Windows XP SP3 Released!
Following my last post, this is what my next OS will be.

/me goes downloading it and then will slipstream it to be installed on several pcs

Windows Server 2003 SP2
Following my last attempt migrating to Vista, it proved neither successful nor failure. Too bad I won’t have any activable key until September. Sucks. Decided to try Windows Server 2003 SP2 before moving somewhere else. (guess where 😀 )
Ubuntu lol
Ha. So I installed Ubuntu 8.04 on my laptop.
- Mplayer works (just search it on its package manager interface). Styled subtitle also works albeit with glitch on font rendering.
- Using intel graphic chip helps greatly when using it as no need for additional driver.
- In general, using not-so-new hardware means that there’s high chance nothing will be need to be done to use linux perfectly (?). Laptop’s volume control (via keyboard shorcut) also works. So does the touchpad and battery and wifi and… everything 😛
- Uninstalled again though, as I need space for data XD
MWAHAHAHA
10 volumes of Zettai Karen Children Manga GET.
My wallet feels lighter though 🙁
DIY Wallpaper (LOL)
My animelist!
I’ve made it too o.o
For the lulz.
Note that I haven’t added most of old series I watched yet.

YA RLY
Small nice change from Firefox 3
Just realized: resized image is now resampled properly.
Good since it looks much better now
Bad because I can’t detect large images in a page (apart from slow loading time)
YMMV 😀

LOL WUT
On web based games…
A few days ago, I have to wait someone for one hour. And since I’ve got nothing to do, I go checking my old account at MonstersGame. Fetch graveyard loot, challenge the ancestral (and win). Then saw that there’s new version of it but not yet applied to all servers – and – a new game (or maybe not so new, but at least it’s still only has one world).
Tales of Magician. Got curious and played for the lulz.
Here are some differences with MonsterGame, Knight Fight, and some other games from RedMoon Studios:
- Stats gained from level: no more buying stat with ingame money. Which means it’ll be much more balanced and characters will have same total stats on same level.
- Diversity: more attack variations (that is, spells). Unlike MonstersGame, where there’s no attack variation, or KnightFight / TechWarrior, where only two choices: full def / full atk (in case of KF), or energy / physical (in case of TW) – in ToM, one can choose either focus in one element tree, or divide on two, three, or more element tree.
- Items: well, the items are much more expensive (and money is harder to gain) – but there are less dependency on items in this game: weaponry doesn’t directly add damages, it adds up in percentage.
- Faster to level up: Now I can level up much faster thanks to the fact that if I fight against higher level I’ll get five(!) times more experience compared to when fighting against same/lower level. Level 6 in 2 days wasn’t possible in any games before (it actually possible if you’re willing to gimp your character thanks to the need of money to raise stats – but since raising stats doesn’t use money in this game, whatever LOL)
- Faster and less discrimination: 10 minutes attack delay and 90 minutes free exp compared to 15 minutes attack delay and 60 minutes free exp from other games
Well, that’s it. I’ll try this for few more days just for the lulz. 😀
And
Also tried Ikariam. This one is city building. Not going to tell you anything else though as I R LAZY. 😀
Mark your calendar

Hey
Epic setup is EPIC.
(In reference to G00ndumb ep 25)
Protip
- If you’re looking for great images, check out the ones from either Tinkle (てぃんくる) or Mikeou (みけおう) 😀
- Go to Icie’s site to get some of them (no link for you. HAHAHA)
Too many to download, too little bandwidth
D**n! Just when the new season starting, my connection getting slower!
FYI, IDR 750k/mo will get you ADSL 384kbps.
Or, there’s this one cheater city that you can get about 1.5Mbps (cable) for same amount of money.
Or… IDR 275k for CRAPPY connection. (YES, MINE)
Migration to Vista, try 5
This is my fifth attempt migrating to Vista.
Pre-migration: Vista Beta 2 (or the first public preview, I don’t remember its exact number, so just call it “Beta 2” for now). As it’s a beta, I only install it just for the LULZ. Checking it out. Encountered some problems (the main problem is I can’t connect with my wireless connection without messing registry first). Find fix for the problems, solved some, back to XP
First: Vista RC1. Being an RC1, I expect it to be much more stable than Beta 2 – and yes it certainly is. Wireless conncetion problem still retains though. But I have easier time since I’ve already tried the beta. At the time, foobar2000 is still incompatible with Vista. And I only have x64 edition… compatibility in there isn’t funny. Back to XP before getting more headaches.
Second: Vista (released). Business edition (from Campus Agreement). Pretty good overall, except that I can’t activate with given key. Bummer. Used for several days and then back to XP.
Third: Got activation cr**k from intarwebs. Proven to be stupid. Back to XP… or not yet. Armed with /rearm (delaying activation deadline for 30 days), I installed it (without cr**k). Used for several weeks… till my internet connection becomes problematic. Got ISP’s technician to repair it, just to find they destroyed my Windows (HA). And it turns out that the problem is on SERVER SIDE. (HA). Back to XP to prevent FAIL and started using dualboot few weeks later (one for people in the house, the other one for myself).
Fourth: Got new key. Activated successfully. Runs fine… till I tried RF-Online and find that I can’t play properly with it disconnected for every other minute. Back to XP (LOL).
Fifth: Vista SP1!! LOLWUT. It actually works fine now and it’s good enough for me. The rest below.
Why Vista?
Some of you might wonder why I bothered trying Vista. Here’s the reasons:
- It’s latest version of Windows. Newer doesn’t neccessarily better. Correct. But it’ll be better with time. I’ve experienced trying new version of Windows back to Windows 2000. Windows 98 -> Windows 2000 IS painful. None of my drivers works. Compatibility problems everywhere. Then there’s this “Windows ME” – another problematic OS. In fact, I’ve ever re-installing in sequence like 98 -> 2000 -> ME -> 98 -> etc, in one week. Or one month (countless re-installation of Windows). Then comes XP. Albeit less problem than 2000, it’s slower. Even worse: XP, 2000, ME, 98 installed-uninstalled in short cycles. Too bad Vista takes ages to install. And I have this thing called “internet connection” at home now, making me lazy in doing that.
- 14 Updates (about 8 is important, the rest is either recommended or optional). Compare that to OVER9000 updates/patches for XP. XP SP3 will be released soon though, making this point moot. But whatever.
- Integrated search. No more Google Desktop now. And I can search from Windows Explorer instantly. (and feels faster)
- Aero. Huh? LOL. No, this isn’t my main reason.
- It’s not really much different. Except some fundamental changes and supposedly more future proof.
What’s new in SP1?
SP1, the thing that enables me to use Vista (for one single reason, that is). Here’s the differences between pre-SP1 and SP1 (and the power of time)
- No more messing with registry to connect to my wireless network
- RF-Online now works fine
- More Vista-compatible programs (it’s power of time, actually)
The bad?
There are some problems with it though…
- SP1 installation took ages. SERIOUSLY. Why do I need to wait SP1 installation to finish if it can be slipstreamed with main installation?! Last time I installed Windows’ service pack is at XP, SP1. After that I just slipstream it and be happy.
- My key is now invalid. Bummer. “Multiple Activation Key has exceeded its limit.” HA. I need to claim new key at Monday (or Tuesday). Or I’ll just resort to /rearm. Why Microsoft doesn’t have VLK anymore is beyond me. Even Server 2003 Enterprise has VLK (yea I have legit – in one way and another, at least WGA said so – XP, 2003, and Vista)
That’s it. LOL. Here’s the screenshot.
(It’s Vista. YARLY)
