Challenge

Hook myself lately in building a flexible database system. The mai challenge in the system, is the term flexible. User specified which data to store, when to retrieve, and even design own GUI on what to show and what should hide. Deciding which part should be given free for user to play with, and which part should only be maintained by the system was pretty much difficult (at least for someone who isn't database based). Yet, the real fun is to maintain both flexible and performance together. Yes, it's both hard but fun. xD

Found myself loving a old theme song for an old anime, Brain Powerd. The ending song (literally "Field of Love") has that strange kind of feeling that suits my taste. xD

愛の輪郭

歌手:KOKIA
作詞:井荻麟
作曲:菅野よう子

愛し合う心を
育てていったあなたが
その腕を枕に
お眠りと耳にささやく
昼の言葉など忘れていいから
聞いて free fly free fly
果てなく

父とその母が
歌えなかった唄が

弾む free fly free fly
愛をまさぐる唄
信じあって 語りつげば
もっと心 滑らかになる

欲深なまどろみ
身を任せて 夢見る
子供たちの心の
灯になって欲しいと

愛する作法を
ちりばめていけば
それは free fly free fly
慈しむ海原
あなたという星 つかめば
永遠という刻にかわって

愛し合う心を
育てていったあなたが
その腕を枕に
お眠りと耳にささやく

夢に見る銀河を
まどろんだまま旅する
その瞳と唇
それだけで何もいらない

Time flows...

Is it just me or it is a fact that time flows faster this year? A new year just started and now I'm busying cleaning the house. Though, I should've clean my stuff long before now, but the my lamer side keeps holding me back. xD

Decide to dump a lot of stuff ~ old magazines (piles of them), old CDs (piles of them, mostly free CDs that comes with the magazines) and perhaps I should dump myself? 

My final project can be said is finished. Anyone wish to see what I came up with can download and install it from Sendspace. I've included some components (.Net Framework 2.0, and Win Installer 3.0) which is required for the project. Also I've included a sample to play with. It might not look too good, coz I didn't optimize anything and just generate it on the go. Give some comments if errors or bugs are found.

Pushing myself on a project for personal use. It's suppose to be a catalog program to keep track of the stuff I got, but since I'm not a 100% database student, the design itself keeps changing (LOL, coz I do not strictly follow any design methodology, and just follow my instinct) Anyway, SQLite draws my attention as a standalone database, and it's preformance are pretty nice for my own use. Target the project to be done in a month or two.

Woo... New year...

It's been quite some time that I come back here. Without me knowing, it's already new year.

So what's up with me for missing so many weeks? Let's see. Hooked up in finalizing the addtional part of my project at first. Although I'm still checking and debuging some mysterious bugs, I would officially say the project is finished, and I would be awaiting for my viva later. It's about time I finish with this project, and hopefully no more upcoming.

Currently hooked up in doujin names. An IRC friend recommend a nice doujin fighting game Fatal/Fake. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatal/Fake) The game mimic the original story quite well, and it's a really good action paced fighting. However, I was drawn to another doujin RPG game (Yeah, I'm a serious RPG fanatic). The Action-RPG Chantelise (http://egs.cug.net/circle/chantelise.html) is a simple yet addictive RPG game that draws my heart. But what I really hooked up is to search for all its secret treasures and go fishing :p

Last week when over for 2 movie in a row. Eragon (http://www.eragonmovie.com/) is a classical dragon myth tales. A young farm boy was choosen to be a dragon rider, and slowly becomes a saver for the people. Basically nothing too fancy about the movie, and as expected, it's a classical story.

Sinking of Japan (Nihon chinbotsu) in the mean time, offers some additional interesting CGs. Watching each part of Japan sinking slowly, and to see the last action hero struggling to save Japan proves that Japan did it again. Just that I keeps wondering, y the hero's clothes always so clean whereas all his surroundings are covered with volcano ash? xD

Drawn by Astro new China channel, I found myself catching an everyday 10 minutes programme. The show is about China's relic, and revealing the stories behind those >1000 years relics. It's informative, and it makes you wish to have one of them for yourself. xD Check out http://www.chinarelic.com/ for more information
