Nomad/, I guess. Has been a long time last they produced anything. Not that their productions have any semblance of quality but overall isn’t too bad, I guess.

The design is quite awesome, methinks. I think there’s some hype around this. Can’t remember where I saw it though. Looks like standard fare in this genre and not sure if want to follow. Need to check few more episodes before deciding want or not.
Inb4 watching entire series just to decide it’s not worth the time.

Lol. It sure has been a long time last I
blogged written anything.
I don’t even know how to write anything anymore :S
Anyway, this is second series I started this season with, and looked kinda good. Not sure what’s going on yet and I don’t read the synopsis either but looks like fun. By fun I mean both fun and fun. Yep.

On AKB0048
So, AKB0048 ended last week. I don’t even follow AKB48 but I think this went pretty good. The ending was quite epic. Over the top but still entertaining. One of best type of entertainment, IMO.
In the end, it is pretty much beyond expectation. Despite the funny voice acting at times, the songs are good because, well, that’s what they’re good at. The story was quite intriguing as well and I did look forward to it every week in the end. As expected from Satelight, I guess?
Should’ve bought their stuff during ACE last week 🙁

Zeropaste update
It now supports paste deletion. Only via web rendered properly for now.
Inb4 feature creep.
A bit of many things of Winter 2013
My backlog is so long thanks to moving to somewhere a bit far (and fucking cold, no less), but hey, whatever.

WordPress 3.5 Initial Impressions
This blog has been updated to WordPress 3.5. Initial impressions:
- everything is less rounded now
- Twenty Twelve (the new theme) sucks for following reasons:
- uses custom font: causes this blog unreadable until fonts are loaded (at least in chrome)
- image header: positioned below navigation menu (and the header text is above the menu)
- no more search bar in navigation menu
- the new media uploader looks useful
Overall there isn’t much change (what should I expect here) but the new theme sucks. At least to be used on this blog.
0paste Updates
With my move to a better VPS, I changed some things on 0paste:
- MRI Ruby 1.9.3
- Passenger
Worked quite well and much easier to maintain.
Mail again, Debian 6
For my own reference, after few hours messing around with shit called mail system.
PostgreSQL authentication quick start
Connecting to PostgreSQL from command line can be a bit confusing.
For starter, just like MySQL, psql
command defaults to connecting to socket instead of tcp. To make matter confusing, most PostgreSQL installation defaults to ident
(also called peer
)authentication for socket connection: it basically matches current user’s username (ssh login, etc) with PostgreSQL equivalent.
So, instead of using this to login from root to PostgreSQL superuser (usually named postgres or pgsql):
# psql -U postgres
you do this (assuming sudo installed):
# sudo -u postgres psql
The configuration for this is located in pg_hba.conf
of PostgreSQL data (or config in Debian) directory (/etc/postgresql/$version/main
in Debian, /usr/local/pgsql/data
in FreeBSD, /opt/PostgreSQL/$version/data
in EnterpriseDB PostgreSQL).
To switch to password based authentication for all methods just replace ident
(or peer
) with md5
in respective lines and reload/restart the service. Don’t forget to set password for postgres user first before changing this otherwise you won’t be able to connect. You can then connect using psql
to any user using password.
Building Latest Transmission in CentOS 6
By default, CentOS 6 (and other RHEL clones) only provides transmission 2.13. There’s alternative repository from transmission official site but it isn’t really all that “latest” either (and I don’t fancy adding random repositories).
First, compile libevent2:
- install gcc and make
- download and extract the source
./configure --prefix=/opt/libevent2 && make && make install
And then compile transmission (hopefully you don’t need the gtk interface):
- install gcc-c++
- configure with
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/libevent2/lib/pkgconfig ./configure --prefix=/opt/transmission --disable-nls --enable-daemon
- finally,
make && make install
- if there’re missing dependencies, just install them (they’re all in repository apart of libevent2)
Don’t forget to add path to transmission in bash default profile (in /etc/profile.d/custom.sh):
PATH="/opt/transmission/bin:${PATH}"
And done! Enjoy the latest transmission.

The third one. A bit better and less dark than PV 02. As usual, ripped from main website.

Zeropaste update
I decided to mess around with Zeropaste and added some “features”:
- Show paste in plaintext (fixed width) and Markdown
- Allows displaying paste in fixed width instead of full/auto
- Setting mode and width based on url
- Automatically updating url based on selected mode and width
0paste.com has been updated accordingly, including Rubinius 2.0.0rc1.
Now you can read glopping Asuna in convenient fixed width markdown (NSFW).

I did say proceed with care. Anyway, this is the second “Pilot PV” (whatever that means). Ripped from official website just like the first one.

Yet another pastebin: 0paste.com
I decided to get a domain for it because of :reasons:. Anyway, the old ones from p.myconan.net is still accessible (it’ll redirect to new url at 0paste.com). Donations welcome.
Also because the world needs yet another pastebin. This one is running on Rubinius using Puma, by the way. Four threads with awesomest possible caching for showing pastes.

Forgot to post about this. Ripped from their main website since the one in YouTube is shittier. Shaft, etc. Proceed with care.

Completely Disable UAC in Windows 8
Windows 8, just like Windows 7, has Control Panel interface to disable UAC. There’s difference though: disabling UAC via Control Panel in Windows 8 doesn’t fully disable UAC. You can check it by launching Command Prompt: in Windows 7, you’ll get administrator command prompt (the signs are “Administrator: Command Prompt” window title and default directory at %WINDIR%System32) while in Windows 8, you’ll get normal command prompt.
Also reported here (complete with “fix”).
Fix by editing registry:
- Key/Path:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesSystem
- Name:
EnableLUA
- Value:
0
Windows 8 Initial Impressions
6 hours with Windows 8.
MetroModern UI is shit (the applications)- The Start Menu (or whatever it’s called now) is ok-ish though
- The lock screen is awesome with its customizable background image
- The global one is difficult to change though
- File association was updated and doesn’t work properly in at least IrfanView and 7-Zip
- Compressed folder still exists and can be disabled the same way as Windows 7
- So is Aero Shake. Really though, there is no more Aero but there’s still Aero Shake? Is it some kind of joke?
- The window border is thick-ish but I guess OK for now (quick google also showed some border customizer)
- Hyper-V is in it as promised. Works as expected. Most OS need Legacy Network Adapter (except Ubuntu and SLES) or installation of the integration driver for some OSes. The biggest plus is it works at system level – VMs can be automagically started as Windows starts
- All applications I usually use works without problem
- It’s not move to (top right) corner but move to corner and move down a bit
- Updates (from Microsoft Update) which requires license agreement doesn’t work (at least on my PC)
- There’s no discernible performance difference
- Yes, Everything also works
- Also, flat
- Windows Explorer is a bit better: no more intrusive action buttons above file list (moved to the top)
- Remote desktop work OK. There’s no more classic style but I think the new one (Modern UI) doesn’t use too much bandwidth (being flat and all)
- WRT RDP, the 2X Client I usually use in Android doesn’t work with Windows 8. The good old Remote RDP Lite works though (and with CyanogenMod’s plain keyboard, the physical keyboard input works again)
I think that’s it for now.
