Using futuristic interface

Looks like my present and future will be like this after I watched Tron Legacy movie during one past day of Lunar New Year this year. Seemed that I was pretty interested on how futuristic that movie looked like because you’re inside the computer with all these glowy lines everywhere. Sure the place is dark but I guess that other futuristic places can have different colors. You should be able to know that this blog and the one on Wordpress have this kind of look but the one on Wordpress isn’t as good looking as this one as most of the themes at Wordpress are completely simple looking. Following the movie interest, I decided to make my account look like that after discovering the Metro UI which was simple looking but the animations are good and smooth. The same applied to Firefox and Google Chrome based browsers I’m already using.

Also, there are third party stuffs that make use of this kind of interface as well with some glassy look as the addition.

Then there was a theme at Wordpress whose name had nothing to do with space. What the heck anyway? That didn’t even scare the shit out of me.

Hori Ex2 Stick and Radirgy Noa Massive Get!

The title says it all and this is after the examination today. However, the downside of the Hori Ex2 Stick is that we have to adjust the control settings before starting the arcade kind of game because the control layout doesn’t seem to be right. It sure looks like it’s for shmups but even then, the control layout isn’t right because the default in-game control layout in the control settings is optimized for the Xbox 360 controllers so no matter which game genre you’re playing, you have to adjust the in-game control layout settings before you start. Usually, B = Shot, X = Bomb, Y = Vulcan kind of shot, etc. In addition, I unexpectedly had the 3-Month Gold Membership when requested for it as the discount stuff when getting the MS Points Card. It turns out that I don’t have to pay every month although it is the buyable subscription card which is the membership card. It’s not like signing up for the ISP service but registering as a member doesn’t count as paying every month.

So, screw my birthday over my drop of Storage Networking examination efforts which was on September 5th, the first exam day. September 6th was completely free of exam but today was the second and last exam part of the final examination. I guess that I did better this time today with the second module’s examination efforts as I had the revision written on my computer. Unfortunately, the essay part has not been easy to memorize and even if I referred to the revision many times, I was freaking tricked.

Overall costs for these two stuffs I bought were $170-$180+.

Incoming examination

In the middle of the revision for the upcoming exams in September 5th and 7th, there is some birthday preparation approaching me as my birthday will be tomorrow. Who cares about this anyway as it is not the big thing in favor of the examination which is the most important part?

These shopping intensions are not mine but after the exploration, I may have the  decision to purchase Ipod Touch. Perhaps I can save the overall money rather than buy the phone which may cost even more because buying the smartphone may require buying the subscription service. By having the calculation, the total cost of monthly subscription along with the smartphone price may be even higher than buying Ipod Touch or the tablet device.

Plans

You may hope that I may be studying for the examination instead of the unimportant birthday thing but meanwhile, there will be plans after September 7th.

• Buying the arcade stick may be the good deal for arcade like games on Xbox 360.
• One more shmup game on demand, Radirgy Noa Massive to be bought as well using MS Points Card.

Speaking of these hopes of doing more important things, I may declare September 2nd’s Teacher’s Day wish and my birthday to be Wishing Stage Edition.
