Trap-formers

So… what’s the takeaway from Transformers 2?

Even if you’ve conquered nanotechnology, the-art-of-making-giant-mecha, underwater as well as space operation, system hacking and subterfuge, and even mastered the art of making traps-with-tails… you will still lose to kung-fu.

And also, the movie’s internal project name was actually Megan Fox and some fleshbags (and a bunch of Transformers). But it was quite a mouthful so they shortened it to just Transformers instead. True story.

Do you want to save before you quit?

Waaahhhhh. What a dramatic month this has been. Anyway, I hope you’re all enjoying the new site (although little has changed apart from the array of errors that many of you have encountered). We hope to be resuming normal services shortly so don’t fret ^^

[Site]
I’ve received several PMs asking why donations are closed. It says why in the announcements and the donation page, but I’ll explain here anyway. When a sufficient amount of donations to pay the server bill and any miscallaneous costs associated with keeping the site afloat is met, then donations are closed until the next server bill is payed. This is illustrated on a chart that is linked on the donation page. The site admins wanted to stress transparency in regards to donations, so don’t worry about your donations disappearing on you =]

[Life]
As some of you may know, I graduated from high school a few weeks ago and I’ve just turned 18. I’m going to [insert undisclosed university here] next year, but I’m still taking summer classes at the local community college. Anatomy + Japanese.

Anyways, I’m out of time. Bye~

The behaviour of some users

It seems that some users believe that they are more important than others just because they can offer something that Box doesn’t already have, or is not easily acquirable over the great intarwebs.

This does not give you license to ignore our rules.

This does not give you license to insult staff.

I would like to leave you with this picture, which essentially sums up the matter:

The Loli of Troy

How do you make a Trojan that nobody can remove? By making them not want to remove it, of course!

Random Idea #34
1. Write a Trojan
2. Incorporate it into a desktop loli app that puts a loli character on your desktop
3. Give it voice capability with speech bubbles
4. Idea from Libresse: “damn it kureshii what if it moaned each time you’d try to kill the process?”

Enjoy your information network, courtesy of your loli-controlled users 😀

Boxtorrents Description Generator (for OSTs)

So, this last week or so I’ve been working on a Python script to dynamically generate descriptions for large OST sets.  With Chiya continually pestering me, it’s finally gotten to something half-releasable, so I thought I’d share it with y’all.

You can find it here; so far, I’ve only written up installation instructions for Windows, which you can find in the INSTALL file (gee whiz!).

It uses a templating system, so there is flexibility for adding new templates in the future.  Right now, the only one I have is Rorando’s, so if you feel bored, I’m very open to contributions.

There’s also an issue tracker for the project on GitHub, so suggestions/bugs are welcome there.  Even installation notes for OS X / Linux would be fantastic, or usage notes for all systems, although I’m hoping to do some of that tonight.

Mmk, I think that’s all.

Oh, sample usage is “bxt_description_generator.py some_folder rorando.html > description.html”.
