Happy New Year!

Happy 2014 folks. One of my resolutions is to do more translating.

Annoying

Had a small computer issue that caused me to loose some data. Included in that data was Shippo's translations she uploaded to that file sharing site.

Typically this wouldn't be a problem, Id just go and redownload them. But for some reason the site won't load at all on any of my computers...

I've ideas on work arounds but this is just vexing.

DVDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fuck Yeah!

Discotek has licensed Cybersix for DVD release!

LINK TO ARTICLE!!!

Hot fucking Damn!

My only complaint is that we have to wait until next year... :(

Calling Any Willing Artists

So yeah this is a little off the regular topic but remember a while back those sketches I shared that I made for the O.M.F.G. sereies 3 toyline submissions on Octobertoys.com? Well I have an idea for a new submission but my skills are not able to convey what I want, and I was wondering if anyone who reads my stuff could help?

If anyone is willing to take a whack at it here is the description for the fig.

• It's a 3ball snowman, who for his head has a mushy jack-o-lantern for a head. He is slightly hunched over and the jack-o-lantern is sitting tilted instead of flat.
• His arms are made of sticks, one is a single stick that starts rather thick with snow wrapped around it at the base and ends with some twig-fingers. The other is a pair of sticks wrapping around each other, with plenty of open gaps in places, one of them ends with a split into two branches while the other is just a single stick.
• On top of his head he's wearing a tophat.
• Instead of scarf he has a noose hangin down and to the side.
• Instead of rock/coal buttons there are little stylized skulls.
• Sticking out of the bottom snowball in the front there is an empty boot, slightly tilted. Looking like it was put there while it was an ordinary snowman.
• On the bakcside of the bottom ball (higher up than the boot) there is an arm reaching out wearing a mitten. I don't know if the snow around the arm should be pushing out making it look like the arm is struggling to reach out of the ball, or the snow should be concave giving the impression that it's sucking the arm inside.
• On the backside of the middle ball there is an empty stocking cap stuck to the ball, partially "submerged" in places (there is no head at all in the cap, it's just a flat empty cap), and a second mitten, maybe with a string connecting it to the one on the arm.

I have yet to think of name for this guy, so any help with that would also be appreciated.

Birthday

It's my birthday. Yay.

Delays

Delays have occured including a tweeked back. Apologies are offered and when I i can upload there will be two pages instead of one.

The Status Of PharmaDan

So hey I got a new job YAY! But it's slwoing down my work on Cybersix BOO! (Even more so than normal)
I have to wake up at 5:30 in morning to get there on time and don't get home until close to 12 hours later, and its a fulltime job too. Adding in selling my bodily fluids for fun and profit at Biolife Plasma Services twice a week, it all results in greatly reduced free time.
At least I'm not as bad as updating as VGCats though :D

Anyway here is some Cyberstuff for you all.

Cybersix Fanart

For those who are interested there is a pretty decent piece of Cyber fanart on one of the blogs I follow.

My new job is currently slowing down my efforts with Cybersix, but don't worry I'm still moving along with it.
 

Status-Problem_Loading_Task

Having a touch of computer issues at the moment.

The next Cyber release is ready and its a funny one too, but I can't upload at the moment. As soon a it is feasible for me to do so I'll post it for you all to enjoy.

Until then, continue to be patient (thanks for that by the way), and continue to browse through my previous releases (particulary Volume 1) for any errors or problems.

On a side note how do you guys feels about the size of the images? Are they too big (dimension and/or megabyte wise) or anything like that?

Curiosity

I'm kinda curious at the moment, the vast majority of us here on my blog are fans of Cybersix, and I was wondering a few things;

1. How did you first learn about Cybersix?
2. How did you find my blog?
3. Do you have any inteterest in my translations of Meteorix?

Myself I first found Cyber through the shortlived FoxKids run. I particulary remember the last bit of Lori is missing when Cyber is imploring Lucas to forgive her, and the Eye of the Beholder episode, in fact I think that was the last one I saw until I "found" the series again online.

Obviously I started the Blog.

Also obviously I am interested in Meteorix or I wouldn't be doing my slow-ass translations of it.

OKey Dokey Floks its your turn now. Also the more responses I get the faster the next few batches of Cyber may come out.

Doodles Coming To Life

One of the more recent interests of mine has been the O.M.F.G. toys made by Octobertoys.com. You submit your designs and if they're liked enough by everyone they can be made into a 2inch rubber toy.

Currently the voting for Series 3 is in progress and I have several submissions. With a little luck 1 of them may make it inot the top 5 and be made for the series. If anyone is interested in this sort of thing the voting is currently going on on the forums of the site.

And because I can here are some of my designs.

 

Ebook Part 2

Hello folks. This week I took a bit of a break from new pages as I've started selling plasma, but I didn't stop working on this completely. I've complied all of volume 1 (minus the bonus stuff) into a MOBI file using Calibre. I also did the same for the 3 Meteorix issues I've released. I don't know how many of you will be interested in this but here are the download links.

Cybersix Volume 1 Ebook

Meteorix 1
Meteorix 2
Meteorix3

Is this something you all think I should continue?

Updates

So got some news for for you all.

I've updated the Intro page for Cybersix volume two. Thanks to both of you who commented with suggestions and corrections. I didn't use every correction though, due to wanting to keep to the page's narratory tone (if that even makes sense to anyone but me...). Though most suggestions did lead to revisions of the affected parts.



I've got another page of Cyber for you all to preview. I hope you enjoy it. Pic after the jump.

Feeling Better

Felling better now, translation work shall resume in earnest, that wordy page was a bad thing to do when ill.

Progress and Problems and a Request for Aid

Heya Folks! It's your slow-ass translator here.

+Good News- I'm making majorly magnificent progress with all of my translation projects!

+Bad News- I'm only really able to work on it out where I don't have reasonable accsess to the Internet...

+Bad News Elaboration- That means I can only do the background/prep work since I rely on the Internet to do the actual translating. It's stuff that needs doing but not the stuff your interested in.

+How You Can Help- If anyone can help me find a FREE TRANSLATOR PROGRAM that I can DOWNLOAD and use OFFLINE that could help increase the releasing of translated pages.

Thanks for reading and sticking with me.

A Reminder

Just a reminder for everyone; After MEgaupload went kerflooey I reuploaded everything to another site. All the new download links are on the Cybersix page, use those instead of the old ones in the posts. Someday if I'm not feeling lazy I'll go and udate every old post...

In short working download links are the Cybersix page. If they stop let me know. Don't use the links in the old posts. :P

In The Oven

Its starting to heat up here at home. Bleh.

Been making some progress with Cybersix today. Mostly transcibing as of this post but maybe some page work later.

Ebook conversion

So hey it's looking like the test conversions have finally worked allright. I still need to stick them on the Kindle to test them out but I'm feeling confident about it.

Currently I got the stuff in Zip, cbz, and Mobi files, does that work for everyone?

The files are a fair bit larger than the standard ebook but I suspect thats due to the fact that these are all images. If anyone has any suggestions on how to reduce the file size that would be awesome.

Once I confirm that the test files are good I'll post them here so you all can take a look and tell me where I screwed up with them.

Progress YAY

I'm making progress so you all get a treat.

Also I'm making progress on the custom ebooks bit. Currently the only problem is that the ordering thingy is screwy going 1, 10, 11, 12,....19, 2, 20, 21,....., 49, 5, 6, 7, ... etc etc

Epub conversion?

Does anyone know of a reliable program that could be used to convert images to an epub file for reading on ebooks? I've done a little browsing via google but don't want to download stuff willy nilly and get something nasty... again...

Also stuff is going slow, but it is still going. I'll let you know when something of note happens or if I ever decide to stop.
