Internet saved the radio-star
Just finished a paper on web-semantics. Sent it via the internal campus-system, to some better known as BlackBoard. The beauty of the system being one has got global user-accounts. The downside being people can fill in anything they want. >__> And thus I've already had several bounced e-mails.
I've contacted the Engrish-assistant about this, asking for a list of e-mail addresses. Hopefully this can be resolved soon.
Time for some distraction for all. Another neat game, namely EveryExtend. Another shoot'm up, but with a twist. Instead of shooting you self-destruct, hoping to take enemies out with you. There's a time-limit and you've got a limited amount of lives, though both can be increased by catching bonus-items. There are Big-Ass-Bosses(tm), neat 3D graphics and okay music. And it's free, around a 10Meg download.
The manual is in Japanese though, lets just say use the cursor-keys to move and "Z" to self-destruct. ;)
I've been listening to radio-streams these past few days. There's quite some nifty things out there. Aside from the usual things such as Nectarine there's comedy, classical, talk, jpop and general fun-stuff out there of which I knew nothing. The only gripe being that some stations use scripts to auto-generate playlists and incorporate a unique listener-ID to keep track of their streams, which makes saving the playlist a bit harder. The obvious work-around: let your playlist point directly to the script, rather than the stream. The BBC is especially notorious for using this system.
Random: I can't believe I once forked over 50 euro's for a processor upgrade... from 3.5MHz to 7MHz. Which in those days was godlike! :D
Edit: Another annoyance of BlackBoard. Despite whatever settings, it keeps on sending me a copy of my own e-mail. What's up with that? <__< *sigh*
