I know this isn't one of the standard posts here. (Not that there are many posts.) However, I wanted to share a small passion of mine, which is tea.

Although I had been drinking the usual tea stuff you'd expect for the average person in the US, I hadn't ever really thought about doing better. However, as time went on, I grew more open-minded to try new things, and a trip to The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf in December of 2006 started my love of quality tea.

However, I wanted to try more than the limited selection that store could offer. After following a recommendation, I discovered Adagio Teas. They are an online tea dealer and have a huge selection. In fact, being able to try different samples for a good price helped me find my love of green teas. I can honestly say that they have become my favorite general online tea shop.

So, if you are interested insomething better than that old Lipton or Tetley you've been drinking, give them a try. You'll probably be very happy.

In case you missed their link above, here it is again: Adagio Teas.

(Maybe I'll make this an occasional thing to get some new content up...)

New SMF modifications have been added to the SMF project page. This should now include all the mods we manage. Direct downloads have been disabled since it's easy enough to download from the official mod site and it's easier to manage one location of files instead of two.

Also, the Pidgin Nightly Builds page has been updated to include a new build for today. The build environment has finally been cleaned up to make builds easier. Hopefully a new build will be posted at least once a week, if not daily.

Despite the lack of posts, we're still working on things.

In good news, all the SMF mods have been updated to support SMF 2.0 Beta 3.1. The latest versions are at the SMF Mod Site and will be updated on this site soon. Now that this is done, work can resume on all the other projects that are way behind.

Since it has been a while without visible progress on things, I thought I would make a quick post on things. Following are status summaries of the major projects at this site.

Sorry for all the recent problems lately. The place the server is hosted at has had some power outages (thanks, Southern California Edison!) and because of the age of the server, it requires me to do some work at the console to get it to boot properly again.

Our new site design, dubbed "Neko Nuevo" has launched. Hopefully this will make the site nicer to navigate.

One of AnimeNeko's Projects has finally come to fruition. After being in a state of disrepair since early 2001, ProBIND has had a new release. While not containing many new features, it comes a long way in resolving some bugs and in getting the code to work properly on modern configurations.

Go take a look and let us know what you think!

The AnimeNeko Network website has finally re-launched. I'm not sure yet what I'll add to the site, but I'm content with just getting a main page up for now. Please check back in the coming weeks as I add features.
