Current Mood: Alarmed

So, apparently Microsoft China has decided to blatantly rip off Plurk in their newest MSN offering. Generally, I’m pretty cool with M$ despite the hate on all fronts, but … this really isn’t a case of HATERS GON’ HATE.

Hell, I’d have probably never even noticed (considering Plurk is by far a much more prevalent microblogging service in Asia, where we get Twitter) except that I’ve been using Plurk for almost a year, and my timeline exploded with the news.

Boo.

On a more festive note, game is horrifically addictive.

Current Mood: Happy

Finally got around to doing some updating — I had about a million and a half rp icons sitting around rotting on the hard drive, and decided it was about time to update shounen-terrorist.net. So that’s taken care of!

I’ve recently switched computers; gone is the trusty Vaio, replaced by an eMachine (DON’T JUDGE ME) that I promptly upgraded the crap out of. Hueg power supply, gratuitous amounts of memory, an extra hard drive, a much-upgraded graphics card … dude, I’ve wanted to work on desktops forever, and it’s every bit as much fun (and frustration) as I’d imagined.

Oh god, I am a massive nerd. D:

Likewise with the upgrades, my copy of Windows 7 came in. It’s a little different, but I’m really loving it … except for the part where I have to restart my network card every time I restart my computer before I can connect to the internet, sob. There’s always something, right? Right.

In other words: I cannot wait for Christmas to be over. Retail during the holidays is hell on earth, no lie.
