Random tips of the day

* this post was eaten several times by WordPress o_o
AniDB API
Sure there are TCP and HTTP variant but TCP ones is closed and encrypted and HTTP is read-only.
(okay, this is a late rant. I faced this problem months ago)
Winter 2009/2010
Here be obligatory post. No pics etc because I’m lazy as ever.
- Harukanaru something 3: I think I’ve ever downloaded first two season for certain local anime server but never actually watched them. Whatever.
- Chu-Bra: don’t forget to disable brain before watching.
- Sora no Woto: what’s ‘woto’? :S Apparently some people made big fuss about its K-On! like design but Seiken no Blacksmith also has more or less same design but nothing happened. Either everyone was distracted by the flexible armor or perhaps I’m just blind.
- Seikon no Qwaser: too bad there’s male cast in there 🙁
- Ladies vs Butlers: omg maid/butler school. O hai Xebec.
- Omamori Himari: just forget whatever you know from manga when watching this. Looking forward to possible rage from bloggers etc.
- Bakatest: apparently this series is good (the source, at least). We’ll see.
- Dance in Vamp. Bund: shaft, slow-aging vampire, etc. Apparently the male cast is a werewolf.
- Duradura: idk. Nfi.
- Hidamari Sketch nth season: let me watch the first season first :[
- Ookamikakushi: 07th + Peach Pit. What.
- Nodame Cantabile Finale: o yay.
- Katanagatari: nisioisin 😮
- Hanamaru Kindergarten: …what. It’s Gainax ffs.
Looks like another random season. Well, there’s nothing I’m actually waiting for this season (or maybe there’s one) so I’ll just use usual wait-and-see approach.
Obligatory link aggregates for winter previews:
Whut
Diablo II upcoming 1.13 patch
O lol it’s still updated.
Balancing, fixes, improvements.
- Hooray window resize.
- No more ‘stupid death by iron maiden’.
- Various balancing. Firewall is now more useful. There could even a new and viable firewall sorc build now. Hammerdin gets nerfed though (which is totally necessary – especially if you’ve ever built one).
On Language
For most of electronic appliances and software, I just can use properly it if it’s not in English. Especially Indonesian interfaces (and manuals) – I usually change the language to (or use) English or translate the terms to English to be able to properly understand what it mean. Mind you – Indonesian is my native language.
It’s mostly thanks to the fact that ever since the first time I ever use an electronic appliances, they’re all in English. It’s just recently (by recently I actually mean 10 years or something) that Indonesian started to be available in them. And as the effect, I understand the English terms better than the Indonesian counterpart.
How about you? Do you prefer to use English instead of your native language for anything?
Next week!
Just a random reminder, dvd of Kara no Kyoukai final chapter will be released next week. On Wednesday, IIRC. ~(O_o)/~
