Changed by homepage again, trying to find a layout that looks cool. Added "Random pic of the week."

Hawanja:

Your site says the AmigaCD 32 was the first 32-bit home console. Assembler says it's the FM Towns Marty

Anyone care to explain?

 

I'm pretty sure the Amiga CD 32 predates the Marty by about a year.

 

In the spirit of the upcoming Phantasy Star Universe, I added a couple of scans from the Phantasy Star Memorial CD & Fanbook, which I believe is the single hardest official Phantasy Star item to find. I finally gave this book some time. There's some info in there that I don't believe is out on the net. I might add some more (a translation of the interviews, perhaps) at a later date, if there's interest.

Also added the Keio Yuugekitai Settei Shiryoushuu which contains a hidden stage that did not appear in the original release.

All worth checking out if you're fans of those games.

EDIT:
Forgot these:
Dorimaga 1 of a kind DC's and the mysterious price drop of the LE Mazora DC

 

Cool, I'm downloading that video now :smt023

Looks better navigateable now,the only problem is that most people (me included) use 1024x768 ;-)

 

I can see Hawanja's site! im soo happy! :smt022

 

Yeah, I think my site is slowly improving, bit by bit. As I myself use 1280 X 1024 resolution, that is the best way to view my site. I suppose I should say that on the homepage.

New additions will be now listed on the homepage.

hawanja, your site is getting better each week. keep it up :smt023

I've had a major update this week with the entire saturn section re-designed to look like the new Mega CD section. I've also added two new Saturn games, the Dreamcast Arcade Stick and the Shikigami No Shiro II lottery items. In total about 6 or so hours work. Phew :smt015

Nice work, Yakumo.
I need to introduce you to my good friend Perl -- makes updates like that a snap. You edit one file, and BAM -- done.

Anyways -- cheers. I take it the DC section will follow?

 

>>I need to introduce you to my good friend Perl
:Hangman: Perl :Hangman: is the the devil's work Yakumo....don't go to the dark side......

 

Yep, I'm doing the DC section now. Been doing it over the last few night. Man, it's soooo big !!.

Speaking of web programming, what do you guys use to make your pages? I've been messing around with Dreamweaver and Fireworks, but I'd like to learn more about web programming in general.

I think there's two questions in your query:

1. What backend technology do people use to generate pages.
2. What tools do people use to design their pages.

To answer no. 1: people will either have static pages or have dynamically generated pages(dynamic implies the web/application server is generating the HTML for the page at the moment someone requests it). Dynamic is the best as you can change the way your website looks without changing any of the content (words, graphics etc).

Backend technology wise you can guess what people use alot of the time...

If their pages end with .htm, .html they are probably (not necessarily tho) static HTML pages - so they're not dynamic. Your pages look to fall into this camp.

If they end in cgi (Common Gateway Interface) then they will be using some kind of dynamic functionality at the back end but you can't tell for sure which - could be perl in GaijinPunch's case, or C etc......Gaijinpunch uses CGI and perl (yuuuukkkk!...........only joking....)

If the pages end in .jsp then they're using Javaserver pages (Java is the language at the backend essentially).

If the pages end in .asp then they're using Microsoft IIS with ASP (Active Server Pages). The back end language is either vbscript or javascript (possibly with VB/C++ as well). I use ASP because my host only offers Microsoft technology.

If the pages end in .aspx then they're using Microsoft .NET technology. The back end language is either vbscript, javascript/jscript, VB.Net, C#, C++.NET.

If the pages end in cfm then they're using Cold Fusion - which is Altaire's product for dynamic page generation.


2. As for design tools - I use notepad for Dreamcastgallery.com.....not the best way to design pages - probably the worst!. At work I have used Photoshop, ImageReady and Dreamweaver. You can sometimes tell what people use by looking at the HTML source -the header meta tags sometimes gives it away.

Looking at Yakumo's site he has used Frontpage at sometime (or still continues to do so).

Gaijinpunch uses some kind of tool as his HTML is far too neat for hand written stuff!

Dreamcastgallery.com's HTML is written by hand as it's pretty messy...

 

Perl gets the job done. The best part about it -- it's the same language that I use to make my life easier at work. You don't have to learn a web-only language to make great web pages. Yeah, it's old and ugly, but it does some things better than PHP. I do wish I knew PHP, as it does a lot of things better than perl, just no time.

3 tools. CSS, VI, and my hands. :smt040 For people that have no clue what that means, it means it's all done by hand. VI is the unix (superior) version of notepad, written on UNIX some 30 years ago. Don't get me wrong - there was hours and hours of trial and error to get it to look right, but as I was saying to Yakumo - once you get it coded right, that's it.

Oh, yeah -- made a small update. Added Fushigi no Dungeon to the DC section, and added two DC Magazines (the ones w/ all the VM Data on the accompanying GD-ROM) to the books section. Not a big update, as I'm guiding a mate around Tokyo at the moment.

 

The update from hell is done :smt119 Finally updated the Dreamcast section to look like the Saturn and Mega CD sections. Took all bloody week to do. I'm sure that all links and pictures are working but if you notice any then please let me know. I've also added F1 Grand Prix II and Rainbow Cotton to the DC section and Alone in the Dark 2 and Necornomicon to the Saturn section.

I use VI every now and then but I shiver at the thought of writing a website the size of yours solely with VI...
