Updates

1/25/2013 I am here to let you know that my Portfolio has officially been moved to its own domain, at Ramosa.Org! Please give it a visit, and if you have your own portfolio, and would like to link exchange, please send me a message there! :)

1/17/2013 Happy New Year, everyone. I have been working quite a few online project over winter break, and have a few more lined up that I need to do (mostly for other people).

12/25/2012 Merry Christmas!! I am here to let you know that my blog (AisuCafe.Org) is holding its first contest, and I will be giving out 3 .us domains & 2 free advertisement spots to the winners! Please check it out and spread the word! :) Along with that, request a holiday e-card! I will be sending them out on January 1st!
Also, my Portfolio has been moved to one of my other domains, so please check it out if you are interested in what I have been up to!

9/13/2012 Hirokache.com is on a kind of a maintenance mode. I'll hopefully be back with a new design when school starts settling down (as well as my health), and I can get something out (the last one got scrapped...). Meanwhile, come visit a new blog I opened a little while ago: AisuCafe.Org!

8/27/2012 Hi, guys. I'm not dead. I have been trying to work on a completely new layout & design for this site for the past month, but miserably failing! School is starting up again this week, so I don't know what's going to happen, but I hope it'll get done soon so I can put it up and be at peace with myself!

7/15/2012 "Personal Domain" finally opened. I'm really happy I got to actually make a site look the way I wanted to, though the coding aspect was extremely difficult for me. The simpler the layout looks, the harder it is to code... orz
HirokoNishimura.Com - Looking for link exchanges!

6/27/2012 Registered a domain: OneMoreTi.me- It redirects for now to my Tumblr blog that I kept my Neurosurgery/AVM recovery log on. I might move it later if I find a better use for it. But it's kind of symbolic for "starting over" that I'm doing right now with my life, trying to find myself out again.

6/25/2012 First day of work today. Exhausted. So I played around with a scan of The Avengers Artbook, and updated the portfolio with it. As always with these images, I do not own the art or photo that I manipulate from movies.

Also, if anyone is interested, Link Exchange is open! Just shoot me an e-mail (to blankynoir@yahoo.co.jp with your name, your site's name, your site's URL, and a little bit about your site/why you'd like to L/E) if you are interested!
I've also updated my profile with something resembling an actual profile of myself. Probably completely TMI. Might cut out a lot of it after I come to my senses in a few days.

6/24/2012 Made the Photography page into a gallery, scrapping a few old photos, and adding in 7 new ones, including photos from Switzerland I took this spring.

(More in the photo gallery.)

Re-added the Arts & Crafts page with a few construction paper art I made last year. I don't think I scanned in any of the other ones I made before my mother shipped them off to my boyfriend without telling me first...

Updated pages will be in Bold on the navigation bar until I find myself some "NEW!" Gif or something.

6/19/2012 Added the Writing Archive to the navigation as part of my portfolio, edited my profile, cleaned up the links page and credits page. Also tweaked the about the site.
Also cleaned up the avatars, templates, textures, and backgrounds to unify the whole site a little better in terms of layout.

6/17/2012 Scrapped and completely renovated the Graphics Portfolio, adding in what I could find of photo manipulations, typography images, and abstract renders I've made since 2007 from around the internet and my current laptop (my laptops have the tendency to break or melt (literally) every year or 2... this is my third since I started university 4 years ago).
It's also running on a script (fancyBox from jQuery), so you can scroll through it like a gallery.

Next will be the photographs... I need to get rid of the older ones and put in the new ones I've been uploading to Tumblr, but have not been on here.

6/15/2012 A writing archive has been added to the site. It doesn't have much of anything yet, but I am hoping to find more things to put in there as I begin to fish them out of my external harddrive. (My laptops break every year or so, so I only have half a year's worth of things on my laptop right now, because the last one broke last November.)
Remember to leave a comment in the chatbox, or to link your site on the plugboard!

6/1/2012 Added a link to Ben's Friends, a portal that hosts patient support communities for rare diseases (like for the one I had- Arteriovenous Malformation Survivors Network).
