Because it’s been a week since an entry, and almost….. *scans down my recent entries page* ….. errr, okay, it’s been a while since any “real” content, hasn’t it?
Well, I’ve been playing a lot of Final Fantasy XI. I finally got in to the Shirt Ninjas linkshell, after being on the waiting list forever and getting “nepotized” in by meeting Greg Dean at Reccacon last weekend. (I have a feeling I would have gotten in soon anyway, as they were finally getting around to processing the waitlist.1) Speaking of Reccacon, I helped out with Karaoke as well, and recently finalized that I would be on karaoke staff for Fanime and Anime Expo as well. I’ve been working on re-doing the karaoke computer setup to work on a mac, which was mostly easy, as it was for Linux before, with PHP and MySQL and all sorts of fun things that port right over to OS X, the only hard part is changing the weird XMMS/pipe infrastructure that plays the songs into an iTunes/AppleScript architecture, which I’ve got mostly solved. It also lets us make the “karaoke computer” be an external firewire drive that can been booted off of, making any recent Apple computer into the server.
So… hmmm… what else….
Meh, I’m drawing a blank, here.
1There’s a waiting list because you can only have a certain number of people online with any given linkshell equipped at once, and they were hitting that limit. As people stop playing as much, they can slowly add more people.
Oh! Will see you at fanime then, hamu 😀
