Reposting my 11/11/11 nerdosity. So many elevens in this screencap!
I bet the jar is made of fontech
Oct. 19th, 2009 05:45 pmThis has been a Shitty Day, but something amusing came out of this on lab class.
While Tales of Graces does look like it'll be shiny, I wish the characters would look more charismatic. I read the descriptions and few backstory that's out, and I don't really feel much interested in any of them. Especially the girls, man: the main one sounds incredibly annoying and cliche, the butler's daughter while cute so far is only love triangle fodder, and the mage girl sounds like a genki ripoff of Rita. And what's left with the males? Mentor that might or not be evil (AGAIN, NAMCO?), stern megane guy, and pretty foppish prince. Just barely more tolerable, yet still not that cool. Asbel's basic plot sounds pretty neat, but I get the feeling I'll end up hating it as soon as he gets more involved with whatever Sophie is into.
Ah, very important!! I'll try to make an icon post somewhere this week. Any suggestions? Any requests? Any images you want to give me (that aren't porn or random fanart you picked on pixiv/4chan)? I did a request post at my![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
icondork a long time ago, but either I'm too lame and no one cared, or I was too strict. Oh well, I mustn't feel bad about it. Anyway, I have very few pending requests to do, so I might as well do something pretty (or as pretty as I can) for either of you guys.
ETA: Note to self. Stop doing LJ accounts for your shiny new RP muses, when you're still too intimidated and busy to join anything. Somehow I suspect you just want to see if any canonmate poke you at dear_mun, and then feel sad that everyone -even you- forgot all about it the next morning.
Professor: ...So you make the .jar file like this, and later you can find it in the dist folder of the project. *shows, inded, a folder called like that*I mean, I know it must be short for distribution or distro or whatever, but my mind went automatically to Saphir Neis. At least I'll never forget where the .jars will be?
Me: ...Fff.

Jul. 24th, 2009 02:04 pmSo out of the loop lately. By the way, hi to everyone checking this out from the Small Fandoms meme. I hope you don't get too bored with me.
Right, I still had to finish the words meme! Let's go with that.

Jun. 13th, 2009 01:44 pmGood things happening these days:
- New FMA chapter was so shiny~~~ ( Two-line spoilers )
- Vacations! I'm done with my exam and I'm confident I passed.
-crucetemporal, a Spanish multifandom dressing room. I haven't been able to hang out much, but I've got some cool ongoing threads right now.
- For my RP, I coded a little something in Javascript. It's a randomizer (well, pseudorandom) that simulates rolling dice and flipping coins. There's also one "eeny meeny miney mo" option where you give it a list of items, and the thing returns one or more random ones. I'm plugging it just in case someone may want to use it for something, even if the interface is not in English (dado = die, moneda = coin). The last thing could be useful for memes!
Bad things happening these days:
- My brother has a recovery math exam, meaning I'll have to stay here a week tutoring. UUUUUUGH. I had plans to retake Persona 4 this weekend! Now my whole June plans are ruined.
And a question?
Oh, by the way, those who own an XBOX 360. I'm planning to buy a model with internal memory of 512MB. If I don't play online, will that miserable amount be enough for three or four games? Besides buying an expensive Microsoft hard drive which I can't afford, are there more ways to store saving data? What about pendrives? Or normal USB hard drives? I can't download arcade stuff and save them on those, right?
ETA:

Since I had to go to the bank today, I took a chance to get the goddamn ipod. Incidentally, the poll was pretty much 50/50 on the colors, so it came down to me. And of course, I took my decision in the most possibly sensible way.
I tossed a coin 8D
Well, more like I dropped the coin on the store's floor after twirling it a bit, but yeah. Heads purple (Klavier), tails blue (Tear). It landed showing the "5 cents" side. Then I noticed, a bit late, that Euro coins do not have sides with people on them. Now seriously, what side is heads in those?! So I attempted to give the sides a logic. In Spanish 5 cents, one side had the number, the other had the Barcelona cathedral. The logic was: cathedral → church → Daath → Order Knights → Tear → blue. So that meant the result was purple, so I bought purple :D
Oh, and I got it a pink-purple case, so it can look even more Gavin-like. The colors are similar ^^
I'm still trying to figure out how to sync it with iTunes. I foresee several afternoons of changing metadata on mp3s before uploading albums. I already have some messed up songs and I just started O_o *is afraid to put OST songs on it*
A couple of photos
Aug. 25th, 2008 03:47 pmFirst of all, I just bought a new external HDD. It's like so cute and black and silent and just nice when compared to the old one. It's 320GB. I shall name it Spinel II so it matches my red 4GB pendrive (Ruby).
I also got myself a new PS2 dualshock controller. I have no idea what I'll do regarding the Gamecube card yet. I'll go to my mom's later this week and look for it carefully.
Anyway, I said I had random photos, so here they are!
There was this life-sized goddamn Batman in the Corte Inglés department store, near the toys section (OMG Wall·e plushies so cute). It's for a kids' contest, and they can win this... giant thing. Seriously.y so srs? Now, would a kid actually want a goddamn Batman larger than them? I foresee mostly entries of adult fanboys and fangirls.
Of course, what they'd do to a Batman doll? *shudders* Creepy. And obviously, couldn't help but thinking that if they really wanted to attract people, they could've given away a Ledger!Joker. God knows everyone and their mom on fandom!secrets would love to do dirty things to a giant Joker doll. S-sob ;_;
Something prettier! My bus passes by this place on the route every day. CLAMP fans would understand why I can't help but smile:
YEAH. I KNOW. (and yes, trébol = clover) Sorry about the quality, but it was taken from inside the bus and the window reflected the sunlight. I cropped the window frame and a random passerby. I have no idea what this entrance is. It would've been awesome if it were a bar or a cafe, but it seems it might be a house.

Deck the halls with lots of TCG decks
Dec. 24th, 2007 03:42 pmThis Christmas is gonna be suckage in real life, with half my family sick with the flu, but over the Internets it's going peachy.
Stray Beads: my TCG-related website
I'm not sure it looks good since doing graphics on the laptop is awful. I'm not sure why I wanted to do it, since I could just give the LJ post as URL, but I felt like doing something pretty when I joined Trading Academy yesterday on a whim. Probably I need a new game like a hole in my forehead, but... their CCS deck is so SHINY! And there's a card of Clow on the HOLiC deck (OMG sdhf). I don't know, it's very varied in decks and most of the game is automatized. You get prizes for some games instantly, and that's a plus. The system seems original, also.
Speaking of Clow and TCGs,anime_lj_tcg rocks SO MUCH right now *__* I'm collecting six of the new decks now, and stepped all my currents aside for some of them. I mean, I'm the one who asked for the Kusuri-uri deck, and let me tell you it's absolutely gorgeous. Obviously I'm also all over his mom Amaterasu's deck because DUH. I already have a Link card from the randomizer and I'm collecting him (er, them?) as future deck with Loki's. I'm amazed this batch has cards for videogames I actually PLAY. Gasp! The One Piece decks are so, so tempting, but I think I'll just collect one card from each like I did with Furuba.
But the most djfhdksjhf part? The new CCS decks. I knew there was going to be an Eriol because I sawrhap_chan asking for it. But you know what else popped out? A CLOW DECK. As in, A DECK OF CLOW FUCKING REED. To match my Yuuko deck, y/mfy? Words can't explain how win this is. Of course, they're both my other two currents now, with the sexy seller and the wolf. Oh lawl. I can't wait to have new cards of that <3
Anyway, have fun today if you celebrate it.

God, why, it's a fucking plastic BUNNY with lights and voice and moving ears that can connect to the interwebz and do shiny shit. Cutest. Gadget. EVER. Nerdiest. Rabbit. EVER.
They brainwashed me successfully. I WANT ONE FOR CHRISTMAS. *_____*
And I'm cursing my Networking professor for showing this website on class.

Well yeah... sorry if you saw last night's capslock of O NO U DIDN. The shit is still NOT DONE, amazingly. I need to do my suitcase, fuck it all.
But anyway...
Feliz día del orgullo friki!
Happy "how do they rise" day!
*which still can't understand because she hasn't read that Discworld book*
And me, I'm a bit happier because I got this shiny, shiny fanlisting approval ZOMG *_*I must've had zero competition LOL So I have two wishlisters in upcoming. At least Waka already has a layout because I'm building a shrine anyway. I need to start on Ling as soon as possible.
So. Today it's Geek Pride day in Spain. To celebrate in some way, I'll upload random Star Wars mp3s.
The cantina band
The cantina band, song 2
The Imperial March (Vader's theme)
Duel of the fates (because the shiny Jedi/Sith duels were the only thing worth the prequels eww)
ETA: European man found in Ancient Chinese tomb.
...
...
Is that you, Clow's dad?! :O

The end of all spam... over here
May. 14th, 2007 10:18 pmI'm not posting about Okami in this journal anymore for a reason.
taotrooper~~ ♣
All the spam, meta, bad jokes, spampics, embed video, and screencaps to show how fucked up the game is, will be there. Now, you'll tell me I'm being ridiculous for doing that and you can skip those posts. And you'd be absolutely correct. I don't need a monofandom journal, especially for such a minor one (actually, is there even a fandom? lots of people play it, and there's fanart and icons, but they don't obssess about it this hard). But truth to be told? I wanted to make it! I wanted to register a silly username related to the game, and have all the few slots with Okami icons, and put retarded shit in the interests. Because honestly, I like being this ridiculous.
And yeah, I thinktaotrooper sounds extremely cool. And dorky, too.
So yeah. If there's anyone who's slightly interested in this, which I doubt, friend this journal. Although I'm extremely sad I don't have friends into Okami who'd read me, but maybe some day I'll find them... Alas.
**********
Since I've had new friends and lurkers for the last weeks, I'll make a recap of the journals I'm maintaining:
amewarashi
The one you're reading. Rants and memes go here. Sometimes even personal stuff, but not usually because I'm a reality renegade.
The name comes from a minor character from XXXHOLiC.
retrograde_moon
The web design journal. That's the place I use to talk about my websites, the fanlistings I'm applying for, and there's much layout pimping.
The name comes from... uh, I just wanted to use the word retrograde ^^U
icondork
The icon journal. I'm sharing it withhamsterfactor. So basically, I don't have to explain what it has. Once in a blue moon there might be screencaps, but don't count on it too much. Warning: my iconing is as random in taste and subjects as I am.
I came up with the name because Estefanía and I love the word dork.
kitsune_epics
The fiction (usually fanfic) journal. The fandoms I write the most about are Card Captor Sakura and XXXHOLiC, but sometimes I do try different sandboxes. I'm an average writer: my fics aren't awesome, but they're readable. Sadly, most of it is genfic and pornless romance.
I wanted a mythical, alluring name for this one. Also, I had read too much HOLiC.
strawberrysamba
The, um, animanga pimping journal. I made this one recently and said I was going to use it to do recaps of my fandoms, but I discovered I'm way too lazy. It'll probably remain for short reviews of stuff I get intoand illegal downloading of whole series, under cut. Comment there and I'll add you.
The name is from a Venezuelan candy bar called Samba, which was my favorite snack during high school. I was particularly fond of the strawberry flavor.
taotrooper
See above. Okami-centric journal.
The name comes from a FBI-esque group of military-like onmyouji commanded by my favorite character. I kid you not.
So, check the ones you want out.
