making plans to update and upgrade the website

have some other higher priority things I need to take care of first(cleaning apartment, work, etc)

I have a lot more time now that I'm done with community service so I want to spend that time cleaning and upgrading the website

when I can set some time I have a small list of things I want to accomplish

adding more content to jobs pages

removing majority of posts not ffxi related

adding more value to posts that do get kept

buying a domain for upbeatffxi.blogspot.com (nothing to see here)

getting ads on upbe4t.com

definitely still planning on upgrading and updating all my ff11 programs and apps not being subbed really makes it hard to develop for programs since I can't test any of it

haven't really been feeling creative as far as programming goes so just going to leave that alone until I actually want to develop

I occasionally search to see what other developers are making as far as ff11 goes and most is stuff I either don't care much to write or already have wrote or is so well developed I don't think I could write something similar and on top of that most ff11 apps or programs are like 10+ years old and there's almost no dedicated websites for ff11 development in 2025 I have one discord that focuses on ff11 development and almost no one posts in it maybe once every 3 or 4+ months

I want to write a guide to use eliteapi.dll even knowing almost no one will use it and there's really not much you can do with it

was a fun challenge for me to learn to write with it

we've tried many things on the website to see what works and what doesn't work

I was honestly surprised I hosted my minecraft server for years and never got a single visitor

music on the site doesn't work well

pokemon go doesn't work well

logan and willow pages do decent but that's not ff11 related so it's going out on a limb to add that

cooking recipes didn't do well

youtube and twitch video streams was pretty cool but I don't stream anymore

with 11 years of experience hosting this website

strictly ff11 content does the best

which for a 23 year old video game there is not a lot I can think of to actually post

the game is slowing down the content is very limited

and it all comes down to wanting to get better wanting to improve wanting to get the most out of your time not wanting feel like you're at a job or wasting time

where usually doing nothing and being bored is better than working too hard and feeling like you're at a job or wasting time

if I do pirates chart 50 times and get 1 mkris or if I go chocobo digging for month and end up making only 10m or if I craft +1s and it takes 4 months to sell 3 pieces of gear

no one does ballista which would be very good to post ballista gets a lot of audience retainment but no one does it lol 

I'm thinking about making a thread on ffxiah to post the website and ask for website upgrade advice

I really enjoy my time doing nothing just scrolling on youtube maybe watching 1 video every 10 pages of scrolling then looking at something on my phone

it isn't productive but it's about my favorite thing to do during this section of life

eventually I do something actually productive but it takes a lot of doing nothing to finally get there lol
