TwigZone's a-go now!

Haxy — Mon, 23 Jul 2012 17:54:24 GMT

TwigZone's moved to a better place, and so does this blog.

The blog's going to be left as is, as an archive, but no more.

Maybe I should get a real blog provider

Since I'll probably doing my blogging from Word 2013 from now on (that's right), well...

WordPress Web address: WordPress.com — Get a Free Blog Here

Blogger Web address: http://www.blogger.com

TypePad Web address: Typepad. Share your passions with the world. | Typepad

Well, which one would work well for me? I think I'll also do my own research while you guys pour in the comments.

Earlier this week, I wiped Windows off my Mac...

Haxy — Thu, 19 Jul 2012 10:13:00 GMT

...and when I tried to reinstall Windows, I noticed that I don't have any blank DVDs or USB sticks around, seeing as I'm living in my uncle's home for the week.

This was the time when I started to learn OS X deeply.

I've begun to actually love it.

Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

Steam Summer Sale?

Haxy — Fri, 13 Jul 2012 09:47:54 GMT

Good news: I bought Portal 2 after forever.

Bad news: I had to nuke Civilization V on my disk.

SSDs are hard, huh?

Google Chrome?

Convince me to switch back to it. Have you what it takes to do so? There's a long story, but I'll let this run for a while.

I thought Bulbagarden Forums isn't Facebook.

Haxy — Wed, 11 Jul 2012 14:02:57 GMT

After the update, the first thing after checking out the announcement was to head to my profile.

Oh my god.

The "My Activity" tab is now the default, and now I have too much information in my hands.

It's getting uncomfortably like Facebook at this point... >.<

Dropbox account: deleted.

Haxy — Fri, 06 Jul 2012 10:29:39 GMT

Might as well, considering that if I were not to delete it, I'd have three cloud storage services running.

Dropbox, SkyDrive, and SugarSync.

I'm throwing Dropbox out because it's redundant at this point. SkyDrive is used for everything that I have to have access to anywhere, even from my phone, while SugarSync is more for university work.

So long.

According to my address, I live in House 493.

This can only be a normal thing.

I'm a WP

Haxy — Tue, 26 Jun 2012 12:07:48 GMT

This is what happens when the Samsung Galaxy S III went out of stock while I was signing up for a contract.

Well, it's miles better than my old phone, that's for sure.

What should I blog about?

Haxy — Sun, 03 Jun 2012 15:56:22 GMT

I think I'm running out of things to blog.

Time to let you guys fire away with your own suggestions.

I'll pick what I like the most...

Or maybe I'll do all of them in order?

The Papyrus font is now gone in Windows 8

Haxy — Sat, 02 Jun 2012 06:34:44 GMT

Good riddance? That font sure looked out of place, then again. I do think that anything using that font will look screwed up on computers running Windows 8 or later...

Also, one neat things I have noticed is that Comic Sans MS now has true italics, and not merely slanted letterforms. It's especially noticeable with its lowercase t's.

Strange things for today, eh?

Haxy — Fri, 01 Jun 2012 09:26:14 GMT

As it turns out, the day I was accepted to some university was also the day I first encountered a site where browsers too modern will screw up.

Good news: I'm now studying in Computer Science.

Bad news: Why do I have to bother with IE7 Compat Mode while logging in for student pass stuff? Then again, maintaining websites must be hard enough as is.

Too much time = a completely different avatar

Haxy — Thu, 31 May 2012 06:00:46 GMT

Meet... uh, Twiggon?

Since people said that it needed colour...

Haxy — Wed, 23 May 2012 11:57:05 GMT

How's that for colour?

~~Don't tell anyone that I coloured the 4000-px rasterized variant because I prefer using multiplicative blending to colour things~~

Because I was too bored yesterday, so I whipped this out of Inkscape.

Haxy — Tue, 22 May 2012 14:43:43 GMT

1203x2000 pixels, though. It's a large image, exported as a PNG. If anyone wants the original SVG file, feel free to PM me.

TUUUUUUUURT?
