Greeting to all the friends. It’s new year! Guess is snowing heavily in Ohio but I am right now at Las Vegas watching all kinds of splendid shows and fancy hotels and casinos. Guess gambling is all about picking the right machine and clicking with your lucky finger. Did the gamble the first time and [...]

Still busy with the university stuffs and am packing up my clothes for the flight next month. Kind of being lazy these days and the site lacks updates for a while, in part of my preparing and reviewing of my college courses (I almost forget them all!), in part of the high usage of the [...]

Regular visitors may have noticed that the site updated not very often these days. The point is that I’ve been busy working on the application of my graduated study program in US and finally got the offers. Still working on the visa part but it seems that I finally got a chance to go to [...]

Some regular visitors may notice that the thumbnails of the site is much smaller than before. Just received an E-mail and a call from my hosting provider informing that the script used to generate thumbnails using up too much resources and the server suffers. Still fixing the problem and it appears to be some errors [...]

After a couple of weeks on the theme, the second version of TheAkiba is launched. The blog of TheAkiba was set up September 2008 and among these several months I have switched several different themes which now I consider as inadequate for the coming design work. Inspired by Dannychoo’s theme (old version, new layout), I [...]

Friends may notice that the site keeps on changing from time to time. This is because I’m doing some experiments.

I really want to announce the return of the Anime Gallery but I’d rather keep it stay low. The gallery has disappeared for a while due to the pressure from my previous hosting server. As you know I have transferred all the files to the new hosting server yesterday, and meanwhile I’m working on several [...]

Well, maybe you haven’t noticed about that but TheAkiba is now on Lunarpages! I bought the hosting last Saturday and the account was approved yesterday. Transfering files from my old Dreamhost server to the new Lunarpages server cost little time and I finished all the work in less than one day. And when I woke [...]

Happy Spring Festival! I guess few folks around may know what I’m talking about here so let’s have a brief introduction in the first place.
Chinese New Year or Spring Festival is one of the most important traditional Chinese holidays. It is sometimes called the Lunar New Year, especially by people outside China. The festival traditionally [...]

Oops, I guess some of you might have noticed the layout change of the category pages. The category page inherited the layout of the homepage and I think this is more user friendly, compared with the old one. While archive pages (archive index, search and tag pages) remain untouched, I’ve also modified some little parts [...]
