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!

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).

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.

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.
