Just about finished up English text in the gloves and gauntlets over at the HW design website in both the bizarre rubber and fashion sections.
Some gloves are missing though - because I know I have them.
But here are some :-)

well my last website update was supposed to happen yesterday (5 Jun)
instead the 2 updates that were supposed to come up the past week ended up getting posted.
this time i'm late with sending in the jun 5 update but then i shouldn't be having THREE frikken updates in a single day.
Especially when those other two updates were supposed to go up Jun 2 and May 29. Hell the May 26 update didn't actually go up until a couple days later.

i have to send my webmaster the last update to do a little later as it will be the last one for the website for the moment.
i've also sent the small changes i want on the site before he stops working on my site.
well, i sent them some time ago, and those changes haven't been made.
i wonder if he's going to get around to fixing any of those typos or changing the banners for my upcoming performances/appearances (and link them correctly).

i'm sick of wondering and checking the site everyday and finding NO changes any of the errors.

I edit the photosets, photoshop the images, watermark the content, write the text/copy, then send it to him in a nice little package to simply post up on the site - even with all my shifting about from place to palace, i try to have each update prepared on time - TWICE a week. 
His other job was to traffic the site. (People that run pay websites don't care about visitors and the number of hits, they care about conversions - those are the people that join the site so that more content can be produced, rent can be paid, latex can be bought, food can be eaten, etc.)
i suppose it was too difficult.

The percentage split ($) remained the same from when he first took over the site a few years ago (he did some of the photoshop work before i decided that i didn't like bright green watermarks going across my forehead in an image. if you want something done right, you gotta do it yourself).

in any case, the new kumimonster.com is going to be a new project for June.
Hopefully it will all be done as soon as possible!
i've got a LOT of editing to do, especially with over 28,000 images in the member's section.
There is a new webguy already n he's working on shit now.

I wonder if he's going to send me my CCBILL account information (as well as my previous verotel account info). I've asked for it already but he doesnt seem to be very forthcoming with the passwords. i did ask about them before, but the ones he sent me never worked.

watching A Short Film About Killing  (Krótki film o zabijaniu)
wonder if i can find the rest of the Decalogue shorts.
nice. tho a bit much for breakfast, but then i've been awake for a little bit...

so i have been going through my entire website preparing galleries to transfer into a new website.
A lot of my older gallery sets are just full of images that i consider to be sub-par or too similar to others so i have wanted them off for some time.
Well it's had some time to build up. Right now on my site i have about 26,000 + images.  ugh! So I have the task of personally cutting down those sets since I'm the only one who can do it the way i want. I also feel that it's someone deceptive (to the paying members) because sometimes those sets contain images that are too similar (i'm talking like 5 in a row). I could just leave it all, but it's really difficult to promote your own site if you don't feel that it's worth promoting. Plus, it's got my name on it.

After I weed out the ones I dont like, i have the wonderful job of photoshoping out any watermarks on the image. For some reason, many of the images just happen to have (www.kumimonster.com) slapped across the face or an obtrusive part of the image. sometimes it's in some garish color. annoying to all hell. So now, sometimes pixel by pixel, i am trying to fix this. i've gone through almost all of one photographer's gallery (Christine Kessler). Since she used to be my webchick I have a LOT of images from her. So far I've done about 3000 images (cut down to about 1000). My eyes hurt.

It is neat to see the work i have done in the past. Though sometimes it's not too fun to think 'wow, i look different' or 'wow, what a flat tummy.  i better start doing sit-ups!' heh. But one this is certain, there's a shitload of work i've done over the years!

damn!

it just took me several hours to edit (weed out the crap images, crop the crap bits, and resize) photos for ONE fucking set.
didn't watermark them yet. nor deal with color correcting.
holy fuck.

what is up with strange people trying to IM you for cyberShit and when you say you're busy they get all upset. I haven't dealt with that in a long time.

At this rate, it'll take me the rest of the week before i go to LA to finish up 2 weeks of fucking updates. This is BULLSHIT. At this rate, I might as well not have a website. Fucking irritating. No time to eat. No time to piss. No time to get other work done or deal with booking shoots.

Dealing with these galleries and getting them prepped to transfer over to the new site is a pain. What's worse is finding all the GLARING errors that i distinctly remember asking my webmaster to change. And no changes were made. Things like pages where gallery titles were the same as the prior weeks' update but was missed due to lack of caring or giving a shit, being rushed.

I will be in Copenhagen in April to finalize the new site with my new webmasters. i get TWO of them and they're super cool to hang out with as well know how to generate sales and market my type of site.

In other work news, I'm running the show for Vex Clothing at the Fetish Evolution event in Essen this April. Laura just got back from a nice week of snowboarding. FUCK. I wish I was with her. The models have already been selected so don't even bother asking.

ok. it's the weekend just about.
my last weekend in athens :(
monday i head for london.
today, more work. need to start preparing all of my galleries and going thru all the images on my site. like 23,000+ of them. i'm going to be editing out all the crap and them setting them up for a new website. i'm going to be working with new webmasters soon and my site is due for an overhaul.

kostas and i have to see about those Swan Lake seats. if there is space, we'll try and go tonite, but i refuse to go and sit in shitty seats. the ones we had last nite were perfect! too bad there was no show.


i'm considering that new show starting in london soon. the one with the harry potter dude. it opens before i leave for the states. but my time is limited and i have shoots on the 17th and 18th. i want to fly out the 19th. though i could fly home on the 20th in time for dinner with [livejournal.com profile] davidtg and [livejournal.com profile] fd_midori for the 21st. we'll see.

so the deadline for 2257 is drawing really close
tomorrow ish in fact


hearing that IDs on file must be U.S. issued so then...
all my european friends on the site must come down.
even if i do have your passport copies.

any information from euro paysites about this?
does this effect your U.S. customers and ability to get/keep them?

of course this does seem to be against intl laws


and of course, the big one buggin me
is the fact that an address must be listed
where one must be for 20 hours a week
if a model decides to travel, then you have to report to the Dept of Justice.
sounds like house arrest.
AND of course, the fact, that you're listing YOUR home address and phone number.
(no PO boxes allowed)

"hello mr crazed stalker. here is my home address and phone number. feel free to stop by anytime you want without my permission."
