Nothing really out of the ordinary to mention. In terms of my general work on episode articles, I've just finished improving ep. 24 of DA02. In fact, I've already collected screenshots, etc., for episodes as far as ep. 30, so I just need to edit the actual pages and upload the images. Shouldn't take too long...

April 6th 2010
Since it's the Easter holiday, I haven't been able to spare much time for this wiki. I also have to admit that I've started working on other wiki projects (new ones that haven't been started by anyone else). Right now, since the new wikis are video game wikis, I've begun playing through the games for the sole purpose of collecting sprites. It'll be worth it in the end... hopefully. Anyway, back to this wiki. I've been focusing a bit more on movie articles lately, mainly because of the announcement of two new Digimon movies. They now have their own articles, and I'm wondering just how long it'll be before they can be filled in. Concerning episode articles, I've made improvements to six more since my last update. I'm now moving onto ep. 17 of DA02.

I've sort of been all over the place in the last few days, going between small projects and constantly stopping to try and help in places I can. Actually, a lot of the time I would normally spend on the wiki has instead been spent playing Digimon Battle. Though, I have still had a chance to make some progress on the episode articles (DA02 ep.11 now). I'm also experimenting with the idea of adding colour themes to episode infoboxes, and I've even designed a few which came out quite well. Lastly, I've been designing a template for episode articles, though I've still got a lot to do before it's good enough to be used.

I'm now well into Digimon Adventure 02 concerning major improvements to episode articles - I'm up to the 7th episode. I've also been taking care of the featured article for the past few weeks now, which has been pretty depressing with so few people voting. It's not really that big a deal, but if it carries on the way it has, I'll feel compelled to do something about it. Hmm... I think I need a to-do list.

February 26th 2010
Sorry about the long gap between updates. Lots to talk about. First of all, I can officially say that I'm done with Digimon Adventure, by which I mean, I think the episode articles are up to a high enough standard that I can now fully focus on Digimon Adventure 02. Though, this doesn't mean I'll abandoning the first series. I'll still be keeping an eye on the articles via the watchlist, checking any further edits and making any appropriate changes. It's my main aim at this wiki to get every single episode article up to a high standard (though it's going to take a whole lot of time and determination).

I've also been continuing work outside the episode articles. I'm still working on events for the "On this day" box for the main page, and I'm on October, so the end is in sight. Also, I finalised some of my Digimon Analyser templates in the sandbox, and am happy to say that they're now in use. Though, I'm still struggling to decide what to do for the Tamers Analyser (*sigh* Why does Internet Explorer have to be so limited?). Any suggestions?

Let's see, where should I start? Well, I've been working pretty hard on episode articles in the past two weeks. I've managed to update 11 episode articles, adding information to the infoboxes, placing animations in the analysers, and replacing my own poor quality screenshots with better ones. It's a real achievement, considering this amount of work previously took me about a month. Anyway, I've also been making progress on the new main page format. I reluctantly added the news box, wondering how often there would actually be something to report. But Rad140 is more confident, so he'll be taking care of that. Meanwhile, I'm continuing to fill in events of each day of the year for the "On this day" box. I'm up to July now - making good progess.

January 16th 2010 (!!!)
Happy new year! I'm hoping to contribute to the wiki a whole lot this year. Meanwhile, I've got lots to talk about. First of all, I finally finished watching Digimon Frontier. Looking back, I have to say, it was a bit dragged out in parts (especally during the final battle with Cherubimon), though otherwise, it was pretty good. I'm tempted to rate it above Digimon Tamers, though I know a lot of you here wouldn't like that. Anyway, I'll probably be moving onto Data Squad next, so here's hoping it's as good as all the other seasons.

In other news, I've been spending a lot of time designing a new main page format, which I'm honestly quite proud of. New features include a random quote, interesting "Did you know" facts, a featured image, and a cleanup box with a sort of Crest of Love theme entitled "This article needs your love!", per the request of Rad140, and a more compact layout for anime series selection. I'm currently working on another feature about things that happened on the current day. I've already finished the actual template, but the hard part is actually creating a template to be displayed on each and every day of the year (yes, that's 366, counting February 29th). I've created a template for every day up to (and including) March, inserting episode air dates and game release dates - the only dates I could find easily without leaving this wiki - along the way. So, I'm making steady progress. My only concern is that maybe I should be getting back to the episode articles (I'm easily distracted on this wiki - so many things to do, so little time...).

As implied by my last update, I haven't been doing much on the Wiki recently. It's been about a week since I last paid a visit, due mainly to Christmas-related stuff. Fortunately, the list of edits on my watchlist were small (not that I expected much), and half of them were already sorted out. One thing I've been doing in the past week is catching up on a load of Digimon Frontier episodes. Downloading it all to my MP4 player makes it a whole lot easier, so I don't have to start up my computer every time I want to watch it. Anyway, I plan to continue with some proper Wiki editing in the new year, though don't be surprised if I'm back before then - I really enjoy working here. I know it's a bit late, but MERRY CHRISTMAS!

December 12th 2009
I just finished updating episode 20 (of series 1), and I've decided it's time I got my life back on track. Seriously, I've been spending countless hours working on this Wiki, and it's stopping me from doing anything. So I'll be taking a bit of a break until I get some overdue tasks out of the way (plus there's Christmas - very busy). I hope to be back soon after the new year.

I'll check back every so often to look at my watchlist, my talk page, and anything else that might need my attention.

Well, bye for now!

December 8th 2009
I'm starting to make real progress with the animations in the analysers. I've just finished with The Arrival of SkullGreymon, the 16th episode on season one. My main concern was how I would store all the RAW Digimon episodes (each of which take up about 223MB) on my computer, though getting an external hard drive has resolved this problem. Hopefully, it won't be long before I'm working on season two.

I haven't had the chance to watch much of Digimon Frontier recently, though I do plan to, hopefully before I forget what's happened in the previous episode (Ep. 13 - pretty climatic).

November 26th 2009
I decided I'd try watching Digimon Frontier again, and I have to say - I'm starting to get into it. I guess I was initially put off by all the new characters and concepts. The way I see it now, the first few episodes of any Digimon series are a bit dodgy, but it becomes more enjoyable as the plot develops, and as you get to know the characters.

On a separate note, I'm making steady progress with the whole animations thing, and I'm now up to episode seven of series one. Still a long way to go.

November 17th 2009
Haven't been able to make much more progress with DA02, due to lots of things which I'm sorting out with the first series, such as screenshot quality (trying to download RAW episodes - really good quality, though download takes ages), and the possibility of animated screenshots in Digimon Analysers (takes ages just to make one; see sandbox). To make matters worse, my Internet keeps disconnecting at odd moments. *sigh* I wonder if I'll ever get round to season two.
