With the advent of MegaUpload being shut down by our pathetic government, FileServe caved in on their own, same for FileSonic. MediaFire might also go the same route very soon.. So, if you find that the links don't work, let me know and I'll figure out what to do from there. I'm not sure what host I'm going to use right now since most are caving into pressure as of late in regards to our stupid ass government. If anyone has suggestions, let me know and I'll see about uploading there in between some of my work for Exiled-Destiny.
You can leave a comment here, find me on ShadowHime, or email me (if you can find my email anyway =P - yes, I will make people do work) and I'll look at 'em when I get some time.

PIPA and SOPA
Y'all probably know about PIPA and SOPA. What? Some of you don't? Shame on you! Nah, I'm only kidding. Here's a run-down.
PIPA and SOPA are sister bills that were recently put on the back burner until the next US Administration is in full swing next year. But that won't stop companies using illegal means to get websites shut down either way. Department of Justice doesn't need either of the bills to hijack the DNS of websites to put to their own server, which is illegal without a warrant. (since when do they need a warrant... Oh yeah, we have a Constitution for that, but they apparently have never heard of it..) Google, unfortunately, can easily shut this blog down in a pinch soon as they're threatened. But, that won't really stop us getting our favorite manga, now does it?
Now these are what those two bills can do. If either or both pass and is signed into law (which they will, corporate greed and lobbying does that), that would give the Government (US only, for now) the power to hijack any DNS they deem fit, regardless of country of origin, to 'censor' the web of sites they don't like. Now, if any of you know your history lessons, this can't happen. Why? US law doesn't affect outside of US borders. But our Government likes to think otherwise. If they don't get what they want, they will bully other nations to enact similar laws. Its already happened several times. I believe Pirate Bay had to switch countries due to US bullying and influence. I might be somewhat wrong, but that's the gist of it.
What makes them dangerous? The censoring of the internet. China already does this, which is why they've been known as "The Great Firewall of China" for years now. The US is rapidly approaching this as well, and we will become just like China until an underground market for the internet appears. Both bills are very dangerous and could cripple the internet as we know it.
There is large opposition to both of them, but I doubt it'll be enough because MAFIAA, MPAA, RIAA, Microsoft, AT&T, Time Warner, Comcast, etc.. even more companies... They are all supportive of the bills. They want them to pass. Google, Twitter, FaceBook, few more, are opposed to them, but I don't think that will help much as some might think. There are a ton of big-name companies that support them, and only a handful that don't. Boycotting is an idea to show opposition to the companies that do support the bills, but even that won't be enough I believe.
Thought I'd make a post on this for now since its getting a lot of attention lately. I didn't participate in the SOPA Protest myself as I found it completely pointless to black out 1% of the internet for an entire day. Ah well, shit happens I suppose..

Kodomo no Jikan Volume 11
Its that time again. A new volume! Volume 11 ended off on an odd note, and now I'm more curious about what Rin is going to do... Well, 12 might be the last one to come, so we'll have to see. Oh do I so wish I could buy this manga and actually support the author for her work. Makes me sad I can't legally own it right now..
Oh yeah, Link.. y'all need that don't ya? XD

Shoutbox Gone
Alright, who hates spam? You do? Same here, I detest it. So, shoutbox had to go bye-bye. Was getting sick of the endless spam on there, and bans don't really help.
As far as I'm aware, you can comment on Blogger without the need to login. So anyone who does pay attention can still bug me if needed.
Far as KnJ goes, Chapter 78 was recently released, with a break in December. So another one won't be out until January it seems. Volume 11 is coming close to an end, and where the manga goes from there, I'm not entirely sure. The only reason why I have the 18+ activated here is because Kaworu Watashiya has gotten rather explicit about half-way into the manga itself. Not that it bothers me, course not, just that the warning needs to be there due to adult content.
Hope that might clear anything up. Grant it, no one asked me before, but meh.. can never be too cautious, eh?
Oh yeah, I haven't had time to find the tankoubon for the other volumes yet. Torrent may be my only option, but one problem... My ISP is sending kill packets occasionally when I use any torrent program, which kills my modem for a brief moment. So, it'll make downloading crap a lot harder than I'd like it..

Kodomo no Jikan Vol. 10 Tankoubon
I laughed a bit when I saw SaHa released the vol 10 tankoubon. Since just earlier on I posted volumes 5, 8, and 9 here. Oh well, here's the tankoubon for volume 10.

Kodomo no Jikan Vol 5 and 8 Tankoubon
Read back a bit, realized I still had Vol 5 and 8 Tankoubon's I haven't even uploaded. Well, here, made a new post and everything. So up first is Volume 5. Volume 8 will be right below.
~ MediaFire
And here's Volume 8. I think that about covers the Tankoubon. If there's any I missed, let me know. I looked through some of my current stuff, but it seems I already have 'em uploaded or something. But if not, give me a buzz. And no, don't ask me about Volume 10. I'm not sure when SaHa will get those in particular out.

Kodomo no Jikan Vol. 9 Tankoubon and Ch 73-75
Guess its time I make a post. SaHa recently released some extra material to Volume 9, so I uploaded it. I think I was suppose to upload another, right? I'll look and try and get that up soon. On another note, just because, I uploaded another set of chapters, links below.
~ MediaFire
For the chapters, these include 73, 74, and 75. Ch. 76 isn't coming up until near the end of this month, probably around the last week most likely.

Note: You will need 7-zip to extract them. I think WinRAR can extract 7z files, but I'd use 7-zip just in case anyway. Its free software, so why not.
PS: Why is Google so stupid? At first it wouldn't let me do shit in Firefox, now it won't let me do shit in IE. I don't get it... Do y'all? Meh..
Well, if any of y'all want to bitch at me, there's two places. Just know, you need to know a little about IRC, but not too much really.
First: You can go to Rizon's site and use their webchat to join #2kochan. If y'all have a client, connect to irc.rizon.net and /join #2kochan.
Second: Because Rizon is so unpredictable about their net splits, y'all may go to my site and connect to an IRC network I co-own. The Mibbit link there will bring you to one particular channel I help run. You can also use irc.shadowhime.net and /join #Insanity_Refuge.
Either option works. Just say "TwinShadow" to highlight me to get my attention, if I'm around. If I'm not, idle around, or chat with the others there or something. I'll get to 'em eventually.
