Red Encabo

MILESTONE: 50TH BLOG ENTRY

The last thing I would like to talk about is the brand new idea of an all-new segment called the Red Awards, which will happen every single summer. I will be bringing awareness about this to many social sites, and of course you can join to!

A couple of requirements are made. First, you must have a website that is, at least, 6 months old. In order to join the awards, you must be reviewed by me, which really means if you fail, well, you are ineligible. The Red Awards is for those who would like their websites noticed.

I will make a new page of the Red Awards, but for now it will not happen until June. Nonetheless, we will allow recruits to join and yes I will tweet this, post this on Facebook, and etc. See you there! Oh, and yes, some sites will be automatically joined due to sponsorship.

Well, more sadness for Webs this year, because this is what we announced:

Shadow Infinite
March 6, 2010 - May 4, 2012

Yeah, that's big news. It really closed at around 1-2 PM. Today Aceofshadows and I discusses the life of Shadow Infinite and if we had to end Shadow Infinite now. This is what the conversation similarly sounds like:

Red: Hey dude Ace.
Ace: Hey.
Red: Hey, umm, you do you want to do about Shadow Infinite?
Ace: I don't know...
Red: Okay well, then do you want to try the new site builder?
Ace: I guess so.
Red: You busy with other things?
Ace: Yeah.
Red: Oh okay.
Ace: We'll leave Shadow Infinite alone and make a new one.
Red: Alright, yes let's keep Shadow Infinite alone 'cause I would like to see this site one day.
Ace: Ok I gotta go.

So, yeah, there you have it. As you can see, Shadow Infinite will be closed until further notice. However, we will rebuild Shadow Infinite and make it better than ever before!

Here was a message at the home page during the time:

"It's official. After 2 years of pure randomness, Shadow Infinite is announced (by Aceofshadows and Red Encabo) as a closed site. Shadow Infinite will no longer be updated until further notice. We have not made much success but we are currently planning to actually rebuiid Shadow Infinite with a new platform. We are sorry to say, but the era of the Shadow is officially done for."

So what is this new segment? It's called Red Encabo's Vintage Sites, a collection of websites (owned by me and my friends) that have been online for more than 2 years. If you would like to see what the current vintage collection is, here it is:

I haven't been using this logo for a really long time, and now it's time to put it up on the internet.

Big things this and last week happened for me and my brother (AGM, Rally, Microwave, and Practice). Plus tomorrow is half day for me! Thank God I am able to relax for a while, and maybe we could play some volleyball or baseball outside (maybe in fact, watch a baseball game for real).

Social Networking
I am going to join in a couple of new social sites. The first I would like to announce is Buxster. I just felt that it's right to join. Yes I do hear music and plus Buxster is a really beautiful site (sadly it's much, much nicer than mine.) but that's what I have to say. Extra social networks include Buddy Web (joined it a long time ago), and soon enough, I will join YouTube (and if possible, again, Wordpress. Or not.)

Reality Check
My mom and I need a new microwave because we have an old one that broke down which is half good and half bad. Bad because it is going to cost us and we can't cook food at a quick pace, but good because our old microwave sucks and undercooks food. So that should remind us about that. But in general, we'll end up with 2 microwaves (one old, one used but kind of new.)

Also in other news I have gotten a 2nd place position in the contest. I really liked to be 1st but I expected a lower position as I said in the previous blog post. My brother failed. Well, he actually did very well but his dynamics led to his failing and downfall. Happy to be 2nd, though there was 1 person who completely locked the prize.

Practice is coming up and I feel upset waking up in the morning at 8:00 for choir practice. I need to, however, get there on time so I don't owe late money (a new policy created by Tita Tess and Kuya Aris.) I need to memorize but unfortunately guess who had to fib a bit to get us into much of a schedule?

Shadow Infinite--Done For?
Probably you guys have guessed over the last couple of weeks Aceofshadows (my cousin) stopped working on Shadow Infinite because of the limited number of pages we could use. He asked me if I could try seeing if I could add more than 10 pages. Guess what? It's the same. As a result, Shadow Infinite might end this year.

Home Alone
My mom and dad will be going to Chicago, IL for an important something so I will be alone along with my brother and grandma (she works around the house because she wants to.) But that's really much it.

Much of as you can see will be discussed about HibbleLand for the third time. This following week we made some minor and major improvements on the site (and added some new feats) but there is one thing that we haven't succeeded in just yet and that it's missing: HibbleLand's videos.

Despite the fact that Creepster is offline making Ultimate Retards a reality, HibbleLand's Video Galleria is not complete, mainly because we have a couple of issues.

1. Rico won't help me with the site nor the videos (even though he and I decided doing this) and he only did the videos only to play.
2. Rendering the video takes an awfully long time, especially when rendering with Sony Vegas Pro 11. But I do hope that during the later year they do something about their issues such as stabilization rendering (it is worse than Sony Vegas Pro 10) and minor things so then Sony Vegas Pro will be better than itself (and other, you know what.)
3. Rico will also not take part of anything on HibbleLand. He doesn't really give a crap about the site but instead of the videos, but he's not doing anything about it.

Much of the fact that Rico is making this such as big issue for HibbleLand is making HibbleLand only 90% complete. But oh well.

Until we complete this there's not really much to do in HibbleLand, and that ends it.

HibbleLand is now fully open! Even though Rico and I still don't have the videos, they will be uploaded to the site for all to see. Now this will be a short and simple post, so listen carefully:

This was edited using the new Webs Site Builder. HibbeLand really consists of mostly linked external pages but it will contain currently a home page, a blog, and a video gallery. Extras will be coming soon. What I am so far thinking of adding is:

• A new guestbook page, for all to comment
• A contact page, so in case Rico is offline I can give him a message
• A forums page, members only, for all TF2 users, fanatics, etc.
  

Another thing I added was a collection of Pawn Tactics Videos that Rico and I recorded (Rico edited and played it) 1-2 years ago. Yes, only three of them are there, and yes again, you should probably wonder why we have that kind of stuff if HibbleLand is about Team Fortress 2? Rico was curious about it, but then again, he didn't give a crap.

What I don't want to hear is that blah blah blah blah My Little Pony and all that sh*t, alright? I'm not going to do anything about it and who does care? Why, I'm just doing this project's work. I did most of the work, and therefore I get most of the credit (as I said in the home page.)

But then anyways, enjoy this site. This site has no intention of being part of "My Websites" list, because, mainly, Rico made the idea after Destructionatore closed down (by the way, if you realized why Rico came back to Webs, it's because we made a deal about something...)

MINOR RENOVATIONS
I didn't do much in the Red Encabo Official Website Blog, but today I am here to tell that I have made minor renovations on the about page. Realizing that there's too much unnecessary information to post, I removed practically half of the page.

TWITTER & YOUTUBE
I have just opened my Twitter page two weeks ago for no real purpose but to tweet what's going on, and I am happy to announce that in the next day 10 people were following me. I actually didn't expect that, but I give thanks to those people. By the way, if your stuff interests me, I'll follow you, so maybe something good return will happen if you ever follow me.

So far we haven't been able to make any real videos, but videos from me will be worked on during the summer or fall. I don't have anything special going on, and I do not have the time. I really hate the new YouTube Channel Template (in case you or I haven't noticed), so the fact that making a nice wallpaper for the channel this late time of year will be difficult. But that's pretty much it.

WEBSITES AT A HALT
All of these sites have been on a hiatus or construction. Why have they not been doing anything and what is going on here?

• Shadow Infinite -- Telling Ace that Webs will only allow free users 10 pages, he will stop working on the website. "10 pages for a site is stupid," he remarked (something like this, not exact). "How can we add new content? Make a new duplicate of the site?" Until Webs brings 20 pages back and we have actual ideas about it, well, Shadow Infinite might be abandoned, closed, or stopped for a while. The grand re-opening has not been a success, except on Creepster's Lair.
• Creepster's Lair -- The problem for Shadow Infinite is the same problem for Creepster's Lair. Creepster told me to make a new duplicate, but it failed to do any good. At the other hand this site is at a halt because Creepster has been busy making videos. The two videos that he uploaded is a series called "Ultimate Retards." One is a pilot, and another is the second episode. I think it is completely silly, plus it's kind of (really seriously, a lot) based on Jackass. If he ever wants professional videos, he can always come to me ('cause I'm a geek.)
• Hibbleland -- Hibbleland is basically done, or is it? While Hibbleland only has a home page and a blog, Rico said "that's the only thing you need, I'll do the vids." What's the point of doing this if all he does is record vids only to "play"?
