Minami-ke Okaeri

The series has been out for several weeks now. It still delivers lulz and, as we heard before it came out, it has different animation style compared with first season and okawari. I wouldn’t call it worse, but different, as it works as far as identifying who’s who. You’re welcome to give it a try, provided you didn’t think ill of Okawari, otherwise you might want to skip this. I consider 2nd and 3rd season to be “for Minam-ke fans only”. Currently being subbed by Ayako and Chihiro.

Rest in Piece Fast Dial

Some of you may have seen me recommending the Fast Dial Firefox Extension back in the day. Well, today I regret to inform that the Fast Dial I once knew is now gone. The author seems to have turned to the dark side and turned what once was a nifty extension into a near IE-toolbar-style browser hijacker. I had the misfortune to upgrade and see my speed dials rearranged to give way to some sponsor dials, a search box at the top of the new tab page, and, get this, an (unrequested) added engine in the search engine list.

Next thing I’m doing after posting this is remove this add-on and restore an earlier version of it from my usb firefox profile (which has an earlier version from when the add-on was still clean). Only while I set up a better solution, that is. To see a working app turn into crap is not uncommon, but this is one of the rare time when I actually gave a damn about the app enough to say something about it.

So bottom line, if you have version 2.11, this is as good as the add-on is going to get, so do not upgrade it ever again.

Lulfeed 2.0 and beyond

Lulfeed 2.0 was released about a week ago. Wish I would have added more features to it, but I got impatient and released it as soon as the voting system was ready Now I’m working on a sub version with all the pending planned features so it can truly be called a v2. Look forward to it

Almost a week late posting this, but better late than never. A couple of clips from Lima Hot Festival from November 14th 2008. Performances by Travis and REM were simply awesome.

Soul Eater OP2 (1% better rip)

The promised time has come. Soul Eater 31 came with a new OP sequence and, as the rumors said, with the epic Tommy Heavenly6 song Paper Moon, which we first heard on episode 28.

Great animation, but Resonance will still be missed.

The full single isn’t out yet, but you can grab a tv rip from gendou.

edit : Had to try it at work along with some other files to realize volume was way low XD. I made my own rip now, from AAC audio, normalized and cleaner at the beginning and end of track. Take this one or gendou’s

Hyakko | Toradora!

So, this month I decided to not fail the season and start a good number of new series. A few caught my eye and this post is about the first two. Both promising comedies.

Hyakko is the story of a shy girl who starts in a new school and meets 3 other girls, one of them just plain crazy (XD and I predict will pretty much steal the show). Together, they’ll create hilarious events out of simple situations.

Toradora seems like an awesome mix of series now… It includes a guy with scary eyes (Karin?) and a little aggressive girl (Shana?) that’s a bit sloppy (Nodame Cantabile?) and will end up hanging together as strange friends, under her dominance, of course (Zero no Tsukaima?). It’s actually a very promising formula, so I’m looking forward to it.

Hyakko is currently being subbed by Himatsubushi (ayako?) and Toradora by gg.

Google Chrome – Day 2

The first thing to remember is, this is still beta. That said, the browser seems decent. It holds true to Google’s pursuit of starting with minimalistic features and building up from there. The interface is clean and responds fast. Threw an acid2 test on it for the hell of it. Passed it fine (as any other nowadays browser worth mentioning). A few issues I’ve noticed would be the noticeable lack of an ad-blocking feature (much needed in today’s internet browsing), and the fact that the installer was not proxy-friendly. Not an issue for me at home, but at work I had to resort to an offline setup file (not provided by Google yet).

And from what I’ve read around, there’s already a new security bug for it (or rather an old bug that resurrected due to Google Chrome being based on an old version of WebKit. Nothing to worry about if you’re smart enough not to fall for silly social engineering tricks.

All in all, this is a good first step for Google into the browser world, but there’s still a long way to make it a viable alternative to Firefox, Opera, and that other browser that once hogged almost all the market. :P
