Well, looks like ZUN is releasing a new book. No manga nor interviews, but might have a CD.

ZUN *really* likes his beer.
Currently feeling bored at work




Ouran High School Host Club
POSTED AT 10:47 PM in General

At first, I thought this was just another bishonen anime for girls, along with the requisite yaoi elements.

Then my housemate showed me a few scenes.

Ok, so my assumptions weren't far off, but it's actually quite enjoyable. Haruhi on the other hand, feels pretty bland now, although Higurashi still has mind-boggling plot twists.

Meanwhile, I've also gotten back into World of Warcraft. It's a lot more enjoyable when you use Ventrilo or TeamSpeak. Makes it easier to remember there are people behind those characters.

Heh, more 10 minutes of fame
POSTED AT 08:49 PM in General, Gaming, Touhou 東方

First my vid was linked on Kotaku, and then later on Destructoid.

For the people who're still new to the thing, you might find my got danmaku? page helpful as I put a lot of links and information about the games there.

Meanwhile, I put up a couple more videos from Shoot the Bullet.



Currently feeling happy




Back to work
POSTED AT 11:43 PM in General

Well, back to figuring out the Slashpack code so I can add my part to it. O_o

So Superman's gay?
POSTED AT 11:27 PM in General

Interesting. Given that he stands for "Truth, Justice, and the American Way."
Currently feeling amused




Summer life
POSTED AT 01:32 AM in General

Well, made some progress on my research project. Yay! At least I'll have something working to show for tomorrow. Now to bed.

I decided to take morning shifts (8am!) thinking that it would help me adjust my sleep schedule to something more normal. However, it's not working, and all it's resulting is in me not getting enough sleep for 4 days of the week, and sleeping extra for the other 3 days.
Currently feeling not sleepy actually




First meeting
POSTED AT 01:57 AM in General

Went ok, everyone's on about the same level, which is good.
Currently feeling okay

You can thank the Republicans for this.

SF Zero
POSTED AT 11:27 PM in General, Gaming

SFZero is a Collaborative Production Game. Players build characters by completing tasks for their groups and increasing their Score. The goals of play include meeting new people, exploring the city, and participating in non-consumer leisure activities.
Think of it as a MMORPG without the O. Which means you basically get to play as yourself while completing tasks you would never do as the real you.

Tasks range from stuff like telling your parents that you joined the CIA, to tipping in a non-tipping industry, to digging through trash for something still usable, to putting a flag up on Sutro Tower.

Oh, and you'll probably want a camera.

Coding "fun"
POSTED AT 11:24 PM in General

So I submitted my portion of the code first to avoid merging issues. Then someone somehow overwrote my code without realizing it, and without merging either (and when I did an update on my own code, it just overwrote my code as well, thinking there was no conflict, since my code was from the previous revision). So I still had to merge that overwritten part anyway. O_o
Currently feeling baffled




Project continued
POSTED AT 02:25 AM in General

Another project meeting, less coding stuff for the following week, but buncha reading.

2nd failed attempt at eating at an Indian restaurant now (chef was out when we got there).
Currently feeling okay




Cousin's graduation
POSTED AT 12:02 AM in General

Ugh, sleepy. Went over yesterday to my relative's place, then went to his graduation today, then came home. Ate well. Watched some DVDs. Now I'm sleepy.

AA Battler 2

Fun stuff. If it doesn't work, just press enter in the url bar. It doesn't like to be linked.

Basically past a chunk of text to create your own Ascii Art Battler. Reminds me of this old old old browser game where you could enter any url and fight them as an enemy. Too bad it was botted to death and eventually shut down.
Currently feeling amused




Saturday
POSTED AT 01:08 AM in General

Well, looks like I'll be going out and doing stuff this Saturday. Hope the temperature's not going to be too hot.

Need to take advantage of summer more.
Currently feeling okay




Success!
POSTED AT 03:14 AM in General

Finally we managed to go to an Indiant restaurant. Very saucy.

Great America
POSTED AT 12:46 AM in General

Left bright (foggy) and early. Jenny originally invited me, then had to change to David going, then David couldn't go, so Jenny ended up going again. Then Catherine and her former roommate and roommate's boyfriend came. So for $27, we had a free lunch, access to the place, and a return ticket. Pretty good deal.

Got myself soaked with the water rides (hot sun, which was cooler than expected dried us pretty quickly though). Rollercoaster rides were good I guess. These rides aren't that scary to me, and for most of them, only the very first drop had any thrill from the free fall feeling, the rest of it is usually just being pressed against the chair. Speaking of the chair, the way those locks worked was more scary than the rides, especially the way they would get locked pretty tight, and might get even tighter during the ride, so then you get the worry of being crushed by it instead.

Expensive parking too.

After that, we went to eat at the Old Spaghetti Factory before heading back.

Captain Jack

Some guy played this song during a PVP roll group in World of Warcraft (total domination in every game!). Now I'm addicted to it. It's a DDR song, which tend to be catchy.

Project meeting at home
POSTED AT 11:47 PM in General

First, today was registration day for new students, so the computer lab was very busy for once.

Then tried to figure out the intricacies of SVM with Xia before going to dinner with Phillip which ended with a discussion on governments.
