181st post

You might have noticed that the layout of this blog and another have changed temporarily for the past 24 hours. The layout range from the recent 5 posts that are bare (like the internet about 12 years ago) to layouts that strongly resembles a popular social networking website.



Due to some complications, I decided not to forgo the changes and revert to the earlier ones.



Why am I bothering with this? The images and widgets used previously took up too much memory and almost impossible to view it on a upgraded 1997 PC with Firefox 3 (it no longer supports Win9x) without massive lags. Heck, I'm even facing the same problems (though not as serious) with the newest PC bought last year.



I have removed the "widget" that contained my 3rd Friendster account media box but I have added parts of it to here. As the YouTube videos were among those removed, the PC doesn't seem to take up as much memory (or the processer cooling fan being noisy). On top of that, I have replaced a background that occupies the entire page with one with transparent background that just occupies the bottom right corner. I have managed to seperate the background colour of the post from the blog and tile the blog header image without making the silly horizontal appear unnecessary or a solid colour appearing. (For the current image, it still appears if the width is less than 1200px)



Now I can say that the blog looks better than it was earlier this week! :)

Alternate Dimention (Part 27)

Kotomi dragged me to an empty computer room, locked up all the doors, and closed the curtains. She also turned on the lights, air-conditioning, and one of the computers. What was the point of closing the windows and switching on the lights? Something seems suspicious... Kotomi: "A classmate of mine has fallen ill recently, but the problem is that she the main actress of an act my class has done. I know it's strange for me to ask you for this, but only you can fill in her spot in such short notice. Saeko is now in my classroom trying to rehearse, and to give them the impression that you, Mamiko, have actually practised." I was going to ask why I was playing a female role, but I just remembered that I am now a girl myself now. Me: "But you know I'm bad with memorising lines, let alone on such short notice. How do you expect me to pull this one off?" Kotomi suddenly plugged a wire on me through the bottom of my skirt with the other end already plugged

Review of Autumn 2008 anime

Image
(sorry, Winter 2009 is not yet ready) The Autumn 2008 anime season has ended with the Winter 2009 around the corner. Some are 22-26 series that would continue into the Winter 2009 season (hence, fewer new anime) but I would still count them as Autumn 2008. In no particular order, I would group these anime according to my likeness. (OVAs and live versions are not counted) Didn't watch at all or dropped at the first few episodes: Penguin Musume Heart 2nd Club : It's a second season of something I didn't watch. Battle Spirit & Mach Girl : Just looking at the pictures alone tells me not to watch Bonen no Xamdou & Hakushaku to Yousei: Doesn't seem to be my type to watch. Noramimi 2nd season: Looks like a kid's show and I never watched the first season. Rosario and Vampire Capu2: Had dropped in season 1 as there is no real storyline and the colours used were awful. It had a colourful opening though. Casshern Sins: remake of a 1970s anime. Good storyline, but

New Autumn 2008 Anime / Review of Summer & Spring Anime

Image
(for your info, I did post something yesterday and mentioned that I am having a massive re-sorting the photos at Facebook . On top of that, I am also cleaning up my room and in the middle of vectoring .) For a list of the names of the Autumn anime and links to their official website (excluding OVAs), you can refer to here for the English names, or here for the original Japanese names. Some of the anime that are due next year (2009) on top of the Autumn 2008 ones can be found in the "アニメ新番組" or "New Anime" section. There are no anime carried over from the previous seasons for Autumn 2008, but there are returning anime like "Rosario and Vampire", "Clannad" "ef - a tale of ----." "Nodame Cantabile", "Shougo Chara!" "Jigoku Shoujo", "Vampire Knight", "Mobile Suit Gundam 00" and "Junjo Romantica". Compared to the earlier Summer 2008 or Spring 2008 ones, there are a lot of inter
