How AnimeSuki Got Its Groove Back
AnimeSuki has been a bit quiet lately, listing only a couple of gig of new anime each day.
Thursday they managed to boost that up to thirteen gig.
Friday they raised it to
thirty.
Good thing I have unlimited downloads. Good thing too that these DVD-Rs are so cheap...
Update: And pfft! Just like that, they were gone. I wonder if AnimeSuki got bit by an April Fools prank?

Hmmm....Tempting and yet so forbidden at the same time....
Good thing I am on narrowband - temptation is a lot easier to resist. Unfortunately, that means I had the devil's time getting the cutscenes to Xenosaga.

What, no flying turtles?
(Okay, so that was a Love Hina reference, not a Tenchi Muyo! one, so sue me.).

And yes, I am the same person who asked at Tim Blair's weblog.

C.T. - A Tenchi fan and a Love Hina fan! (And a Tim Blair fan too.)
Do you have a blog, perchance?
Would you like one?

Pixy Misa - More or less; my taste in anime runs the spectrum (I got into Tenchi Muyo! from watching Dual! Parallel Trouble Adventure.). The current volume in the DVD player has been the last release for .Hack//SIGN.
I use to have a weblog, but it has been over a year since I updated it (Probably because it was Blogger/Blogspot too.). I should probably try to remember the address here. Granted, it is a lot more fun to read Tim Blair and Steven Den Beste, among others, than actually write your own entries after a while.

If I Was, Which I'm Not
If I was going to spend the rest of my existence as a ten-inch-high plastic figurine, I expect I would indeed want to bust a cap in someone's ass. (Did I say that right? Sounds dirty.)

You're Gangsta Bitch Barbie. You're tough and you
like it rough, and of course you like to pop a
cap in any wiggers ass.

Bible Stories
I mentioned some time past that I was a member of the Invisible Pink Hello Cthulhu Church of Last Thursday.
Well, I've found some nifty

Blogging will be light here at Ambient Irony for the next week or so.
But that does not mean I've left you without reading material! Whether you are looking for edification or entertainment, the growing list of Munuvians (over there --->) is bound to satisfy.

Tell me is the list going to be growing much more in say the next week. I'm already five behind.

I'll see if I can work out how to make the official blogroll a bit more flexible so that you can use it. Easier all round that way.

Well, I'm taking some time off work, anyway. But that's so as I can work on MuNu.

Shouldn't we be sorted in some fashion? Alphabetized, or divided into bite-size categories (by subject matter, for instance)?
That's probably just me being anal-retentive and silly.
I assume there's a list somewhere that I can copy, so I don't have to build this segment of my new blogroll from scratch. Perhaps I could work on the "bite-size blogroll" problem myself . . .

There are two lists available: http://munuviana.mu.nu/mu.js which is in chronological order, and http://munuviana.mu.nu/nu.js which is alphabetical. We didn't need a bite-size one before now.

Fedora Core 2 Test 2 Released
One bug, two bugs, tar bugs, su bugs,
grep bugs, mew bugs, old bugs, new bugs.
This bug has a little hack,
This bug has a broken stack.
Say! What a lot of bugs to track.
Yes, some are in tar, and some in su.
Some are old. And some are new.
Some in sed, and some in jed.
And some are even in parted.
Why are they in parted, jed and sed?
I do not know. Bugs should be dead!
Some in jpeg, and some in TIFF
This TIFF one has an attached diff.
From there to here, from here to there
Test release bugs are everywhere.
Fedora Core test 2 is available for
x86 and x86-64
It should not be installed where production is hot;
use it only for test, as we say quite a lot.
If you install with the default
SELinux will be the result
SELinux is a form of MAC
For more answers, check the FAQ [*]
By explicitly stating what apps can use
Unwanted accesses it will refuse
[*] http://people.redhat.com/kwade/fedora-docs/selinux -faq-en/
So please test test2 in this mode;
and please test it with your code.
Plus it comes with a new GNOME;
can you test that in your home?
Also X.org is new,
replacing XFree, test it too.
And 3.2.1 of KDE
We need to test, test, test, you see!
So we will test it on our box.
And we will even test out sox.
And we will test it in our house.
And we will test it with our mouse.
And we will test it here and there.
Say! We will test it ANYWHERE!

Good move putting the Frank J fanclub site on mu.nu. This way, at the crucial time you can exert your influence to displace him as ruler of Planet Imao . . . but I'm not supposed to talk about that here, am I?
Scratch all that. Yay!

Are there still nihilists around?
Dumb question. Of course there are still nihilists around.
We can strap them on the roof with the other ideological baggage.

Gadget of the Day
This is just plain nifty. The Netgear WGT634U may have a dull name, but it is shiny and packed full of goodness.
It's a firewall and a router. It's a 4-port 10/100Mbit ethernet switch. It's a 108Mbit WiFi access point. And if you plug in an external USB disk drive, it's also a file server.
I haven't found an Australian price for it yet, but in the U.S. it retails for around $150.
