It’s up, and it’s renamed!

My Otaku List is updated and running, check it out!

I still have a couple of issues with teh table setup (IE no lines and a gigantic gap before the header) and I need to fill in the details, but the list is full and has all the main items I can remeber.  It’s a pretty damn long list and I hope to make it much longer in the future!

Wow, it only took … almost two years … but I finally made 100 posts to this blog.  I think my intention of actually posting is working well.  I am trying, but time is always limited, I get distracted, and somedays I have absolutely nothing to say that’s worth writing at all.

I want this blog to at least be slightly less boring and useless than watching paint dry!

I am tempted to start a Twitter account solely to destroy it.  I would post long, long, entries, but because of the 140 character limit, I would have to do it in pieces.  So that means writing a script to chop the text up and post it at timely intervals until it is al sent.  Would be hillarious to write out huge long twitter entries like that  Pretty sure I’d get banned pretty quick.

Anime list is progressing well.  Not ready to be uplaoded, but is designed and filled with almost 100 different series I’ve read, seen, or have my eyes on.  I know I’m missing some, but once it’s up, it will be updated often.  I absoltuely needed to collect all of that…there’s alot to read and watch!

Finally got the power supply replaced.  Got me a new Corsair CX400W for $80 minus a mail-in rebate, so good deal there.  Purrs along nicely and keeps things well powered, as fa as I can tell.  Oh and the fans work, so it’s not heating up the case and CPU constantly!  Now to just replace the three main case fans, get a new slot-fan and front plate as well and things will be perfect.

I have a 24″ case, exactly, with a divider, giving me two cooling zones.  HDD, CPU, GFX card and Motehrboard are in one large one with an input an output.  DVD burner and PSU are on the other, with a single output.  It’s a large space, so it cools nicely, but needs new fans, these old ones are loud and cranky.

Got fairly behind this weekend, but had a good D&D session.  Added my fourth player to nicely balance out the group.  The new guys uses a tablet PC, and while it dislikes my wireless, makes it very easy to keep character sheets and copies.

Plan on making him a quick dice-roller app, and if it works well, I mayb jsut post it here.  Been interesting in fighting with GTK, this might be the time to try it.
