the nana storyline could’ve made a turn for the worse…  i guess time will tell, but this episode kind of made me sick.  not like i’m strongly against it or anything.. it just doesn’t seem right.  keep the yuri to Maria-sama kthx.

as you may notice i have NOTHING CONSTRUCTIVE to talk about so i just wont write anymore.

a nice break from the mess i made of pointers… :d

first psrv dies about 5 times in a day…

then my ipod gives up

so i guess i am to blame in both cases…

i decided to make psrv as quiet as possible – removing the 120mm noisy fan, and putting the case sides and lid on.  then p00ya decided to build a kernel, and the cpu zoomed to 100%… hitting 70c and desyncing itself?!  well i guess the processor in there has always been quite heat sensitive.  that’s why i have it underclocked as it is.  needless to say, its running with the side off at a stable 55c now.  i think the hsf needs a good clean sometime in the near future (read next time there’s a similar problem).

as for my ipod… it kind of “fell” off the desk, hitting the ground with its back shiny side perfectly parallel to the hard concrete surface.  5cm further and it would’ve landed on carpet, but noooo.  anyway, you’d think hitting the ground in such a manner would result in the least damage – the impact is evenly distributed over the whole body.  i’m not sure if that just doesn’t work in theory (or maybe because of the way the hard drive is padded much more on the OUTER edges rather than the flat front and back *gg apple*) or if the hard drive was already beginning to fail (it was making quite a bad grinding sound even beforehand), but its dead now .  hopefully md’s 10gb will work as a replacement.. but if not i guess my palm will be acting as a 1gb mp3 player until further notice…

in other news, honey and clover season 2 is well on its way, and is proving to be just as good as the first.  if you havent seen it, you should (after watching the first season ).  i haven’t been following much anime lately, but this is one series which is a *must* watch

since i returned from japan, i have been without a mobile. i thought it wouldn’t be so bad at least for a couple of weeks, while i decided which one would be most suitable, then buying from some cheap hk retailer on ebay. unfortunately things didn’t go as planned and a pay phone ate my money . so i bought a mobile.

in good tradition i ended up getting another sony ericsson. a phone which is appealing to look at and very nice to use – they have definitely improved the user interface in recent builds, as menu response times are almost instant (unlike on my z600).

camera quality is quite ok. except when there’s no light. the above images are taken at full resolution (with the casio image downscaled from 6mp -> 2mp). quite an unfair comparison but oh well!

that’s psrv2 in the picture btw – shiiiny!
