			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m combining the regular post and the build review, just because. Is this one more fun to play with than the <a href="/msg-20-gatling-gun">gatling gun</a>? The answer may surprise you.<span id="more-5700"></span></p>
<ul class="easygals">
<li><span><em>1&nbsp;</em></span><a href="http://zoido.smeat.net/zurt/wp-content/uploads/etc_msg26_01.jpg" rel="shadowbox[5700]" title=""><img src="http://zoido.smeat.net/zurt/wp-content/uploads/etc_msg26_01-120x90.jpg" alt="" /></a></li>

<li><span><em>4&nbsp;</em></span><a href="http://zoido.smeat.net/zurt/wp-content/uploads/etc_msg26_04.jpg" rel="shadowbox[5700]" title="Attached to a Giant Human Like Battle Robot"><img src="http://zoido.smeat.net/zurt/wp-content/uploads/etc_msg26_04-120x90.jpg" alt="" /></a></li>
</ul><p>Some additional neat/interesting things I will point out pictorially, as soon as I stop being lazy:</p>
<ul>
<li>The chain has 40 links. Two different types, 20 each. You will spend a LOT of time on that part.</li>
<li>One of the sprues comes with a couple of spare chain links (in dull flat grey). I guess if you hamhand one of the proper ones, all is not lost.</li>
<li>The handle can be removed, and this can just mount into an elbow joint of proper Giant Human Like Battle Robots (probably many HG gundams)</li>
<li>There are over 9000 hardpoints and whatever the opposite of hardpoints are called (holes?), so you should be able to find a way to attach this to your favorite Giant Human Like Battle Robot or Zoid. Be prepared to wait at least six months for proof of this (besides the Juaggu up there).</li>
</ul>
<p>Perhaps in six months I will also post something better than crappy cameraphone pics. Though, to be fair, the crappy camera on my phone is at least as good as the ones that took most of the pics on this site (before I got the SLR in 2009).</p>
<p>Oh, and the answer is <strong>yes</strong>, by the way.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Too much stuff going on. I can&#8217;t concentrate on things like figuring out what to charge, or where the stuff is, or packing and shipping of the stuff.</p>
<p>[...]</p>
<p>So, how about that HMM Berserk Fuhrer that&#8217;s coming out? If there&#8217;s one thing that would tempt me to come back&#8212;even after the <a href="/hmm-015-iron-kong">Iron Kong Fiasco</a> (and my general case of hamhands)&#8212;it&#8217;d be this one. BUT there&#8217;s no way in space-hell I can afford that thing. It&#8217;ll probably be one of those 7800 yen bastards, and with shipping and conversion rates, I&#8217;d be paying well over $100 for something that I could very well ruin and/or be severely disappointed in.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, I did it. After a year or so of <em>thinking</em> about it, and many many late nights, I finally redesigned this damn thing. For all the work I put into it, things sure don&#8217;t look all that different, but here&#8217;s a quick tour, anyway. In list form:</p>
<ul>
<li>Whatever the newest post is (Zoids posts, news posts, &#8220;meta&#8221; stuff), it will appear at the top of the front page. For visibility and all that.</li>
<li>Under that: recent Zoids posts, links to the last few news posts, recent comments, new/updated pics (lots of them).</li>
<li>It looks better on bigger screens, but probably not as good on tiny (less than 1024&#215;768) screens.</li>
<li>More thick black lines, because I wanted them!</li>
<li>I redid all the random corner images (because I lost the original Photoshop file), and added a couple more.</li>
<li>I added more randomly changing stuff (the corner, banner, and footer backgrounds change color every time you load a page).</li>
<li>I added a bunch of crazy CSS3 stuff. (Round corners! Shadows!)</li>
<li>Hopefully the design is cleaner? HA!</li>
<li>Probably a ton of bugs in Internet Exploder (I am pretty sure I don&#8217;t want to know about these).</li>
<li>Still no new content!</li>
</ul>
<p>There are still a few lingering things that annoy me, so I&#8217;ll get to those in, uhh, two years. Also, I changed the name to &#8220;&#8230;and Stuff&#8221; partly because I&#8217;m trying not to use so many dang cusswords on my sites, but mostly because of <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54SdxmRHV6U">Ron Swanson</a>. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In which I post screenshots of almost every iteration of this site, all the way back to the beginning of time.<span id="more-5446"></span>
<ul>
<li><strong>1996</strong><br />
<a href="/zurt/wp-content/uploads/etc_hos1996-home.png" rel="shadowbox[5446]" title="1996"><img src="/zurt/wp-content/uploads/etc_hos1996-home-120x90.png" alt="" /></a> <a href="/zurt/wp-content/uploads/etc_hos1996-sub.png" rel="shadowbox[5446]" title="1996"><img src="/zurt/wp-content/uploads/etc_hos1996-sub-61x90.png" alt="" /></a><br />
The only thing this is missing is a &#8220;best viewed in Netscape&#8221; button. And content. But hey, this was the second Zoids site ever. (The first one was a 1995 user page on teleport.com that was gone shortly after. As you can see, I have been using some variation of that background image (from Techno Zoids boxes) since the beginning!</li>
<li><strong>1997</strong><br />
<a href="/zurt/wp-content/uploads/etc_hos1997-home.gif" rel="shadowbox[5446]" title="1997"><img src="/zurt/wp-content/uploads/etc_hos1997-home-88x90.gif" alt="" /></a> <a href="/zurt/wp-content/uploads/etc_hos1997-sub1.png" rel="shadowbox[5446]" title="1997"><img src="/zurt/wp-content/uploads/etc_hos1997-sub1-68x90.png" alt="" /></a> <a href="/zurt/wp-content/uploads/etc_hos1997-sub2.gif" rel="shadowbox[5446]" title="1997"><img src="/zurt/wp-content/uploads/etc_hos1997-sub2-120x90.gif" alt="" /></a> <a href="/zurt/wp-content/uploads/etc_hos1997-sub3.png" rel="shadowbox[5446]" title="1997"><img src="/zurt/wp-content/uploads/etc_hos1997-sub3-100x90.png" alt="" /></a> <a href="/zurt/wp-content/uploads/etc_hos1997-sub4.png" rel="shadowbox[5446]" title="1997"><img src="/zurt/wp-content/uploads/etc_hos1997-sub4-69x90.png" alt="" /></a><br />
In which I discover animated gifs. Also, my first plastic swap (an <a href="/merda-runna-hellrunner">all silver Merda</a>)! I didn&#8217;t have a camera at the time, so I just shooped it, and provided shooping instructions.</li>
<li><strong>1998</strong><br />
<a href="/zurt/wp-content/uploads/etc_hos1998-i-quit.png" rel="shadowbox[5446]" title="1998 (there were links to the 96 and 97 versions)"><img src="/zurt/wp-content/uploads/etc_hos1998-i-quit-120x90.png" alt="" /></a><br />
I got burned out on inter-nets.</li>
<li><strong>2000&#8211;2001</strong><br />
<a href="/zurt/wp-content/uploads/etc_hos2000-splash.png" rel="shadowbox[5446]" title="2000 (useless splash page)"><img src="/zurt/wp-content/uploads/etc_hos2000-splash-120x90.png" alt="" /></a> <a href="/zurt/wp-content/uploads/etc_hos2000-sub.jpg" rel="shadowbox[5446]" title="2000"><img src="/zurt/wp-content/uploads/etc_hos2000-sub-120x90.jpg" alt="" /></a> <a href="/zurt/wp-content/uploads/etc_hos2000-sub-popup.jpg" rel="shadowbox[5446]" title="2000 (popups!)"><img src="/zurt/wp-content/uploads/etc_hos2000-sub-popup-120x90.jpg" alt="" /></a> <a href="/zurt/wp-content/uploads/etc_hos2001-sub.jpg" rel="shadowbox[5446]" title="2001"><img src="/zurt/wp-content/uploads/etc_hos2001-sub-120x90.jpg" alt="" /></a><br />
I had a nifty ascii-art splash page, even though splash pages are stupid and annoying and useless. The 2000 subpage header was a bad shoop of Death Saurer about to destroy Atlanta, because I lived there at the time, and hated it. The 2001 one is something else, because I moved away. On both, the bad posterization effect was intentional. Trying to make bad photos look less bad doesn&#8217;t always work (#instagram, #hashtagsdontworkonblogs).</li>
<li><strong>2003</strong><br />
<a href="/zurt/wp-content/uploads/etc_hos2003-home.jpg" rel="shadowbox[5446]" title="2003 (blue)"><img src="/zurt/wp-content/uploads/etc_hos2003-home-90x90.jpg" alt="" /></a><br />
I tried a different color scheme. That&#8217;s it.</li>
<li><strong>2006 (or thereabouts)</strong><br />
<a href="/zurt/wp-content/uploads/etc_hos2006-home.jpg" rel="shadowbox[5446]" title="2006"><img src="/zurt/wp-content/uploads/etc_hos2006-home-103x90.jpg" alt="" /></a> <a href="/zurt/wp-content/uploads/etc_hos2006-sub1.jpg" rel="shadowbox[5446]" title="2006"><img src="/zurt/wp-content/uploads/etc_hos2006-sub1-103x90.jpg" alt="" /></a> <a href="/zurt/wp-content/uploads/etc_hos2006-sub2.jpg" rel="shadowbox[5446]" title="2006"><img src="/zurt/wp-content/uploads/etc_hos2006-sub2-64x90.jpg" alt="" /></a> <a href="/zurt/wp-content/uploads/etc_hos2006-sub3.jpg" rel="shadowbox[5446]" title="2006"><img src="/zurt/wp-content/uploads/etc_hos2006-sub3-55x90.jpg" alt="" /></a><br />
Still blue, but starting to look like the current layouts. First appearance of the random corner image. I also started trying to arrange things into categories. By hand. I made each entry a separate text file, and then used virtual includes on each of the category pages. It was a pain. During this time I had an &#8220;old designs&#8221; page, which I forgot to restore until now.</li>
<li><strong>2007&#8211;2008</strong><br />
<a href="/zurt/wp-content/uploads/etc_hos2008-home.jpg" rel="shadowbox[5446]" title="2008"><img src="/zurt/wp-content/uploads/etc_hos2008-home-122x90.jpg" alt="" /></a> <a href="/zurt/wp-content/uploads/etc_hos2008-sub1.jpg" rel="shadowbox[5446]" title="2008 (handy?)"><img src="/zurt/wp-content/uploads/etc_hos2008-sub1-120x90.jpg" alt="" /></a> <a href="/zurt/wp-content/uploads/etc_hos2008-sub2.jpg" rel="shadowbox[5446]" title="2008"><img src="/zurt/wp-content/uploads/etc_hos2008-sub2-79x90.jpg" alt="" /></a> <a href="/zurt/wp-content/uploads/etc_hos2008-sub3.jpg" rel="shadowbox[5446]" title="2008 (non zoid stuff)"><img src="/zurt/wp-content/uploads/etc_hos2008-sub3-58x90.jpg" alt="" /></a><br />
The last pre-Wordpress site, and the first appearance of the &#8220;Gustav carrying Smeat&#8221; banner (since I got a <a href="http://smeat.net/#mine">real can</a> around this time). Also around this time, &#8220;lightbox&#8221; style scripts were invented, so I could finally ditch that custom popup script I&#8217;d been using for images since 2000. It was pretty nice, all conforming to the image size and having a loading status, and even a title, but UGH I HATE POPUPS. I had a bunch of other silly javascript stuff in this design too. The top menu always stayed at the top, and a &#8220;go back to top&#8221; link always stayed in the lower right corner. I was also into showing and hiding blocks of text for some reason.</li>
<li><strong>May, 2008&#8211;January, 2012</strong><br />
<a href="/zurt/wp-content/uploads/etc_hos2011-home.jpg" rel="shadowbox[5446]" title="2011 (in case you forgot already)"><img src="/zurt/wp-content/uploads/etc_hos2011-home-78x90.jpg" alt="" /></a> <a href="/zurt/wp-content/uploads/etc_hos2011-sub1.jpg" rel="shadowbox[5446]" title="2011"><img src="/zurt/wp-content/uploads/etc_hos2011-sub1-78x90.jpg" alt="" /></a> <a href="/zurt/wp-content/uploads/etc_hos2011-sub2.jpg" rel="shadowbox[5446]" title="2011"><img src="/zurt/wp-content/uploads/etc_hos2011-sub2-78x90.jpg" alt="" /></a> <a href="/zurt/wp-content/uploads/etc_hos2011-sub3.jpg" rel="shadowbox[5446]" title="2011"><img src="/zurt/wp-content/uploads/etc_hos2011-sub3-78x90.jpg" alt="" /></a><br />
So I thought I&#8217;d learn how to do a site in WordPress. I spent too much time trying to get things to work to mess with the design.</li>
<li><strong>January, 2012&#8211;??</strong><br />
You&#8217;re soaking in it!</li>

</ul><p><strong>1: </strong> A Merda with a <a href="/069-seismosaurus">Seismosaurus</a> gunner seat for a head. I ended up using the gunner seat for the <a href="/2005-10-helcat-mk-ii">Helcat MK-II</a> custom.</p>
<p><strong>2&#8211;3: </strong> A very black Geno Breaker. I painted some extra <a href="/ez-034-geno-breaker">Breaker</a> parts I had, and put them on a Geno Saurer I used to have (I sold it before I got around to taking any pics of it).</p>
<p><strong>4&#8211;5: </strong> <a href="/iron-kong">Techno Zoids Kong</a> and <a href="/gz-014-deadly-kong">Deadly Kong</a>. It wasn&#8217;t as cool as I hoped.</p>
<p><strong>6&#8211;8: </strong> <a href="/ez-015-iron-kong">NJR</a> frame plus <a href="/iron-kong-pk">PK</a> armor plus Techno Zoid&#8217;s motor equals a very very red Kong.</p>
<p><strong>9&#8211;11: </strong> Take the above, and use <a href="/yuji-kaida-03-iron-kong-yeti">Yeti</a> armor instead, and you get&#8230; Rescue Kong!</p>
<p><strong>12&#8211;14: </strong> This was my favorite until <a href="/iron-kong-karls-type">Karl&#8217;s Type</a>. NJR armor plus PK frame equals a very dark Kong. All the different gunmetal shades here are pretty sweet. If I had an OJR MK-II (which had truly black armor), I could combine it with the <a href="/2009-anime-10th-edition-02-iron-kong">Schubaltz</a> inner frame (also truly black) and make a &#8220;none more black&#8221; one that would be impossible to photograph.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m putting this up mostly for historical completeness. Anyway, the Hasbro one&#8217;s big difference was that spacers were added to make its body wider, I guess because of US safety standards or something. Eventually this bugged me enough that I sold it. I think I was going to put the money toward a proper NJR, but I was probably broke at the time. I did make a couple &#8220;joiner&#8221; style pics, though. That was about all my crappy camera could do with this guy.<span id="more-5477"></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Which means I took a few more things off the &#8220;never selling&#8221; and &#8220;probably never selling&#8221; lists. Which means you should buy them off me.</p>
<p>As soon as I remember all the php I used to know, I can stop posting this list and saying &#8220;if it doesn&#8217;t have one of these tags, go for it&#8221;:</p>
<ul class="links">
<li><a href="/tag/sold">Sold</a></li>
<li><a href="/tag/sale-pending">Sale Pending</a></li>
<li><a href="/tag/undecided">Probably Never Selling</a> (aka make a bigger offer)</li>
<li><a href="/tag/never-selling">Never Selling</a> (aka make a HUGE offer)</li>
</ul>
<p>Read the <a href="/2011-02-25-fire-sale-probably"><strong>Original Fire Sale post</strong></a> too, since its rules still apply. Then read <a href="http://zoido.smeat.net/2011-08-24-the-fire-sale-is-back-on"><strong>the last news post</strong></a>, as it has pertinent information about how to request stuff, as well as how not to waste my time.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Kind of. Most of my crap is still in storage, so I can only go searchin&#8217; once a week or so. With that in mind, <strong>DON&#8217;T WASTE MY TIME!</strong> Example: Don&#8217;t ask for, like, half my collection, and then hit me with a &#8220;but I don&#8217;t have any money, herp derp&#8221; (true story). I will become so mad.</p>
<p>Anyway, check these tags. If it doesn&#8217;t have one of these, you can probably have it:</p>
<ul class="links">
<li><a href="/tag/sold">Sold</a></li>
<li><a href="/tag/sale-pending">Sale Pending</a></li>
<li><a href="/tag/undecided">Probably Never Selling</a></li>
<li><a href="/tag/never-selling">Never Selling</a></li>
</ul>
<p>(Unless I change my mind and decide I still want something, in which case: SORRY)</p>
<p>Email offers to glidoler on the inter-nets mail system of Yahoo (dot com). Or leave a comment somewhere. Note: if you leave a comment on a post, it won&#8217;t show up immediately or at all, because I screen first&#8212;too much spam.</p>
<p>Read the <a href="/2011-02-25-fire-sale-probably"><strong>Original Fire Sale post</strong> too, since its rules still apply.</a></p>
