Opera Unite (Our New Vanguard?)

2009-06-18T23:13:00.000-07:00

Just spent a good hour playing around with Opera Unite--the highly publisized web browser widget that gives the Opera web browser basic web server functionality with almost no learning curve. First impressions certainly include a certain WOW factor that isn't to be had with traditional server software that usually leaves one tired and angry with the world... The process from installation to operation was extremely short and instantly gratifying (which being currently addicted to Discovery's Pitch Men series) is quite brilliant.

Now these are certainly first impressions and much more thorough thought has been put into this product: like these fine articles,

InfoWorld
Wired

Or for those more numerically inclined (Mmm graphs) http://unitehowto.com/Performance

I only read the InfoWorld article and from my perspective I think it misses the point. Opera Unite provides an extremely easy to use/functional webserver for those serious persons not given to the facebook[s] and myspace[s].

But the bottom line is would I run this as a 24/7 webserver? Probably not... Unless not until its proven by the online masses. To me web serving is still about dedicating hardware; exactly the wrong answer when it comes to Unite.

So to end this rather long post... LLOOOK a picture!

Having lived entirely in math land for several years now, I've found Mathematica to be an indispensable tool for performing those mathemagics. But some people (me) cannot afford a Mathematica license so I went looking for an open source alternative. The software I found is called Sage and is an adequate python based symbolic manipulation, calculus, etc. total package; however, it does require a rather long build process...

From ars technica:

"How many times have you stumbled home after a long night out with friends, only to plop down in front of the computer and start sending e-mails that you would wake up regretting the next day? OK, maybe some of our older readers in the crowd have never moved beyond "drunk dialing," but many of us are probably more familiar with the embarrassing phenomenon, a technological evolution of the drunk dial. Thanks to a new project out of Google Labs, however, you can at least stop yourself from sending "impaired" e-mails during certain hours."

Final Geass - SPOILER

2008-09-28T22:25:00.000-07:00

Spoiler *** Scroll over text to reveal:

The final episode of Code Geass aired very recently and I think the writers gave the most acceptable ending possible (Zero Requiem). Everyone had high hopes of high body counts; but it wasn't really meant to be... Overall, Code Geass is one of the best animes a collaboration between companies has produced. The only problem is the shallowness of having only 50 episodes present the content of easily twice that many.

Oh, and here's the RANT. In the episodes portraying the decisive battle for Tokyo between the Black Knights and Schnizel the ending of Suzaku firing Freya makes NO SENSE. Given that Orange-kun had joined Lulu on the side of *justice* and basic premises of Lelouch's strategic ability it's hard to believe Lelouch would have not given the order to dispell Suzaku's "live" geass. Having believed Suzaku just tried to betray him to Schnizel, Lelouch would not have been holding any lingering loyalty to any friendship. Then again, killing millions with Freya finally made Suzaku less of an EMO-hypocratic-punk-ass-b*t*h.

From dannychoo.com "Blythe Dolls" (WARNING DO NOT FOLLOW LINK IF YOU ARE PRONE TO NIGHTMARES)

I originally came to the conclusion that there were 4 types of male Otaku.

* 1.Prefers 3D (real human like Idols) girls.
* 2.Prefers 2D (anime, eroge, illustration) girls.
* 3.Prefers dolls (Candy Girl etc).
* 4.Prefers hybrid mix of 3D and 2D (Anigao Girls) girls.

Today I discovered via Jyohoya that there seems to be another type - the otaku who prefers a hybrid mix of 3D human and dolls...

Seven Seas Strawberry Panic Disappointment

2007-12-10T12:00:00.001-08:00

BOAS is saddened by the unprofessional actions of Seven Seas to publish Strawberry Panic manga. The release dates posted on their website have changed from Nov. 07 to Dec. 07 with no date attached to either month. Worse, their "official" posting on amazon.com has pushed the "date" back from Dec. 11th to Dec. 23rd just one day before the original release date. This string of disappointments is really showing how this publisher isn't to the standard of quality shown by companies like VIZ and Tokyopop.

As a promotion for the new television anime series Clannad, visitors to Japan Railways' Akihabara Station in October can pick up an unusual special edition snack: Clannad Canned Bread.

The bread is being sold in and around the station area at a cost of 350 yen (about US$3.20) per can. Some of the bread is being sold from vending machines. The packaging is similar to the canned oden often sold in the Akihabara area, but the bread itself draws inspiration from the bread shops seen in the Clannad series. The bread is available in seven flavors: chocolate, green tea, strawberry, butter, raisin, blueberry, and milk. The company responsible for developing and selling the bread is Pan Akimoto, who first developed the canned pastries in the wake of the Hanshin Awaji earthquake that struck the Kobe area in 1995.

Kawada Mami 'Get My Way' Single

2007-08-07T20:37:00.000-07:00

The second ending song for Hayate no Gotoku!

Baccano

2007-08-01T22:07:00.000-07:00

New anime -- something about a train and alchemy; but it's really all about the characters. It's like they've got pizazz! A good number of very familiar seiyuu (VA) appear.

Watch the PV on YouTube

Mononoke

2007-07-29T15:32:00.000-07:00

A "new" anime that is really a spin-off from Ayakashi ~ Classic Japanese Horror Bakeneko; we once again see the deeds of the exorcising traveling medicine seller.

End of the Rebellion

2007-07-29T09:55:00.001-07:00

Remember that the delayed season finale to Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion aired yesterday at an obscene hour. Be sure to catch it at a more humane time soon!

LILO L 01 01 99 99 !!! &^@!%

So did a install of Mandriva Linux on a really old Dell PC (Ubuntu was not working). That damn boot loader LILO gave me so many problems with their L 01 01 99 99 crap. The solution was to go to grub!

And you ask why its so popular!?

Zetsubou Sensei

2007-07-14T21:18:00.001-07:00

A new anime that's got some serious 20s charm in a rather depressing (totally not Charleston way). Yet so beautiful.

ADV to Publish AIR TV

2007-07-07T20:05:00.001-07:00

Just got whiff of this but ADVfilms is set to release the AIR TV anime series starting 8/14/2007. They're taking preorders right now! BOAS could not be happier.

NANA DAY 7/7/07

2007-07-07T00:01:00.000-07:00

Happy Nana Day Everyone!

To celebrate BOAS has been falling in love with the VIZ domestic release of Nana; but... IN volume 3 on page 38 in the bottom right hand corner the translation states that Naoki is the bassist for Trapnest. What a glaring TYPO. Are we supposed to believe Hachi doesn't even know that Takumi plays the bass even though he is her favorite member at that time?

May Ai Yazawa's pure creation capture generations to come.

(It's the will of the demon lord ^_^)

Stop Tazmo

2007-07-06T19:31:00.000-07:00

BS latest release of Naruto contained this little easter egg. The fan community for manga and anime was built off of something free and easily available to everyone with NO ONE profiting off it. Not only has this provided a plethora of exposure to creativity it has also developed into a healthy business model.Follow Up (7/8/07) Manga Updates has posted this draft on their front page and are telling fans to stop supporting narutofan.com

Hidamari Sketch ~ Toukubetsu Hen

2007-06-26T22:53:00.000-07:00

New radio drama from the very talented seiyuu of Hidamari Sketch. Massugu GO! (listen and you'll understand).

ARIA of My Vacation

2007-06-26T22:48:00.001-07:00

BOAS just spent some wonderful memories with ARIA the Natural that pretty much constitute the entirety of my vacation this summer. That may sound BAD; but let me remind you of the feeling you get after a real vacation (I need a vacation). At least AQUA isn't some kind of Kincaid Antiguan pseudo-paradise. May ARIA sing out gently to your hearts in need of R&R ^_^

とび魚のバタフライ / 世界が終わる夜に

2007-06-21T22:08:00.000-07:00

New Single from Chatmonchy--you know that Japanese chick band that did the ending for Hataraki Man.

Touka Gettan OP/ED Singles

2007-06-19T21:51:00.000-07:00

Opening better than ending; good bonus tracks on both singles.

Rozen Maiden

2007-06-12T17:52:00.000-07:00

BOAS caught an banner ad for the US release of Rozen Maiden Vol 1 from Geneon and I swear the subtitle was "Some dolls you just don't play with". Who writes this stuff? Personally, I would have went with "because we're man enough to watch other men play with dolls" (>_<)
