What does the title mean?

My attempt at a pun - noteworthy? Not worth it? Time will tell.

What’ll this blog be about?

Mostly I use this place as an output to write, whenever I get the itch to do so. Expect notes and musings on what I like - computers (Windows), anime, manga, TV and reading (and maybe more - I'm a fickle person with wide interests).
Hope you enjoy reading this, and may you have the patience to read through my long-winded ramblings ;)

Another Rainmeter setup

Because I like dark wallpapers too. Current desktop Alternative wallpaper Details 10 Foot HUD YBoris edit skin for the time and date Enigma Now Playing skin Dynamic quotes skin by me. Uses the quote plugin to display a random lime from a text file. Notes skin to display my to do list. Based on the notes skin from Lady Gaga Tribute by Alek Aldinger and Simplesentence3 by White-Baron. Uptime skin by me Autobahn font for my tweaked skins Lamp wallpaper by CL88 Aurore wallpaper Why use Rainmeter? I've tried Rainmeter before but it never stuck because I didn't really get the point of it. That is, until I read the Lifehacker primer and it clicked together for me - it's widgets!

How To Find Out How Easy A Certain Japanese Text Would Be For You

One way to rate them is by how easy they would be for you to read, so you can pick the level you're comfortable with. To do that, you'll first need a text list of words you already know, and then use that as an input file to the Japanese Text Frequency Analyzer tool. An easy way to get the list is to use the Morphman plugin in Anki (I'm assuming you're using Anki. Find out how to export the list if you use another SRS/flashcard system). What you'll need: Anki Morphman Anki Plugin cb's Japanese Text Analysis Tool Steps: 1. Ensure your database of known words is up to date by forcing a Morphman Recalc.

Where Google+ is better than Facebook

The new kid on the social networking block, Google+ has been in field trial for just over a month. After using it actively this past week or so, I thought I'd write down the things that I like about it. Before I start, a disclaimer: this is not a post bashing Facebook, nor am I claiming that Google+ is the best social network out there. This is meant to be a list of the details that make me lean ever so slightly (all right, a lot) towards Google+. Some terminology before we start (Facebook on the left, Google+ on the right), wall/news feed = stream friend list = circles Here's the list of places where I think Google+ is better than Facebook, starting with the smaller details before moving to the larger differences between them.
