Progression comes at a price. Mainly money. Never a good price, that! What am I on about? My computer is beginning to behave. I now have a working Linux system, if I wanted to use it. However there is the slight snag of my old Linux hard drives not agreeing with the PCI card I put them on. I can't put them on the usual IDE channels because that's where the CD drive is (and I need to keep a space for the DVD writer I'm going to buy... which I was going to buy today but I was distracted). My dad's been giving me all sorts of experiments to try. I know the hard drives are fine since if they are on the IDE channel, everything boots fine and I can see my stuff. But they can't stay there. There is the possibility of an IRQ problem, but I doubt it since even when the card is in, if there are no disks connected to it then there is no problem. Tomorrow I'm going to move all my stuff on to a USB drive my dad will let me borrow for a while and format the drive and see if it will boot from that. If that doesn't work (and I don't hold out much hope), the only solutions that seem to be available are buy a SCSI card and SCSI hard drives (which are more expensive than ATA drives) or rely solely on USB drives. Either way requires me buying some form of new hard drive(s). This PC was such a good price but after this, it's seriously losing it's appeal. But I have no idea why the PCI card won't work. And my dad is stumped too, which is not something that happens often. :S
I must focus on the happy things! Linux works! That's definitely a good thing. I'll wait to see what happens with the hard drives before I start messing around with the settings in it and installations. I'm not looking forward to getting my wacom tablet working. Not one bit. But I've done it before, so it is possible. It'll be interesting though. I'll need to pester my dad for copies of VMware and Crossover again to get Photoshop and some other programs working under Linux. You know, this is not me focusing on happy things at all! I think I'll change the subject entirely.
I'm downloading the Densha Otoko soundtrack. ::happy:: It's a big download though. Bigger than the average size of an anime episode. :S But there is a small video file in it too which I'm intrigued about. The titles are mostly in Japanese though. ::tries to read the title of the video:: "[drama] Densha Otoko nonkurejitto OP Anime [Twilight]." ... The opening video I presume. 'nonkurejitto'? It's in katakana but I swear that is no english word I've ever heard of. No idea. ::tries to read some tracks but gives up:: Too many kanji I don't know. But I'm pleased with how XP deals well with Japanese. Although I was messing around with it a bit to make sure it did. ほら！ 私は嬉しい！ Although it doesn't automatically work out which kanji it should be and gives me options, so i had to go look up the 'ureshii' one. It doesn't actually look the same, but that's the closest option it gave me. :) Good enough for me until I actually know enough kanji to make this ability useful. ;) ::is wondering if that snippit of Japanese will show up on other computers::
Anyway, I'm off to Saku's official birthday dinner tomorrow night so I don't know if I'll be blogging. If I get my computer running before then, I will but I probably won't otherwise. Well, for now, I'm off. Ja!

Why is it every time I say "mata ashita", I'm never actually here the next day ('mata ashita' meaning 'see you tomorrow' or there-abouts). Ok, I've used it, what, twice? Not the point! It's still a trend! :P
And I forgot to mention Saku & Peebe's birthday party thingy (was too distracted by my own artwork). A quiet thing where we watched Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles: The Movie... No wait, it was Ninja Turtles, wasn't it? I get confused. Either way it brought back memories of my games as a child. Shredder was my mortal enemy. Really want to get the cartoon on DVD now, but I need my money for more important things. But after the movie Saku put on one of the DVDs Funk and Li-chan got her. It was nightmare-ish! Nah, I don't want to think about it. Moving on. After the others had left, Saku put on the other DVD, the Superman one. Now that was brilliant! Hilarious! And barely any plot! Fantastic! :)
One other thing to mention in relation to the party. I ate too much! Or rather I can eat too much, because I was not feeling worse the wear for eating so much and could probably have finished off the cake if it had been offered to me. Why do I have such a large appetite? I blame my period which just started. I'm sure that's got something to do with it. Although the theory of an infinite stomach for unhealthy foods is a highly probable theory as well.
Right, to yesterday... I completed Exile. Yeah, ok I was using the walkthrough more than at the beginning of the game but I was just so excited with it all, I didn't have the patience to work things out for myself. Although other than pointing me in the direction of a ladder I hadn't noticed, I did one entire age all by myself. Is pathetically proud of that achievement. But then the age was filled with little gadget (or rather big gadgets) that I find the easiest to work out. When I'm forced to wander around and see connections, I get stuck but if the solution has to be in the contraption in front of me, I have no problems. But now I've finished, I want to buy more games. There is the fourth Myst game (the fifth one I don't think is out yet but will be at some point soon), and Uru, which I'm not entirely sure where the connection is, but I believe one of the Uru titles had "D'ni" in it, so I'm hopeful to explore their civilisation. But I won't buy the games yet. I'll wait until I've read the books, and I can't move on to them until I've read the Harry Potter ones. I've a funny feeling if I was to put the Harry Potter ones to the side, I might never pick 'em up again so best to keep reading while I'm in to them.
So instead of pining for more Myst, I started Abe's Oddysee again. I'm not going to be so determined to get every single Mudokon last time. That just ruined the fun of it. As long as I get enough then I should get the good ending. I might have said this before, but Abe really moves like Rincewind, in my mind. It's the gangly-ness. ;) And also I have to comment on the fact that I'm too jumpy. Even when my death isn't exactly a surprise, I still tend to jump if it involves loud bangs. I swear my cowardly nature is getting worse.
One other thing to say: I've finally completed the chapter of Bronze I've been working on for... well, I don't know how long, but a while. Well, it's been intermittant work, admittedly. I just get irritated with all the patterns in the artwork. When there are shadows from the scans, it makes cleaning a real torture. :S But one chapter done. Just god knows how many more volumes to go. ::sweatdrop:: Although I am wondering if I will be able to continue editing when I start Uni. Don't know how much free time I'm going to have. And if I do have free time, then I'm be looking for a job to fill it up. ::shrug:: We'll see anyway.
I feel I've missed something. My failure of a dinner last night. Well, the big failure was the mashed potatoes. I'd forgotten to cut them up when boiling them, so the insides weren't properly cooked. And I don't know if I just added too much milk, but it didn't taste all that great either. ::wonders where she went wrong:: I can't even get potatoes right. I'm going to die of starvation when I move up. Although I suspect my staple diet will involve potatoes, pasta, eggs and various forms of chicken. Well and veggies too. It's a good thing I don't actually like complicated foods... Or I just like simple food too much...
Anyway, I watched Mission: Impossible yesterday and the sequel is on tonight, so I'm off to watch that since I don't think I've actually seen it before. Mata ne! ;)

GLORIOUS DAY! Right before I begin anything, let me first say Nonsical Sense has been updated again (against all predictions). What with? Well, I'm sure you're guessing the pictures I was talking about last night, but it gets better! Seriously! I know that little critter down below here is so adorable as he is, but the final result is unbelievable! I impress myself with my own skill! And I shall finally say what my mind has been screaming ever since I laid eyes on it: I WANT ONE! If only it wasn't so late, I would go play the game just to get another look at it! XD Oh yeah, and the Abe image turned out well, and I did a slig today too which isn't bad either. I also did a couple of doodles as well, for lack of anything better to draw. In reference to the 'fish guy', I really wish I hadn't. :S
But what brought on this urge to draw? Don't have a clue. I initially tried to use a pencil and paper, but after many failures, even with some of my more reliable characters that I can usually reproduce with no problems (namely Draebuo and Fusage), I ended up binning the paper since the rubber wasn't removing the images entirely and they were throwing me off. So instead I turned to my wonderous graphics tablet and Adobe Photoshop 7. After being really stumped over what to draw, I ended up copying the image from the booklet in the Exile box. I'm glad I did. It really boosted my self-esteem. As I said on Nonsical Sense, it has to be my best work in years! :D
And that isn't the only good stuff! Not all of my old stuff is lost! The stuff that was on Fanfiction.net, it turns out, has been moved to FictionPress.com instead of being deleted as I originally thought! Magnificent! Admittedly I'd been lazy and not uploaded the final three chapters of Treachery & Betrayal, but that just means I've got free reign over what happens again. I was never happy with how it finished last time. If only I could remember the name of the character that I introduced in those chapters... Oh well, I'm sure I'll come up with something. And now that I have them back: prepare for re-writes! Heh, I'm rather looking forward to it all, to be honest! XD
Oh one other thing I wanted to mention. The latest Full Metal Panic series, The Second Raid, is fantastic. It took me a little bit to get into it because I was hoping for another humourous series like Fumoffu, but this is even more dramatic than the original series was! And ever since reading the manga I've been a real supporter of Sousuke and Kaname but... ::whimper:: Another week until the next episode. ::sigh:: Looks like that's another anime I'll be collecting until the end if I can resist the temptation to watch it. I'm doing well with others, especially Bleach considering how obsessed I am with it, so I think I can deal with this one too. :)
Anyway, it's time for supper. I can watch Kamichu. That's not unbearably brilliant, it's just very very very good. :) Ja, mata ashita!

I'm just too proud of my own handywork to not share this little piece on the net right now (even though I should be going to bed). ::tries to type as quietly as possible:: Click on the pic for a bigger version!
How cute is that!? It's from Exile. I'm also drawing an Abe image as well (was in the mood to draw but couldn't think of anything original so copied from what was in front of me). Anyway I'll rant on it another time and will have to put it on Nonsical Sense. That's enough. I need to go. Oyasumi!

Nonsical Sense has been updated! And I even found a better javascript for extending the iframe to the height of the page inside it. It now works in Explorer, Mozilla and Firefox. Now I've just got to integrate that javascript into Anime Shelter and they will both work perfectly. As to what is up on Nonsical Sense, well my two most reknowned poems, the prologue of the re-write of Different Worlds, as well as a couple of fanart doodles, one for Jungle wa Itsumo Hale Nochi Guu and the other with the creatures of Abe's Oddysee. Although it has just occurred to me that slurgs don't appear until Abe's Exodus (if I'm remembering correctly). ::shrug:: Oh well.
Well, my dad is back but he doesn't have time to see to this computer yet, sadly. I'll just have to endure. But I'm concerned at how fast I'm filling up this hard drive. BitComet's speeds seemed to have picked up (on average anyway. sometimes I'm lucky to get 2kb/s). But I've finally been decisive about what to download. No more Yakitate Japan. It's a waste of bandwidth and space. I never watch it. Same with Meine Liebe and Harukanaru Toki no Naka de. So many good seiyuu, but I just don't want to watch it which is bewildering me no end. So now I can concentrate on what I do want to watch. And I'm happy. The second episode of Akahori Gedou Hour Rabuge has finally been released. I'd given up hope. Tempted to go worship the subbing group... wonder if they have a site...
What can I do? I should work on edits. But I think I really want to try writing more Different Worlds now. The next scene features Satoru though. Never fun to write. ::pout:: Just wait! Once things really start heating up... But you know, what I've written so far for the first chapter, I surprise myself at the mood of the entire thing. I wonder if I'm incapable of writing humour now, or maybe this story is impossible to make humourous (which would explain the failure of the last version). It's probably just the scenes. I just need to get to better moments! I am a little concerned about writing descriptions, and I don't seem to be able to expand scenes properly so the reactions of the characters seems over the top... But I'm going to continue anyway. I can change things later once I'm more skilled. The only way to get skilled is to have more practice, so on with the story it is!

Why is Densha Otoko so brilliant? I want to know! No drama has ever had me getting so involved in it. And I'm only on the third episode! Is it the Otaku-ness of the main character? Is it the fact that it's based on a true story? Is it the whole net involvement? Is it the different feel that comes from Japanese actors? I don't know but the final cry of "NOOO!" at the end of that last episode... Cliffhangers are cruel! But I can say with more confidence now that the soundtrack to Densha Otoko is absolutely perfect. The mushy romantic theme makes me laugh. And the various insert songs are perfect. It was fantastic when it played "Pretty Woman". XD And as to the theme from The Empire Strikes Back being in this episode... Ahhh, so good! Can't wait for more! :D
Now, while I'm here, I forgot to mention the Myst games yesterday. I've completed Riven (yeah yeah, I used a walkthrough, but not exclusively!) and I've started on Exile. I swear Exile is easier. But then in Riven I had no idea I should have been memorising the animals and their sounds when I came across them. How was I supposed to know? And connecting the eye things with the stones later on is not exactly obvious! It would have been impossible without the occasional help from walkthroughs. Other than that though, the main reason for needing walkthroughs was because I'd missed a button somewhere, or not seen a trap door. It's spotting things that I usually screw up in these games, not so much the logic of it all. And since that is the case, Exile is much easier for seeing things since it's 360 degree view. I know that does mean there is more to look at, but least you can see how things are put together so much easier. Ok, I have had to use a walkthrough a little, but that was because I'd forgotten to look down as well as around, because I didn't realise you could move the bait in the trap. ::sigh:: But nonetheless, the games are brilliant still, even if I can't complete them on my own. At this pace I'm going to need to get the next game. Although today I got the first book of the Myst trilogy, which now means I have the entire thing, so hopefully that will put buying another computer game on hold until I've read those. And since the next Harry Potter books are so long, it should take me a little while to move on to those. But speaking of the Harry Potter book, I read the first chapter of Goblet of Fire and I'm impressed. It didn't start with Harry. That bodes well for the rest of the story. I can't help it. Harry is not a very interesting character. :P
I am now hungry again... ::sigh:: I'd better eat before I feel ill. But I now have some files to work on, editing and webpage stuff, so if I can get my mind into working mode, that will give me a distraction from now on so I shouldn't be eating so much just because I'm bored. Although my dad is coming back tonight, so I may not even need to worry about not having access to everything if he can get this thing fixed and working properly in Linux. If he can't... No no, must not think of it! I'm off to raid the kitchen and see if we even have any decent snack food to eat. Ja!

My fingers ache, and I'm probably disturbing my dog with cries of "Flap faster! Fly higher! Be better! Just DON'T DIE!" and most especially the great cry of "MAN!" Good thing my mum ain't home! XD Ah, bopping buzzards never gets old! Joust is such a brilliant game. And I think I'll go back after this. I'm rather at a loss of what else to do. I don't want to restart Compy and try out the command line interface with Linux to copy stuff over so I can actually work with something in this new Windows just because the downloads are running. Things seem to always run slower in BitComet, but if I were to run Azureus, it kills the internet so much in Windows even I can't browse the net, never mind play online games. Now I know why everyone else always complained when I started using it. It was never a problem with Linux. I guess for the high downloads speeds, everyone else had to sacrifice, now I'm getting the speeds I should have been getting in the first place. ::sigh:: Although it's my own fault for not being able to deny downloads. I always like to download something just because otherwise it doesn't feel right to judge it. But there's just so much to download these days, I'm never going to be able to keep up when I move up to Glasgow in September (it's hard to believe that's just a few weeks away!).
Ok, technically I could be scanning in stuff for Nonsical Sense and messing around with Photoshop cleaning everything up and adding colour, but I just don't feel right doing that when I can't get at the actual Nonsical Sense html files. Tomorrow. Definitely tomorrow. I'll copy things over... Although my dad is coming home tomorrow and I can pester him and see if he can work this whole mess out and get both Windows and Linux running properly (minus the CD at start up). Although there is the possibility that the boot loader of Windows, or whatever it is called, has been damaged and that's why it won't boot properly. Ugh, as long as I can send it back and at least get a replacement if not my money back... If not... I don't want to think about it...
What to blog on? Not been feeling up to much. Too sleepy and I can't decide if it's too hot or too cold. But when I don't do anything to keep my mind of it, I want to eat more. If I try and ignore it, I just end up making my self so hungry I feel like I'll throw up. Today I ended up having two lunches because that feeling was already creeping up on me half way through the afternoon.
What I have done all day... Read Harry Potter. I finished the third book today, and I'm rather impressed. Not so much at the book as myself. I hold on to my original impression of the first book. It is dull and not very captivating. The second book was better. I could tell because I wasn't loathing picking it up. The third book I liked just because it told more about his father and his friends, which are much more interesting characters than Harry, Ron and Hermione in my opinion. I think that's the main problem with the books. I just can't really like the main characters. They all seem so overly defined that it just comes of as rather bland. But then I've been reading somewhat more mature books (is mostly thinking of The Darkness That Comes Before and how that is still nagging at her mind after finishing it some time ago), so it's probably I'm just not used to dealing with children's books. But as the Harry Potter books progress, they mature in style a little, so things just have to get better. And the next one, Goblet of Fire, is quite large too, so it better be good!
I can't really think of anything else to say. Guess it's back to Joust for me until it's time for my supper. Tonight's anime shall be Pani Poni Dash. I'm happy. A group has picked it up. Hopefully they shall continue with it all the way through. ::is really looking forward to the insanity of it since there were moments that reminded her a little of Jungle wa Itsumo Hale Nochi Guu:: Itekimasu!

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!! That has to be the most frequently asked question, but I am forced to using it once again. Why Why Why are PCs never designed so you can do anything with them. This was such a good PC when it came but now I've started making modifications it's all gone nuts. Although I've a feeling I could tell this machine was evil, and was unconsciously drawn to it because of that. However it seems to refuse to bond with me. Or rather... it's acting more like a child starved of affection. It can't boot without a CD in its drive, so I have to make sure that it's got the Linux install CD in there before turning it off or rebooting. And for some reason that I haven't been able to work out yet, if I leave it alone, it tends to restart itself. Course if the Linux CD isn't in, it gets stuck before any OS appears, and if the CD is in, it fails miserably to load Linux (but that's a whole other rant which I'll come to in a couple of minutes). It managed to do that in the half hour I left it when I went for a shower this morning. I've been keeping a close eye on it all day after that, and it hasn't done it again. At first I thought it was because of the power saving settings it had, but after turning all them off, it still did it. I did turn off the screensaver after the last bout today, just incase that's what's causing the problem, and things are looking promising, so maybe that was it... Although I shouldn't talk to soon...
As to the Linux problem... My dad believed that it should load from the settings that were already on one of the hard drives I was putting in, with just a bit of tweaking. No such luck. I have to say that didn't surprise me. After a fight with my dad's machines in the garage just to copy things off a drive (a fight that lasted several days, mostly consisting of waiting), I managed to dig it out and put it in as well, and so install Linux completely new. Unfortunately it has exactly the same problems as if loading from the old settings! It refuses to accept that it can see the screen and switch to graphic mode, even although the installation was done in graphic mode and there wasn't a problem. It won't acknowledge the sound driver, as far as I can tell (that's a not a big problem yet though since without a graphical interface, there ain't anything I could possibly run that needed sound). And it won't see the ethernet connection either, so no net. And it's a matter of luck whether it will register the USB... All I can ask is WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYY????????? So I guess I will have to wait for my dad to come home before I can progress with Linux. Which is beyond infuriating since all my files are on Linux formatted drives, so I can't see them in Windows (although I'm rather impressed that the formatting of the new drive I put in worked well as I now see half of it in Windows like I wanted to). It's cruel. No website files. No editing files. No anime. No manga (apart from what I download, but even then I can't remember which files were still queued to download). I'm tempted to put the hard drives back in the old PC, but I'm afraid that the messing around the Linux settings in trying to get it to work on this one will have ruined the settings for the old one. ::sigh:: It's beyond cruel! :(
Hmmm... I never did mention here why I got a new PC, did I? Well, it's Windows fault! Not much of a surprise there, but I was fed up of the slowness of it all too. This one is fast, but it could do with more memory. So far I've put buying that just because parting with more money so soon is somewhat terrifying me. Aside from the fact that I need to buy a DVD writer anyway (even if I had kept the old PC, the old CD writer was on it's last legs and driving me nuts, so it was going to be replaced regardless), I've also got the new hi-fi to buy. And I was planning on getting a portable CD player to play mp3 files on CD... but I've ranted on all that.
As to what cruel things Windows did to cause the vast amount of money leaving my bank account yet (well, it hasn't yet since I haven't written the cheque to my dad for buying it, but it will soon)... Well, I tried to install Myst III: Exile (not so much to play, just to browse around)... at least I think it was Exile... I don't think I'd got Riven (Myst II) by that point... Anyway, the conclusion after mass battles (involving weird sound, dubous CD detection, and frequent crashes, not to mention 'interesting' quicktime reactions) was "it does not work". So I went and had my dad look up available PCs he could sell me (at reduced prices since he gets them through this trade website). Admittedly the main reason I went for this one was a mistaken reading of one of the specifications. A very important one too. I thought it read 4.3GHz processor, but it turned out it was actually Pentium 4, 3GHz processor. Apparently that's the fastest processors will go with current technology (well, there are such things as 6GHz processors, but they burn out in 10 minutes [must be a seriously sweet 10 minutes though!]), but I bought it because I thought it was that one step higher than all the rest. Now I think there might have been a better deal, with more memory, or a bigger hard drive, or more space for additional drives, or more memory slots (it said it can take 4GB memory, but there are only two slots, and I checked on the net and didn't see a 2GB chip anywhere!) I feel cheated! And now that it's going wrong... well, if things keep up, it's going back to IBM to either be fixed... but then I wonder if they would accept a return when I've been adding things to the inside and trying to install a second operating system... Nah! They should! PCs should be designed to be used! Well, if things don't go well and there is the possibility of returning it, I might be able to get a machine with better spec at the same price... We'll see how things work out anyway...
Now, I need to rant on Uni! This won't be so long as all that, don't worry. I was up at the advisor appointment yesterday. With the whole new PC thing, I realised the night before that I couldn't get at the email that said where I was to meet. So I was a little concerned about that... But I was up in Glasgow really early, and my memory was a bit more reliable that I thought it would be. I had a memory of Kelvin Building and someone named something like 'David'... it was quite accurate for a change. It was the Kelvin Building, and the guy's name was Davies. So while I waited for my appointment time, my brother showed me around. Not that he was happy about it since I couldn't really think of any questions to ask and am not the best conversationalist anyway, since I never have anything to say (from all that I type here, you would never realise, but then this is all very dull stuff and I have no illusions that anyone would want to know anything of it). So we ended up just staring out at the view of Glasgow and he complained about me being anti-social and that I should go to out in the evening more. ::grumble grumble:: No one should try and insist someone do something just because that's the norm for most people. I feel uncomfortable enough around small groups of people. Well, when it came time for my appointment, he buggered off and left me to find my own way around afterwards. The appointment took a while, but then I was changing my choices considerably. From Astronomy and Maths to Earth Science, Environmental Science and Maths. I can't help but be rather happy about keeping Maths, and not having to do University level Chemistry. I'm sure I'll get enough in the other two subjects. :) Least the decision has finally been made so I no longer need to be vague when people ask me what I'm studying. Although I wish my mum hadn't made the comment about Environmental Science not being a proper subjct. As supportive as ever. >(
Well, I couldn't really be bothered going home so bought a sausage roll in Greggs and wondered to the park to have a relaxing lunch. I was happy with the spot I found. There was a squirrel near by. I see me spending quite a bit of time in that park. :) And then since I am a weak weak person, I bought manga in Forbidden Planet. 2 more volumes of Bleach (there was a third but...) and the first volume of Mahou Sensei Negima. The anime is so cute, I just had to try out the manga. Especially since the series is finishing shortly (well, technically it is finished, but I would like to Anime Councils subs just because that's who most of the episodes are done by). :D
Hmm... I guess that's everything that I really wanted to say. Time for my anime dose. I wish I had the 12th episode of He is My Master (it should not be this good, but it really is!) but since it's the weekend, I can't download anything. And I want to watch School Rumble, even though I know I should wait until I have the last episode to avoid the torture of waiting for it, but I don't even have access to the 24th episode (it being on the Linux drives), since I haven't watched that one yet. ::sigh:: Oh well, Ichigo Mashimaro. It's pretty much my only choice. It's good enough, although I'm really in the mood for something with a louder sort of humour. Still, it'll do, it'll do, I'm off! Ja!
