• Shugo Chara! will have season 2. Apparently someone in the animeblogosphere had enough of its filler and currently in rage (or not). I just hope the tankoubon version of its manga will be released here ASAP (it’s already being published monthly in Nakayoshi). [ Source ]
• Black Lagoon season 3 announced. I haven’t watched even the first season. I liked its first season’s opening (Red Fraction – MELL) and maybe one day will watch it. Maybe. [ Source ]
• On totally unrelated news, I’m sleepy and still waiting for certain someone to restart the server. Or hopefully it’ll restart properly. Or I’ll be dead instead (ie. too lazy to go anywhere tomorrow). 🙁
• Or maybe I’m forced to install its 8th harddisk which is still lazily sitting in my PC doing nothing…

My only victory

While waiting for my friend restarting a server at remote location, I tried checkers… Which turns out I totally suck at it. Like, in about one hour (or more) playing, I only able to gain ONE victory. Fail. Anyone has tips? ;_;

It’s useful, but must be used with utmost care. Oversharpening is BAD.  It’s good when used moderately but soon after that it’ll become simply fugly. Straight lines with start bending, especially in line intersection. Not to mention it’s irreversible.

Simple guidelines would be to never use more than 10.0 for depth and, 2 for blur, and 0.5 for threshold (for awarpsharp).

I don’t usually link to downloadable files. This one is rather exceptional though: a collection of wallpapers and the source of one of the wallpaper.

Source, as in, layered PSD. Also includes sketches. And lighting. And layer adjustments, masking, etc. It’s a must see for anyone trying to make wallpaper (or anything in general). Or maybe not. Whatever.

P.S. the site also has many other interesting reads and downloads.

After sad state of ZnT2, where the only hq sub team are slow, the season 3 is now subbed by SS-Eclipse! It means than we can get both quality and speed for this series. 😀

SS-Eclipse is like OVER9000 times faster than SS-Ayu. Hopefully.

Go grab yourself one from usual source. Available in both 704×400 xvid and 1280×720 h264

This is one of the reason I moved away from wordpress.com: to add advertisement. 😀

It turns out that adding it is very easy with this theme (Tarski). And still valid XHTML 1.0 Strict to boot. Yay.

How to:

• Use Tarski
• Go to Design > Widgets
• Add a text widget (to one of the widget location; I placed at main sidebar for this site)
• Insert the Google Ads script! Make sure you use correct version or it’ll look like a failure
• ???
• Profit!

No need to install plugin or whatever. 🙂

If, for some reasons, you need to make it center-aligned, here’s the trick:
<div style="text-align:center"><-- Google Adsense Script Goes Here --></div>
And still valid XHTML 1.0 Strict. Do not use <center>, it’s a gay’s tag.

Go buy the application form now. Available at nearest major bookstore or Japanese training center. Or somewhere else.

Maybe… I’ll… take it… one day…

…or not? 🙁

O HAI. Welcome to v2.

Nothing much changed, actually.

…the unsubsidized price is starting from EUR 499 o_o

YEAH. LOL.

I was looking for this particular music in my harddrive…

Just to find that I have deleted it.

And I actually used windows’ search capabilities when trying to find it 🙁

Apparently I deleted the file about one year ago… And just realized it now -.-

So, I accidentally forgot to set max speed when burning DVD. Thanks to Taiyo Yuden Blank DVD Media and SONY DRW-830A, ImgBurn smartly set the burning speed to 18x.

And it never actually reach that speed –

I 23:13:25 Average Write Rate: 15.426 KB/s (11.1x) – Maximum Write Rate: 23.131 KB/s (16.7x)

Yeah – 15 MB/s average and 22 MB/s maximum. The harddisk is also reaching its limit. I wonder how will the speed be if I tried to burn a 4.7×10⁹ bytes data… (this one is 3.55 GB)

So he has given me his l33t-ly GOOGLE TRANSLATED translation for Kuuga episode 1-9! 👿

It’s not like the rest of series’ translation is better though, but at least now with less “with license…”

Rosario + Vampire season 2 is announced!

Following season 2 armies… (haruhi, hayate, kojika, mushi-uta, etc lol)

• WordPress ate my post for second time now. 👿
• Random news about fansub.
• Some news about new anime series (and more). Notice that some of them is 2nd season! (and how most of the news’s source is moetron)

No more this troubling but LOL casing ;_;

Thanks for holding the contents for good 2 years! (or 3? or 1? I forgot, lol) *salutes*

And welcome the new home…

Although it’s a little bit crampy inside, I can actually fit all 8 hard drives (and more) in it 😀

Now all that matter is whether it’ll be able to host the contents properly…

(About) 2 weeks left till its full reborn!

Here’s a very good read for everyone interested in file system…

😀

UBW English patch has been released! Go check mirrormoon’s website for details.

On another note, here’s what happened to my storage after ‘two copy sessions’…

Thereby I announce my plan migrating my archiving storage to hard disk drive based has FAILED.

Here are the reasons:

• My data increases at much higher rate than I can save money to buy another hdd
• Less storage, less anime at home. Which means if one time hard disk(s) on the server I’m storing all my anime crashed, I’ll be have to download them all again (happened once 👿 )
• Albeit fast, much harder to organize stuff (OVER 500 GB UNSORTED STUFF. LOL)

To worse things, I rewrite this post because my original post get eaten by WordPress

OTL

wtflol.

Good that I don’t need to download anything today though 😀

And celebrating release of TH2AD…

…and why is there no Tonami route 🙁

I made a tower of my just sorted optical disks. o_o

Kind of fun 😀

And there are three more disk spindle of 50 I haven’t stacked yet. 😮
