Hahaha

Geek's joke of the day:
There's a PC game called Soul Link. Its opening song is called "Not found". On the single disc, there's a special mix called "404 mix" XD

It looks like Tokyo Toshokan's domain has expired. Fortunately, they now have a .info domain as well (http://tokyotosho.info/). Without looking up stuff at their site once in a while (read: All the bloody time XD), the 'net just isn't the same ^^

Last night, I opened my computer to a) rescue my TV card (one of the few things that I'm gonna keep) and b) check if my power supply has an extra plug for the motherboard. If it didn't have one, I would've needed an new one but luckily, that's not the case.
My, HAL9200's inside is dusty like hell. Unfortunately, it was already kidna darkish and so the pics I took turned out to be unusable. Well, maybe next time.
I also seem to have managed to put my finger on what's wrong with him. At least the symptoms fit: PCI cards and USB ports having random malfunctions, DVD drives not being recognized all the time. This looks suspicously like a damaged southbridge.
It could be due to the thing heating up too much, but that'd be kinda unusual, so I guess it's just old age.
Oh well, I don't really care anymore.

Coming right up: Yet another prog REC...

Geek-o-rama! Today: Prog REC - VideoDownloader

Remember my saying about every stream being downloadable onw way or the other?
But what about Youtube and the like? They're different, right?
Yes, they are, but there's at least one solution to that problem as well.
This is the one I'm using.

It's an extension for Mozilla Firefox. If you're not using that already... Well, for one, you're not cool AT ALL. And for another, you won't be able to use this neat, little tool.
Once you've opened a video in your browser, simply click the small icon in the lower right corner of your Firefox window, right-click the "Download Link" icon and choose "Save Link As...". Now paste that URL into your download manager and download away!

To play the resulting .flv files, those clever people who are already using VLC won't need anything else. Lucky you :P For the others (like, me), FLV player works just fine.

I used this method to download the two short clips of Max Headroom at David Letterman. OMG, so funny =)



... huh? Since when is "mokushiroku" (that's the Japanese word for apocalypse - Cool, eh? XD) written as "mokujiroku"? That should be a completely different word. Er... excuse me while I'm getting totally confused X_X

Ah!
Oberhausen 2005 for download at the Gamma Ray site (Shizoid Clan members only *coughcough*). Wow, "Blood religion" live, even if it's audio only? Need to DL that NOW!!! *stumbles away, shivering with excitement*

Weird link of the day

Don't ask. I don't get it either. But I like it.
Kudos to bro for this particular weirdness.
