...they do straddle the line between insane and awesome much more easily than any other nation on earth.  It's one reason I love a good Japanese movie, you just never know what you're going to get - except that it's unlikely to be like anything you've seen before.  Even when they do take other ideas, they always go to the Nth degree.  

So without further ado, I give you ROBOGEISHA!!!  (trailer is just a little NSFW)

Well, I finally got round to setting things up - I said it would be a major change and I wasn't joking.

Hello to anyone who hasn't been to my site before in its various incarnations - I think this is the third or maybe fourth version of the site, in all the excitement I seem to have lost count myself...  Welcome back to my small band of forum posters too, presuming they will bother to sign up again (please, PLEASE sign up!)  

Its a bit of a change in that its the first time I've not built everything myself from scratch - I'm using a bit of software called BlogEngine.Net, which is free and also a set of forums from JitBit Software.  I just got fed up of trying to do the whole design bit, I'm most certainly not a UI designer, and that is what has always caused problems for my own site in the past.  I've worked with some superb designers over the past 15 years and I just can't cut it when I try to do anything remotely stylish.  So, I gave in and went with a blogging engine... but I have gone with a fully .Net solution so I can keep my hand in a write some extensions for it.

So anyway, it will give me the chance to add a lot more content to the site than there has been before.  The Galleries will return hopefully this weekend, just have to put something appropriate together.

Any questions either leave a comment or (preferably) post in the forums...

Thanks and see you soon

Dave
