 is there any word that cant be mangled to contain wii?  i think not!  anyways before i sleep i feel like posting a couple of screenshots… mainly because i haven’t yet!  running via component output to 40″ lcd.  its only 480p, but hey – it doesn’t look that bad.

these are all the miis currently on my system.  need to make more friends :d, or get more friends to make miis/buy wiis!

the wii channel menu.  yeh i’m feeling slack so ill post some action shots/movies later maybe.  i guess most of you have already got wii anyway.

someone tell me – is wii a plural?  or is it wiis o.O

Wii

Friday, December 8th, 2006

wii waited for the shops to open.

wii risked being late for work, and battled the many people racing to be at the front of the pre-order line.

but wii have wiis.

first impressions after playing for about 6 hours?  awesomeness.  hey, i would love to go into more detail, but i have a temple to tackle in zelda.  and a tennis game to settle when phill arrives.

anyone who has a wii but isn’t listed in this listing, comment with ur friend code so i can add you!

byebye annoying filenames

Wednesday, December 6th, 2006

in a stroke of boredom last night, i decided it was time to tidy up the mess that is my drama collection. when i say mess, i mean the filenames which are tagged my hundreds of release groups in different ways. as this process done manually is horribly time-consuming and i’d probably fall asleep in the process, i decided to code up a little script to handle it for me.

results are quite satisfying :) .

it handles all files which are in the order that would seem like a series of episodes. it skips specials and stuff like that, although maybe i could add such handling in at a later stage. if anyone is interested in the script then i might tidy it up a touch and release it. you can basically drop it in a directory and double-click for no-interaction instant effects :d.

update: as people seem to want this, i have cleaned it up and made it available here. basically download, drag to the parent folder of all your series (as in your main ./Anime/ folder rather than a single series subfolder) and double-click. if you feel unsafe running my code on your computer… well you shouln’t be here in the first place :p. enjoy, and report any bugs/improvements.

update2: well i changed a few things, mainly to meet ds’s needs.  just a note that if the pattern matching doesn’t work as youd like it to, just edit the regexp string at about line 60.  i have kept it quite conservative to avoid unwanted matches, but as it always takes the first match from the filename, you could probably open this up to an any-character match in most cases.  but it wfm as is *shrug*.
