'''''Arashi No Yoru Ni''''' (あらしのよるに?, lit. English: '''''One Stormy Night''''', Italian: '''''Amicinemici'''''), is an animated movie that tells the story of the friendship between a [[goat]] ('''Mei'''), and a [[wolf]] ('''Gabu'''). It is 110 minutes long.

The movie is in [[Wikipedia:Japanese|Japanese]] and there are apparently no official translations. Ayu completed an English [[Wikipedia:fansub|fansub]]. An unofficial English redub of the movie is available on YouTube [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kktRCGLBU3I (Link)].

== Characters ==
[[Image:ArashiNoYoruNi-Gabu-hugs-Mei-in-shelter.jpg|right|200px|Gabu hugs Mei]]
=== The Goat Clan ===

* '''Mei''' - Mei is the central goat character of the movie, who befriends Gabu the wolf.
* '''Tapu''' - Tapu is the slightly older brother of Mei. He is somewhat of a braggart but also a coward.
* '''Mii''' - Mii is a young [[female]] goat who is also a friend of Mei.
* '''Grandmother''' - Mei's Grandmother raised him after his mother was killed by wolves when he was only a young kid.
* The Goat Elder - The Goat Elder is the leader of the goat clan. Old, decrepit, and green with age, he suffers from a persistent cough and is carried everywhere by the rest of the herd.

=== The Wolf Pack ===

* '''Gabu''' - Gabu is the central wolf character of the movie, who befriends Mei the goat.
* '''Giro''' - Giro is the [[Alpha wolf]] of the pack. He hates goats with a passion after having lost his left ear and had his left eye damaged by one.
* '''Barry''' - Barry is the [[Beta wolf]] of the pack. He is the best tracker wolf of the pack, and sports red mohawk fur along his spine.
* '''Zack''' - Zack is the smallest and most hyperactive wolf of the pack, who is often in the company of Beach.
* '''Beach''' - Beach is one of the larger wolves of the pack who has a missing right eye and wears a patch over it as a result.

== Television cut ==

The movie appears to be cut for TV. Every few scenes, the picture is faded to black, as if for a commercial break. However, later on in the movie, the breaks come at varying locations, indicting that it is not a commercial break point, but an overly long transition.{{fact}}

== Names ==

* Mei is a Japanese [[Wikipedia:Onomatopoeia|onomatopoeia]] for [[bleating]] as of goats or sheep
* Gabu is a Japanese onomatopoeia for chomping or gobbling (food)

'''Ferrox''' was a free and open source software application for the servers of web-based art and other multimedia archives. It was being developed by [[Fur Affinity]] to replace their current software.

==History==
In June, 2006 the site announced an impending upgrade to the site called ''Project Ferrox'';<ref>[http://forums.furaffinity.net/showthread.php?t=1470 FA Code Update: Project Ferrox] posted by Dragoneer on June 17, 2006</ref> Fur Affinity opting to eschew the version numbers (i.e. v1, v2 and v3) it had previously used.

Status announcements were regular during the following month, with Dragoneer announcing that a closed beta would begin soon<ref>[http://forums.furaffinity.net/showthread.php?t=1641 Questions and Poll on the Ferrox Code] posted by Dragoneer on July 4, 2006</ref> and Alkora posting (now removed) screenshots of Ferrox to his Fur Affinity gallery.<ref>[http://forums.furaffinity.net/showthread.php?t=1948 Project ferrox updates (screenshots)] posted by Alkora on July 23, 2006</ref>

The code reached an estimated 60% completion{{fact}} before being pushed back to an early Winter/Spring 2007 release in effort to follow new quality and coding standards. The effective release date was "when it's ready" as Ferrox was not going to be released until Fur Affinity staff felt it had undergone sufficient testing and bug hunting.{{fact}}

As months passed with no announcements, Ferrox was derided as vaporware.<ref>[http://forums.furaffinity.net/showthread.php?t=5070#7 Ferrox - any time now?]</ref>

===Current development===
A request for coders was posted to the Furaffinity forums on September 2007.<ref>[http://forums.furaffinity.net/showthread.php?t=11824 Call for Coders/Helpers for Ferrox Project] by Damaratus on September 11, 2007</ref> Although not officially stated, Ferrox's code would be starting from scratch.

Due to disagreements with Fur Affinity's policies, Eevee resigned from the Ferrox project on March 17, 2009.<ref>Eevee.
