Finally found it, the comic book I’ve been looking for years… one of the best comic book series I’ve read…
I was looking (testing) for a job in Akihabara News which is related to “creative” and “tech”. This is one of those I found, with 3M to 4M annually, and lots of requirement too!
Without all these requirements or knowledge about tech, anyone who’s planning to live and work in Japan is gonna end up like that father from Tokyo Sonata — becoming the cleaning guy, even though he’s got a great experience in something related to management… that’s just not enough.
Although he’s not a foreign man, but a father of 2 in Japan, I’m just referring to the kind of job he was having at the end of this movie. But it’s a good thing that he’s got a job to feed his family.
BTW, this movie was really good too. I strongly recommend to anyone who’s got a huge patience and is vulnerable to the so-called “boring” movie. Just get a cup of Starbuck while watching this and you’ll be good to go…
Was searching through the net for some green wallpaper, and I found this.
Never know Fujitsu has something like this in stores if I never went to look for it… so wanna buy one.
Back in the days, when I’m sick of listening to normal instrumental music while studying, I would switch to some foreign language music (which I don’t understand, if I do understand the language, ie English, I will get distracted by following the lyrics). I usually prefer to Jap-hits, and would treat foreign language as the new “instrument” in music. Well, since I don’t understand the language, following the lyric would be… hard, unnecessary, in other words, I don’t have to… And then I got addicted to them, but mostly are the PVs from drama, or anime… I started skipping actual instrument music, except for Joe Hisaishi’s, I mean his songs still rocks, sad but wonderful… and I sometimes plan to use his song in my game (if I ever do create a game with a “sad” genre). Now that I’ve learned Japanese language, got to know some words, and the formation of sentence and stuff, I started following lyrics. Not to say I’m distracted, but I’m sometimes do focus really hard when doing something i love, for instance, game development. Sometimes even if it’s Joe Hisaishi’s Piano Stories, I would get distracted too, though there isn’t any lyrics in there, or some people shouting Latin words and such. His music were just, wonderful, beautiful, and distract-ful…
今日は、ドラマの練習があります。 このクラスで俺とみんなさんだいたい二じゅ人がいます。 そして、先週の練習は今の練習より難しいです。 先生は、俺たちのパフォーマンスがにぎやかじゃないでいたと述べた。 それから、もっと練習必要があります。 でもさ、もちろん俺たちがにぎやかじゃない、この練習の前に午前九時から午後七じまでクラスがありました。 そして、俺たちは本当に疲れました。。。
Cannot place an Else in another Else?
While playing with the if conditional statement in my free time, I uses an Else If inside an If statement:
line 1: if (x<=5){
line 2: if (x==1){
line 3: statement}
line 4: else if (x==2){
line 5: statement}
line 6: }
line 7: else if (x>=5){
line 8: }
and error shows up in the compiler, stating that the the “Else if” in line 4 is an error, but it didn’t further explaining the reason why. That’s what has been bugging me, cuz I’m pretty sure that I’ve done the same thing in my previous work without encountering any errors… weird!
Soon after seeing myself “defeated” by myself, I realized that I’ve been a dreamer more than a person who’s trying to be more successful than the others (there’s a shorter phrase for that, but I’ve forgotten it when writing this post… words like “warrior”, “winner”, and “successor” were floating in my mind for this).
Every time I found my assignment’s or project’s workloads were lower than the others, I found myself seeking for the rest of those whose workloads were way much lower than me, and compete with them instead. Instead of aiming for the top like I’d planned, I aimed for the normal. Which is another explanation of my current laziness.
I guess, everyone has got this sort of weakness like I do, it sure will take a long time to solve this problem… my problem…
Well, I’m just gonna say the same thing I told my friend Keen every end of a semester, I’m gonna be more hardworking next time!
Accessing main timeline variables from MovieClip in AS3:
While working on my game, I stumbled across the same AS3 problem I had a while ago but was never solve. I googled and searched through tons of results and finally found the perfect one which works in AS3:
- MovieClip(root).jakel168
or
- MovieClip(parent).jakel168
Replace “jakel168” with either the variable or the movie clip you want to access from the stage.
This should be the AS3 format of AS2’s “_root.”. I used “_root.” in my AS3 script previously, it works, but my lecturer said that it was considered to be “cheating” in Flash, and not really professional for any ActionScript-ers to do that.
Surprise to see GTA: San Andreas staying at the top of the “Most Popular” title after so many years since it’s release…
