I took down almost all content pages, replacing them with their pre-construction ones, as I am rewriting the base of this website.

Hope to get a completely new system running soon-ish.

あわてんぼうのサンタクロース (A hasty person's Christmas)

Christmas really soon! No, I don't have a time to make a new webpage design just for Chrismas, so make do with my lovely greens and greys.

Well, this site still needs work... I'm not happy with the sidebar, that was a quickie to get the design out of the door so I don't delay it much further. If anybody thinks they can do better, and can make a design I am happy with, feel free to offer your assistance. It's the hols, anyway.

While I'm typing this, I notice there is an interesting mix of people online. Firstly, the rl regulars, are mostly online atm. Other people (non-real life): Chase-san, James, SiCK PRlCK, some guy I forgot his name, okeN, Tetsuo, sunny2517, Kasumarae, Adam, Gazette, Ed, deject3d, Masoud?!

Well, what else should I expect at 2200JST/0500PST. The usual, I guess.

YouTube stuff

Japan? Not surprised at all. US? Not surprised - I have a few friends there, and they also have an active Vocaloid community. Singapore? Moderately surprised. I only know one other Vocaloid fan living in Singapore. Taiwan? I would expect it to be before Singapore; but meh. I'd lump Canada with the US. (No offence.)

Coding something to automatically upload rankings, because it's starting to become a timesink. Sometimes, an transload of a *single* video takes 30 minutes, thanks to traffic conditions in Japan and the US respectively (down/up). I'm moderately surprised that my Japanese-titled videos get the most attention, half-japanese titles come in next, English titles after that.

My most watched video is the Hatsune Miku + Kagamine Len duet of "When my first love ends" - that an arrangement of the latest song of the famous ryo/supercell. Imo, #3, Kagamine Len - "Questioning my humantiy" should not be recieving that much attention.

What the heck is that graph in the picture anyway? Views/day? Scoring 1100 views per day over all my videos is not so good. 106 videos at the moment, so that means 10 views/video/day. Blehx. I've 32 Subscribers, which means about 20+ views from them per day since I post at least one video per day. Whatever, I hate the complex math of group based behaviour.

Today's Daily Rankings

15 December 2008

Saw a lot of other people irl. Surprising, really.

Talking about real-life, Sun Microsystems is going to have a Sun Tech Day in 2009. [Offical Page]. ooo, they're trying to drive up interest by giving iPods and Wiis.

Sun Tech Days is loaded with practical information. You will learn more from real-world solutions. Whatever your focus - JavaFX, OpenSolaris, AJAX, GlassFish and MySQL �EYOU will find sessions to take YOUR development skills to the next level.

Yada yada. I'm not going, and never will, if you're wondering. If I really wanted to I may as well attend it in the United States or similar where there will be more people turning up.

"But... you use MySQL on a nearly daily basis... and AJAX whenever you feel like it."

So? Doesn't mean I have to go right? And don't talk to me about Ajax. I don't really like to use it since some text-browsers don't support it (or even JavaScript, for that matter).

Absurd Petition

二次元キャラとの結婚を法的に認めて下さい

Translates to: Please legally recognise marriages to 2D Characters. ("キャラ" in this case typically refering to those in Mangas, Anime and Games.)

When I accessed it, this petition had 2,979 signatures already, with a target of 1,000,000 signatures. Unsuprisingly, most signatories were between 15~25 years old, male, and were students.

One of the signatories brought up a very valid point:

これって結婚相手が他人と重複したらどうなるの？早いもん勝ち？・・・ｗ

Translating to:

What if there is more than one person who wants to marry the same character? Fastest person first? ... lol

Heh, whatever.

Saw Tiffany working today, neh, didn't say hello 'cause she was busy. =P

Infernal Vocaloid fan-spawn

Well, well. If you thought you knew all about the Vocaloid fan-made spawn, this image should quickly prove you wrong. The image should be pretty accurate to about two weeks ago. Listing time!~

(The image is rather incomplete, if you want to include all the random fan-drawings other than the more popular ones.)

If I made a mistake in the list drop me a note at the forums. Relatively well known characters bolded.
