| My Wish List & Pre-orders!

| Overseas Otaku Buying Tips
Making online purchases/pre-orders especially for Jpop CDs and anime/game PVC figures have always been the best option for me (and many otakus who do not live in Japan). Listed below are my wish list, preorders and purchases from these reputable online companies. Your purchase via these links supports this site :)

 • YesAsia (Bought my Jpop CD/DVD here)
 • J-list (many 'weird' Japanese stuff)
 • HobbySearch (Comprehensive inventory
     but no free shipping and no shipping cost
     provided upon placing an order )
 • HLJ (very good alternative to HobbySearch)
 • E2046 (many figures & rules in resin kit)
 • Play-Asia (My #1 online shop)

"Read more..." Feature
(Post date: 2009-02-07, Views: 2490)
Quick site update. Shin-Otaku seems to have evolved into a figurine blog with many and large photos displayed in a single entry. Consequently, the time required to load the index page (HOME) is too long (not to mentioned the lack of CSS lol!) and definitely not providing the best user experience. Now that I have implemented the "Read more"...

Rewrite Search Engine Friendly URL
(Post date: 2008-08-22, Views: 2705)
Rewriting Search Engine Friendly URL (SEF URL) had always been a mystery but a simple search string of "Rewrite URL" returns a tool that got the mystery solved almost immediately! As programming is nothing more than a hobby of mine, I didn't venture into the technical details of rewriting a SEF URL. The solution I found was...

After some 20 days of trial of using the current hosting plan, I have decided to move to another plan by a different company. Details shall be provided later. The consequenses would be that there will be some downtime during the transition to allow the domain shin-otaku.com to re-propagate properly. Downtime will be seen in the next few days and the duration may be several days (about 3 days). There shall be no Otaku-related entry until the migration is completed successfully. I apologize for any inconvenience caused to all visitors and especially to fellow loyal readers....
