Holizz versus the Web

まあ…私にはちょっと子供らしいと思います。

一番の悪い奴がいつも負けて「ナニー？！」と言いました。大ステレオタイプなキャラクターでした。

このアニメの存在理由は作品を売る事だけではありませんの？

Why Pretty Cure　（なぜプリキュア？）：

* This proves that almost everyone watching Pretty Cure bought its toys!

たしかに存在理由はおもちゃを売る事ですね。（ところで、「prove」はちょっと違いますよね。）

良い所はね…えっとう…キュアホワイトの声優がCCさくらのメイリンの声優ですし、キュアブラックの声優が「耳をすませば」の仕手の声優ですし…以上だと思います。

これはトムの大アニメレビューでした！次回の記事を楽しみしてね！

Lately I’ve been seeing lots more police officers around than usual. It’s gone from seeing a couple walking about each week to seeing many walking or driving every day. This is generally around where I live (which is in the general area of the university).

And this afternoon there was suddenly a huge gathering of police officers on Laisteridge Lane. I seemed to have missed the action and nothing’s appeared on the news yet, but something must have happened.

一昨日、またダイアログを録音しました。

私が「母の金魚が死んでしまいました。」と言って、他の人が「わたしのすきないろはみどり。あなたは？」と言いました。

私がそんなに笑っちゃっていましたから録音をとめなきゃでした。

あのせりふの後で「好きな色はむらかみです。」と言いました。

と言うわけで、大成功でした。

Well due to the lack of locale support, I evidently can’t use OpenBSD as a desktop system. I have, however, been running OpenBSD as a server (SSH-able NAS, MPD-able music). It’s a joy to administer, and I’ve just worked out how to set up the default chrooted Apache to serve my klookup project. See 10.16 - Tell me about this chroot(2) Apache?, the trick is copying over the Ruby binaries and libraries into the chroot jail, and the linked libraries with the help of the ldd command.

I was implementing UTF-8 in the tree of klookup until half past midnight last night. It wasn’t even something necessary to the project, but it was fun. I could do with investigating alternatives to what I’m doing. Like writing some Ruby extensions in C, or using Unihan (which is significantly bigger than KANJIDIC, but doesn’t require testing each character’s codepoint to see if it’s kana).

I talked to somebody at Acer, and they said that they sell the laptop and the OEM software as a package and so I can’t return my OEM copy of Windows XP (which I already deleted).

The EULA I downloaded from microsoft.com says “IF APPLICABLE”, and was not for an OEM distribution, or even for the correct distribution of Windows XP. So Acer and Tesco are probably within their rights to not refund me.

At least I tried, and gained telephone XP in the process.
