This is from an interview with Gareth David-Lloyd (a.k.a. Ianto) that I stumbled upon today.

AE: [...] One thing we found really interesting is that there are a lot of female fans who are really into the idea of two men being together romantically. Do you have a lot of female fans that are pushing for a relationship between Jack and Ianto?

GDL: Oh, definitely. I try to stay clear away from the Internet, but you find yourself reading fan fiction and it takes up a lot of time. Yeah, absolutely. That’s definitely one of the biggest questions for fans as far as Janto. Everyone’s for Jack and Ianto to get together.

End of Eternity / Resonance of Fate

2009-12-07T12:07:03Z

I have been holding off very hard on the end of year posts, but I can't resist any more. So here is the first of a series (of one post) of what I am looking forward to next year!

Answer: the Sega + tri-Ace game End of Eternity, known outside Japan as Resonance of Fate (curse you Asimov!). EoE looks deliciously steampunk and only has two fanbait characters. (Click on pictures to enlarge.)

Zomg yes

The quiet emo type

She's 21, guys!

However much I appreciate the lack of fanbait, this doesn't mean I won't jump on fanbait machine Final Fantasy versus XIII as soon as development actually goes somewhere. (However, EoE looks much more interesting.) Also, this doesn't mean I've discounted old man Vashyron* as Estrogen Brigade Bait or GAR inducer.

* Old by J-RPG and anime standards; he's 26.

Old.

The official website takes brutal time to load. I timed it - 3.5 minutes initial load time, and another 10 seconds per page. Dear web developers, I will never experience nostalgia for my 56k modem. But tabbed browsing was invented for a reason, and as my screen caps can attest it was totally worth it:

Despite the pretty, the battle system looks like it will cause me undue amounts of pain. I don't understand why a gun-based game would be an RPG and not a shooter. Well, what I actually said was "WE HAVE GODDAMN GUNS AS WEAPONS JUST LET ME POINT AND SHOOT", to which Clarence tsked and replied, "sounding kinda FPS there". I guess I'll have to play 5 more hours of Golden Sun to make up for my indomitable heretic ways.

To conclude: I'll be sorely disappointed if this game sucks.

A rant on Javascript (and some other things)

2009-11-22T03:09:12Z

1. Stars will be playing at the Orpheum on Feb 19th.

2. I am seriously contemplating spending money on getting a webhost. Why.

3. Why the hell are there so many Javascript libraries? Just considering the ones Google thinks are important enough to provide: jQuery + jQuery UI, Prototype + Scriptaculous, YUI, MooTools, and Dojo—that's five. I've been looking at the first two, and I'm still not sure what exactly is in either of them, although Scriptaculous gets points for having a nice summary page with demos of everything.

Honestly, I've been writing my own versions of various core library functions just because (a) I can't figure out which one to use, (b) I don't need the whole library, so really I'm saving on load time (although I do need to start using a code minimalizer), and (c) if I'm careful about how I program, I can beat using an external library speed-wise. That said, I noticed recently that I probably need to build my own JS library, because there are certain functions that I reuse really often. And it was at that point that I started seriously considering using an actual JS library after all.

The real problem is, Javascript is broken. It isn't OO, but you can fake OO (many JS programmers do). There's plenty of deprecated ways to do things that programmers shouldn't use, but use anyway because they're the easy way and guaranteed to be backwards-compatible. Javascript grants too much power to the website (pop-up ads, auto-redirects, etc.). There's a different way to do things for MSIE and not-MSIE, usually because Microsoft came up with a way to do things that the W3C didn't like—and sometimes, both of them suck. This led to people writing Javascript libraries to make up for these deficiencies, which is like wrapping a leaking pipe in duct tape—only works if you're Red Green. Sometimes I think we should just come up with an entirely new paradigm for webpages, rather than old rickety (X)HTML + Javascript + CSS. (Please don't get me wrong about CSS, I adore CSS, but it pales in comparison to LESS which is only in its infancy.)

I have no idea why this post ended up a screed against Javascript, but there you go.

2009 Skate Canada Men's Final

2009-11-21T23:27:33Z

Despite Skate Canada being pushed back to 4th event of the season, which I usually never watch (sorry Cups of Russia and China), it seems I ended up watching it anyway. Which begs the question - how the bleep did I miss Plushenko. I better not miss Europeans this year.

Samuel Contesti (Italy): Nooo, not pan-piped Andean music. He skates well but slowly, and had the audience clapping along during the footwork sequences.

Patrick Chan (Canada): Started off really well, but then nearly performed a split falling out of his second triple axel (really unusual) and it was all downhill from there. Music, Phantom of the Opera.

Michal Březina (Czech Republic): Gershwin? Lots of edges and lunges? It's like Jeffrey Buttle reincarnated! Actually, Březina is a huge Jeff Buttle fanboy, and apparently was trying to meet Buttle all week - Skate Canada was in Kitchener and Buttle lives in T.O. when he's not doing skating exhibitions. Březina doesn't have the same presence on the ice though. First year on senior circuit.

Alban Preaubert (France): He was rocking out to the Rolling Stones while pulling jumps out of nowhere - awesome. He doesn't have good jumping technique, but does great jumps nonetheless.

Denis Ten (Kazakhstan!!): This guy looks like he has a lot of promise, although his jumping consistency is still a bit - eh. But he's 16 and it's his first year in the senior levels - plenty of time. Skated to Pasodoble, as people are prone to do. Fun fact: his great-great-grandfather was a general of the Korean empire. (Korean-Kazakh = Added Alliterative Appeal?)

Takahashi Daisuke (Japan, no rly): He started off by "waking up and getting out of bed" - so lulsy. And later he flirted with the judges - even more lulz. With such an entertaining program, you forget how hard (and how long) the program is. Music, La Strada - what is it with the classics this season? Probably means there were no good movie soundtracks. Anyway, someone gave him a bunch of bananas plush toy, pfft.

Jeremy Abbott (USA): Beautiful sharp, tight quad to start off with, then he lost focus for a while. Enough DRAMATIC SKATING to make up for the rest of the final flight.

So barring any injuries, the Grand Prix finals will have:

Oda Nobunari (Japan)
Evan Lysacek (USA)
Brian Joubert (France)
Jeremy Abbott (USA)
Takahashi Daisuke (Japan)
Johnny Weir (USA)

Let's hope that NBC doesn't have the bright idea to interview Evan Lysecek and Johnny Weir together again.

Symptoms of Sleep Deprivation

2009-11-19T04:50:16Z

1. me: Where's my wallet?
Ivan: You told me to put it in your backpack just now, so I did.
me: I did?

2. "Squee, pretty Tsubasa pictures! What, Tsubasa has ended? Nooooooooo—

"Wait a minute, I'm not in the fandom, am I."

3. "What the **** is a const function!?! ... Damn it, I just looked this up last week."

4. Instead of figuring out which of the surplus of Javascript libraries to use, I coded my own "multi-select tags to display items" function. It's working fine, but the way it handles CSS is not quite flexible enough, so I will be working on that.

Chinese Historical Drama Drinking Game

2009-10-03T02:59:32Z

Because Chinese dramas are beh tahan. It needs some work.

Take a shot:

At the beginning if it's ~~dubbed~~ voiced over
- Take an extra shot if two or more characters have the exact same voice
Per flashback scene
Every time someone talks to a wall or window
Every time someone talks in poetry
- Take an extra shot if it goes on for more than a minute
Every single time a woman cries
- Take an extra shot if she runs away while crying
  - Take an extra shot if someone yells at her to come back
Every time hair is cut
Per arranged marraige
- Take an extra shot per broken engagement
Per fight scene, per episode
- Take an extra shot if they are using chi
For every scene with one or more horses
Whenever a major character is hit by an arrow
- Take an extra shot if the scene was in slow motion
Whenever someone is backstabbed
Whenever someone is executed

ETA - more from animagus:

Every time the music builds up and you're expecting something else to happen, only to abruptly land in the beginning of a totally different scene
Every time some one is stunned/paralyzed with one strategic touch
Every time some one is revived from being stunned/paralyzed with more strategic touching

The tangent of a tangent of a tangent

2009-09-30T04:11:09Z

Alan's first tangent was on agency funding, the tangent of that was using funding for fun and profit, which lead to NSERC USRAs...

I was taking this course with this professor I couldn't understand. I would write a word down, then later look up at the board and it would be completely different. (He had a speech impediment.) One time I went into the bathroom - this is a true story by the way - and he follows me in. I couldn't understand him very well, so I thought I had just been asked if I wanted money by someone who'd followed me into a bathroom. After a while I realized he was asking me if I wanted one of these.

Yoshinaga Fumi? In my Guardian? It's more likely than you think.

2009-09-22T05:28:51Z

From this article in the Guardian:

Bento box sales in Tokyo have doubled over the past year as male office workers join aficionados among their female colleagues.

An array of books, including the bestselling Danshi Gohan (Food for Men), guide hapless amateur cooks through the minefield of assembling nutritious and aesthetically pleasing boxed lunches. Others get recipe advice from What Did You Eat Yesterday?, a manga about the dietary habits of two cohabiting men, or hone their cooking skills at weekly evening classes.

What Did You Eat Yesterday?, a.k.a. Kinou Nani Tabeta?, is a manga by Yoshinaga Fumi most famous for ANTIQUE BAKERY. (Mmm, cake.) As Sleep Is For The Weak says,

She’s a lady who made herself famous largely on Boy’s Love titles and titles with strong themes of promiscuous homosexuality (for example, Antique Bakery), but now she’s writing a men’s serial in a men’s magazine about the exploits of a pair of gay guys in their 40s. And from what I understand, straight men here AND in Japan love her, even if she fills her pages with references to and even pictures of lovely menfolk getting it on with other lovely menfolk whilst their eyes fill with tears of happiness. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how we define “cross-over success.”

(The rest of SIFTW's article is worth a look too.)

YOSHINAGA FUMI QUOTA FOR THE DAY FULFILLED.

Productive uses of class time

2009-09-11T05:40:37Z

Last year I watched Witch Village and The Bridge of Death in a 300-level Computer Science course. This year I've already watched the trailers for HBP, 2012, and James Cameron's Avatar. In my prof's defence his software was in those films. However because I saw the HBP trailers several times before seeing the movie itself, I was face-meets-desk laughing as soon as the library appeared. The person sitting beside me must have thought I was crazy.

I want a Versus XIII wallpaper: it'll be like having overpowered!Squall, blond!Zack, younger!Angeal, and Reno and Tseng's grown-up love child with glasses! (Sadly, this is XIII for me: Stella = Caucasian!Yuna, Lightning = female!Cloud, Snow = Tidus's meathead older brother, Hope = Denzel.)

Memorable books

2009-09-07T07:52:45Z

Make a list of memorable books.

I have a horrible memory for titles, so I had to Google several of these by their plot or setting. This list is roughly chronological.

Charlotte's Web - E. B. White
The View From Saturday - E. L. Konigsburg (trivia about turtles)
Many Waters - Madeline L'Engle (arguably pre-apocalyptic)
The Hobbit - J. R. R. Tolkein
Tuck Everlasting - Natalie Babbitt (my introduction to the concept of immortality)
The Chrysalids - John Wyndham (post-apocalyptic YA sci-fi)
The White Mountains - John Christopher (Post-apocalyptic YA sci-fi ... with aliens! I never read the sequels.)
The Giver - Lois Lowry (Post-apocalyptic YA. The second Lowry book I read; the first was Number the Stars.)
Holes - Louis Satcher (youth prison camp)
The City Under Ground - Suzanne Martel (Post-apocalyptic YA sci-fi ... in Montreal!)
The Legend of Luke - Brian Jacques (I read all but two of the Redwall books before Triss)
The Darkangel - Meredith Ann Pierce (Vampires ... in space! My first and so far only vampire book.)
The Subtle Knife - Philip Pullman (I never read The Amber Spyglass)
The Sterkarm Handshake - Susan Price (I cried)
Northanger Abbey - Jane Austen (I later read most of the Austen books on Project Gutenberg)
Farenheit 451 - Ray Bradbury (dystopia)
Sophie's World (Sofies verden) - Jostein Gaarder (my brain still hurts)
The Pearl - John Steinback (I just cannot finish his books - I remember the ending to this one though, so I must have finished it?)
Animal Farm - George Orwell (dystopia; I never managed to finish 1984)
Divine Comedy (Divina Commedia) - Dante Alighieri
Julius Caesar - William Shakespeare (I worked through all of my school's Shakespeare, except for King Lear)
Antigone - Sophocles
Don Quixote - Miguel de Cervantes
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - Douglas Adams
An Ideal Husband - Oscar Wilde (I also avoided Dorian Gray)
Flatland - Edwin A. Abbott
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep - Philip K. Dick (post-apocalyptic sci-fi)
Siddhartha - Herman Hesse
The Princess Bride - William Goldberg
Frankenstein - Mary Shelley (I hated this book. Especially the second time I had to study it.)
The Life of Pi - Yann Martel
The Stone Angel - Margaret Laurence
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Arcadia - Tom Stoppard
Gulliver's Travels - Jonathan Swift
Howards End - E. M. Forster
Tokyo Babylon - CLAMP (its sequel is apocalyptic)
Flowers for Algernon - Daniel Keyes (did I mention I cried?)
The Devil and the Good Lord (Le Diable et le bon Dieu) - Jean-Paul Sartre
The Colour of Magic - Terry Pratchett (my default waiting room book)
The Left Hand of Darkness - Ursula K. Le Guin

Huh, and I wondered where all my apocalyptic nightmares came from.

Surveyfail

2009-09-03T11:31:23Z

A few of you that are more fannish may have heard of Surveyfail, in which two newly graduated PhDs with a book deal from Dutton (Penguin) attempt to survey slash fandom about "netporn". There's a quick rundown at Feminist SF and screencaps at unfunnybusiness, but the gist of it is:

they didn't do their research beforehand - e.g. not knowing about novel length fic
they already had their book written, and just needed survey results to support their ideas
their survey does not pass basic ethical regulations - there was no informed consent, one of their questions was a potential trigger, they had no way of knowing if any of their participants are underage
they failed at statistics
they changed a survey question midway through running the survey (pffffft)
they called transsexuals "shemales" (oh snap) and compared female interest in slash fiction to male interest in transsexuals (oh double snap)

Results:

they get spammed with macros
they were Rule 34'd, twice
their alma mater disowned them
their local friendly IRB politely told them ur doin it wrong
their agent tells them to stop talking to fandom

I have gone past the "shaking head sadly" stage to the "laughing at the stupid" stage. Mmm, GIFs.

Morakat and Politics

2009-09-01T03:50:18Z

I avoid Taiwanese news channels, as it's usually full of politician catfights (figurative and literal) and weepy family members calling for justice of something. My main news source is BBC's breaking news feed (unexpected side benefit of being on Twitter, I am ashamed to say). Some time between my last check and now the confirmed death toll has grown by 400 people, to nearly 600. Once I think about it, that's horrific.

The Taiwanese are pointing fingers at everything. Most of the blame is landing on the government's slow response - the best helicopter the government has was reserved for dignitaries (cue angry mob) and a few officials have been showing up at ruined villages being generally useless except for photo ops. Taiwan's news agencies (they of the satellite news van army) have been getting stories out from villages that the relief forces haven't reached yet. Some federal government officials have said that remote villages were given emergency GPS phones - which village officials forgot to recharge. (Minor landslides happen a lot in the mountains, due to a combination of rain and earthquakes.) Some have also been blaming shoddy construction and environmental destruction (Taiwan's soil isn't great to begin with; cut the native trees down and there will be a landslide). Whatever the case, a lot of people have dropped the ball here.

The victims are mostly comprised of two groups. One group is Taiwanese aborigines who were forced to move to remote areas due to the increasing Han population of Taiwan starting during the Ming dynasty. They were treated horribly during the Qing dynasty and later Japanese rule. Like all other aborigine groups they have a completely different culture, language family, and are poorer than most Taiwanese. The other group is native Han Taiwanese (those whose families moved to Taiwan before 1945), that is, the people who generally vote for the pro-independence camp. As the current government, run by the KMT, is pro-status quo, a lot of pro-independence media and politicians have been accusing the federal government of only caring about their voters. This viewpoint is due to a long history of oppression against the native Han Taiwanese - during Chiang Kai-shek's rule, the KMT was very anti-diversity and also responsible for the 2-28 Massacre. In the eyes of some in the pro-independence camp, this is only evidence of further discrimination.

Now the PRC is denouncing Taiwan for allowing the Dalai Lama to visit. This is turning into Taiwanese political bingo - all we need is some politicians decking each other in the legislature. Surely that will be fruitful.

Because this kind of thing is important! ... in Taiwan

2009-08-18T04:17:14Z

In Taiwan, there are vans that drive around blaring anything from political spiels to calls for prayer (bai-bai, cf. Chinese folk religion). These prayer vans have recently replaced blaring Taiwanese oldies at top volume while circling major thoroughfares with blaring "Sorry, Sorry" at top volume while circling major thoroughfares.

Have a primetime news report. No prayer vans, unfortunately, so you can also have Filipino prison inmates dancing.

2. TVTropes is useful for:

a) characterization sanity check
b) esoteric¹ tidbits about voice actors, like Midorikawa Hikaru being such a SRW fanboy as to dub and beta-test for free
c) short summary of that endless loop Haruhi arc (yes, there was an anime with reiterating episodes)
d) arming oneself with knowledge against Memetic Sex Gods²
e) all of the above

1. No, I did not just read several hundred GRE vocab flash cards. I read them yesterday.

Why do I like Gundam Wing music, again?

2009-07-26T06:08:02Z

I cut out all the ~labour-intensive~ questions, ahaha.

1. Grab your phone.
*goes downstairs, looks through three rooms for phone*

2. What is the 3rd picture of in your phone?
I have less than three pictures.

3. What's your ringtone?
A very nice MIDI arrangement of "White Reflection (Tallgeese edit version)" by TWO-MIX, from Gundam Wing. MIDI ringtones sound cleaner to me.

4. Who's the 1st person that comes up under M?
I have no one between "L" and "S".

5. Who's the last person you called? On purpose?
How do you call people not on purpose? silent_paladin, for directions.

6. Who was your last missed call from?
eolian_sprite

7. Who's your speed dial number 2?
My home. (#1 is reserved for voice mailbox on this phone.)

8. What does 3rd text in your inbox say?
I assume this means 'third most recent': "Your refill was sucessful. Your current balance is $10.00."

9. Who was your last received call from?
silent_paladin, seeing if I was going to dinner.

10. What does your 2nd sentbox text say?
"58083" (texting for next bus info - which accounts for the large majority of my text messages)

11. How many messages are currently in your inbox?
23.

12. What is the wallpaper?
The default theme wallpaper.

13. Who is the 15th message from in your inbox?
animagus.

14. How many bars of signal do you currently have?
7 out of 7.

15. What is your screensaver?
The good old clock.

16. What is your balance?
*calls to check* It expired, apparently.

17. What is your Bluetooth name?
Niou, baby.

I had no idea what to name my phone, and I had to get Bluetooth running before I could use my phone (hello, MIDI ringtones), so I just picked the first thing that came to mind. White phone = white hair = Niou. Though maybe I should have called it Zechs or Bakura. If I ever get a black and red phone I'm going to call it Itachi.

18. Could you live without it?
YES PLEASE. TAKE IT AWAY FROM ME.

Because I have nothing better to do.

1. Baccano, Gundam 00 ver.

If you ever wanted to see Allelujah Haptism in a Western flick.

2. Nanikei demo nai

Now for about 500 different parodies of the same commercial (one that NewS did for Russ-K). Ok, only two, but there's a lot more where that came from.

a. Kyou Kara Maou

Featuring Mr. Stick-in-the-mud Gwendal dancing!

b. Ace of Diamond

3. Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei feat. Yugioh

A.k.a. spot that minor character!

Warning, NSFW (non-explicit). Oi, it's a Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei OP, what do you expect.

4. Danjo, Akatsuki version

This is a song about how there are more guys than girls in the class OH NOES! You always wanted to see Kisame dancing, right? Right.

5. Haruhi as Day of Sagittarius in Kichiku Megane

This is a parody of the BL game Kichiku Megane, done space opera Haruhi-style. The plot of Kichiku Megane goes like so: the main character is a total uke, but when he puts on demonic glasses, he becomes a super seme! Koizumi's supplanted the main character here, but everyone knows Koizumi doesn't need glasses to be an evil top.

Warning, NSFW (non-explicit).

6. Katekyo Hitman Reborn in Code Geass R2

Luls, angry emo!Gokudera.

7. iPod commericals

a. Gundam 00

Haro commands you to buy an iPod!

b. Gintama

c. Persona 3 FES

[Parody ends at 1:42]

8. Final Fantasy VI as Ouran Koukou Host Club

Gratuitous chocobo!

9. Pocky commercial feat. Katekyo Hitman Reborn

I want Pocky ;___;

10. Higurashi no Naku Koro ni, Yugioh ver.

Because in the deepest, darkest depth of its soul, Yugioh is an anime about a butcher knife-wielding finger bone-breaking children.

11. Marissa Stole the Precious Thing, Death Note ver.

"Marissa Stole the Precious Thing" is this um, rearrangement of a song from a shooting game by IOSYS, complete with animation and such. I'll do an IOSYS post one day ;___;

12. Katekyo Hitman Reborn in Sailormoon

Does this even need words?

Omake!
