamingo in a tree?) is my all-time fave but that last "Whatchu lookin' at?" bear photo had me laughing so hard.

Congrats on the crazy amounts of traffic! A new server sounds exciting. 8D

Alright, I'll give it a try then. I'll pull the plug on it if anything fishy goes down.
I have another concern about it though; if it's running all the time, would that drain the server?

Ah, never mind then. That doesn't sound very safe or practical. It could be run from my computer instead of from a server if I really want it up. I just figured it'd be different from a server, ie. not running full time, stable, more secure, and less complicated for users to connect to.

A lot of art sites use it but the software's creator doesn't speak English so the original site and instructions are in Japanese(or is it Chinese?), only some pages can be converted to English. It's hard to find information on it, that's for sure. I guess you can translate it with babel fish, here you go: http://shichan.jp/

I thought since WinSCP had command lines, I'd just be able to do it from there, or Putty.

So are you trying to run a java program server-side? (Like an installer written in java or something.)  Most "java" is applets that are just .jar files to the server, but get embedded in pages and run by the user's browser. Nothing has to be "enabled" on the server for this sort of thing. Does the program you're trying to install list what specific software is required for the server? And when you say "it fails every time"... fails how? Is there an error message?

Well, I'm using a guide that says I need to get a basic command to run it "java -cp ./PaintChat.jar paintchat_server.Server cnf/paintchat.cf". Yeah, I get an error on WinSCP when I try to. First you need to get a symlink to work and that worked, the next step is that command.

I have no experience in this so I'm kind of just guessing my way through.

I'm trying to install paintchat to broaden my art community as my groupboard is way too small right now. Thing is, it seems I have to use a java command and it fails every time. D: Is java not enabled or am I just a n00b? I don't remember seeing it anywhere that we're not allowed to use it or anything...

Cute art and site designs. :3
The speech bubble on the web page definitely struck me as creative~

I love it. :3 The blue shades are great and not too attention-grabbing so you can focus on the art. The layout is very boxy and simplistic; great for showcasing works. Featured and recent works thumbnails are a good touch too, it definitely got my attention.

Only problem are the links, they're kind of squished into there. You should probably go with a simple css menu to give it its proper space.
If not, I think the hover is too dark, maybe a dark blue would fit better.

Just my two cents~
