Serious Business

Posted on November 24, 2007

After a month of prodding and deletion of non-notable albums by non-notable bands on a non-notable label, Wikipedia is once again Serious Business.

Oh, and I updated the site's policies today, including the privacy policy.

Colors!

Posted on October 17, 2007

I've discovered a paint program called Colors! for the DS. I managed to draw this:

You can even play back the sequence of brush strokes on the picture's page on Colors! Gallery.

Updates

Posted on August 4, 2007

I've updated several of my mini-essays in RAnT to match the state of the world in 2007. It and the GBA, NES, PC sections have also been migrated to the new layout.

New system

Posted on July 28, 2007

The site is changing to a newer, cleaner look and feel. It has these benefits for readers:

Smaller logo: more room for content
Fixed-width body text column: less effort for the eye
Breadcrumb navigation for easy backtracking to broader pages
Body text sent before navigation: makes life easier for screen reader users

It also eases updates:

Shorter boilerplate per page: increased maintainability over the previous SSI-emulation scheme
Upgrade to newer PHP: no need to work around 4.0.x deficiencies

The transition will happen page by page. Pages that have not updated will still use the old look and feel.

Chester is in the wild world now. Mr. Resetti admires his anti-cheating ethic.

Oh wait, back up a minute. Did I just say Mr. Resetti likes someone?

Abundant cash

Posted on February 23, 2007

Pino and Chester wrote a 200 line FAQ for the mission of buying your house in Animal Crossing. It is designed for the GameCube version; the techniques should also apply to the DS version. Here's ACPG: Abundant Cash Player's Guide.

Go Daddy!

We are on the new server. Please mail me if you find broken links or other defects.

I beat Animal Crossing, having paid off my house yesterday. Pino woke up this morning to find a golden statue by YoshiX station. Chester, not wanting to be one-upped, became more determined to get his own statue by Chadonn station.

And my Tetris dreams are getting cleaner. In my latest dream, I met Alexey Pajitnov, and all was friendly:

"...your game."

"My game?" He sounded surprised at the recognition that Tetris was his in a sense, given my reputation as a cloner.

"On the Nintendo version it has your name across the first screen: Alexey Pa-something."

He taught me how to pronounce the surname.

"I know you created Tetris; I just dispute your exclusive right to its rules."

And the conversation went off a different way.

GeNext is going out of business

Posted on February 18, 2007

I may soon be switching web hosting providers again, as my current provider plans to get out of the hosting business.

An ETA?

Resetti told me I have six more weeks to make 798,000 bells.

Crossing the line

Posted on January 31, 2007

I have been playing Animal Crossing for GameCube. No, I don't want nor need an X-Square-Circle (Xbox 360) to play Piñata Crossing; I have enough work as Pino@YoshiX. Nor will I try any of the Harvest Moon games until at least Harvest Moon (September 26).

Happy New Year
