Sensei 2: Complete Save Game

This visual novel is simple: the story resolves around youngster who got laid to his female teachers (different one for every arc). The fetish is as-is, in a way you can say it features vanilla-est fetish you can get from adult visual novel: no harem, no over-sized boobs, no crap.


 
-- some screenshot here

It's pretty easy to get the game done anyway, but here's my complete save game in case you are too lazy to get through all the arcs.
TEA2US.SAV
Put it in game's directory and you're good to go.

Firefox Manual Update: *.mar

If you ever try to upgrade Mozilla Firefox manually using *.mar packages, you'll find that it's such a pain, duh! The manual in Mozilla wiki page isn't much problem due to not-so-man-page style of writing.

--- Disclaimer: this approach's been done on my personal Slackware box, you should consider your own operating system configuration, directory access permission, and environment variables ---

Actually it's quite simple:
1. download the latest update package (*.mar) available for your firefox from Firefox latest release,

2. rename the packages you just downloaded to 'update.mar',
mv firefox-18.0a1.en-US.linux-x86_64.complete.mar update.mar

3. move 'update.mar' to 'whereveryouinstalledfirefox/updates', so in my case:
mv update.mar /opt/firefox/updates

4. run 'updater update-dir apply-to-dir'. 'update-dir' refers to the location where you put 'update.mar', and 'apply-to-dir' simply refers to the location where 'firefox-bin' is. So in my case:
update-dir = /opt/firefox/updates
apply-dir = 'opt/firefox'.
update /opt/firefox/updates /opt/firefox

The installing window will pop, just wait,

5. restart firefox (if you're running any instance), and enjoy your updated build of firefox.

You can also read the 'update.log' in the same directory as the applied 'update.mar'.

XWindow's Error

XWindow is silly ;) The issues is related to broken requirement packages--reintalling the X-related packages simply solved the problem.



you don't say?

Embarcadero's RAD Studio XE3 World Tour: Surabaya

I attended Embarcadero's RAD Studio XE3 World Tour: Surabaya in Sept 14. The event is nice, and RAD Studio XE3 is kinda cool. The speaker is Steve Ho and Gordon Li.


-I ate a lot of brownies back there, hehe
 
 

RAD Studio XE3 is an IDE, heavily based on Delphi with FireMonkey GUI designer and rapid prototyping tool, and Prism which is kind of wrapper for mono and .NET. The IDE is available on Windows (XP onwards) and MacOSX. Demos on the event highlighted its readiness to develop rich business application on Windows 8 and HTML5 with flashy interface, d'oh.

I can't help but comparing RAD Studio and Qt. It's Pascal and C++, it's FireMonkey and Qt Designer, it's Prism and Qyoto, it's Delphi and Qt Creator, moreover it's proprietary license and LGPL.
 
Later in the event, they said RAD Studio's going to support Linux by 2015 (on Lazarus maybe?)

anyway, thanks for the shirt and the mouse :)

Touhou

Touhou Hisoutensoku is fighting game (for Windows, duh!) where all the characters are female. It features several unique elements: weather which affects the field, spell cards, story mode, also you can play across network (if you don't find playing with your friend in versus mode convenient enough).

The Door is Open Wide

I just like it--I don't think porn would have such a nice songs in the first place (after all what's the best audio experience in porn is moaning, huh?)

It's from ebod-206 (ebody-tia).

tehee, I used sb's facebook account to upload the song to soundcloud as I don't have one

Proposal

I think saying "Will you marry me?" is just outdated--more or less being cliche, but certainly this one won't become obsolete.

I've been thinking of what I should I say when I have to. Then it comes up to some such stupid ones like:
- "Rather than letting only God knows, should we let people know?",
- "Would you let me lead your climbs? I don't know about the sprints though",
- "Shall I be your aspirin? You can be my theophylline"

After realizing that I'm such a retard, I think I'd just do it the vanilla way.

Romantic?

Speaking of Titanic, you can always remember the scene with the protagonist couple hugging in the ship's bow, feeling the wind blowing (at 6 knot?), I suppose that's what most people calls "romantic".

I've come up with slightly different view for what's the most romantic moment that could happen to myself:
with some (pretty hard) rain, on the summit of Cat1 climb where I led the whole ascend, we just stopped and had 3 mins hug and a simple kiss, she then led the descend afterwards.

To me sense of romance is about "exchanging things", thus the scene features some exchanges:
- saliva: (kiss: just make sure we both open our mouth widely),
- body heat (hug: due to the rain and different riding position, it'll **feel** more apparent),
- sweat (hug: you can barely tell which [dilluted with rain] sweat drop is whose at the points of body contact),
- lead (different leader on the ascend and descend).

 Blah! But exchanging helmets, gloves, or bike--I feel--won't make it more romantic. I suppose it just works on uncountable things. Anyway, making it HC climb or more expensive bike won't do much diffrence.

---------
Wait, if porn features kisses, hugs, exchanges of lead (the one who moves more frantically), why just because the actress is camera-aware for 2 secs, the whole 30 mins video is rather **unromantic**.
--------

Nah, let me correct myself: being romantic is showing your true colors

Special Day

What a special day to me:
- Ied al-Fitri,
- (a day) after Indonesian Independence day,
- 1st anniversary with my current bike,
- Vuelta,
and I've set up my box with IPv6 :D

SATA hotswap

Hotswapping SATA drives, be it ODD or HDD, is easy on Linux.

To detect newly attached drive:
echo "0 0 0" > /sys/class/scsi_host/host?/scan"
(its permission is 200, write-only only to root)
The host? reflects SATA channel number.

To safely dismount the drive:
echo 0 > /sys/block/sd?/device/delete
The sd? is hdd's device identifier.

Cheap(skate) Flashdrives

I'm sure we are familiar with flash drives, and they're getting cheaper and cheaper every year. There are several reasons that flash drives become cheaper:
- cheaper materials,
- cheaper manufacturing cost (V/ULSI),
- cheaper labor (pity those guys in China),
- cheaper distribution chain (so many computer stores around),
+ being 'cheapskate'.



In January I purchased Kingston DTIG3/8G. Let's grab fdisk to tell us about its actual user-addressable capacity.


Disk /dev/sdc: 8010 MB, 8010194944 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 973 cylinders, total 15644912 sectors

Recently I purchased the very same model from the same store, 6 months after the earlier purchase, in a way I feel like I've been being ripped off. See what I've got.

Disk /dev/sdb: 7784 MB, 7784628224 bytes
192 heads, 30 sectors/track, 2639 cylinders, total 15204352 sectors

To me 7784 MB is barely 8GB, duh!

Le Tour: Team Sky

Team Sky Pro Cycling has  it overkill this year on TdF. The squad is (un-)heralded to be the best super team (and likely the most expensive squad, in a way). They've got World champ, several national champs (and ex-national champs); and the yellow helmet is just funny :)




Yellow for Wiggins
Bradley Wiggins's always been top GC contender, hasn't thing gone wrong the final yellow jersey should go for him.

Green for Cavendish
Sagan, Goss, Griepel, Petachi: yet we can't deny that Cav is amazingly fast in the last 100m.

Polka-dot for Froome
This one doesn't sound quite right, there's still Movistar, Euskaltel, FDJ, Schleck and Sanchez.
 
White for Boasson Hagen
 Why not?
 

Too bad they lost Siutsov.

Soundcloud, anyone?

Soundcloud is just amazing, you just can listen and download almost any music you'd like.


And a little hack from me, you can always download the track: find the stream token in the page's source, such as:

http://media.soundcloud.com/stream/4zX19lYZadAV?stream_token=uFBK5

It'll redirect you to the song's file :) Else, you can use addons for your browser to download 'undownloadable' tracks.

Dubstep is just cool the first 40 hours you're listening into it, it mostly sucks afterwards.

Magnet links on Nightlies

Open about:config page;
type in network.protocol-handler.expose.magnet as boolean value set to 'false',
you're good to go. It'll gives you protocol association windows the next time you open magnet links.

IMHO, It's definitely the easiest way to associate new protocol in later versions of Firefox (which come with confusing rapid release scheme in the package :D ).

Thanks to ArchWiki.
 ____
Anyway, I've never really liked the idea about Firefox's rapid release development: just knowing your build number is bigger has nothing to do with the software's reliability, no?

You're screwed up if you don't think this one is awesome.

Idol Group turn Pedophile on

Just until today, I **sanely** thought idol group would just singing around wearing certain-themed (school, lolita, casual) decent clothing in their music video, and those whose photobooks including bikinis is just 'side activities'.

But it turns out that I were completely wrong: they wear slutty-looking lingerie in their music video! DAMN!

Thank God it's not female-to-female French kiss, after 'cat-to-cat' kiss and bathtub duo, what could be worse?

So who are their audiences? Pedophiles?

Shakariki

I've always a huge fan of cycling movies, but Shakariki has it too much.

It's a good movie overall: a lot of bicycles, spirit, and of course--cute female supporting character. But to some extend, some scene over-exaggerates the cycling aspects: making the characters look like some super athlete like Contador or Schlecks.

See:
The main protagonist was forcing himself to run the way after his teammate (captain) suffered from puncture. Running on climb with cleat-equipped pedal is just reckless: it's just easy to lose the grip and balance. Moreover, the steep climb was just 'too-much', if you tilt your display correctly according to how trees grow--you'll find the gradient was much easier.

D'oh!

Fira: Her First Pictures

Yesterday I went to Coban Rondo with my not-so-new 2011 Helios 100. The ride takes about one hour and half--who really cares--it was recreational, no? (at least no one overtaked me during the whole ride)

She arrived at August 18th, then I started riding with her by late of September. I hadn't taken any pictures of her--not just until yesterday :)



Anyway, by the (long) descent in Payung I had puncture in rear wheel. I'm just grateful that I didn't crash from it.

Sorry for the bad pictures, I took the photos with (cheap) cellphone's camera.

Yosuga no Sora (complete save game)

I've been a huge fan of visual novels myself--it's also the reason why I never convert my whole boxes to Linux. So here's one of my favorite: Yosuga no Sora.



The story revolves around siblings which develop certain degree of (possible-then-to-be-so-called-incest) love. And yeah, it's harem. :D

I've completed the game (though I can't read Japanese without looking at those character tables), so here's the completed save game (it gives you full access to full CG library anyway). Place the file in C:\Documents and Settings\~username-here\Application Data\Sphere\Yosuga\save (in WindowsXP, I don't know where to place in another Windows version).

I won't encourage you to download the game *illegally*, but I'd like to say you can fetch it from here.

Broken RDs

I broke a friend of mine's rear derailer--it's Acera--quite some time ago, and recently 2300 of my own.

The story is simple, they have different 'break point' so I just assemble them at different hinges. So:
+ =

But, uhmm... the inside hinge (the one closer to the frame) is tilted too much, and likely renders the derailer unusable.
