Links to the "OZJournals" Blog Script Site Inactive

Posted by Merit Celaire on Monday, October 16, 2023 - 08:29 PM

Playing catch-up on other stuff that's music operations related as well; I've just been informed and encountered that links to the site for Online Zone Journals (also known as "OZJournals") have become inactive (apparently because it was under an account that was hosted by Google). In case you didn't know, it is the same blog script that is running the main angles of this "home base website" as a whole.

Thankfully, on the backend, I have managed to see about getting the email address of the blog script's author and sent an inquiry their way to find out what the deal is and when their site itself for OZJournals might possibly return in earnest; waiting to hear back at this time.

Until then, it's just a heads-up on that angle for now. I'm out.

Still Battling "Adversarial Forces" on the Frontend, But Forging Through New Music Cover Stuff on the Backend / Your Help Still Needed!

Posted by Merit Celaire on Monday, October 16, 2023 - 07:53 PM

Good evening, friends; apologies for being so literally dormant on the frontend (once again, blame a lot of real life adversarial matters getting in the way including family issues and work obligations stuff outside of these music operations as a whole). Believe me when I say that I've been battling through a bunch of these "adversarial forces" that are trying to keep me from progressing on adding new music covers for this site; however, I can assure you that I am definitely not letting it get to me on the backend. These passionate music endeavors maintained by yours truly continue.

Case in point: as you can see from our "Music Arrangements Progress Page", although I'm still trying to find breakthroughs so I can finally make a dent on more planned song covers to share related to Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe as well as Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit, more song cover ideas crossed my radar that I'm starting to work on tracker procedure wise targeting stuff from Nintendo 3DS games Mario Tennis Open and Mario Sports Superstars. Details are still under lock and key on what song are being covered this time around involving the two Mario games in question that were done for the Nintendo 3DS; however, I can state that my hope is that we can get them posted during this final quarter of the 2023 year. Additionally, at least one of these upcoming songs might have a new featured Super Nintendo music instrument set in tow, so stay tuned!

In the meantime, I'm still trying to catch up music operations related correspondence on all angles; that doesn't mean that the need still isn't there to hear from many more of you faithful friends/visitors of these beloved music operations as a whole (especially from those of you who have send me song cover suggestion stuff from our two online  forms before). In fact, your involvement in this is needed more than ever as we forge through the remainder of these final months of the year. So if you still have run into any more songs from the featured Mario installments which you hope I'll cover in the near future, please don't hesitate to let me know about those candidates here; additionally, don't forget that ever since we've recently added the game pages for Mario Kart Arcade GP2 and Super Mario Party, our other online suggestion form was updated with the addition of those two installments as well. So please don't hesitate to let me know if you're one of the folks who's looking forward to hearing song covers from these two games as well if you're definitely familiar with them.

Once again, I definitely thank you all in advance for your patience and understanding as I'm battling real life adversarial forces on the frontend; however, you'd better believe that if "they" think that they can knock yours truly out sharing enthusiasm for Nintendo's Mario game series as a whole on the music front, they're in need of a literal reality check.

We're also still in need to get our "community involvement" numbers to increase related to these music operations as a whole as well, but that's for another post down the road. Until then, see you all next time around. I'm out.

October 2023 Greetings: Sorting Through the Planbook and "Real Life Matters" At The Same Time

Posted by Merit Celaire on Tuesday, October 3, 2023 - 04:57 PM

Finally snagged the chance to see about writing this formal monthly greetings entry as we start brand new month of October and the second of the "final four months period" of 2023. Yes, yours truly is still alive on the backend as we're still battling through the planbook to see what we should focus on next to share with you faithful friends/followers of these beloved music operations as a whole. As you are already aware, before the previous month came to a close, we managed to add some new covers and start a new game page that's house Super Nintendo music styled arrangements targeting songs from Super Mario Party. If you haven't had the chance to check the new page out, you're able to do so by going here; also, don't forget that if you have ran into any other song candidates from this same Super Mario Party that you think I should consider down the road (or any other "active" featured Mario game series installment, for that matter), let me know about them via this online form.

As far as new music arrangement content goes for this brand new month of October, it looks like we're getting ready to do just that in just one to days. Since the past weekend, another song from Mario Kart Tour recently got my attention as of late to do the arrangement process on it; as of the date and time of this posting, I'm in the final phases of getting the file finalized for posting to share with you all before the week is out. So be on the lookout on this front page either during the course of tomorrow (Wednesday) or Thursday for when said new music cover in question gest added for our Mario Kart Tour page. The upcoming song cover details are still under lock and key until then, but when the time comes for yours truly to make the announcement regarding said file addition, I doubt you'll be disappointed when you find out what song from Mario Kart Tour was on my radar recently.

Finally, on a side note: I still appreciate many of you bearing with me as I'm still trying to slowly get back into my Super Nintendo music style arrangement groove itself even more, despite a bunch more "real life matters" trying to literally wreck me like heck outside of these endeavors. I'll spare the details since this still falls under an "internal family network matter"; however, be in prayer for me since the situation that was presented to me since late last month has had me keep tabs on it nearly every day because of it being a "code red situation". I'm fighting tooth and nail to stay focused while making sure to resolve that "code red matter" that was presented to me late last month in a timely fashion; however, this does not mean that the said "adversarial force" from there has been trying to literally mess up my music arrangement groove up in this "final four months period". So if you encounter any slight delays in my getting back to you from any email correspondence that has been received from any online form on this site (including, but not limited to: the main correspondence contact form, the online suggestion forms, etc.), you know the reason why here.

Until next time around, I have to end this here because I have to head out again to deal with some other errands outside of these music operations as a whole. Once again, if you have any further questions after reading this formal monthly greetings blog entry, please don't hesitate to let me know and I'll try my best to get back with you whenever I am able to do so (during the Monday - Friday timeframe, excluding major holidays). See you all later.
