(Nicovideo link)
Here’s the 10-minute nicovideo song, accompanied with sounds from a few automatic Mario levels! No daily flash today, sorry.
In other news, as you may have noticed, the site goes down randomly sometimes, and I’m pretty sure I know why. A few months ago, the site’s host (ipowerweb) created some sort of new hosting platform with a bunch of new features and an updated admin panel or something, and requested for everyone to transfer all their stuff over to the new platform. This has happened before with another host (although it was one of those lame free hosts), and it definitely didn’t turn out well, so I didn’t really want to deal with transferring things until I absolutely knew I had to.
This site’s still on the old platform, and I’ve never gotten around to moving the stuff over; mostly because I like preserving the “date modified” things on uploaded files and whatever. Well luckily, the host has an automatic “account migration tool” that I can use to do it automatically, but doing so would take ~36 hours, which is a bit long considering that I update the site daily and this would mean I’d miss a day of updates.
I got an email on Monday (and I didn’t check that email account until earlier today) saying that I’d need to have the site on the new platform by May 19th, leaving me with about 11 days left. I figured I might as well start it soon and get it over with, rather than doing it on May 19th and encounter a bunch of problems that I can’t fix. So with that in mind, after I update create.swf tomorrow, I’m gonna shut down the site temporarily for about 36 hours (although I think I’ll just disable commenting and keep everything else up, if that’s possible). I probably won’t be updating the day after that (or if I do, you just won’t be able to comment until the next day), but it’ll probably just be a YouTube video anyhow, so you won’t be missing out on much. Hopefully, nothing goes wrong! I’ll go back up the SQL database now just in case.
Because it for some reason matters, first.
This has got to be the best Mario vid yet.
And here’s hoping nothing goes wrong with the site during transfer
I say go for it and bring it down asap xD
These random site maint. crap reminds me alot of private servers…
Either way though, I’ve always been wondering why there is an advertisement for warrior boots…
They look kinda cool… and they probably have a special offer if I order it in 20 minutes.
Wow! This must be one of the best automatic mario video I’ve seen! O.o
I hope the site transfer goes off without a hitch.
@ukki: “reminds me alot of private servers…” What are you implying?
My server’s been up for 15 days 9.5 hours now. ;P
@KirbyM: While your site is ‘down’, you could always upload a VIDEO to your YouTube channel instead. It could be a screencaptured view of a post which you would’ve otherwise posted here, to your site, you know? If you update create.swf, you could screencap the new features on that, too.
Then everyone can just comment on the YouTube video as they would here at Walfas.
Just a thought. ;)
You could always post http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfGmL4cir-w tomarrow before the 36 hour shut down. GONG will keep people busy for a day at least. Everything needs GONG. Waiting for a flower picking video with GONG to it
HOPEFULLY THING WON’T END UP LIKE ___________.net
I miss _________.net ;__;
Automario levels rock!
The chest-pounding motion during Help Me Eirin was pure genius.
Also, if you want to keep your “update every day” thing going, you can always update just after midnight (or, really, any time before noon) on one day and then again in the afternoon the next day, in order to give the 36 hours a chance to pass.
@kilgamayan
erm, even if KirbyM posts at 00:00:01 am, 36 hours are 1 and 1/2 days so the ending of the transfer would bet at 12:00:01 pm of the 2nd day, the only posibility is if there is the ability to post when that is going on but as KribyM said only KirbyM could be able to post which is what is needed but it is uncertain if it can be done.
Hope it doesn’t end up like the previous one :)
There was a previous ‘Walfas’? o_o
@Something Unreal
I think Cardboeardsnail refers to kirbymario.net or maybe another website that had been made by KirbyM (KirbyMario xD) in the past.
Nope, it was keepyalivey.net, which was a forum-type site that died due to host issues.
That was most likely one of the best Mario vids ever.
It’s going to be odd not being able to come here while it’s down, I hope everything goes well.
Immac: Whether people can make comments or not is irrelevant to the goal of having a post every single day.
If Kirby can get one at 12:00:01 AM Day 1, then 36 hours would be 12:00:01 PM Day 2, leaving plenty of time throughout the rest of the day to post again.
Here’s an MP3 of the song! http://www.mediafire.com/?52fxd3naxxx
And here’s a version of the vid with stuff in context! :3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wcm9gbsgmXo
@Kilgamayan
Lol true, I don’t know what was I thinking, maybe i was too sleepy at that time xD
Greatest Automatic Mario video ever.
I don’t know which of the two NicoNico Melodies I like better…this one has Makka Na Chikai and Motteke! Sailor Fuku, but the 14-minute one has 1000% Sparking and the Gourmet Race theme…and a Futari no Kiwami sequence as well.
