Good Fanlisting, Sad Owner

Message: I almost forgot I once registered to this Pita Ten fanlisting: nirima.net/pitaten I cannot make the URL clickable though; the owner has an arrogant, blindminded policy of "checking the fan's site periodically and removing the URL if the fanlisting is not linked properly." As you probably know, the ZWZ Page does not run uninterrupted and I also add such link to the Fav Sites section to prevent clutter and ensure fast load times. So I'm sad to announce that this Pita Ten fanlisting cannot be linked here.

Windows: A can of worms

Message: Now for a stress-relief post: I have spent a few days trying to set up a VPN on the Windows Server 2003 machine. This may seem like a mundane task, but not so according to the Redmond scenario. After reading up that DHCP won't work over VPN (had to assign IPs in the routing service) and neither will IPX/SPX, I finally learnt that to not to cut the internet connection of the client attempting to connect to the server, one has to do a lamer-intensive tweaking on the client side to disable taking over the gateway. Even after disabling all firewalls, the VPN would not ping reliably, ceasing to work after about one minute. I'm stressing out that everything else worked well so far. And now for the worst: I noticed that the subnet mask of the RAS is 255.255.255.255 in ipconfig, which is obviously wrong as it suggests a network of only one member. So I edited the registry to force an IP/subnet mask setting for the virtual adapter. Upon the client connection, the system BSODed! So I had to restore the previous settings.
I also tried to uninstall or update various other net programs I have running, to no avail but more BSODs.
And no, that's not all, as a last-minute hit, the webserver failed with "File is already in use by another process". After examining the log, I finally concluded that ports are actually in use and closed Skype. That was it!
I can't wait to migrate it all to Linux.

Fraud by Multiply.com

Message: A social-networking site reachable on Multiply.com used to be friendly and all when it started. But, as it happens on the internet, it was a money-making plot. Suddenly, you have to pay 19 bucks or your hi-res photos will be deleted in 30 days and counting!
Well, I sort-of expected this, but they are way small to be able to push this scheme, not to mention that they already have ads everywhere on the site. I mean, you could get a straight .com domain complete with webspace for that. What the?!?

FAT32 MP3 Players Bootable!

Message: If you have ever tried to add Windows (in the form of PE) on your Mass-Storage-capable MP3 player, you might have well found out that it does not boot. Even if you made double-sure that the bootsector loads NTLDR and all system files are well-configured, it still froze with a black screen.

Scanner Error in Windows 2003 SP2

Message: I was about to upgrade to Service Pack 2 on my Windows Server 2003 machine. It is a useful and, in long run, necessary step.
First, I tried to run the SP2 installer from within Windows. It complained about the bootlogo changed in ntoskrnl.exe. So I restored the file. But it still complained. I finally discovered that the /kernel= parameter must be removed from boot.ini.
But after the installation, which took ages, the system was very unstable. It crashed on every shutdown. It even started crashing on logon, so I uninstalled the SP and the problem stopped.
To get the SP2 working, I integrated the servicepack into the CD and installed a fresh system. It basically worked, no more blue screens (BSOD).
A few days later, I got to installing the scanner drivers. But the software always reported that it can't find the scanner. Its drivers were installed correctly though.
The problem turned out to be in the new version of usbscan.sys that is supposed to fix the printer-scanner-copier issue known from SP1. So I started the ZWZ PE and replaced the older USBSCAN.SYS as the system32\drivers one.
And hooray - the scanner stopped freezing and it's all set! The type is Hewlett-Packard Scanjet 4670.

Dejiko Amidst Flowers

Message: Here is another wallpaper with Dejiko! This will be the last for some time, I don't have many good scans left. But this one should satisfy you anyway.
It is also the most taxing wallpaper of mine ever, as I spent more than one week making it. I'm getting too busy and numb I guess. Enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it for you.

New security hole, or not?

Message: Wikipedia linked me to Securityfocus, where I found a description of a supposed DoS vulnerability in Firefox. It is dated to October 5th, 2005. And credited, LOL. Check this out, a part of my searching code on search.zwz.myftp.org:
const MyDomain="zwz.myftp.org"
const maxhits=50 ' HERE!
const maxhitsother=200
const maxperline=4
const JSPreview="/obrb.zwz/"
The maxhits constant essentially limits the amount of found entries when in the iframe mode (Thumbnail on click). I have implemented this far back when not even Firefox 1.0 was out and I discovered the error with Netscape 7.2 (same Gecko core) that failed around the count of 75 iframes. Of course I didn't want to trouble my users, so I added this limit.
That was about one year ago. So why is Tom Ferris taking the credits for this? Because he bothered to mail that always 2nd Securityfocus site?

You decide!

Message: The default light-blue style for the ZWZ Page may not suit you anymore. I'm giving you the chance to choose what style should become the default style presented to new visitors.

Try all the styles prior to voting. Click the Styles menu item to the left and try each style. Please note that Internet Explorer may have difficulties displaying some of them. The Green one is not directly recommended, try GreenL instead.
This poll is obsolete, plus someone deliberately voted for the Dark skin repeatedly to forge it. Green chosen, poll no longer relevant.

Message: I have coded a feature that will show you small thumbnails next to the medium view you are currently at. You won't miss the pics of your favorite style anymore!
Please note that it's manually edited, so the scope is only my own wallpapers. They are hosted externally.

1010127 Lightyears Away...

Message: The famous Rabi-en-Rose's dice. The creative plush hairdress accessory. Rabi, whose real name is actually Usada Hikaru, is sometimes mischievous, but she has a soft side too. In this particular work, she is on the surprising DiGi Charat planet, which is also Dejiko's home, at night. The ultimate spectacular universe kept life-safe by very advanced yet subtle DiGi Charat technology offers an exquisite pleasure to the eye. And now, you, the visitor of the ZWZ Page, have a nice opportunity to enjoy the sight as well. Click on the dice to load a preview with Rabi~en~Rose to your computer to set it as your wallpaper. (As a side note, the corresponding PSD file has 83 MB despite the resolution.)
E

A seasonal wallpaper

Message: I did several wallpapers of DiGi Charat before, but this one challenges the renown "autumn" style. The grass is real, albeit shopped. The trees are done in an old benchmark for VGA. The clouds are taken from a photo, but that photo looks entirely different, of course.
As for the scan of Dejiko, it didn't include the waist, so I had to take one from another scan of Dejiko and align it.
The wallpaper matches the current season in this country. That's why she looks slightly cold. Remember that I try to include some meaning into the wallpaper.
The PSD has 33 MB and the work was split over two days. The extraction was a routine; worse was the choice and creation of the background. I finally gave it the autumn look as intended.

Gallery sorting changed

Message: I have decided to change the approach to the displaying of the static gallery entries. Previously, they were sorted alphabetically as the recursive algorithm indexed them in the directories. But now, they are sorted by their acquiration date and time, so that you will see the newest ones on the beginning. This will also enrich your experience with the ZWZ Gallery, because you will be able to get the new ones instantly.

The origin of "ZWZ"

Message: Although some people may think that it was named by Związek Walki Zbrojnej, it's not so. It's an abbreviation of "Zdeněk WareZ". Although this site stopped offering warez a long time ago, the abbreviation remained. It's easy to remember, makes nice logos and doesn't often collide with other words. The only collisions are the former Polish army and some Chinese manufacturer of bearings. I'm not affiliated with any of those and it's just what I've written here.
Just for the record: I have never boosted any real kind of war or fight, except for purely fictional computer gaming.

A note for my users: If you want a full image from Minitokyo without having the required points there, visit the FuzzySearch Help feature in the menu to the left. Also please note how my site is the only one, where their link still works! The ZWZ Page is still the most able when it comes to preserving full wallpapers for free. Even if they ridicule this site, they can never achieve this kind of reliability (no deletions), longevity and free access.
Neither can they beat my number of free styles (skins) for the site. They have only 1 optional skin and it's only available to very active members. Click on the Styles menu and choose your favorite color. Preferences are saved into cookies, no registration required.

Searching Scripts Overhauled!

Message: I have added some really neat improvements in the ZWZ Gallery Search. Now you will see up to 10 times of a speed boost over the previous version. Plus, the Firefox users will see a nice progress animation to know that they actually pressed the Search button. That feature had to be disabled server-side for Internet Explorer because of its faulty implementation of the SetTimer method in JavaScript, which entirely resets the Meta Refresh counter when applied.
P.S.: Check out my new wallpaper with Elwyn!

Bandwidth Is Limited

Message: There are a few leechers out there, who effectively disable the rest of you from browsing the ZWZ Page. To fight that, I have added per-user bandwidth limiting. You have

50 MB.

After that, even when the transfer was initiated and not finished, you will be cut off for the rest of the day. So please click wisely. It now applies just to the hardware-intensive part such as the gallery, but you'd better be cautious! It however doesn't apply to the zdenek.szm.sk mirror, so go there if you hit the bottom.

FuzzyHash Implemented!

New: And what does it mean for you?
Much!
Have you ever thought, I have seen this picture so many times, but who's the author?
Or: It's in such a low resolution! They must have it in a bigger one somewhere!
But alas! Where is the name!? 11002192364 - nooooo!
BUT - here's one BUT, and it's called the ZWZ Page! Right, I have come up with a working solution of this problem! I hear you say, "I'm not gonna browse your endless gallery!" - but that's not the way, fortunately enough.
This algorithm will get your specimen image and it will find 20 closest matches in the database. The process lasts 15 seconds, not counting the upload. To speed it up, it's recommended to shrink it to 100×100 px JPEG, but it will accept any BMP (TrueColor), JPEG, PNG and even TIFF. (Not GIF, sorry.) Then you'll see the results, each clickable for the full version.
As you can see, even a thumbnail saved from a restricted page can be used for successful searching. But there's more! The algorithm will even work with rough scans. You can grab your anime printout, scan it and FIND its original digital version.
Will you go for it?

Some small improvements

Message:
  • Counter style corrected.
    • The number under the menu shows the number of visitors of this site. It was previously the same for all of the styles and looked odd. Now it changes with every style applied! :)
  • New style added!
    • It's called Sand. Try it! You can switch between styles by clicking on the 'Change Style' line under the menu and then on the style name.

    New Fixed Links

    Message: The entrance to this site is now done through scripting, which slows down the first page showing, but adds several enjoyable features:
  • Simple subdomain adding
  • Custom subframe
  • Much shorter link to the japanese version
  • Multiple virtual servers hosting made trivial!
    • Like for example:
    zwz.cz/g - direct showing of the Gallery frame
    zwz.cz?media - direct showing of the Media section
    jp.zwz.myftp.org - translates to Japanese!
    www.zwz.cz - Finally working! It didn't before.
    nevada.zwz.myftp.org - A collection of photos, doujinshi drawings and hentai drawings of the most scandalous child in Nippon, who proves that the BR concept isn't so far from reality!!

    New Gallery

    Message: UPDATE: A new search function in the gallery!
    Now this is a matchless act on the field of a single-person webhosting. Not only for its size, but also for the daring of the whole action!
    But to get to the point: As everyone I've been collecting many pictures from all over the web for several years. And to fulfill the motto of this site—to give everything to all—I've coded an offline generator and made a high-quality gallery. It's divided into sections according to censorship, so you won't see anything hardcore if you don't want to ^_^ . But remember: I'm technically an amateur and you are in the role of beta-testers. If you find a picture that's too offensive for a particular category, mail me immediately!

    Rating

    Message: Since the content of this site got quite wild recently, I have decided to employ a rating system. In the left corner of every article, there will be a small icon similar to the ESRB rating. Please study these icons thorougly to avoid seeing any disturbing content.
    E Everyone. There is nothing wrong with this item.
    T Teen. Children older than 12 years will be okay with this. May contain words like "damn".
    Y Young adult. From 15 years. It may contain blood, but not connected with people's deaths or injuries. I won't add any brutally murdered animals here either.
    M Mature, the limit is 17 years. Here you can expect bare breasts and murders on the mainstream-movies level.
    I Ecchi. Similar to the M, but containing drawn art rather than photos and coarse language. Possible nakedness cleverly hidden with furniture/thrown underwear/...you decide.
    A Adult. Don't be surprised to find any awful things like on P0rn.com...no, jk.
    H Hentai. The same as above, plus random barely legal "art" from the country of the rising sun.
    Browse safely with ZWZ!

    The Shocking Disclosure
