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 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!

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*.

Wii to be released in 8hrs 56mins 51secs

 wow, over a week with no updates.  仕事とかで忙しいと言うよりも、帰ったら眠くて疲れているから更新とかをせず、リラックスするほかない。能力試験のために、週末に勉強しようとしていたため、新しいアニメを見ることにしました（笑）。「僕らがいた」って番組ですけど、結構おもしろいですよ。まだまだ８話しかみてないなんですが、久しぶりに少女に向いているアニメを見ると良いですね。  that said, the JLPT was pretty easy/standard – no huge surprises, which makes me content that i should end up with a pass.  順調、順調～

as for wii release – just over two days remaining!  more than being excited, i am worrying about how the next few days will span out – work has been quite busy and i doubt i will be able to get thursday off.  which means somehow picking up a wii, getting my component cable from gen (thanks) and being at work close to on-time.  should be a challenge in itself, anyways.

on another note, i have really been feeling like i should be playing phoenix wright 2.  i’m going to attempt it in japanese – just to see how much is lost in translation, and get used to the 異議あり！ calls instead of objection.  i loaded it on to my ds last night but it didn’t patch correctly, so i ended up playing made in wario on the train .  not that that was a bad thing!
