Here is the Teni photosession finally! Be prepared for some Gothic Lolita fanservice and as she is a cast-off I guess drooling can’t be avoided ^_^ Kinda sleepy today, but after some RedBull Cola and taking GL pantsu shots I’m fully awake. (If this combination doesn’t wake you up you are ...
Since the release of iTunes 9 a few weeks ago I’m using iTunes as my default music player. One thing that bugged for a few weeks was that Genius wasn’t as helpful as I should be. A little info about Genius taken from Wikipedia-sensei for those not familiar with this feature: The Genius ...
(Note: This post was imported from the old blog and looks a little bit messed up. I'm sry for the inconvenience.) Finally got around to take some photos of another figure of mine. This time we are going to take a look at Clare from MegaHouse in 1:8 scale. ...
…some rain must fall… …and Rin seems to enjoy it. She can’t hold back cause she loves Kasuga-stone-lantern-chan that much ^_^ . Had a really hard week since the Router-FAIL a few days ago. But when bad things happen…
My Windows 7 RC’s life was quite short as it got replaced (killed?) by Windows 7 Ultimate x64 Retail yesterday. Yeah! Kagami approves!
The vote for the next figure photo session ended yesterday evening. (You may take a look at the results at the end of the post here.) The winner is: KOTOBUKIYA’s Nanako Nekomimi Limited Black Version 1:5 – A moe overdose limited to 1500 pieces. She’s just like a figure ...
The weather became finally better yesterday (quite sunny and temperature ~28°C) so I grabbed Ryomou and Kanu for an outdoor photo session that I planned to do since Monday. The photos turned out better than I thought since I had to use my old camera because my "new" Olympus was used ...
The not so funny thing about glass desks is that you have to clean them quite often (right,Danny? ^^;) Fortunately my suddenly acquired Nendoroid daughters Kagamiku and Rin helped this time. . Kagami: “Ughh, we definitely have to do something about that desk and the stuff on it…” .
. As I promised yesterday, here is a review of my latest figure, Arisugawa Shii. She is a pre-painted, 1:7 scaled cold-cast figure from Gathering. Shii is 26cm tall and weights ~0,72kg. I guess only my 1:4 Freeing Mikuru is heavier. (Writing this review while listening to my ...
It’s now two days after watching Evangelion 2.0 in Munich and time for a few words. Note: I’d like to keep this post mostly spoiler free, as it would be a really cruel thing considering the plot of the movie. Starting off with a battle between ...
Believe it or not but sometimes a Monday is fine too! Got a bunch of boxes today. Not all of them filled with otaku-ish merchandise though. From left to right: HP ink, Kokonoe Rin 1/6, the Otaku Encyclopedia, and some rori vampire mango. ^^; Unfortunately my HoiHoi-san didn’t arrive yet. According to the ...
After three weeks I’m finally able to write about my HTPC building process. Was a little bit delayed because of a shipment fail and a slow parcel service, but since yesterday it’s finally completely finished.
Bunch of boxes get! Now let’s take a look at the components:
Well the year just started but this game could be number one at the end of 2010 too.
I’m of course talking about Mass Effect 2. It’s out since last Friday but unfortunately Royal Mail isn’t as fast as I thought.
Already played until I reached the last chapter last week thanks to the interwebs and finally received the pre-ordered Collectors Edition today. Ordered it from Game for 45€ (a great deal because the German Collectors Edition costs 99€!). Quite weird as this version would be multilingual too. (Installed it in English of course.)
That’s all… I thought we would get a tablet PC not an oversized iPod. FAIL
(Ok, the Archos is a little bit soso… but there are better ones out there.)
So the iPad is the “best way to surf the web”. I still prefer my 24″ monitors for some reason…
The iPad ad below:
Looks like Madobe Nanami did a good job for Microsoft so far cause they released a few more
OS-tan theme packs for Windows 7 now. (Also available as zip file for Windows Vista or Windows XP.)
Have chosen the purple haired, red eyed girl with twin tails of course. She sounds so awesome. ^^
I recommend to set the sounds and wallpapers manually though. Cause otherwise you get messed up fonts (usually used on Japanese Windows systems) and weird coloured window colours.
Are you eyes hurting when you have to watch low definition crap too?
At least mine are and as I’m watching HD stuff since many moons ago, I guess I’ve tried every codec pack out there.
A little bit over one year ago I found the best one: CoreAVC
Until January 17, 2010 you can get the new released version 2.0 with complete Windows 7 support and 64bit codec for $12.95 / €7,04.
Just head over to their page and enter “CES” (without apostrophes) into the discount field.
I’m actually wondering why I didn’t mention CoreAVC anywhere on my blog yet. Since back then
So what’s so great about CoreAVC?
Well, it’s the fastest software based codec to decode H.264/MPEG-4 AVC content.
But the really important and cool feature is that it supports Nvidias CUDA. (The geeks among you can stop reading here I guess.)
Why should you use you CPU to decode HD material when your GPU is way more suited for it? A cheap Geforce 8/9 pawns a 1000€ CPU with such tasks after all.
If you have chosen wisely and got an Nvidia card from Geforce series 8 upwards your CPU can rest while you are watching 1080p stuff. Cool eh?
Looks like I haven’t written anything since a few weeks. Why? I don’t know to be honest. Maybe because I was hiding from Christians and their Christmas crap or because nothing interesting and blog able happened lately. (And no, K-ON season 2 isn’t worth mentioning. There are more qualified series, deserving another season out there. K-ON is just a moe blob, fanservice anime. It’s way to overhyped.)
I was quite inactive on the blogosphere lately, for several reasons I will discuss in 2010 for sure. Sorry for that.
Now on to the topic:
As some of you might know… my bandwidth sucks big time. Until now that is. The chaps from Telekom Austria finally noticed that I would need more speed here in the middle of nowhere in the Austrian countryside. And as soon as it became available I ordered:
The AON Super Kombi!
Delicious boxes get! Thompson VDSL router, splitter, AON Mediabox, Ruckus Media Acess Point.
