TNT 17

I took a quick trip to the TNT 17 Manga-Comic Expo, just took a few photos and bought a book. Strangely enough it was pretty empty, perhaps due to my visit occurring at the start of the planned convention days. Once there I spotted some recycled cosplay and the usual merchandising stuff.

Cosplayers Pikminlink and Ichigokitty were invited to the event:

After their presentation, some photo studios were made:

I got he chance to listen some nice anime themes from Ensamble Quimera:

I was lucky enough to find a girl cosplaying Raven!


Of course, I got the chance to take a photo with her! XD

Finally, some assorted cosplay photos:

New Compy Trials

The new compy is undergoing trial by now, I have to resolve some issues like non-installing programs and burning errors. Thanks dual display for making debug easier!!! XD

Among the errors, I found the following:

- Adobe CS3 installs, but the programs cannot start since the license agreement never appears on screen... thus, I can't press the d@mn "Accept" button... :S

- Internet Explorer 7 won't install. I had to get Internet Explorer 8 RC1.

- I had some Flash Player issues, corrected by reinstaling the plugin.

- Burning errors: I received the "Power Calibration Error" message... following advice from some webpages, I disable the IMAPI service. Seems it worked by now.

- Apple iTunes won't install the neweste version... don't ask me why... I settled for the not-so-new version.

That's pretty much, as I remember. Well, I'm also sending a pair of new images of the new compy, below. The first is the inside before cabling optimization. The second, bueh... is the compy...

Finished layout...

...and going to sleep! After a few sleepless days, I finished my IC layouts. And after a play with The Bends at a party, it's finally time to dive in my bed and sleep until very late tomorrow! nighty...

The last shops needed for the new computer, bought last friday! An ASUS 4850 video card with 1GB memory, a two-kit Kingston Hyper-X DDR2 1066 2GB memory, 500GB SATA2 hard disk, DVD-RW optical unit and the Microsoft Wireless Laser Desktop 5000.

Info on the building and testing of the new computer tomorrow. I'm tired of playing Tomb Raider Underworld... hee hee... XD

My shops for today: an AMD Phenom X4 9950 Black Edition processor and the ASUS M3A79T-Deluxe motherboard. Just installed both on my new chassis. More news on the progress of my new gaming computer coming soon!
