Prepare for Slideshow Bob (0)

Apologies for the lack of updates over the last few weeks, but I've had pretty important exams and so, naturally, revision for them is top of my list. However, this update resorts to a common theme - the Simpsons Ride! It is now officially open, and you can catch up with all the happenings of the grand opening on IOA Central. Initial reports seem very positive, so hopefully the ride will give the show some credit.
And god, it needs it right now. Last week's new episode in the US, 'Mona Leaves-a', managed just 6.02 million viewers. Ouch. The nineteenth season wraps up this weekend in America, but it's still got a fair bit to run on Sky One in the UK. 'That 90s Show' airs this Sunday at 8.30pm, before Lost. There's then one a week for the foreseeable future, at least until mid-June. And it's also worth watching Channel 4 at 6.00pm every day this week, as season 14 is now showing. No idea what the hell C4 seem to be doing, as season 15 started, made it up to the fifth episode and then threw season 14 on instead. Crazy.
If you're an episode guide fanatic, it will hopefully be fixed asap from it's currently entirely random state. You can still browse by season, but the order's messed up due to the site changing server. And, yes, season 19 will come some time soon ;)
Also, a little help - the site is looking for a grabpic/multimedia artist that can help us to update with grabpics and the like. If you're interested, email me or send a personal message to Homer the Moe on No Homers Club. Posted on 17 May 2008; by Andy

Operator, give me the number for 911 (0)

Well, apologies for the small update drought we've been suffering over the last few weeks. I've had a lot of work to do, and I've had my priorities right, hopefully. That doesn't mean that I haven't been working on the site. In fact, it's quite the opposite.
There may not have been a lot of updates, but there's a big change in the information section - the characters page has been completely revamped. Why, you may be wondering. Well, if I was going to keep adding characters like I planned to, I didn't want the page to be overly long. So, in keeping with thinking outside the box, I used a script called iBox. Now, when you click on a thumbnail of the character, it brings up the details in an inline box. This minimises the clutter, and since you're more likely to recognise your favourite characters' appearances rather than names, it makes sense to have images at the forefront. And let me know what you think of the inline viewer, because it may be coming soon to a few more pages.
The obligatory Simpsons Ride update - and it's officially 'soft-opened'. That means that it's open, but not too heavily advertised before it's May 15th official opening date. IOA Central has all the things you'll need. Enjoy. Posted on 04 May 2008; by Andy

Well, it's been a little while since my last update, purely because I've been swamped this week with work from college. Bad times. But I have a little bit of content for you today, so be grateful!
In fact, let's get straight to that. 2 brand new wallpapers take our total up to 24 desktops, now including Bart and Krusty the Clown. Nice.
And, to explain the Simpsons Ride logo to the left, there's some news that may interest those of you that'll be desperate to ride it. It's opening at Universal Studios Orlando on May 15th, and two days later in Hollywood. And, honestly, it looks fantastic. We can finally see behind the construction wall, and it looks really good - lots of carnival stalls, and a really nice classic-theme-park feel. The LA Times says it's more than a Back to the Future clone, saying that $40million has been spent transforming the ride. And, for those of you desperate for more news, it's worth keeping half an eye on Screamscape and IOA Central for all the latest. More updates soon, folks. And give the random link generator a whirl, it's over on the sidebar.
EDIT! I've changed the poll, and you can get the results from the last one on the voting booth page. 49% of people love the design, while 31% couldn't get over the fact that it's pink. Who would win, Snake, Ralph, Matt Groening? Have your say. Posted on 19 Apr 2008; by Andy
