Meanwhile, I'll be away for the first two weeks of December, so no updates for that period; check out the forums for any latest news.

Also, today's articles (those that say 'Added 8/10/09', which as of now are all four of them) up there are good. Read them. The one entitled 'Interview' is not a Keanu interview but an interview with Chris Nickson, who wrote a Keanu biography. He sounds awesome. I'd like to talk with him.

Articles archive - You can now do searches by author, by source or by country.

So yeah... that's about it for now. I'll get the rest of the stuff done tomorrow. Or today, technically.

In the meantime, here's the Shadow 19 script and the 47 Ronin script. Haven't read the latter, but Shadow 19 is awesome. Writer is Jon Spaihts, who worked with Keanu on the Passengers script, which is still one of the best scripts I've ever read. Go read.

Meanwhile, new entry on the WINM blog, in response to a fish. Plus some earlier additions to the Wall of Shame, and a Kenneth Branagh quote on Keanu's acting.

Added magazine scans - 'The Wait is Almost Over!' and The Matrix Returns'.

Added scans: 'Coach' Keanu plays Hardball and What next - Keanu U?.

I'll be taking a short break from articles uploading to catch up with my academic work, and after that I'll tackle the Reeves Drive cache and anything that inkhuldra sends me.

See the trailer. It is awesome.

Regarding the articles that make it to the front page of this site (3 news, 4 archive) - I usually try to put the more interesting ones up in times when there are a lot of new uploads, but on slower days they're just the more recent ones. Of today's lot, 'Cyber Keanu' and 'In Defense of Zion' are excellent articles. The former is a new French interview from 1999 with a lot of stuff that's not in the others, and the other is a very nice take on Revolutions by Bernard White, who played Rama Kandra in the film. Read them.

In other news, a whole lot of new Keanu & River pics have been added to this 1991 interview, and one scan to this short 1989 article, thanks to the Keanuvision archives.

Mr. Reeves, if you're reading this, welcome to the Internet. It's awesome. Like you. But with search engines and clickable buttons and lolcats. Also, the masses have spoken and indicated their longing for a musical version either of Constantine or The Lake House. I trust that you will make the appropriate arrangements. Happy birthday. I am sorry to announce that the cake is a lie, but since there is no spoon, perhaps it's for the better.

Today also marks a full year since WINM shifted onto its own domain a few minutes after midnight on 2nd September 2008, making this the first anniversary of whoaisnotme.net, though WINM's actual anniversary is January 11. This time last year I was sitting on my bed in my on-campus dorm with my laptop balanced precariously on the too-small portable nightstand, because the room's only light was above the bed. Weird Al Yankovic's "Hardware Store" - a song I shall always associate with WINM for this reason - was blasting away, and finally I finished the shift over from freewebtown.com and panicked at the bugs and searched frantically for solutions and and fixed the bugs and went to sleep happy and woke up slightly less happy in the morning to go for class.

To everyone who has been supporting this site or the Keanu SWAT Team in some way, you all rock. Continue being excellent, to each other or otherwise, and party on, dudes. *air guitar*

New banners were created accordingly. The original 2007-2008 banner was scrapped completely because I discovered that the photo it used was taken in 2005, and I'm anal about things like that. Replaced it with a 2008 magazine scan after I'd Photoshopped it around a bit. Photoshop is fun.

Meanwhile, the Database of Fish has been updated with new entries.

More details here: http://www.whoaisnotme.net/forums/view.php?threadid=1.

Meanwhile I've been working on a customised forum so I can basically move the whole thing to the main site; that should be up in a few weeks or so, depending on my university workload.

My second year of university is starting next week, so this site will either see heightened or lowered activity from me, depending on how much work I have and how much I need this place to escape.

New entry on the Wall of Shame, and FutureFix.Net has meanwhile found a free host and shifted to its own domain off this site.

That aside, the WINM articles archive just passed the 2,000 mark today. \o/

And another new poll recently up.

In the meantime, Internet Explorer 7 has been occasionally wrecking havoc with the main page of this site, but so far hitting refresh seems to work most of the time. Either way, I'm on it. Apparently it's a known bug in IE7 and is called the float bug. Alternatively you could use Firefox. Firefox is good.

If you're not using IE and are still experiencing site layout screwups, e-mail me at admin(at)whoaisnotme.net. Thanks.

Updated Site History. It's almost been a year since WINM went on its own domain...

New poll. And this is the first time I wish Keanu had done Speed 2. That way it can be a hexalogy! :D

Video is in 7 parts.

Fixed major formatting errors in Firefox. Added list of members.

Updated character database entry for Nelson Moss. Minor updates to links and FAQ. Edited Polls page for easier reading.

1. Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure
2. Speed
3. Much Ado About Nothing
4. Hamlet (focus)
5. Hamlet
6. The Tempest
7. Lives and Deaths of Jennifer and Ava (focus)
8. Lives and Deaths of Jennifer and Ava
9. Speed (focus)
10. The Curious Case of the Barrie Woman and her Fully Grown Children (focus)
11. Creepy Foreshadowing
12. River's Edge
13. LOLWUT
14. Cowboy Bebop (focus)
15. On the Pap with the Badly Grazed Knee

Stats are fun.

Once again, if there are any bugs in the system, please let me know. Thanks!

We are not a satire. This is explained nicely in our FAQ. All of us here are genuine Keanu fans. It is disheartening to see how any opposing view is assumed automatically to be a joke.

And as for Winston Churchill: spin on, old man. Spin on.

Added long quote from non_heinous to In Defence.

New poll.

Meanwhile the guestbook has appeared to have been flooded with over 300 entries of spam. This sucks, especially since the freewebtown control panel won't let me delete entires en masse. I have to go through each one individually and delete them, and most likely I'll just create a new guestbook and captcha protect that.

In the meantime, if you're interested in links entitled such tantalising subjects as "PREGNANT SEX" or "miley cyrus nude" or "lindsay lohan porn" or "jennifer aniston in a bikini", the guestbook is still there, so be my guest.

Viewing the result has once again spurred me on to getting this site on a fixed-width layout, because I realise that it is kind of hard to read words stretched out too wide on the screen.

Also did minor updates to the character database some time ago - replaced some of the last-resort pictures I had to use when my Internet was down; added content to entries for John Constantine, Shane Falco and Tom Ludlow.

Lastly, bunch of additions to the WINM propaganda page.

Some articles have proven to be buggy due to weird formatting; as such, if along the way you come across an article that can't be added to favourites, send me an e-mail with the error message. Thanks!

Also a minor correction regarding the authorship of Passengers (thanks LucaM) - it's not known if Stephen Hamel had any part in the writing. Officially, the script was written by Jon Spaihts; Keanu apparently had a hand in the story, but that's about it so far.

See that new thing on the top right hand corner of the page? Yeah. Um. Technically this should work, because the tests went fine, but I still have the feeling that something would probably go wrong somewhere, so...

But there's only one way to find out. So. Register. Find an article. Try posting a comment. See what happens, and if everything goes fine, then that would be most triumphant and I can go on to work on improving the system.

Currently you can't edit or delete your comments, so just keep that in mind. And yeah... go have fun. :)

And along the way if you come across any glitch in the Matrix system - error messages where there shouldn't be, strange formatting, and so on - just let me know and I'll go fix it. Thanks in advance!

In the meantime, I've been working on a users system for WINM so that you can log in and leave signed comments and stuff. I'm still fixing bugs in the change password script, and so anything more substantial would probably take a while to come, but yeah... I'm hoping to get that up hopefully in a month's time or less so that you can leave comments for articles and (later) movie reviews, and this site will be less dead.

Eventually I plan to integrate the entire site - main site, polls, guestbook, forums etc into one place instead of the current system where things are hosted all over the Internet.

1. An xkcd comic in honour of The Matrix's 10th anniversary; and

2. "Battle of the Keanu Messiahs". (thanks, ckage.) ...I say Neo wins.

Admittedly I did not see him in the lead role, but I can live with that. The film's getting made. That's all that matters at the moment. Better still if he does this before Cowboy Bebop and the other less interesting films he has lined up. My ideal line-up would be Passengers followed by Chef followed by everything else.

For those of you who would like to read the script, it's available here. Story by Keanu Reeves and Stephen Hamel, script by Jon Spaihts.

Meanwhile regarding the current WINM poll, it turns out that someone doesn't want tea. :(

The Keanu Movies Database is meanwhile about 1/5 complete after I decided to do some work on it today after a very long time of procrastinating.

2. I mildly revamped the articles archive. Namely, shiny new banner things. If you are nostalgic for the old ones, they are available under the link in the right-hand menu that says "Old Graphics".

3. This revamp also included splitting the archive into ten rather than the previous eight sections, for easier loading and less scrolling.

4. There is no fourth point.

Added scanned newspaper clipping to this article.

Meanwhile, the National University of Singapore - at which I study and through which I am allocated work that prevents me from spending all my time on this site - is giving a free screening of The Day the Earth Stood Still remake in LT27 (science faculty) on the 28th of March, 9:10 pm during Earth Hour. I don't know if it's open to the public, but you could always try to sneak in. Don't tell them I told you.

Anyway. Some of those recently-uploaded articles are kind of fascinating - this one about how Keanu refused to dye his hair blond for Constantine and thought that the blond wigs he tried on made him look "absolutely stupid". He probably did, though he was, however, blond as a kid. That article on I Love You to Death mentions how Keanu wanted desperately to buy over the bar featured in the film; and this one features a fan, Julie Piotrowski, who has earned about US$8,000 selling Keanu memorabilia on eBay. She is, apparently, still alive and on Facebook, and I'd like to contact her to tell her how awesome she is (and ask if I can have free stuff), but I can't find her e-mail address. :(

Lastly, new poll.

The site currently looks best in Internet Explorer, though differences are minimal - it's mostly just this annoying line that I can't get rid off in Firefox no matter what I do. If you don't know which annoying line I mean, good for you!

There may be a bunch of broken links or weird formatting still lying around the site because I haven't really had the chance to go through it yet, but they should be fixed in time once I locate them.

There'll be more things coming up in future for this site - mainly the Keanu Movies Database, which is turning out to be more work than I thought it would be. In the meantime my homework is calling because I spent a whole day on this revamp.

Removed the 18th May 2007 SWAT archive upon request - if any more of you with material on this site wish to be removed, just drop me an e-mail at admin(at)whoaisnotme.net and let me know.

I usually check the site's error log once a day, so if you come across any broken links on the site, they should be fixed by the next day and you can try again.

Lastly, new poll. Regarding the previous poll - to whoever selected that option, are you really from Antartica?

New poll.

That's when I decided that this method was too hard. I'm now taking it from the start, article by article rather than film by film, and picking up ones I missed along the way.

Enjoy 2009.
