My final JLPT adventure

December 3rd, 2006
38 Comments

…hopefully. I just got home. Today’s JLPT 1 paper was the hardest Japanese paper I have ever taken in my whole life. It felt like an entire level higher than all the level 1 past year papers that I’ve been doing. I guess they were really out to fail people. Oh well. Like any Singaporean who [...]

DarkMirage.com - now with 100% more clutter!

I finally decided to stop supporting 800 x 600 resolutions. It’s just too damn small to work with. According to Google Analytics, only about 4% of you are using 800 x 600 screens, so you’ll have to deal with the horizontal scrollbar… Tyranny of the majority ftw! Forget it. 400px wide content div it is. [...]

Moé Factor is now live!

Part II of DM’s domain-registering misadventure. Long story short: I decided to make it a picture-of-the-day thing. After hours of Wordpress hacking, I finally got it down to something close to what I imagined. Why I didn’t just use one of those ready-made POTD scripts is beyond me, but what’s done is done. There are still [...]

What should I do with this?

I registered a new domain for some unfathomable reason. Hurray! The catch is that I can’t decide what I should do with it. (It may seem like I’m doing things backwards, but actually that’s just your imagination.) www.moefactor.com Some ideas so far: moé picture of the day (NSFW galore?) peer-ranked Digg-style anime news user-submitted anime news but with moderators instead [...]

JLPTにさよなら！…多分。

The end is close. This will hopefully be the last JLPT paper that I will ever have to take in my life. Never again will I have to travel to that god forsaken school located in the middle of nowhere to suffer for hours, enduring freezing coldness and uncomfortably small chairs. Yup, I just received my [...]

Testing. テスト。 It’s alive! Yay! This blog is now hosted at Dreamhost. :3 I maxed out my bandwidth on my old host, so I thought it was a good chance to switch. I’m pretty happy with Dreamhost so far. It’s faster and I get shell access (IRC yay!) now. Not to mention my month bandwidth increased [...]

I hate 3D Studio Max

Modelling a spaceship: 2 hours Figuring out how to texture a planet: 2 hours 3D Studio Max crashing: GAO DESU!!! Doing random little adjustments and wasting a lot time: 2 hours Can’t finish rendering a 4000-frame animation in time to meet the assignment deadline: priceless I rock.

New Layout: Haruhi H

Yay! Finally, a new layout; my first since migrating from B2 to Wordpress. It’s Haruhi… and the letter H! (What were you thinking?) Okay, so it’s not exactly a completely new layout. It’s based on the default WP theme Kubrick. Also, it contains not a single line of code from K2, even though the colour and [...]

Okay, so this isn’t exactly the post that everyone’s been waiting for. I’ll blog about today’s Wesada-Shibuya High School bunkasai later. Maybe tomorrow. Anyway… Say NO to lolicon! Help light a candle today!

Calling all biology majors and bird watchers

Okay, so this is supposed to be an anime blog. Theorectically. But sometimes there are more important things in life than anime, such as finding out the identify of this duck-like bird that has been catching my attention every time I walk past it on the way home for the past few weeks.
