9. Congratulations, Otou-san

   As prompted by tweet, here's my very liberal and amateur translation for The Rika End video - with heavy spoilers, naturally! - to be read in a separate window:

   

   SFX: Door opens

   RIKA: 「旦那さまーーーっ 愛しの理科が帰りました …

10. The Tourney That Psgels Won

    With the 2nd round, better-known and plainly better blogs started to roll in, and they lose big time, with the exception of SOS and Metanorn that utterly steamrolled their opponents (Metanorn won with 242 to 25, possibly a record, against a crazy homophobic racist). The Queen Of Pr0n, Choux, lost …

11. Ye quit thy whining

    Ubu sez:

    I wrote off feeling guilty over bittorrenting anime when I saw Fate/Zero at $350.

    Me look at my inbox:

12. OneMinuteOfDusk on Mouretsu Pirates

    I had a look at Aniblog Tourney bracket, and apparently Ani-nouto is seeded to face the winner of a match-up between the well-known Altar&Vega and OneMinuteOfDusk. Having never heard about the latter, and in the spirit of the tourney went to check it out... found a cancellation notice:

    The …

13. Remember Otaku Dan?

    Reading about WAH's dating exploits, I remembered about the animeblogging hero Otaku Dan, who described his own conquest thus[1]:

    If you guessed by the title, I'm currently dating a very nice girl. How we met was interesting, she attended the blogging panel I hosted at Metrocon. Every single time …

14. Popularity at GR

    Horrible performance of Liferea made me migrate to Google Reader gradually. I move blogs one by one, starting at the top of the reading list. This way less interesting blogs are left languish in Liferea, which I rev up once in a few days. Like Twitter, GR shows the subscriber …

15. FUNi licenses what again?

    After Oh Edo Rocket it almost seemed that FUNi decided to mend their "only ever license drek" ways, but today it was announced that Sentai acquires ZKC, while FUNi acquires Pretear. I even happen to know what kind of garbage Pretear was first hand.

    Perhaps they plan to get everything …

16. Welcome to the Dead.Anime folder

    Moving the 2DT into my Dead.Anime folder, I used this opportunity to count [1]. There are 54 entries in there. Saving them preserves the content in the cache, in case I need to refer to it, and the site falls off the Net.

    

    The 2DT was a rather bright …

17. The problem of 4:3 on DVD

    The initial test of modded Toshiba that I mentioned previously turned up a big problem: the stupid box stretches 4:3 DVDs {Update: this is fixed now, see below}. The result looks like this:

    

    It is truly infuriating to realize that the firmware has all the information available to do …

18. The app manga

    One difficult thing about Twitter is how it requires perfection. A minute ago I twittered:

    I am peeved by "manga as an app" (the legit one), for Kindle Fire. You are selling THROUGH AMAZON. Just sell a MANGA BOOK, jeezus!

    So far so good, but then I thought that it …
