It's been a while, and things haven't been working around the site, but it's too disappointing when things aren't working and you can't figure out the reason...

Finally decided that if cron isn't working, then I'm adding things manually.

Submissions are open again, but you may spot errors while submitting. If that happens please let me know so that I can fix it ASAP.
There's a new feature: now you can submit more than 1 avatar per form if they're from the same series. You can also add a series if it doesn't exist already.

The Aardvark skins and Wordpress themes pages are working now. Our news feed is fixed now too, so if you haven't subscribed to our updates yet, you may do so at our subscribe page.

I've also added a new texture: there are both the big and the icon version of this texture, hope you like it.

Please excuse the errors, as I'm pretty sure there are many right now, but the previous server wasn't working anyways, and some things need to be changed live. The submissions form are disabled for the moment, until I fix and change everything, which should be done by monday.

Anyways, hope you like the new layout!
]]> http://celestial-star.net/132-server-change/ Still here and updating! http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/CelestialStar/~3/r-Cq0K68hNM/ http://celestial-star.net/131-still-here-and-updating/ Sat, 14 Mar 2009 00:00:00 PST layouts quite some days ago, though there are a few pending layouts now. Image previews for the last layouts weren't working, but I fixed that now.

If you're wondering what I've been up to lately, well, I've been watching lots of series (anime and non-anime) among other things. Finally watched Vampire Knight and Lovely Complex, though I'm still watching Saiunkoku Monogatari, Skip beat, Fringe, Gossip Girl and some more.

Edit: Ah yes... forgot to mention the downtimes... the server has been up and down a LOT... I'm not happy with that. I was planning on moving the site before june, but if this goes on I'll move it before that. I've got my own VPS anyways, and it works so much better.

I fixed ]]>
I fixed the 4 pages of broken avatars that were appearing lately <_< sorry about that. Those avatars will be added again, so avatars will be added every 8 hours now, since there's a large queue of them.

Sorry to say, but I believe there are plenty in english already xD

So, hope to see some of my spanish visitors there and build a nice community. Any registered member can upload manga. Since it's brand new, there aren't that many series yet, but I keep uploading!



Haven't seen the Twilight movie yet, but I think it hasn't even been released here, so... o_O Anyone has seen it? how is it?

First my classes, of course. Learning lots of programming stuff under Mono and debian/linux OS which includes C#, GTK and ADO.NET. I won't say MySQL because I already knew what we've done so far, but hope to learn more. For a different subject that covers web design, since I already know HTML & CSS, I've got to design and develop two different sites, one each semester, which will be uploaded later, but I must say both will be in spanish!.

And as you may have guessed by the title, I've also read Breaking Dawn. It's been out for a while, but not that much here in spain since it wasn't translated yet. I would have bought the english version but my Twilight / New Moon / Eclipse books are all in spanish <_< (If you're curious names are Crepusculo, Luna Nueva, Eclipse and Amanecer in spanish).
I can't really say I liked all the book... some parts just didn't fit in my opinion, but it still awesome, because the story and characters are awesome. The movie will be in theaters soon (in 22 days now), and I'll watch it for sure, just hope I won't be disappointed, as happens with most film adaptations. First time I saw the actor for Edward Cullen I was highly disappointed... I just quite like it now o_O for example in this movie caption and this movie poster, though there's Photoshop involved in this last one... hmmm...
I'm quite embarrased saying I like this kind of stuff, specially since my favourite are horror movies and all kind of movies involving blood and violence, but I just can't hide it <_<;

Anyways... I've also been in Barcelona, and I was in an In Flames concert which was just AWESOME. Sonic Syndicate was there too, which made it even better.
They also stole my handbag there in Barcelona =_=; it had my mobile phone, digital camera, mp3, around 100 euros and documents... the city center is crammed with people and there are lots of pickpocketers... the police didn't find anything yet, and I'm pretty sure they won't by this time.

Whoah, my longest entry ever? probably! do check out the AnimeArtbooks gallery by the way, I've been updating it lately! I would also be grateful if people could tag some images, specially seasonal ones such as halloween, christmas, winter... that way I'll be able to put up pages for images by tags, which will be quite useful.

Sadly, my classes will start in a week <_< but I'll be able to update Celestial Star anyways as usual!

I still need to find out why approved layouts are not added to the site with the cron and re-upload that PSP brush set that's wrong. I'll do it as soon as possible.

Avatars will be processed, no worries, it's just that I'll be much slower with e-mail replies, forum replies, submissions and such, specially since my internet connection is VERY slow here...

Thanks for visiting and have a nice stay!

I'll try and add some PSP and Image Pack versions for the next update.

Trying to fix the double series, I messed the series for avatars, layouts and renders. I've fixed it now, but some of the latest submitted avatars lost their series, so I had to add them myself, and I wasn't sure about some of them... so if there are any avatars or such with a wrong series, or a generic series such "Anime" or "Others" when there's a specific one, please let me know along with the avatar filename.

I've also fixed the tutorial submission page that wasn't working before. As I mentioned there, you may PM me tutorials you've posted at the forum and I'll move it to the site. Original posts' comments will be kept.

Let me know if you have any question, I think I didn't explain it very well!

Edit: Forgot to add 2 big textures, I added them now. Thanks for submitting!
