Welcome to theJADED Network, the new home of Dragonrain.Com! \^o^/
After thinking about it for several years, it actually took me about 20 minutes to make the final decision to make this move. The Pros outweighed the Cons by several points, so it really just boiled down to "why the hell not?"
The Million Dollar Question that I always get through visitor feedback is where I got the name DRAGONRAIN from. Pretty simple really:
I liked dragons. They're cool. I liked rain (still do). Fun to dance in.
Dragons + Rain = Dragonrain.
Now I'm a few years older and it's time for a change.
The JADED? Overindulgence; a disreputable or ill-tempered woman; cynically or pretentiously callous.
YESH. I am (and TJN is) all of these things wrapped into one pretty, ticking birthday present. Perfect name *w*.
CODING HAZARD I seriously had some old and molding code clogging up the site, and to seriously clean it all up meant flipping a lot of the structure inside-out. So I did. With a shiny new name tag and everything.
So what's so great about TJN?
CLEAN CODE Yup. That won't matter to 99.9% of you. But it makes me happy.
CLEAN STYLES means it's PRETTIER. Hey, I like pretty.
Easier-to-update Structure which, again, won't matter to 99.9% of you. But in the long run it means I won't take so long to update anymore (let's hope so?).
A main page that MAKES SENSE 'nuff said.
Wiiiiidescreen Previews for those walls that have widescreen.
More resolutions because I actually went through the 150+ wallpapers I had on file and RESIZED them all. OMFG.
On another note, I have decided to stop supporting IE6 (aka Internet Explorer 6). It's a browser that should've died ten years ago (maybe even more than that), and there's no reason for me to put in extra hours of coding to make TJN work for people still living in the stone ages. Sorry. But you need to upgrade...to FIREFOX.
FYI all you web-savvy people out there: Even GOOGLE has dropped this dying browser.
// Note added 05.14.10
Or Google Chrome. Though the only official release is for Windows right now...there IS a beta version for Mac and Linux.
With all that said I'm gonna need your help with bug reporting. I checked through most of the pages, but I am not a god. So please shoot me an email if something looks funny. Jay on May 9 10 @ 8:20 pm
May is coming! This means LABOR DAY WEEKEND PEOPLE!!! >o
OKAY. Some announcements.
FIRST wallpaper previews will now include widescreen. Yay! You'll get a more accurate preview of what size each wall was designed for, rather than cropped and mushed and...square.
SECOND also regarding wallpapers, I am seriously considering including HD-1080 Full High Definition* resolution downloads. This means all you peeps with extra short and stout monitors might have a better chance of using a TJN wallie without a face cut off >D. But, this depends on how popular the idea is.
I've already received quite a few requests for this resolution, and the squeaky wheel gets the oil so...lemme know ;).
*Applies to a 16:9 ratio: 1920x1080, 1600x900, 1365x768, 1280x720...

THIRD I've noticed a few funky errors going on in the little graphics requests block. This should be fixed now.
FOURTH is maintenance. Some pruning has been done all over the site, so all the old and rotten stuff are gone for good. Some security updates have also been made, and while I've tested these, there may be some bugs. If there are, please let me know or you will keep seeing that same error again...and again...and again....
FIFTH...and this isn't exactly site-related...SOME LOVE FOR THEwaller that just released its 3rd issue!! I had the honor of writing a feature under the penname sjade1 :D.
On a last note, a big THANK YOU to all those who made me bday wallpapers and bday cards last month! It was really really sweet of you guys :). *hugs* Jay on Apr 24 10 @ 1:10 am
About time the walling community had some competition again! Here's one of a few newer ones this year, featuring Kunie Kanbara's "ECHO" artbook as its prize :). You'll have to be a member of Minitokyo to participate (but if you aren't already, it's free to sign up). I'm participating too, so we'll see how it goes!
(Also, if you want to go directly to the post on MT click here)
That said, site maintenance is still going on. Only one thing that might interest you as the visitor/user of TJN walls: some quick FAQs on wallpaper use and exceptions to the TJN TOS Agreement.
If you've still got questions, only way to find out is to ask. Jay on Feb 24 10 @ 8:10 pm -
