State of the Forums

By The Eva Monkey on Thursday, March 30th, 2006 in Eva Monkey.

Seeing as how I’m asked about the forums on a nearly daily basis, a status update is probably in order. The forums are back, but are not fully functional. In order to get the forums fixed, I would need to shell out $50 to my host to get them to do something I should be […]

Evangelion Doujinshi Fighter Found!

By The Eva Monkey on Sunday, March 26th, 2006 in Fandom, Video Games.

Thanks go out to kinglear for providing an archive of the Evangelion doujinshi fighting game that was sought after for a number of months back. I’ve installed it and can verify that it does indeed work, but I cannot verify the integrity of the package at all. Install and run it at your own risk. […]

Forum back… kind of.

By The Eva Monkey on Saturday, March 18th, 2006 in Eva Monkey.

Well, after about three weeks, I finally got the forums restored. Only there’s a problem with the database, and no one is able to log in, not even me. And to make matters worse, the database is hidden away from phpmyadmin, so I can’t fix it manually through that. I swear, I will have the […]

Undergraduate Research

By The Eva Monkey on Monday, March 6th, 2006 in Personal.

Today I turned in my application to UMBC’s undergraduate research program. Every year, the school grants a handful of students with a grant of upwards of $1500 to pursue research on a subject of their choosing. Recently, it’s starting to get competitive, with not everyone who applies receiving funding, and not everyone who wins getting […]

Sheet Music

By The Eva Monkey on Friday, March 3rd, 2006 in Music.

I’m fairly sure there are some people out there that have an immense love of both Evangelion and music, and some of you may be inclined enough to rock out to Cruel Angel’s Thesis on a piano. So if the thought of playing some Eva music on your instrument of choice has ever occured to […]

Forums Back Soon

By The Eva Monkey on Thursday, March 2nd, 2006 in Eva Monkey.

It took some effort, but the forums will DEFINITELY be back within the next 24-48 hours. You do not need to re-register, the forums will be back in more or less their former state. You might need to re-upload your avatar, and the forum skin might not look the same, but all the posts and […]

Precognition

By The Eva Monkey on Wednesday, February 22nd, 2006 in Eva Monkey.

In the past, there was a problem with a limit on SQL queries which killed the board periodically. There was also some problems with certain controls that are only related to administrative control. I had been planning a fresh install of the newest version of phpbb in hopes of alleviating or phasing out these issues […]

Manga Volume 10

By The Eva Monkey on Monday, February 13th, 2006 in Neon Genesis Evangelion (manga).

Eva Manga Volume 10 has been slated for release in Japan on March 25th. We could likely expect the English adaptation anywhere from 3-6 months afterward. Soon rather than later, hopefully.

All I want for my birthday…

By The Eva Monkey on Saturday, February 11th, 2006 in Merchandise.

…is a Hideaki Anno action figure. Behold! You can have your very own Hideaki Anno to pose and admire in all his articulated glory. This figure depicts the renowned director as Ultraman from Daicon Film’s 1983 production “The Return of Ultraman“. Never before has plastic been able to capture such amazingness as with this glorious […]

The Banning of PhilipCult

By The Eva Monkey on Monday, February 6th, 2006 in Eva Monkey.

I don’t like to ban people from the forums. I generally let people do what they want within reason. I don’t make people use kindergarten acceptable language, and I generally let people be themselves. It has worked fairly well so far, aside from a few isolated instances which have been dealt with It is not […]
