Recently my Mac became weird after some minutes of starting up. The finder did not response and files in the HD corrupted from time to time. It caused me quite a while to notice the problem. Guess since the upgrading to the latest version of 10.6.4 of the Mac OS X. Just put my Mac to the factory yesterday and the staff gave me a note today that there are some problems with the HD and would ask for the replacement from Apple. My guess, the HD toasted. I should have noticed for a while but luckily I have the expense covered since it’s still within the warranty.

It’s a great season. Has been busy watching World Cup these days and the site lacks updates for a while. I did played Wining Eleven a lot on PlayStation2 but seldom watched soccer matches on TV. The World Cup is something special and fun. Good to follow. Another thing in mind, TheAkiba was on Facebook for a while and the short URL of the page is available from now. Get access to TheAkiba on Facebook for fun.

Finally arrived at China and the first thing that remind me of this is the delay of entering the boarder. Quite some time has been spent on the inspection of a visitor coming from South Africa who complained that he was stopped by the officers every time since they did the inspection locally but the passport he got is international standard. Well, this is not a cold joke but what’s happening in the country. And about the trip, it’s energy consuming and I haven’t slept for 24 hours. Enjoyed movies on the aircraft is fun but the limit space was really killing myself. At last, everything seems fine and I found myself almost perfect in adjusting to the China time zone and guess will need more time to sleep.

Long time since the last post of the series. Tons of awesome pics came from different sources and still got a problem in sort them out. Nice illustration by Mikeou (みけおう, Circle name: PINK CHUCHU). Updated Wordpress to the latest version 2.8.5 but it seemed to have some problem with the memory limit of images. Still trying to figure out the problem but it appears to be on the server side. Will look into the problem.

Just came back from the 3 days trip (actually a test and an interview) to Xiamen, an island city in Fujian province of China. The city is a combination of past and now, old and new. Lots of buildings are under construction and many old houses are being removed. Used to love traveling but had few time.

Long time since the previous post of this series. After optimization the site is back to normal though some projects were dropped. Among one of them is the Gallery, guess some of you might miss it. Using Gallery2 on a shared server is not a good idea that I didn’t realize until then. But there’re lots of good pics and scans sites out there. Guess I’ll have more time for the V3 project.

Am considering redesigning of the layout of the site which doesn’t really satisfy me. Still thinking about ways to implement some new stuffs ^^ Scan from the Galgame In solitude where we are least alone, illustrated by Takashi Hashimoto (橋本タカシ, Circle name: EXCLAMATION).

Nagomiko (天夢森流彩, Tenmu Shinryuusai Nagomiko, Circle name: Nagomiko, 和(巫女))’s new artwork. Get the wallpaper on the official website. Not sure whether the miko comes from, probably a new game?

You can see clearly that this is not a lingerie shot but a Kimono and Pantsu shot. The character of the scan is Sonsaku Hakufu, from the Anime Ikki Tousen (Battle Vixens, 一騎当千, literally “a lone rider with the strength to withstand a thousand”). Illustrated by Jin Happoubi (八宝備仁).

Long time since the previous post of the series. Basically busying working on the paper of the school and I’m now ready to start the new theme in a few days. Some friends mentioned a galgame named Stellar Theater and asked for information. As far as I know, the game has released but since it’s illustrated by Hiro Suzuhira, there’s a fame. Will bring something about this topic later. And here’s a nice scan of Seia Kanou (狩野 星亜), a heroine of the galgame Stellar Theater. Of course, it is illustrated by Hiro Suzuhira.
