I've decided to go ahead and republish my old website, as there were quite a few pages I still haven't moved over to my new one (mainly the MASH Scripts and Characters ones, but there are surprisingly a few more that may or may not be brought over depending on what I decide to do), and I don't want those pages to potentially be lost forever if I forget to add them. While doing this, I also decided to do a few maintenance activities on it to fix a few things like changing the email address the contact forms send to, finally having the website use HTTPS, as well as putting the ROM Hacking page back in the navigation bar. Not sure why that wasn't there.

As always, my new website is at https://drew-naylor.com, and new blog posts will continue to be published there as they have been for the last almost 6 years. Comments may also be manually placed onto the blog post on the new website if they're fine and the commenter says they want them to be placed there (emails won't be added, obviously), as I don't plan to keep checking and approving comments here because it's time to move on, towards the future. I hope you enjoyed my final blog post on my old website.

"It's been fun..."

Why is that you ask? Well, it's because I'm trying to start using my new site for blogging and stuff rather than this one. Here's a link to my blog: https://drew-naylor.com/blog/
Most recent post as of this particular blog post: ​https://drew-naylor.com//blog/2017/recent-website-improvements

I've been working on YouTube videos for both my main and my secondary YouTube channels as well as working on software on GitHub! If you're reading this on my GitHub site here, then you probably already know that site is hosted on GitHub, mainly because I link to the repository in a bunch of different places. If not, you're probably reading this on Weebly.

Something important to say is that I made the numbers for the titles on the Videos pages for Mario 64 Secrets 003 and 004 look better by copying the formatting trick I did for the 002 and 001 titles. That includes the bonus video titles as well.

I have updated the descriptions on most of my videos and changed some of the titles. Also, there's a new video ready!

Also I uploaded some new videos to both of my YouTube channels!

Note that I haven't actually made an entire changelog on my new site, http://www.drews-apps.weebly.com, but I did post there that the apps are available. Go to my GitHub Releases pages to download them, along with source code!
https://github.com/DrewNaylor/MSOfficeAppLauncherNext64/releases
https://github.com/DrewNaylor/MSOfficeAppLauncherNext32/releases
I've been working on my GitHub account for the past week almost. Development on these apps was actually started in 2013 but I have only gotten them released for the public.

I will be posting screenshots soon.

As the title states, from now on I will no longer be distributing Rom (Z64 or V64 etc) files and will be distributing all hacks in BPS patch format! If you don't know what BPS patches are, you can refer to this page on SMW Central: http://www.smwcentral.net/?p=viewthread&t=73147&page=1

UPDATE: The Roms page is now relisted in my site navigation bar. I tried to do it on the 13th, but I didn't get around to it.
In memory of Satoru Iwata, I am hiding the Roms page on my site for one month starting today, July 13 until August 13. On August 13, I will unhide the Roms page.

New videos on my website. Goodnight!

Please note that the following paragraph has been directly copied from my YouTube account.





Attention everyone: I have restored the Windows Update videos today. The reason I haven't been posting videos lately is because I kinda got bored of YouTube. So, I am still alive, just in case you were concerned. I do plan on making more videos in the future, but I'm not really working on any right now.


 I finished building my computer last September. It runs Linux Mint 17.1 with 8GB of RAM and 750GB of storage. It has a 3.4 GHz Intel Core i3-4130 processor with an Asus Z87-A ATX motherboard. As for videos, I do have some recordings on the PC of testing SSR and recording interesting things I see in Minecraft.

 I do have some video ideas in a text document on my laptop. On my wall in my office I have some more ideas such as an intro idea for a series I might make. The series might be unprofessional, (hint hint!), but I'll try my best to make them entertaining, because if "Cat Fails" can be entertaining, this should be as well. 


Sometime in the future I might be buying a wind instrument that became popular around 1998. Once I learn some songs on it, I'll probably make videos of it. But that won't be for at least 2 months. I really need to figure out some sort of content to record and upload to upload. Maybe I should make a video on OpenBroadcastSoftware...

     Whoah! Double post! I'm sure you weren't expecting that at all! Anyway, click on the "Read More" link below to read the entire article.

    Have you ever had something that you didn't want anymore so you take it to a second-hand store? It probably feels nice to get rid of some stuff and clean your house, but have you ever been given the exact same one as a gift from someone you don't know? Well, that recently happened to my mom. Click on "Read More" below to continue reading.

Today, I updated my Website. I have moved videos into their own categories, especially for Dolphin Emulator. I have also condensed the Navigation bar at the top of every page. I have hidden things that are not needed any more (you can still get to the now-unlisted pages by typing in their URL if you remember,) and removed some links that no longer work. Please enjoy my new Website layout and please send feedback to me; it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I have finally gotten a version of my ROM hack, "Super Luigi 64," released to commemorate the "Year of Luigi"! This had been my goal ever since I heard that 2013 was the "Year of Luigi". There is now an icon of Luigi in the HUD in place of Mario, among other changes. The ".30" in the file name is specifically for this occasion; 2013 is the 30th Anniversary of Luigi (1983-2013). The link to it is under the "ROMs" page, in the first category. I will be making a video for it soon.

I stopped using Google and went to Bing. I like Bing better than Google because of many things, including a new picture every day. Once I looked up my website on Bing and it had my YouTube videos for Dolphin Emulator. There is a link to Bing in the "Links" page on the site. I suggest people check it out.

I would like to say that version 1.0 of my program is released. This will be the final version. You can run v0.5 and v1.0 side by side, if you wanted to compare them. Each time I make a program, I set the installer on a default folder path of the version\name of the app. It will be the final version of Drew's App. I may make updates for it, however. Screenshots:

Today I would like to announce my release of version 0.5 of my application! There are lots of improvements to it, including but not limited to being a portable application and including an installer. See the new "Changelog" file for details. I still need to add stuff to the "About" page. "TabPage1" contains nothing. Screenshot:

Most requirements are the same, but the installer will tell you how much space you need.

Download:

Today I would like to announce the first release of my first program, Drew's Application! It does not sound like much but sometime I will make the title better. Here is a screenshot:

This application is currently just an "About" screen. In future versions there will be more things.
Here are the requirements:

• Windows XP SP3 or higher
  
• 32-bit or 64-bit
• Microsoft .NET Framework 4 (Google it. First result.)
• Processor: Pentium 1 GHz or higher with 512 MB of RAM or more
• Minimum disk space: (Needed for the .Net Framework)
• x86 (32-Bit) – 850 MB
• x64 (64-Bit) – 2 GB
• Prerequisites: (For the .Net Framework 4)
• Windows Installer 3.1 or later
• Internet Explorer 5.01 or later

I need to fix this. I have made a newer version and with this release I will have all of the needed files since I know what they are. I will also just put the files after installation into a ZIP file.
