I don’t know, when exactly my page was the first time online, it was 2003, that’s for sure, but the month, or the day… nobody will know that.

Well, I really don’t care about such things, fact, this page is old. 2003… that’s a few years ago. And a lots of stuff happened in that time…

Hm, maybe, there was not so much, but there was something… I hope.

before the beginning

Date unknown, maybe 2000
Before the site was online, I designed another homepage, with Microsoft Publisher. A site, about a Story I got in my head.
It was like a fan fiction page. Chapters, written, with a few drawings. But in that time, don’t know, how I become the site from my pc in the world wide web and so this project died.

The real beginning

Date 2004
I started again to create a website again, with Micosoft Publisher, and this time, I got the site, in the world wide web. This all happened in a evening, my parents went to to eat out, i stay at home and load the site up – and create the first domain: www.mia-asai.de.vu
There was not much stuff online, some things about myself, some arts, my manga-stories and a Japan and China section. I want to inform about this countries and I wrote some things, but never much. And I make a own Final Fantasy Page, there was more, but I never was so good, like the real Final Fantasy pages.
After a few unspecial designs, I create the first with a picture from me. And then, I started to read things about html. The MS Publisher program was awful. The things don’t look like that, what I want, and so I started to work with html. I learned a few things, and – after another layout – I create the first own design. Just html. And Just about my and my arts. I kick the Final Fantasy, Japan and China part out. I don’t wrote much for this areas, so I make a pure art-page.

Own Space, own Name, own Network

Date 2005
To get good freewebspace, there is normally no way. Every free thing got advertisements ore other awful stuff, that blocked your page. So I buy my first own webspace and domain: www.mia-asai.de. I got this domain very long, until Summer 2008, in fact.
After a few years, I got a special chat with a friend. Yui – she want to buy a board-software. I say, I would to help buying. So, we could change the name of the board to a Couple of her an my page. She want a Japanese name, so I got to rename my page, then “mia-asai.de” isn’t a god part, for a board name.
So I started to search, Japanese, English or German translations, in the end I got a name: WhitePassion – in Japanese Shiroi Jonetsu. This stands for the passion, to draw on white paper and make pictures and stories on it. So I saved the Domain whitepassion.de for me.
After I got the name, the board was also born: shiroi-kaze, a compilation from WhitePassion (alias Shiroi Jonetsu) and Maho Kaze.

Vanished?

Date October 2007 / March 2008
The board lives quiet long, but in October 2007, the database crashed. And the board died. My fiend, Yui, who was also an Admin, was also vanished from the digital world. And on her space she got the database, so I can't do anything.
After a few month of asking old member, I reanimated the board on my space. But then comes new problems… My space got down. Just a few minutes, but very often. I asked my hoster, what’s up, but I don’t get a answer from them which helped me, or stopped the downs from my server. So I got a new plan – a new domain, only for the board. The name: shiroi-kaze.de
So, the board got on a new server, and I switch my “private” domain whitepassion.de also to the new hoster. In fact, there much cheapter than the old one, and there answer you, if you got a question.
Consequence of this move is, that my old domain: mia-asai.de will deleted in Summer 2008. But, in fact, I don’t use this domain, so why should I keep it, everyone knows me since years unter the Domain “WHITEpassion”!
