A Failed Quest for Rider, The Devil’s Bittorrent and Stuff

Published July 3rd, 2006 in Culture

Quite random, this post will be. I am pissed because I took the bus all the way straight after work to the store that’s accepting pre-orders for the Limited Edition Black Bikini Rider and after a 1 hour trip, found that it was closed. GAHH!! And the way home coincided with rush hour, so it took 1.5 hours to get home. While I was there, I peeked at the new stocks the other shops had and saw the Blood+ bust available. It’s almost as good as the promo pictures, and Latendo is only selling it for S$75, before the discounts, which is quite cheap. I got mine at HLJ for about S$68 excluding shipping and it’s shipped on its own, so probably’ll add up to the same or slightly more.

But anyway, for those who frequent or patronise Kare Kano no Mise (KKnM), note that Mondays is an off day for them. I feel murderous intent. But as Noriko of Gunbuster says, guts and willpower!! I’ll be going down tomorrow again but not before calling to make sure they still have stock of Hobby Japan.

Kanaria: "Prepare yourself kashira!"
Suiseiseki: "EEee!"

I wonder if this is a parody of the Blame manga and its super graviton emitter or something.

And for those people deriding Starhub, the BT problems have only started the past few weeks. Evidence?

THE DEVIL’S SPEED!!

This is the highest I’ve gotten.

Time to try Utorrent.

Protocol Encryption 4TW: “Protocol Encryption (PE) is a joint specification between Azureus and µTorrent. It is designed to bypass throttling and/or blocking of BitTorrent traffic by an ISP.”

Heck, you don’t queue your torrents do you?
Downloading all at one go -.-”

lawl. Binchou-tan. Still watching it because you feel sorry for it?.. good call on My Foot, though. Gazelle City is a great song.

Never tried uTorrent before, but just f.y.i. BitComet is at v0.70 now.

Damn you dood. My HIGHEST speed ever attained even before the throttling was at most 300 kb/s. Westies get favoured and that ain’t fair.

BTW the new Opera browser has a BT manager built-in. Anyone tried it out yet?

Fuck. 666kb/s. Fuck.

For some reason now, I regret introducing you to uTorrent. If BC can reach that speeds….. then…. *curses stupid M’sian ISP monopoly*.

{{Looks at BT speeds}} Maaaaaan. You’re lucky you live in Singapore, dude. I NEVER reach such speeds!!

Somemmore, you have 1001 files downloading at the same time. Fuuwoh ..

i am very surprised you weren’t aware that KKnM never opens on Mondays. I wasted quite a number of afternoons in my “high school” life forgetting that fact.

Has the Rise of Anime contributed to your neglecting of other hobbies?

Yes, my best skill now is "watching anime".: 74% (113)
No, anime is too weak to make me lose control.: 26% (40)
