This week has been hellish due fucked sleep/work scheduled and I can’t really wait for weekend D:!
This is quite strange, but I happen to have stuff to write in real life blog (rare thing, since I never do anything besides work and Final Fantasy XI)
My parents went on a cruise to Greece some weeks ago. Being a big fan of the movie “My big fat Greek wedding” I forced my mom to buy me Ouzo! What’s that?
Ouzo is an anise-flavored liqueur that is widely consumed in Greece. It is similar to French pastis, or Italian Sambuca, or south slavic mastika or Turkish raki. It can be drunk neat or mixed with water.
Totally brought at work and had a “drink party” right before going back home the other day <.<
I LOVE anise flavour, and I find Ouzo so awesome :3 Totally going to get drunk someday with it and friends <.<
When Kerb was here, we managed to go to this strange “Monkey Park Adventure”
Although it’s like near from where I live, I never saw that before o.o! Must be some new thing made recently! That was fun as hell, climbing on trees, using tools to jump from one to another to complete the whole course :3
There are four level of difficulty (exactly like when you go ski); green blue red and black. Obviously we managed to get the red one at our first try ever and even did that backward (idiots, still dunno how!) and I couldn’t even finish because I’m stupid and with no strength at all ; ;!
Visited Genova Aquarium! Last (and first) time I’ve been there I was 16 years ago when it was opened, that makes me feel really old! But I swear I’m not!
Anyway was very fun and awesome, kinda spent half of the time to lol at the seals with doggeh faces (omg so cute <3) and poking some kind of little mantas (yes! You can touch them for real)
They also made this cool biosphere thing with exotic flora and fauna, quite beautiful but all kind of insects still scares me (yes, i grow up stupid), even multi-colored uber beautiful butterflies. HUGE butterflies!
Had some shopping fever and i threw some money into some games…… I just can’t control myself to buy stuff. Ask Kerb x.x;
Don’t ask about “Family Ski” <.< I found it cute and thought fun to play (I still have to try it tough, hit me!)
Kinda brought DS and PSP outta grave (successfully upgraded my PSP to 4.01 M33-2 and it’s AWESOME) and decided to try Phoenix Wright and Crisis Core :D! I already played Final Fantasy Tactics on Playstation years ago and I haven’t started it yet. Since I’m gonna whore it getting EVERYTHING, like passing days and days pimpin’ out my character, completing Deep Dungeon multiple times (Excalibur farm go) and replicate my uber DNC BRD WHM/CLC KNIGHT(dual wield) party, I’m gonna to leave it to last.
Oh, and I bought an horrible platinum version of Tekken 5 too, and powned Kerb ass so hard he won’t touch that game again :(
Crisis core is awesome. Even if I hate the whole FFVII mania spreading everywhere (hey, I was the one with a HUGE ShinRa logo in her room before 2000) I can say I like it. But I’m at very start, and I just like spamming missions over mission, they are fucking addictive D:
Not talking about graphic because I totally don’t care, since I can’t really judge a game for its graphic, IE that’s why I keep saying one of the “bestest” PSOne titles are stuff like Suikoden and FFT.
I love Phoenix Wright! All character are very charismatic, and I totally want to raep Edgeworth and…Mia! (np lesbo tiems are fun!) I haven’t finished it yet because I’m an uber retard who cant go past a trial and I refuse to read any walkthrough, guess I’ll try again sometimes soon!
I know it’s old, but I also downloaded (Yes, I happen to play cracked stuff sometimes) Patapon. Same retarded developers of Locoroco <.<
This game is not as addictive as LocoRoco, but it’s still nice. I still have to play it more, but honestly I tought it was better >_<;; My expectations are kinda unsatisfied.
Now some nerdy stuff. Looks like Wordpress gonna have some major release soon!
Probably some of you knows I’m updating this blog script everyday through SVN, allowing me to run changes made by developers everyday. They made it again, totally changed the Dashboard!
Vertical left menu! You can expand/contract it avoiding those annoying extra clicks you had to do to reach some settings, stats or manage pages. This thing alone, it a change made of win!
Can also change DB’ elements, but this is a feature not finished yet so I can’t really say how it works.
New addition, this “Inbox” thing, which it doesn’t show comments at all, like the name could have suggested. I can’t wait developer to finish this, gonna be some new interesting feature!
Post page has changes as well. I’m not going to post all screenshots since apparently they broke the thumbneal creation thing as well, I just added what I find most appealing to me; a list of uploaded stuff to current post!
It’s totally handy especially when you add a fuckton of files while you write, plus the buttons “Edit” and “Remove” save you several clicks indeed!
There is also the chance to sticky posts now. Under Publish menu, you can check that option without the aid of some plugin or some hacks.
Above the publish area, there is an expandable checklist to chose which options will be viewable while posting: If you don’t use “advanced” stuff like Custom fields or you don’t care to see your own posts revision, you can just hide them!
I hate having useless boxes laying around, I’m really happy for this new feature!
Also, Categories and Tags checklist have been moved -like oldschool times- to the right, making old user happier I guess, and I admit it’s more handy and easier to use.
And if you don’t like that, you can just drag’n'drop (like ALL option in the page) wherever you like and prefer! Even if, unfortunately, this works only with original Wordpress boxes, ie. I can’t move Livejournal crossposter plugin options.
There are still many bugs around. Widgets are totally broken, cant add any of them at the moment since yesterday, but this is going to be fixed within hours I guess. Besides this, I really want 2.7 coming out really soon, everyone will love this new version!
Google released their own browser………….Google Chrome. Besides the fact I hate them for making it blue and not allowing me to change it red (I’m jocking, but it just doesn’t match my desktop!) I am kinda worried for web-developing purpose.
We -intended as “we, web developers”- have another shit to worry now. Internet Explorer 8 is already out using a DIFFERENT engine than IE7 that uses a different one from IE6. Lot of people use Safari and a big majority have Firefox. And let’s not forget Opera. That makes us poor programmers writing code for SIX browsers. I personally don’t care much about IE6 as long content is still readable, even if I should avoid it since lot of people are still using it.
Chrome uses Konqueror KHTML engine, which is quite a good news since it’s the same used by Safari.
But meh, where are my gecko browsers CSS3 complaints ? Using Webkit is just lol. But I checked all my personal sites and work project with Chrome, and they look good.
It’s still lacking LOT of features, as example it can’t still read RSS at all (that’s why I use FeedBurn to support my syndications, yay to substitute web page with posts)
Anyway I like it but won’t use till it’s complete, or at least google releases a stable RC. Plus, the fact I would need to give up to use no script and fancy stuff like Greasemonkey makes me sad. And the blue skin!
I bought a Ventrilo server for FFXI/random stuff, but I really doubt I’ll use it outside game! It’s just too damn useful when playing MMOs because in most situation, talking is way way faster than typing, while people die. Maybe I’ll post connections details here someday.
But unfortunately my connection sucks and I can’t use it quite well, but maybe I’ll get real connection in October or November. Looks like we’ll sign house contract real soon! I just…….don’t want to worry anymore each time I open a website when I start too see many images, or dying when I see some 5-10MB software update….. and honestly, I miss getting shit from torrents.
And I cant play online with my Wii, and I need to use some wireless router asap for my consoles :!
Few days ago I was totally in pain because camping cancelled my bookings for the first two nights when Kerb will be here. I really didn’t know what to do, because my parents are highly suspicious and doing shady things would have been so difficult!
