The power cord to my laptop snapped. Suck. I knew it was going to happen. It was flipping to battery mode more and more frequently for no reason. Today when I plugged it in… I got nothing but battery juice. Now I have to pony up $60 bucks for a new one. I looked at BestBuy and FutureShop for a power adapter and they do have universal ones… for $150 bucks! HOLY CRAP! Thanks but I think I’ll spend the money and wait buy my mail box for one thanks.
Actaully, I did a hack job on the cord when I got home. I cut off the plastic cover, twisted the broken wires together and little electrical tape later and BANG-O! A nice temp cord if I ever saw one. I figured… what do I have to lose… it’s broken already.
Feels good when you can fix something rather then buy a new one (although I know this is only temp). You ever fix something you thought you would have to buy a replacement for?
So I’ve changed the theme on my blog/site. I like it much better then the old one, feels cozy ^_^
But I’d like to take it a bit farther. You know, add some plug ins and personalize it a bit for me and for people that visit. Sounds fun and easy right? Wrong, wrong, wrong, WRONG!!!!
I know what I want so I go though the endless list of plug ins over at wordpress and gather up things like…
Commenter Avatar plugin
Random Image widget for my sidebar
Reply to comments plug in
and so forth…
Do you think I can get any of them working? No. Not even close. I feel so frustrated. I go and activate the plug in and I ether get nothing or they break the site. Or I’m fooled by “Easy Installation” only to find that I have to go and hack the crap out of the php files. And the directions they give to do that are horrible too. It’s all written up like you know exactly what you’re doing. These people forget that not everyone knows what they’re doing in these files and would LOVE some hand holding, but instead I’m told to just go in and write or copy a bunch of code… and they don’t even say where! Just “place it where you want it to go” tells me nothing.
So I go to these plug in sites trying to get help and I usually end up with “sorry, you must be doing something wrong because it works for me” sort of reply if I get a reply at all. It doesn’t help that I’ll usually see a bunch of comments about how much the plugin rocks and such by other people that it works fine for.
sigh~
Oh well… I’ll keep trying to add things from time to time. At least I have sexy art for people to look at to keep them from noticing the lack of bells a whistles on my site.
So it looks like Obama has won for the next president of the United States. It’s was pretty much a no brainer that that was going to be the outcome. So here’s to you America and here’s hoping that the next four years bring about good things for you.
As I sit and watched with the rest of the world your election seems to gather much more speed and ends up more like a sporting event then anything else. All kinds of shows cover every angels, free give aways for voting, it’s really too bad that other elections aren’t cover this way. Canadian elections came and go very quickly so that build up can never happen. It’s really too bad because I bet more people could get interested or even learn more about the process with better, more entertaining coverage.
So yesterday we saw that censorship in Japan sucks (which makes me wonder how some of the uncensored art actually gets out) but one thing that does rock about Japan is that they understand fan service and aren’t shy about it.
It’s an official licensed hot and sexy art book featuring Mai from KoF. Yup, that’s right… fully licensed. That means at some point, at SNK tower, someone suggested a hot and sexy art book featuring some of their female IP should be made for the masses, and everyone agreed. The book was drawn by artist Mahiru Izumi. Oh… and this isn’t the first book like this ether. Iroha from Samurai Showdown has her own book too.
How awesome is that? Official sexiness right from the source.
Actually, it’s my understanding that just about anyone can produce a naughty book/CD featuring popular characters and no body gets yelled at in Japan. Where here in North America, if someone from the legal dept of studio X saw my Chipettes pictures… I’m sure I’d get dragged around the mud or at least have a “take this down right now” letter come though my in box.
So it would seem that an Eroge game in Japan was released recently and… oops, someone forgot to censor some of the images. The game is called Volume 7 was released on the 24th of October and actually had to be recalled because someone fell asleep at the wheel.
It gets you thinking about the censor ship that Japan has on it’s adult material. It must be the most annoying thing in the world to have your government decided that genitalia (male and female) should not be viewed buy it’s citizens. Especially when you consider the amount (and variety) of porn that Japan produces. I mean, I love Japan and all but I don’t think anyone could take my uncensored porn away from me. >_<
Anyway, if anything, this screw up lets us see what is actually behind the mosaic and some times it’s naughty bits that are only half done. Which makes sense, why put full effort in to something that’s only going to get blurred anyway. That would totally suck.
So yeah… Yay for us and for being able to look at wangs and clefts. Yes… yay for wangs and clefts. ^_^
