That Halloween Update

Yooooooooooooooooooo, are you guessing what I’m about to talk?! Yes? Yes! WE’ve change the fucking server ONE more mothafucking time, I can’t even count that much to tell you how many times we did this. But this time’s different we’ve decided to leave that bitch called Italy and move to that slut called America. Yep, fuck Italy and fuck their ultra-expensive servers and VERY poor service quality.

Quickly describing what we’ve been thru

- We had no root access to old server, so we had to move files with FTP… But with that amount of data photos and shit it was pretty hard to download everything and then upload it again. So I’ve found (thank you god) FXP which is a fucking portocol, I guess, using a fucking crack in the ftp portocol that allows to open a tunnel (your computer) between the 2 servers and make em transfer stuff without having to down and up load it.. Well 6 days to move the whole site. but now it’s online

T’sall. Can’t complain. Planning to fap sometime soon.
===========
Some Numbers: in 6 days we’ve moved:
61 millions (611993) files. 53 millions (535308) were images.

2 days Before september | Updates

Hello fellows!

Here me go again with updates. This time I’ve 4 GROUND BREAKING, ASS SHAKING, EARTH QUAKING updates to showcase and explain to yall.
Are you ARE READY?!!?!? 1! 2! 3! JUMP! JUMP! JUMP!

The story you’re about the hear developed in 3 hours, because I love you, I’m gonna leave useless details a part.

1) Lightbox on gallery
2) Top Menu
3) Navigation search/archive pages
4) ShockBlast x tumblr recode redesign

-

First

The old lightbox for the galleries was removed!
Why? Because it injected around 6 files on EVERY PAGE even on homepage (even on homepage? Are you serious? Yes! You heard me aight). So, I decided to fucking create a new “lightbox” but it aint really a lightbox, it’s CSS3 based with a little bit of jQuery, it’s mainly CSS3, TRUST ME. I know you want action: Here’s in action - click on thumbnails to see what I did there ;)

-

Second

Can I have the menu, please?! Yes! Menu was changed too, that flippy upsidedown thing under the logo was changed. Why? Because when NYX was first created we had in mind to create a menu which helps people navigate thru the site, the old menu failed so was change with Fernando (Nice name for a menu, huh?) I hope Fernando will do better. As above the menu is complete CSS3 no images, no jQuery nothing. only CSS3 & htmls.
IN ACTION
-

3rd

Buttons on Archive & Search Page - basically the 2 buttons you use to move from page F to page UCK YOU. Previosly we had 2 blue buttons, I don’t even know if we could call them buttons. well there are GONE TOO! DEADD. Guess what was used to accomplish that 3D effect? You daamn right! CSS3 and nothing else. IN ACTION scroll to the ground you will see it.
-

4th

LAST BUT NOT LEAST.

Major Recoding and some design elements redisgn of shockblast x tumblr.
- Code was revisited cleaned and recoded.
- sidebar completely redisigned added a 3D Menu (CSS3 Only)
- fixed and redisgned how posts appear
- added other stuff here and there.

So hope you’ll enjoy these new stuff. If you don’t who gives a shit? I got that Zuckerberg attitude, if you know what I mean…

and as always if any errors, fuck em! I never check twice what I write.

1) Tomorrow (write it down this is important) guess what? We going to change server ONE MORE time, yeah the company we was till today decided to make money quick and sell themselfs to others, and this scumbags want us to change servers. Fingercross all goes aight

2) This was one of those nights… I call ‘em “Music, Porn, Code till morning” nights, where I listen to good music, roll dice and write code till the sun comes out. Tonight I implemented tumblr to bottom of every page. Whats that? Now you can see the last 10 posts from our TUMBLR and from You! - Your Voice that’s it. Total is 20.

3) We are over 3k followers on TUMBLR. On facebook it’s 8k608. Twitter 1k308.

Quick Update | 15 July 12

Hello!

I writing you this post 4 people before 8.000 Likes on Facebook.

I know it was been a while, but there was nothing to say or add in the past 1-2 months. Today I’m writing, because after a really long period we finally decided to totally clear our “TODO LIST” and here’s the things we had to do and we kept in delay.

1) The first one was; Implement our short domain ( l.shck.it ) into every post and get it to work with the Twitter button you find at the end of every post in the Share Bar.

After 4 hours of coding and killing fucking Mosquitos we get this shit to work, so NOW when you share a link on TWITTER you’ll no more lose precious characters, thanks to the short url.

But that’s not all, before the last ADS at end of the page there’s a little box with the SHORT LINK you can easily copy and past wherever you want, give it a try.

/!\ Some posts MAY NOT have the short links yet, the system is creating them in this moment. /!\

2) Many of you (Pinterest addicts) write us that the share stuff of the pinterest button, you find in the share bar at post end wasn’t working and because of the disable right click on the mouse was not possible to pin our content to the board even with the browser’s addon. So we fixed that shit.
NOW YOU CAN PIN PICS ON PINTEREST.

See you next time

March update so far

Waddup fellaaaaaaaZ? Wass crackin? What’s going on? Here we go again with another update! Are you happy?

Yesterday we change for the 1000000000 time server, this time (knock on wood) without problems, thank god.
The server is like the previous one. There was no downtime thanks to Cloudflare and because we got their nameservers on. Plus we got the 2 servers up and running at the same time so nobody noticed nuttin. :)

Few seconds ago I finally finished the old-new share bar at the end of posts.
this is how it looks like;

This month we hit 1000 Followers on Twitter & we’re very proud of this.

KNOWN ISSUES
CloudFlare vs. Facebook vs. ShockBlast:
- Images wont show up if a link from ShockBlast is shared on Facebook.
what we know about this problem? We know that if we don’t use CloudFlare there’s no problem. But we use CloudFlare so there’s a problem. We also know that maybe Facebook will never fix this shit. Waiting & Hoping

What happened? the database crash

February 4: Server went down for a couple of minutes, when it get back… the Database was fucked up… In few words the whole database any entry was full of \ and other symbols. So no posts was visible.

Why it took so long to restore a backup?
Because we had to talk with the Hosting and they was kinda slow to figure out what to do + the the backup they had was after the crash and the one we had was corupted…

How you fix this shit?
Downloaded the backup, de-tar.gz it :D after we drop the old database and uploaded the new one.

And what about the old posts?
Well we had to re-post them by hand, because the xml was fucked up too… 2 days of readding old posts.

And now?
We’re ok at the moment just finished with the posts, now we’re going to make backups every single day, maybe a cronjob will help us in case we forget to make one.

Evil Share Bottom Bar

Last night we was checking the load time + different other stuff about the speed of ShockBlast and we noticed that there was a file injected from a different domain. So we decided to investigate what was that file, and found that the file was injected by a plugin called “SexyBookmarks” wich we used at the end of the posts to make you share stuff around the web.

What was that? In few words it was a file that track via GIFs (Web Bacons) the visitors and then send the data to AD & Tracking networks, later this data will be used to spam your email or send you ads in other places. [Read the e-mail we sent to Wordpress]

We deactivated and deleted the plugin after we noticed this issue. At the moment we have that fucking ugly buttons that don’t match a shit, but I’m working on a cleaner thing, It will be online in few days? weeks? dunno, feel lazy in these days.

================================================================================

Problems over Problems

Yesterday: we had some problems with the DataBase, unfortunately isnt the first time that this kind of problem affects the website. The hosting was informed and they tell us that they will take a look, (no more updates from the the hosting) the site is ok at the moment, but I know that they aint fixed a shit and I’m waiting this error to show again in the next days!

Today: An European network provider/network backbone seems to have failed at around 4 AM (Pacific Time). In addition, CloudFlare was performing maintenance overnight, and some sites using CloudFlare may be unavailable, OF COURSE ShockBlast is one of these websites, plus the whole CloudFlare DNS network is under a DDoS attack and everything is slow as SHIT.

ShockBlast Nyx now Live + server

LOL We’re so happy to announce you that the new version of ShockBlast called NYX is now Live! We’re in a BETA week, gonna fix a lot of problems already know that. What’s up with new version? - Well basically we get rid of the static homepage and designed from scratch a new one with a very nice jQuery animation where the thumbnails fall down from top + it’s full screen :)

- For the other pages we didn’t change a lot, we just added and removed some stuff. Change the header (logo + menu) removed the comments… 1 year and 5 months only 500 comments and 15,000 spam…… :D yeah!!!! 15k! So if you wanna comment go to facebook or @shockblastnet on twitter! Added a new cool search. Added a navigation bar at the BOTTOM yeah for other stuff visit the site :D Used some new html5 and CSS3 code and its cool to work with them… the painful part of this project was the css sprites coded and made by hand because none of the services made what we needed… between 25 and 30 of december we change server once again… so now we’re on new server, I think it’s the same shit like the others… hope I’m wrong and hope this was the last time we change servers…

Today we want to present you our new service.
We noticed that most of you see only new posts and will never see posts which was published months ago, although the quality of these material not worse than quality of current posts. So we decided to create this new place where you can find always new and inspirational stuff.

It took us 22 hours to code this page. Learned a lot of stuff coding it, had some problems to understand some things and had problems with the random thing in php but at the end it works fine. Thanks to jQuery and some of his plugins. Last problem solved was the cache, in some browsers even after reloaded the images stayed the same.

Unbelivable but true solved with 2 simple HTML meta tags:

<meta http-equiv=”CACHE-CONTROL” content=”NO-CACHE” />
<meta http-equiv=”PRAGMA” content=”NO-CACHE” />

yeah STREAM works on iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch too.

Hope you enjoy using it as We enjoyed creating it.

Flood you with inspiration.

update: server changed. -15 to first bday.

As maybe you noticed we changed server once again… The old one that was supposed to be MEGA-HYPER-SUPER fast/strong with an 10000% uptime, crashed more time than a windows 95, so we had to change it.

This change was painful for us, because we had to move it by ourself, their was a lot of problems of all kinds. But here we are up and running again.

There’s few more things we have to fix yet, like the mail that doesn’t work, but we’re working on it. So if you send emails to us please send them to our Gmail mail.

We just renewed the domain for another year, so shockblast (WE HOPE) will be up for the next year.

-15 days to ShockBlast’s first birthday, we’re working for something special…

ShockBlast is going down tonight!

ShockBlast must be moved on a new server due to the high traffic we’re reaching in the last month. The new server will be much faster and secure. We are moving to prevent future attacks like the last month’s and unwanted downtimes. Too much traffic, had the situation hot :D

Sorry! We’ll be back up COOLER THAN EVER!
