星空といえば, 前週の火曜日はあたしの一生初めてもてたの流れ星だ. その流れ星はサソリ座の中心から流れた. あたしにとって, サソリ座の意味は挫けない心, だから夜空もそこにあたしの希望の場所と伝われたい想っていてもいいね. ^^

And the point of comparison between characters.

Any addition to the list ?

うわ～昨日マジ嬉しいわ ^^

久しぶりだからな, そういう二人で.

まあ, 最初の予定は「彼氏が帰る間に映画を見る」. でも12時のが特切符じゃなかったら見えない. 他のが遅すぎて何か時間がもったいないと思う, だから待ってます. 「3時まで家に着く, その後あたしもそこに行く」. けど, 道が込んでいるせいで5時まで待ってます.

でも全部無駄じゃないよ. ちょっと3時まではCoffee Beanでまって, 物語がパソコンでしたり, 紅茶を飲んだり, 少し部屋のデザイン作ったり. 後はGading Food Cityに. そこはまだ行ったことない所で, 地中海のような建物, テーブルもいっぱい. ちょっと暑いけどいいふういんきだ.

ねえ, あっちに行った後で考えたんだ. 来月の土曜日や日曜日一緒に海へ行かない? まあ, 皆との誕生日パーティも何とかするけど, 楽しいと思うよ^^

ええと, 今日はやっと桃華8が手に入れた! そして, 五つ小梅けいとの同人誌も. 全部エロだけど. 野郎の絵はやっぱり女性キャラより上手くないな. って野郎と乙女と言えば, あたし達は女性同士のペールならあんたどう思うかな? ^^;

あはは...今日はちょっと後切符買いに行く. 2時の見に行くと思う. その後はたぶん, 弟は「皆, 鮓食べに行かない?」昨夜聞いたんだけど, どこがまだ分からん. あたしの方は多分あれより, この近くモールでの日本料理の店の方かな. いや, 最高美味しいなモンじゃなくて, あっち行くことは久しぶりだから.

Well, this morning, while browsing the updates, founded Microsoft Surface. It’s… hasn’t seen too much of the articles, but it’s sort of an interface system for surface object, which presented in the introduction is table surface, such as in cafe, reception desk, casino, etc. There are the interaction using fingers like what’s popularized by the movie “Minority Report”, but I’m interested by a comment from someone about movie the case of sharing bills for dinner ^^; They add also a capability to recognize what object is above the table.

Also the release of Futures, another extension for ASP.NET AJAX I guess. Installed it in the office, but I still can’t find a use case to practice using it. It seems to have more support for XAML and Silverlight, so really curious about that one.

Well, out of that one. Really, since yesterday it’s cloudy. Today also cloudy.

I think I don’t have much luck dealing with treats. Twice I got treated for lunch in office, and twice also I brought food from home. Today, there are two eating out, first is my manager’s birthday. Then, dinner in Izzi Pizza Tebet with fellows from Elex forum. With 50% discount, well, get quite a lot I had to admit, although for the pizza it’s still far from enough, quantity wise.

Oh well, although there are some uncomfortable parts (e.g: going back real late than usual) it’s fun. But, they still can’t make up about the plan of watching Pirates of the Carribean together, so I guess a part of the usual crew already watch it today. I planned on watching alone also, but get too busy today so I guess tomorrow. Expecting tight schedules from the early morning.

Now problem is the downloads. StrikerS HQ is downloading slow, and tomorrow morning I hope I can finish downloading Touka Gettan 8. Then the most important part, must not forget to put Sono Hanabira ni Kuchizuke wo 2 ~Watashi no Oujisama~ into the disk. I hope I’m not forgotting any other.

And, sunday early night will be bloody in that chara claim game. Geneon scheduled announcement of their new anime titles, so, I guess it’s full speed ahead.

Sorry for no news for the last few weeks. Well, not really there are nothing interesting, there are some which are, only I don’t find the mood to start writing.

In the office, seems like they want to add another function. Gah, if that continues, when will I can get a time to prepare and send an application there ?! Eh, and about job, Adi asked to pass his application, but well, the manager said just send it to the HRD. Now I still doesn’t get the reply, but I hope he got the response.

Well, best is last weekend of course. お泊りで～す XD

二人っきりの時間は少ないだけどね. もうやっと二人っきりの時はあたしもう眠い, そばで寝ちゃったの感じかな. でもその明日もギーちゃんがあたし漫画学校に連れて行く. そっちにはまあ… 恥ずかしいより嬉しいでしょう, 誰が認めるってことはそういう感じ ^^ でも認めてもまだ真っ直ぐにいっぱいいっぱいある. その日まで.

昨日も行くよ. 最初はPlaSemで会う, そしてV3の所へ行く. 一ついい事あった. そして, Skeithを使う事は難しいね ^^;

KGMで3時から5時まで. 家には10時までギーちゃんがP3Fesをやって私達見ています. まあ, それも悪くない, 妹さんカワイイだから^^ そん後, 二人で美鶴先輩とAegisちゃんのメイド服姿で声にならない叫び. 久しぶりよこんな二人は同じ反応をするなんて. ううん, なんか, まだ心が繫がったん事です (はい, 恥ずかしいセリフ禁止

The crazy wishlist last week when browsing NewEgg. So, one day, I want to switch the wireless AP I’m using right now (Linksys WAP54G) with the router one (WRT). I pick the wrong item, and painfully, the router is also cheaper. Then, getting a new notebook, and also, an NAS with BT download function also, so I can leave it do download for all day long. Excluding the notebook, it’ll cost probably around less than USD 300, including the hard drive if I take the more common large capacity hard drive. Ah, and the idea about installing water cooling using bath water as the reservoir. At least the heat from my graphic card is used well to warm up the water :D

Ah, my dad also think about renovating the furniture in the room. I’m actually thinking about moving my computer back inside also. But, I’m worried though. The heat from my video card is really hot, and my bedroom is already hot and humid in the afternoon because of the bathroom that is directly shone by the sun. Maybe I should also ask for extra ventilation in the room.

By the way, went to a wedding reception and when the bouquet throwing, I made up these lines after someone caught the bouquet.

Congratulation. You will be the next happy couple to marry. Now remember, the house, and then the education cost for your children. Oh, but before that, a reception with at least 150 tables.

Soon, rather than blessing, the thrown bouquet turns into a sign of curse. Really, civilization are cruel, and I felt so when playing FreeCiv (open source version of Civilization game) for the last week.

Okay, old story first. From the office, when one of the friend in the office is trying to make tutorial screencaps for setting using Macintosh. It’s really a lot more fun to do than in Windows where we only hit the age old (okay, computer keyboard old) Print Screen button, or give variation with Alt. In Mac, there are Command+Alt+Ctrl+4 and add spacebar to make it capture single window using camera icon. We easily gave the nickname for that activity as “Twister”.

Last week’s activity is going to Mangga Dua. Well, second plan actually after cancelled another one. I tried getting two things in my wish list. First is a new 1GB flash disk, and the other is 512 MB mini-SD card. My previous flash disk (plus no-brand MP3 player) has probably ended it’s short service. It can’t connect anymore. I’m thinking of taking it back to the store in Ratu Plaza, but seeing the warantee seal is already heavily damaged thanks to my bag and pocket, seems like that won’t works well.

Anyway, the new mini-SD for my phone, for more music (replacing the MP3 player) took the name Reinforce, hasn’t put the Zwei (II) yet. While the flash disk, Toshiba TransMemory 1GB took the name Kanae. No, not Anesan from Kowashiya Gamon, it’s from another of my type’s meganekko chara, from a no-idea-if-there’s-any-plot game. In addition, even though there are two episode (and ongoing) OVA of it, there’s no my favourite character, the same as the other OVA.

Trying some portable application, and then I realize, maybe taking the 2GB stick is not a bad idea. Some application like Scribus and OpenOffice.org took hundred of MBs in flash disks. Besides, I sometimes take home close to 700MB worth of kichiku eroge demo from office *got smacked*

Talking about eroge, so there is store that sells those —pirated of course— eroge in Mangga Dua. Also many new titles probably only few months apart from the release in Japan. Although, maybe next time, don’t have many time to play it anyway.

Went to BEJ again today. So here is a scary story. The crossing bridge in front of Komdak (the district’s police station) has one steel plate (floor) missing. The size is roughly one jou, and yes, unfortunately the shorter side is the width, so I guess it’s matter of time between it being replaced or someone falls victim.

Then, there are convoy of Castrol oil sponsored motorcyclists in a seemingly endless line.

Then after they leave, not so long after there are police car passing with loud talking voice. No, that is not an announcement. The police inside is chatting through the radio, but probably he forgot to turn off the announcement option, and thus, we can listen clearly what he is saying. Too bad the opponent’s voice doesn’t get broadcasted also.

Hmm… Live Hotmail is running, and they seems like will offer POP access through Outlook. No problem, as long as it’s available to the free users; currently that’s for premium users. Then, really waiting for the @live.com address. Then, I think I’ll switch my mail address there. As a historical note, my current Live Messenger ID name is a result from me wrongly read a title written in katakana. So I guess after I change my phone number also.

And while typing I’ve just realized. In Calibri font, the asterisk sign turns into a bullet. I wonder why, because when typing, I don’t like typing x (letter) for multiplication sign. Well, there are × entity, but that’s for HTML, because I hasn’t remember the key combination.

Question: anyone knows any tool to clean up the context menu in Windows Vista ? And to edit the Open With menu, that’s one of my favourite. And to edit the file icons and associations. Using Regedit is still too risky for me.

One by one… no, this week is tiring. So, the company where I’m working now is planning a new product. And, as there are several functions, of course they bought the solutions from many different companies. There are the billing, and at least two portals and several other yet to be intergrated systems.

At first, the boss told me to modify the display so it goes with the other pages in the company’s website. Fine, it only involves editing XSLT files. But, as a good boss, the requirements then creeps up. Filter a check box in the page so that it shows only the available services.

Standing with the job description given at first, I requested that the server side PHP application could filter the XML feedback. But, after another meeting until late night, thanks to the Indians that build the billing system, my parts creeps up to building the whole portal. マジかよ
To be remembered, there are also another problems such as communication to the biling that’s as good as described as an informant needing pay for each syllables.

Back to this week, writing the pages, API calls, and finally, I realized something. Yes the deployment will be made in the Windows 2003 server, but for current testing, the old portal is made from PHP, and the server is running on Sun OS. That server is isolated during development for security, but how the hell should I test the application ?! By the way, I’m using ASP.Net 2.

By the way, there are peoples in the office that’s so annoying in their way of talking through the phone. Maybe they want to act friendly, but sounds over reacting instead.

Weekend break from Friday to Sunday. Doesn’t do much in the last two days, but had great times in the first, although when night falls, I really don’t want to return just yet.

いつも一緒に物語を考える時やはり好きと共に憧れな人ですね, そう思う時自分のも進みたくなった. でもなんだか今週はダメダメみたいし.　

ね, 今週はせっかくあんたが暇なのに, あたしは出来ないかも. 次時間あったらまた誘ってね ~___~　

And, because it’s already the spring season, new anime had started airing since last week.

• Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS : This one is amazing, in the meaning that looking for the raw is a pain. Everytime I look in Winny, I can be sure that 95% of the files for the current episode are fake, also known as virus in disguise.
• El Cazador : This one is… most likely for those who loved the earlier sisters, Noir and Madlax. The feels are still there, although the ending is terribly worrying for some reason. Fave quote from Yuricon mailing list, now we know where Friday Monday’s little brother is.
• Touka Gettan : Great animation. Not really saying it’s very dynamic, but the colour, lighting and the voice of those movement, reminds me of animations used for opening animation, or trailer movies for anime or games.
• Polyphonica : Animation quality and music quality is below what’s expected, except the opening song. Checking the article in Wikipedia Japan, seems like —assuming that there are relation between authors and story— that blue, black and white will also gets animated.
• Hitohira : the simpler story of the group I guess. Although I’m not sure to have time to watch this one regularly, but really anticipating on finishing it. ^^
• Lucky Star : I’m terribly worried about this one. Reason is simple, seems like it’s done by the team that made Haruhi, the anime with the top of my list of “most annoying fanboys” group. As can be seen, after Air and haruhi it gets to the level of worshipping. -_-

Didn’t find Shining Tears × Wind.

うわ～, もう新井さんすぐ終わったね, 次の日曜はもう生天目さん
*smacked*

And the latest development… after what ? Two weeks waiting for that Asus M2N DH motherboard, I finally got enough (still had activities for April) and get an Abit KN9 Ultra motherboard plus a Linksys wireless router, shipped, because my office hour doesn’t give much freedom to go to Mangga Dua.

Let’s say, I’m hoping that it’s really a defect motherboard, and not another worse case with the processor which has more to fraud under my nose than physical defects.

*sigh*

Okay, for this week, not much of interesting things. Saturday there’s gathering, dinner, but ends up in unpleasant trails. First, after the gathering I went to Taman Ria Senayan, thinking there will be a gathering, which, they switch plan and go onto Plasa Semanggi until night. No, I’m not in the mood of going back again, so I went to Mangga Dua instead.

Want to buy some DVDs, but, before I managed to buy, all the sellers are closing because of a sweeping by the police. So, returned home empty handed, because it’s still too early for taking dinner there, and I’m also not in the mood for coming home too late.

The next day, bought the DVDs in Harco. Had to say, coming there again (previously with my brother), the place is really inspiring, if you’re planning to write story with that gloomy aura. The place is deserted, dark and dusty with several stores still open with nobody coming. If I just stay inside, it’s not that hard to imagine outside is a city covered by desert in a non-Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou type of post apocalyptic setting.

So, this week. Thanks to the bad start, not much good thing happened. Either does the story progress, there are none.

Next weeks seems like there’s a lot of job in the office. Please let this pass quickly.

A busy week. Well, a three days weekend, so got to get the needed rest won’t I ? ^^

Saturday, there’s mini gathering, finally after a long time (嬉). There’s still remains of the flood from earlier last month, but overall, the community seems like back to normal and flood is just “yesterday’s news”.

うん, 二人の時間もあるよ. でも良かった, ヤバイ事は起こらなかった,　だってさあ, あたしは最近前よりもエッチになっちゃった. いや, 前より, エッチな妄想が高まったんだ. なんつうか, 食べられたい気分だ, そう, それ (だからあの夜はあんなおねだりしちゃった). あれって, 男性には変かな ?
でもあんたがあたしが怖くなったもいや ^^;;;

そうね… 確かにその性欲あったね… けど今でも「入りたい」気持ちは無し, 絶対しない, したら股に蹴っても文句言わないから. でも何で「食べられたい」なの? ギャアアアアアアア～ @_@

Sunday, went to Mangga Dua. Got nowhere else to go, so why not go there, I thought. Of course, with the vacation, the distro are closed, so I got no luck in finding the motherboard. Ah right, last week, I finally got support in upgrading my persocon. Soon, at least she’ll go for another five years or so. Processors, main board, video card, memory, hard drive, DVD drive and casing. For the casing, I planned on a smaller size, but most doesn’t offer much place for disk drives.

After reinstalling, had to move the files from my old computer, because my dad seems to want to take it to his working place. But, the OS should be reinstalled with lower version I think. I’m using Vista RC2, and my processors already need a new HSF system.

By the way, AMD’s price cut made the tears out of me. Close to USD 30 in a week ?!

Next, hope by birthday, LCD price had dropped enough for 17" wide to be under 1.5M :D

Then, yesterday’s gathering. Finally asked about that, and there’s no requirement to be from linguistic major, although, probably it’ll be better if I try taking it as soon as possible if for full time. Now… so it won’t become a waste later just because I never took a step to start.

Plan for next week, well even from this week there’s already a lot of plans. But, I hope job went well. Got problem with the boss lately about details. There are many missed details in the website about consistency of texts. And, the update problem from last week also. The development server, I can’t save there using VWD, and thus I had a copy in my PC. But the boss likes to update by himself also and there are no track of which files were updated. Yeah, the type that doesn’t want to wait.

何だか… 何で今回のその二人の私用の書はあんなエッチばっかのよ -_-

Been a long time since the previous entry again. Two weeks ? Well, there are the routine gathering and watches movie together. Ghost Riders, which bears a lot of resemblance to Shakugan no Shana. But since I’ve speak about it too much, it’s better to not mention it here anymore.

the week after, there’s an event in JaCC. Cosplay party and such. But because it’s held in a relatively new place, there are not much to see other than the event, so things gets boring actually. The interesting part is when the folks from Animeindo forum starts plugging electric appliances (read: notebook PC and hard drives) to the wall plug and got scolded by the security.

Got a lot of MP3s, now just need a time to burn all of it into CDs. Many has ID3 tags with all wrong encoding though. But found one of the old songs I’ve been looking for since… 2002 ? the time when Audio Galaxy is still around and I can get a whole album of Yonekura Chihiro and Sasaki Yuuko. The song is Satou Hiromi’s Kanaria, theme of the game with same title.

Well, went back quite late. Met with Eve there also who have to do the reporting.

From working place, now the thing I like from moe.imouto more than Danbooru is that they gave direct link, so I can make a text list and feed it to download manager then leave it overnight. Yesterday, someone decided to throw in a pile of Strawberry Panic scan from G’s magazine, and it came out 1.38 GB worth of pictures. Then, I think today, someone will upload one of the artbook I’ve seen in Kino but hesitate to buy. Well, that’s for the next overnight session, but I will surely bring my notebook there tomorrow.

The company is planning to roll out tehir fiber optic internet service. Not too interesting for me. It’s pre paid, quite expensive, and definitely not with unlimited usage quota. Bit cheaper than Speedy perhaps, but still can’t draw those who need high quota for download from cable or unlimited DSL.
We have to prepare to new publication web pages, luckily not new site, so simpler, it’s more publication than application anyway.

Unrelated notes, I think my fetish just grown worse from the end of last week, although for the last two days I think there’s a resisting reaction also (from that same place that starts the fetish I assume, what an inconsistent person). 良いか悪いか分からないな, 良い部分 もあると思うだけど.

Recent new manga. Emura’s Gokuraku Doumei, one book left. Sexy Raiza ? :D
My favourite one is Amahara Fuon’s Naisho no Lucky Doll though. It follows the same pattern as her previous work that got published here, Mirai Kotengi. Not a bad thing, besides, the execution feels so… not blown up. According to the publisher&rsuo;s forum, there are another of her work, as well as Natsuna Kawase’s Tobenai Majou.

About songs, here’s the anime songs I listen the most recently.

• Ar Tonelico — Luminous Def — first time listening when they reached the refrain part, simply took my breath away. Beautiful song. Now I think I’ll try looking for more of the hymns.
• Kyoushirou to Towa no Sora — Madoromi no Rakuen — been waiting this one even more than the opening. Although seems like her debut single, the feel on both Madoromi, and the other song is warm and relaxing. Madoromi is… like a warm day with cold breeze in the evening. But Qualia… a night by the pier and sea.
• Read or Dream — Confidence — the second ending. Also another song I’ve been looking for sometime. The vocal is cute, and the lyrics in parts I understand at least, flows pretty.

And bottom note. The file against Republik Mimpi, I still think the press is acting just like what the judges they shun against. There are article in newspaper one time, I remember it being about how the judges are covering each other’s ass when trouble came against one. That makes it hard to reform the judges here. But the press are doing the same isn’t it ? When someone try to go against them, all will unite and make life misserable for someone who dare to try against them.

Besides, I don’t like the show. Off from what facts they’re conveying to the audiences, I’m starting to get the impression that they criticize for the sake of criticizing, not for the sake of making a change. It’s like giving way for the peoples to get the illusion they can insult (or softly, criticize) their enemy without getting harmed and looks intelligent in doing it.

み～んな～戻ったわ… うふふふ…

First is of course, valentine day ? 三週間会えない, あの水曜日でやっと会えました! わい! XD
一緒ディーナーした, 高いレストランでのあんなロマンチックのディーナーじゃないだけど, 食い放題のレストランはやっぱり, かなり高いね. でも大丈夫, パスタある :3=
プレゼント, ライフルスコープ上げたんだ. ヴァレンタイヌ・デーの一般じゃないが, 嬉しくてよかった. あたしの方は財布もらった. あたしの財布ももう古いから, 新しいのもらったは「使えるプレゼント」という物でしょう.

And, the Chinese new year. Starting from the day before, which family will gather for dinner together. The gathering is again, done in my house, perhaps because the available space, quite close to the other relatives (the other choice is my cousin's place, but that's in Tangerang). Cancelled the plan to cook because everyone is already making too much menu, and perhaps what I'm going to make is not something that will suits their taste.

Okay, so the eating is definitely not in the way to call as an elegant dinner. There are many different menus served all at once, and "just take what you wnat and don't complain about the rest" type of dinner party. After that, talks between the brothers and sisters one and two generations above me.

Personally, I don't like involving in those talks. I don't even enjoy much being with those relatives. But, my father is the type that really talk long and winding about that "socializing" matters, so had to bear talking with some of the guests. Then, I can play by myself :P

The next day… went out with my parents. I talked about how I don't like those greetings SMS (happy birthday, merry christmast, happy new year, etc) and put them in the same place as spam. The congested the network and make the really important messages (help, I'm lost, can you point me to your house) took longer to deliver. Also, they waste up space in the phone memory as well as noisy. Imagine, dozen of SMS an hour with the same thing all over again from different peoples. No, I don't have that much of relations so I don't get nuked.

Well, he starts again about that socializing and understanding others. Yes, that's the same person that always when I want to start a talk about the country and giving ideas, he'll cut it off with saying "that's Indonesia" (implying the corruption, lack of discipline, etc so no matter what ideals you have is useless and inapplicable).

The car's air conditioner also doesn't work when we need it the most, when trapped in probably a kilometre long traffic jam in the scorching sun.

鳥は鳥であるために vol 4 finally out in book store ! banzai ! The Mizuhoshi husband and wife, if that would just be Kobato and Shirou. The story is short enough to fit in at most a 24 episode anime I think, if played with the pace of Shakugan no Shana, perhaps even 13 episode only. I hasn't read the book yet, but planned to finish it by the middle of this week.

And talking about Shana, that scan of Kaze no Seikon from Newtype really made me feel sorry for the anime. The red hair and flaming sword, I can already see those peoples talking loud about who immitates who. It really has a hard way to go next season. But, thankfully it's Gonzo made, so I think I'll just pass, just the same as I pass all Korean comic published here.

Yes, Jakarta is flooded and probably a lot of peoples already write about it so let's go on to another topic. Well, my place are quite safe for now, both electricity and television are running too.

Okay, some random things. Firstly, the thing I kept forgotting to tell. There are this room decoration in the office building, just at the corner to the toilet. From shape of the leaves, palm tree family. But the colour of one of the stems looks a lot like leek.

Then, downloading stories. Because of the heavy rain several days before, seems like cable TV connection fails and thus, can't download movies. Got many in the backlog, and is in progress. Kyoushirou and VvV thankfully finished. Someone posted novel of Ginban Kaleidoscope 1 - 9, and I guess I'll take 9 (the cover). And talking about Shueisha novels, checking Tenhiro Naoto's website last week, I've just realized he's having quite a lot of project ever since last time I see it. Last of his project I know is Worlds End, but now, he do a comic in newspaper, and illustration for another novel.

Expense, didn't make it last month without passing the critical line. But now, I had bought the CD bags, so easier to find old CDs with movies (not those with song or pictures though) without having to mine my way through the pile of tubes. 800 bags, probably enough for this batch of blank CD and another 100.

Then, a concept for milk advertisement. The concept is that, there are no too late to drink milk, and drink more at younger age will helps a lot in your older days when the body's absorption of calcium to the bones has deteriorated. Then, put a comparison of price of milk, from mother's breastfeeding, the usual milk, and the group of IMO dairy products “specialized” milk for babies, childrens, and elderly. Ah, also those milks for beauty. Tag line would convey the message that now is the best time to consume milk, when the cost is still reasonable enough for the benefits.

About the truth, well, do they actually care ? As long as it sells. Yes, there are a small column in Kompas mentioning about how domestic insecticides advertisements are fooling the consumers to have the impression that the ingredients are save. We all knew that in Indonesia, one of the favourite means of suicide is drinking insecticides, but our mind works in a screwed way after all. The advertisement place that impression somewhere controlling impulsive behaviour and out of reach by logic I guess.

And because someone searched for StrikerS manga download here, that reminds me, I hasn't uploaded any other chapter after chapter 1.

1. Chapter 1
2. Chapter 2
3. Chapter 3
4. Chapter 4
5. Chapter 5

This week's story. Mostly is from working place. The boss is going to put a new billing system, so there goes the second project I got involved in. Got to learn about making the interface then, but as for now, still no clues. Also, there are the designing for cabling monitor system's database, but not mine.

Actually things are a bit intense in the morning of Monday. So, last saturday, someone got into the web server and delete the whole directory. Luckily it didn't enter the news. Well, my gladness is that it's not from the web's vulnerability, most parts of that place is static anyway and not having much interactivity that can be used. The remote admin password is kind of weak (many want to be able to access it, including the boss himself). But, seems like with that kind of event, like it or not, there should have been a change.

Then, my partner in the website maintenance job got sick, probably a week or two, so for this week, I could get that earlier going home chance. Don't know about next week. But, I still have much worries. Not going to say it here though, depressing stuffs.

Other than that… I think my finance condition is not so good. I still need to save up money and the deadline is closing fast. That buying new stockpile of CD-R really hits hard and I still hasn't got any time to buy the CD bags. It seems like a more practical solution to my rising pile of CDs.

Aww crap, and talking about money, I still hasn't told him about my changing of bank account yet !

Target, finish half of the new story project before end of the next month.

Also if possible, make a visit tomorrow ^^

By the way, loved the songs in that new Savage Genius' album, especially the theme song of Simoun's game.

Starting from last week's gathering, as the part of the chains of events ever since the last year end. Draining alot of strength have to say. I came later to Plasa Semangi, seemingly the gathering spot for Elex Media forum's members. About 11.00, using public bus that's surprisingly, not so crowded as usual and goes straight there. I guess the journey too just about 15 minutes or so. There, a lot of peoples had gathered.

Talked for a while, chatting with John, copy some files. Been quite some while, and unlike most peoples, I got mostly out of contact with old friends *sigh*.

Then continue there's a birthday party. Nearly as in Sakura's birthday party years ago, we hit the 5 hours line. Although that's not totally new. The old time gathering in TA's food court could took from 16.00 to 21.00 also :D Various spontaneous jokes as usual, and they seems like they really likes that mouth stretching scene, although that just means that we shouldn't perform in such way too often, or it will become boring for them. Yeah, it's spontaneous, but even part-time amateur got to have responsibility for the show right ?

The next event is going to Gramedia, and used that KGU employee card to it maximum potential, called 20% discount. Bought Kowashiya Gamon, and Harurun's cold expresionless blizzard invoking expression is really cute :D

After the gathering, went to shopping together for a while ^^
Then, made a visit. Helps in writing stories, although a lot of adaptations have to made because the ideas I gave missed crucial parts in the plots such as planned topics.

Really want to stay overnight, but doesn't bring any towel and hasn't told the folks in my home yet, so had to come back that night, quite later than usual.

Been long isn't it since the last time ? How long has it been. She's coming also and the last two days, sky has been thickly clouded. Well, the good side is the weather won't be as hot, and on the day like weekend where I can go out on evening, the strong cold wind will surely felt good.

And about the wet breeze, I think the place I like the most from my current working place is the building's lobby. There's a waterfall on the wall at one side, and a tree coming up from the other side. The lobby is also colder than the building, perhaps because of the water also. And, most importantly, although the air is moist, it's not resembling athmosphere of a tropical rain forest on a hot day.

The newer building is another matter though. I wonder if the central air conditioning is broken.

From online life, going around to those RP groups again. 相変わらず興味無いもんばっかね. いつもあいうタイプなキャラ. でも, あたし自分のその作品もやばいじゃない? 最近ぜんぜん進まないから.

Instead of writing, I played around with ASP again, as if I didn't fiddle it too much lately. And tried with InfoPath again. I've just realized, those .xsn files are actually a pile of XML files in a CAB archive ? So now I had a way to put custom data type into the schema file. Although, directly editing is difficult though. There are the template and sample file that has to be in sync, and also the application have the bad habit of undoing the custom lines I added -_-

Had a small cold war with my dad one night, which made me think a lot of the popular term "we don't negotiate with terrorists" again. The detail won't be given, lazy to type it :)

Well, it's been a long two weeks, and finally, tomorrow is again Friday at last \(^o^)/
Okay, my target for today is: make more parody of Soukou no Strain ! I don't want to quit at that Nomad joke.

And, Gi-chan, here's the cathedral I mentioned two weeks ago ^^
Sagrada Familia.

On the matter of siding, motivators would tend to say that siding to the strong instead of having own's decision is weak.

But in matter of building a cult in the other hand, siding with the powerful group is better. Powerful here is depending on point of view, but the trends so far for two thousand years and more are, when making friend with power is most of the time not a wise choice, because power such as government has smaller number by nature law (remember the food piramyd ?). So, when wanting to build huge mass to use as pawns, better to play their side and attack their enemy while still playing save. Hey, just find the cheapest points to buy their heart.

Poor peoples, activists, geeks, and any other minority who can speak and punch and kick more than the whole majority is a good choice isn't it ? Together with army of campaign expert to build the public profile.

Sadly… I'm not talented in doing so *sigh*

What's that ? Oh, just some bad mood after browsing around :P

Where that phrase came from ? From the time I went home and the sky changed beautifully in actually quarter of an hour. There are the half moon already shining brightly showing a week passed after the Islamic new year. Then the western sky still shines with the pastel colours that always gave me impression of "liquid metal glowing prettier than gold". Well, not the most perfect of the colour though.

Changed in a blink into the darkness blue and under borderline of cloud, crimson cinder of the last light from setting sun. Magenta gradation to side of the night.

Four counts ? ^^;

PS: same budget, almost. Which should I buy first ? A new graphic card or a new MP3 player ?
