Chasing After Rainbows

Note: It's not complete. As you can see on this blog, there are a lot of things. There is a long list of links to my friends' blogs, and it's in a table format using HTML. In fact, there are a lot of things here that uses complicated/advanced HTML codes, including the HTML (classic & XML) layouts of all my Blogger blogs, which stands out from the average blogs. Some of them even look as though it's hosted elsewhere as I leave their images and links intact and hide the Blogger navigation bar. On top of that, if you are using recent versions of internet browsers, you might also notice an icon next to the URL and/or the title of this blog at the tabs that replaces the default blogger icon. Other than editing HTML, I might be writing stories , drawing/vectoring, hunting for images all over, re-editing stuff I have already done, go out to somewhere, and whatnot. Speaking of "hunting for images", the ones you had seen me using so far are only a small percentag

As a celebration of the 250th post here, here are some videos of a nice scenery with matching music of the countryside in Europe somewhere. One of the scenes features an Norwegian Fjord1 ferry called "M/S Skagastøl". Part 1/2: Part 2/2: To tell you the truth, this is actually a replacement of a bloody scene of "School Days" and the above videos are where the term "Nice Boat" became popular when a ship mentioned at the top was shown. If you are not ready to watch the video, here are parodies for you to get ready (If you are, scroll to the bottom of the post): Parody 1/2: Parody 2/2: And finally, here's an uncut footage that caused this event:

After using the vector program for quite some time, I have only found out yesterday on how to form the curve. This is quite useful as not many nodes (points) of the line is needed to form a curved section, or making sure that a circle is really a circle and not multiple amounts of straight lines so that it looks nicer. Earlier on, I have also found out on how to have a colour gradually becomming another colour (or transparent), as you might have noticed for the ones from August 8 this year. I have been editing all the vector that I had done from 20 July this year to improve on it. The whereabouts of the original files of vectors that had been done earlier ( like this one done 2 years ago) are unknown as they are either not saved after exporting as png, sotred on a disc somewhere, or is on a PC that I hardly use now. Anyways, here a vector of the same thing. One is the version immediately after completing it, and another is after what was mentioned earlier. Try to spot the difference:

Not long after classes have finished, there would be a lot of students leaving the school heading to somewhere. The school would then be eerily quiet and deserted compared to earlier on in the day where there would be a lot of people around with activity everywhere. The only people seen around the school after everyone has left are the school staff (including non-teaching ones), students staying back for studies or club activities, or even "I-have-no-idea-what-they-are-up-to" kind of thing. What is interesting is that you can get to enjoy the peace and quiet. If you are lucky enough, you can also hear music clubs playing their musical instruments (good or not is another question). However, even these people would leave the school by nightfall. The rare occasion where a lot of people would stay behind would be on the eve of a major (school) event where many people would (hopefully) help out with the preparations. Of course, the planning itself dates some time back. It seems th

Not counting the part travelling on public transport, the distance to walk is great enough to be considered an exercise. On top of that, when boarding a crowded bus or train, I would find little opportunity to find a place to sit. It's even more tiring when carrying bulky or heavy stuff like groceries (without plastic bags) or my laptop around. On rare occasions, a box full of stuff nobody wants. That might explain why I can run faster than most of my classmates with little effort during Physical Education classes: my leg muscles are developed with all that activity. (Speaking of sports, I am terrible in it. For sports like badminton, baseball and basketball, my aim seems to be always be off and always seem to miss.) Except during bad weather like thunderstorm, I would always take the most direct/straight route. I would rather go around a hill through the park rather than a shorter one on the map that involves climbing up and down stars and through/around buildings and carparks. On

Well, I'm the kind the person who would not do well when practicing, but will when it comes to the actual thing. For mathematics, I would understand stuff like 8.90419868=(3432+34904)/((2130*2)+(590/13)) but not a=(b+c)/((x*z)+(y/d)) or average number of cars sold per month=(this month sales in $ + total sales in $)/((cost per unit * number of units sold)+(amount of water bought) Same goes for the names of how words in a particular sentence in a language is constructed. I don't understand things like: (thing) + (action) + (thing which the action done on) but I do know how to form words like: "I went to the table to eat an apple." Looks like I can more easily learn complicated things more than the simplified version of the same thing. I'm not sure why myself. When it comes to recalling things, memorizing them would be of little help. But I can remember every corner of the games I have been playing, including the vastness of the "GTA:SA" game. Sometimes, w

(video is unrelated to this post) I spent most of my time today doing a makeover to one of my most neglected blogs . It's based on the "Ocean Mist" template I found somewhere . The HTML code for it is for the Blogger XML version (newer one, where you can move widgets around). If you were to look at at the above link and the above screenshot, you would notice very little resemblance. That's because I made the images of the template myself and edited the code so that it would fit in nicely. However, it's still not complete, because I can't seem to find the code for the width of the post as I had increased the overall width from 750px to 1000px. Because of that, widgets that are supposed to appear directly below the posts would appear in the empty space between the post and the sidebar on the right. (The area where you see " Yukari Takahashi's network " in the screenshot above) So far, this only happens in Mozilla Firefox. Because this code
