OR Gallery… a preview!

http://otakurevolution.com/gallery/

So, it’s under construction, but behold, the new gallery!

Lots of work to do, but I figure I’ll start by uploading pictures.

Eventually you’ll see some of my favorite galleries from imgDump preserved for viewing.

For starters, a meager start to Heroman!

The end of imgDump

Well, the time has finally come. imgDump will become a memory of internet past.

Why you ask? The cost. Since our big server jump a year ago it’s cost me around €25, ad revenue only brings in about €7, monthly. At the end of this month that price is slated to nearly double, something I can’t keep supporting from my pockets anymore.

Thus, it must come to an end, but we will have a swan song. There are two things I’m planing if I can sort the logistics.

Verizon Wireless has blocked 4chan

Has Verizon Wireless pulled an AT&T with their blocking of 4chan?

via status.4chan.org

Over the past 72 hours, we’ve been receiving reports from Verizon Wireless customers having difficulty accessing the image boards.

After investigating, we found that Verizon is dropping traffic to/from boards.4chan.org, only on port 80 (HTTP). No other subdomain/IP/port is affected, which leads us to believe this block is intentional.

A call was placed to their support staff last night, and we were told that the ticket would not be looked at until Monday at the earliest, and: “You’ll need the customer to call to request it be unblocked…”

If you’ve been affected by this block, please contact Verizon Wireless customer support. The numbers we were given are: “Verizon Wireless NRB: (866) 298-5373” and “Verizon Wireless DSO: (800) 770-1179”.

Note: Users with mobile browsers that proxy (BlackBerry, Opera) won’t necessarily have issues accessing the boards.

Update #1

After an hour and a half on the phone, we’ve received confirmation from Verizon’s Network Repair Bureau (NRB) that we are “explicitly blocked.”

If you’ve been affected by the block, please call Verizon NRB at (866) 298-5373 to file a complaint.

EDIT: If NRB can’t help you, try Verizon Wireless Support at (800) 922-0204.

Update #2

Verizon should be unblocking boards.4chan.org later tonight.

I’ll post a more detailed explanation tomorrow, but the issue is similar to the one we had with AT&T last year.

It sounds worse than the AT&T incident back in July. Why it’s blocked on Verizon Wireless, but not FiOS, is beyond me. Anyone out there using Verizon DSL?

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood – Ep 34 Preview

Since my “rundowns” have been more of a tease than anything, I figure I’d change the title…

Time for my preview of this past weekend’s FMA: Brotherhood release, episode 34. Of course, spoiler free.

Mike has described this episode as the best since Lust vs. Roy. Granted, he has a hard on for the General.

Simple episode this week (at least as far as I can tell from the raw, haven’t seen the subs yet). After encountering Olivier Armstrong and her cohorts Ed and Al get to know them, including one who happens to be Ishbalian. read more
