Dest’s Blog

Hi,

A slight update to the blog. As most of you may have notice, we have a flash mp3 player on the sidebar!. The flash mp3 player was made by Jeoren Wijering which you can reach his website here. The hard part was obtaining his flash mp3 player 3.3, which i couldn’t find at all on his website. I’ve used a version 2.3 on my previous blog, and now when I tried to get it, it’s gone. Not only that, a quick search in google shows that most warez sites such as softpedia only has an external link to the mp3 player which is his website, but it also leads to the FLV player. So i’m surprised, the flash mp3 player 2.3 that I’ve used before is surprisingly good.

My dad once used an Acer Travelmate 250 as his working laptop until it started shutting down by itself. He went to a computer shop and they suggested to replace the motherboard. But instead, he went and buy a new laptop as it’s already been 4 years. Anyways, i had the chance to use the laptop and from the tests I made, I was sure it’s an overheating problem as the top right corner will be very hot right before it shuts down, while the fan will spin vigorously. This happens when I run a very CPU intensive program, when it reaches 100% for a few seconds, the fan spins and it shuts down. You might also notice that there’s not much or even none air coming out of the vent at the side, only thing you can feel is heat radiation. So once I knew the problem, then comes the fixing, which is what I’m showing today.

Firstly, select a well lit place, not too bright, not too dark, have a lot of free space around you and all. Then prepare some tools, a torchlight, big screwdrivers(both types, the + and -), a small screwdrivers set, containers to store the screws and items that you’re gonna remove from the laptop. And to simplify the process, some magnets.

         Just finished watching the ninth episode of Gundam 00 Season 2. What I could say that this episode is quite interesting as the plot continues to thicken. What sads me is that the battle between Setsuna, Tieria and and Ali Al Sarchez went a little too quick. Things went past fast and it lasted less than 5 minutes to be exact. Everyone started knowing each other more and Tieria’s plot starts to get deeper as more Innovators and their names are revealed. I’m also amazed how weak the Gundams are becoming every episode, especially 00. Still after all these episodes, I still think the best episode is the episode where they save Allelujah, superb action

How to Add Avatars to Personal Wordpress Blogs

This is my first post after some time so bear with me.

So to anybody who’s installing a custom wordpress blog at their private server instead of a free wordpress.com blog or a paid hosting at wordpress.com, this is a problem. I didn’t notice that the avatar option was missing, (it was there when I used my old blog at wordpress.com) until one of my friends asked me about it. Since I’m new to wordpress, let’s do this then. We’ll be based on the guide from here.

Firstly, to those who were from Wordpress.com, like me, you’re most probably had your avatar already. This avatar, is kept by Gravatar which is bought by Automattic (Wordpress). Therefore if you use ANY e-mail to register at a wordpress.com blog, you avatar shall appear. Pretty good huh?

To do this, you must register at gravatar’s Website. After registering, upload a picture to your account. Remember that a picture that is ’square’ sized and has contrast is the best. Once uploaded, you’ll have that image tagged with you e-mail.

Next I suggest installing a gravatar plugin, a good one would be Wordpress Gravatars. On a site note, i also suggest installing Plugin Manager. It makes installing plugin a hell lotta easier!. Once installed, go to Gravatars tab, and set the settings you want. I suggest disabling the the gravatars for comment on top, then move to below, set the gravatar CSS under Alignment/Placement and size to 40px instead of 80px and set the size of gravatars to 80. This way, the avatars will show nicely in most templates without any errors. After that click update, but make sure to check back again as the settings might change back for some reasons.

Another thing is that you can set a custom avatar for yourself by just changing the default avatar link.

That’s all for now, I’ll post any updates if available,

Hello world, guess this is the third time I’ve said this…, from my previous blog, i have moved to this new blog, where my school server hosts. It took me some time to install Wordpress despite the 5 minutes installation that they mention, all due to my error when setting up a subdomain. In any case, I’ve installed a new theme and new stuffs should appear soon.

After a few days, I’ll actively start blogging again, this time, for sure. The posts in my old blog has been deleted and moved here. Therefor visitors should be redirected here soon. In a few days, i’ll blog about stuffs that I like XD, until then,

To visitors who came here through my old blog, please use the search button at the upper right to look for what you want. If you’re looking for Bitcomet, then click HERE.

Thank you

As I mentioned in my previous post, I’m trying out a new anime. This is one of them.

Well, when I first see this anime, it’s quite…er… ok. There’s a guy, with 2 girls, who runs around while the girl gets chased by men…. sounds familiar to me, just like the opposite of Nagasarete Airantou combined with Shuffle!. At first it seems just like any normal anime, and i was getting real bored. But soon, the show starts to take its pace with the girl’s arrival. The story seems really interesting, and if you don’t mind watching Shuffle! or Chobits then you’re sure to be fine with this. So far, it doesn’t reach the viewing rating of School Days, so it’s quite cool. The show’s quite nice actually, and funny some times. I’ve downloaded 3 more episodes after watching this, I’ll be watching them soon

Greetings, after a few months, time to rewrite my blog.

first of all, animes! the October season promises a lot of nice animes. Frankly I’ve been having trouble choosing which to keep and which not to, because this isn’t summer or spring anime, it’s October! I’m only worried of my hard disk space for now, haha. Therefore, here’s the few animes i’m currently watching

First off

Shakugan no Shana Second

Firstly, this series, is one of the best I’ve seen so far. The first season has already made me addicted to it, and now!, when they announced the second season at 31st march, i can’t wait for it and finally it’s here!.
Episode 1: Basically a recap of the entire last season. They tried hard to make it not to look like a recap and i have to give credit to them a lot. It’s a nice first episode, and did i mention the OP rocks like hell!! Besides that, seeing shana again is enough to make me watch the entire series. As usual, Shakugan no Shana series has the top quality graphics and music. These are the animes that are really worth watching. Besides, this is way better than zero no tsukaima which is also made by jc staff.
Episode 2: Things starts to get serious in this episode, they actually continued the recap from the previous episode, well it’s not a recap, but just something to follow up but it’s really worth watching. In this episode they introduced the keeper in reiji maigo, i wont explain how (spoilers) XD This episode is better than the first, seeing shana slice the tomogara looks nice ^^
Episode 3: Okay…don’t freak out but this time a new character will appear and its really nice and refreshing, a must watch.
Episode 4: okay this episode is quite interesting too. We can see both shana and kazumi getting jealous and it’s really funny.

Well, up to now, there’s not much fighting going on, much to love. let’s hope ti doesn’t go too far with it, because i wanna see some guze no tomogara get kicked that’s for sure! Besides that i’m waiting for the more interesting part of this season. seems like i’ll be having a good end of year holidays this time ^^ Besides, not to mention the new season comes in HD ( High Definition)! OMFG, this is sooo cool!

Gundam 00

Hey, i’m a huge huge gundam fan! and the announcement of a new installment of gundam seems very nice to me. Frankly i didn’t even know it’s release date, unlike Shakugan no Shana Second. So when i found the torrent, i got the HD version straight away, there’s alot of peers and seeders too!

Overview
hey!, nice OP! The new OP doesn’t comes witht he usual gundam flying to you and brandishing whatever it has! So this is indeed a huge improvement! The graphics quality increase significantly since seed and destiny. But, the story is somewhat confusing. Someone who just watched the first episode might not know what it’s about anyways, and it seems lame and er… looks alot like gundam wing etc att he frist episode, but later in episode 2,3 and 4, they started taking action! Not only that, there’s the emo main character who’s cold towards his neighbour ( not sure if the neighbour plays an important role or not). After some time, this show is mostly one sided, an overwhelming GUNDAM faction that wins over 3 major ones. But in episode 4, oh wow! things starts to get even. The main character had to submerge to avoid another pilot who chased after his gundam with TWICE the speed, wow! Things really starts to get interesting! So make sure to check it out!

The above 2 animes are the animes i’m enjoying the most! and is a sure to stay in my hard disk and be burned to dvd. Besides those 2, i’m also watching others animes…..
