Library

Today i spent my afternoon’s nice big part in the local library reading. I’ve read a Japanese folk-tale collection of about 190 pages. It’s been really interesting and very easy to read. I also rented four more books to the three i had rented before: two Vonnegut books (i don’t know their english titles and right now i’m lazy to check it in the books), an Edgar Allan Poe and an Oscar Wilde anthology. I rented the Poe book because a person trusworthy in this field too told me that his works are worth reading – and i rented the Wilde book because of this person too, since i was told that the Picture of Dorian Gray is also a great book. I only read its first chapter, but i can only agree.

After i arrived home, i made my maths homework, quite easy, except one that i couldn’t understand, because it used a phrase in the task that we haven’t learned about yet – at least not as it was printed there. Then i made two parts of four of the english gcse exam papers, but they were dead easy. If it was real action, it would’ve allowed me to work for 120 minutes (so two hours), but i finished it in half an hour. So to say, as expected. I was lazy to make the essay-writing part too, and i am also lazy to download the sound files for the listening comprehension part.

Now i don’t think i will start working, rather chat with people on different IM networks and read something interesting – like Agatha Christie’s Appointment with Death.

Silence

Cool. My afternoon was spent refining the code of DB and writing content pages for it. Also, i think i’ll do a few news posts too, though it takes a while to write the hungarian ones because of the entities (yeah, lame, i don’t use utf encoding there).

I also have to learn two pages of freakin german words for tomorrow’s test. It sucks.

Not to mention i have to read two books i – so to say – don’t really want to read, though when reading them it’ll be more fun than starting.

I downloaded the two Digimon Savers episodes i haven’t seen yet (24 and 25), so you can expect some updates regarding them tomorrow. I didn’t get 26 because i couldn’t find a direct download for it yet.

Yeah, this is the typical post about nothing. Sorry.


Anime Con

Yesterday was the day of the autumn Anime Con. This event is one of that few which worth travelling to Budapest to participate for me, and it always lives up to my expectations. The Sakura Party (which is the con in spring) was held in the Jövő Háza, but there were much more visitors than expected so the con building was not a bit full. This time the organizers chose a lot bigger building, the Petőfi Hall, which could welcome about 2500 people. And still, it was full too, though not as much as the Sakura Party.

About the con itself: it was fun and great as expected. The visitors could find everything they ever wanted to on the con, there were AMV shows, cosplay (cosplay is when people dress up as anime characters) contest, console gaming with anime-related games (the Bleach and Naruto fighting games were the best and most popular), karaoke singing, body painting and japanese calligraphy, card (mostly Yu-Gi-Oh) games and go (japanese table game), manga and DVD-shops, talks and other presentations, and if i’m right, there was a drawing contest too, though i couldn’t find the pictures anywhere =)… After the time i left (i had to catch the bus home =)), the party didn’t end, then begun talks with the dub actors (in japanese: seiyuu) and the manga publishers, also then was the announcment of the results of the cosplay and AMV contest and even later begun the afterparty. Together with that started the showing of the Final Fantasy: Advent Children movie, then of the two Hellsing OVA.

To sum it all up in one sentence: it was just as fun as the Sakura Party, so it was great and i could only advise anyone to come to next spring’s con!

Soulfly

After two months i write a podcast post once again. This time the subject is a work of a really interesting band called Soulfly. Don’t ask me what’s their official style, i don’t know. But this track i attach to this post is great and quiet, almost jazz-ish. Catchy, so to say. And very peaceful. Also, it gives you some resplenishing after you listened to the whole album, since on the disc you can find couple of much harder songs.

Let’s see the fish. Or whatever.

I simply couldn’t resist this pic, so amazing. And, if i understood well, this is no photoshop, mere photography! This is the first deviation that i seriously consider buying a print of…

Feature

No, it’s not about a new feature for this version (i’ll leave other important fixes and updates for the new version), but that the blog was featured at Blog of the Day. Cool. I would’ve never thought i would receive such a … well, i think recognition is the best word here. I also put up the button they gave.


Working hours

At last, today i can work as i wish, i have both time and will and lack disturbing elements! Great! I upload plenty of pages to DB (already done two), make another sketch of the new blog layout and work on Kiltant to finish it as soon as possible. I don’t write any more now, rather will edit this post later.

So, right now i think i’ve finished the next layout for the blog – i can’t wait to see it in live action! It’ll have nice big amounts of AJAX and other trendy technologies too. I also uploaded some new DB pages (hasn’t count how many), wrote a really quick and secure authentication script for Kiltant, and also wrote a working algorythm-plan for its shop. Now i’ll have to type for my parents for a few hours, which is a dead boring and tiring job, but at least i earn some money and typing experience too =).
