Moyashimon (Tales of Agriculture) is by far the best show I've seen from this last season.  Boy sees microbes, not as they appear under a microscope but as they appear above.  Boy grows up, goes to agricultural college.  Adventures and hilarity ensue.  The microbes are adorable.  There's stinky beautiful alcoholic women.  Athlete's foot.  Scientists in goth wear.  Sucking fermented food stuffs out dead albatross butt.  Surviving Hasegawa's embrace.  Brewing saki.  Ruining saki.  Old men covered in microbes.  Secret bars.  Also, there's a trap.  Just watch it. 



I'm going to fast forward here because obviously I'll never catch up if I don't.  Here are the top 7 from the month of December.

3dbooru is again on a current build (Danbooru 1.12.1).  Log and friends have made a tremendous effort to clean up a good deal of the tagme files and should be thanked profusely.  We are quietly approaching 30K images.  January has been a pretty good month I think.


I want one :3

Migration to the new server is complete and all appears well.  She's a bit faster, has a bit more room to grow and is running a current-ish build of Danbooru.  There have been some snags along the way but I like to think of them as self-education opportunities :3

New features of this build include:

• Auto-delete moderation queue (as seen on the original danbooru site).
• An improved tag box with better ways of sorting/showing related tag search results.
• Dmail - an internal PM System.
• A shortened name (typing ~three-dee-booru~ got obnoxious)
• A new logo because pachira's box came from an existing icon set.  Besides, it was poorly drawn by me so it is moe, right?
  

I also have a huge backlog of stuff that needs to be posted.  I'll get around to it, really.

Picks time.

Saya here is some kind of idol/music person.  I found her rather cute with her cowboy hat and glasses.

Watch more Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei.

It is kind of interesting to see how far my tastes differ from the general visitors of 3db.  Well, to me anyway.  For instance, the week of November 5th-11th showed these to be the top five images.

One of my own choice for that week would have been this.


On the other hand my tastes line up quite a bit better for the following week of Nov 12th - 18th.

I more or less agree with this but would have preferred another Minami Akina image because I just think she's cute as hell.

Server move looks like it will happen next week barring unforseen problems.  I may even update to a current build of Danbooru, I will test one out before I do.

3dbooru will be migrating to a new server in the near future.  This blog has already moved to the new server along with a couple other projects.  It isn't that there is anything particularly wrong with the old server I've just learned quite a bit since setting up my first one and want to start fresh/consolidate my various hosts.  I'm not even changing hosting companies, I quite like/recommend slicehost.  I may even retain the old "box" (shrunk back to the smallest size) for testing.  Imagine not testing on a production server!

I hope niconico-san approves.

Traffic has leveled out to about 10-12 thousand unique visitors a month and we are averaging around half a million pageviews.  This is just a drop in the bucket compared to daddy danbooru but as I've concluded huge popularity is probably not a good idea for one-man show who can't even find the time to update his blog regularly.  The site has not yet paid for hosting but is getting there which all that I care about.  Bandwidth is manageable and as C73 images are popping up all over the place the 70/30 mix of gravure vs cosplay should start to drift back a better mix.

Little catch-up here.  These are the top 5 images of the week of October 29, 2007 - November 05, 2007

Oh, one more because I missed xmas.


Belated Merry Christmas/Sexy Kwanza whatever and Happy New Year :3
