FRIENDS ONLY

Well, mostly.
Just trying to keep people I know in my everyday life out.

What you'll find here: Ramblings, Real Life, Art, Fandom. You're probably not missing much.

I have a rather lax friending/defriending policy, so just comment here and you're pretty sure in,
but I will reserve the right to refuse if I'm not confortable with the thought. No hard feelings

Silly thing I did today, because I can't always just feel sorry for myself on here, eh?

( The ß files )

Handy dandy tutorial on "How to react when Open Office refuses to open a Word document when said document was written on a mac and you know it's fine OO is just being a dick because it knows it's bank holidays and you can't go to uni to open said document". (also known as the HTRWOORTOAWDWSDWWOAMAYKIFOOIJBADBIKIBHAYCGTUTOSD-procedure):

- Flip the fuck out
- Curse OO in all languages you know
- Curse OO in languages you don't know
- Curse OO in languages you just made up
- Cry (only not really but feel like crying)
- Give up
- Don't give up because damnit
- Convert the .doc into a PDF
- Open PDF because Adobe Reader isn't a dick
- ???
- profit

Please take notes, there will be a test on this stuff.

ACTA in a Nutshell –

What is ACTA? ACTA is the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement. A new intellectual property enforcement treaty being negotiated by the United States, the European Community, Switzerland, and Japan, with Australia, the Republic of Korea, New Zealand, Mexico, Jordan, Morocco, Singapore, the United Arab Emirates, and Canada recently announcing that they will join in as well.

Why should you care about ACTA? Initial reports indicate that the treaty will have a very broad scope and will involve new tools targeting “Internet distribution and information technology.”

What is the goal of ACTA? Reportedly the goal is to create new legal standards of intellectual property enforcement, as well as increased international cooperation, an example of which would be an increase in information sharing between signatory countries’ law enforcement agencies.

I fess up! I love wikipedia, and I use it all the time. Even for University work! The process usually goes like thus: I look something up, then look at the references the article gives, go to look THOSE up, and then take it from there. It usually works like a charm and nobody will ever know.

Except today, today was special:

So I went and had a look to see when my last non-fandom related art-post actually was. Not counting the Novemberdoodles, it... was a long time ago, oh wow.
Then again, I haven't really drawn anything non-fandom related in what feels like aaages, simply because I live for the short high the crack in those doodles provide me. But I digress.

The other day, I found one of my sketchbooks again, and it was empty, so I decided to fill it. Preferably with not so many fandom doodles, just to see if I actually CAN still draw something not related to fandom crack.
Basically, I just sat down, watched 'criminal intent' or any other spin-off available, and doodled. Mostly just drew from pictures I found on my HD to get warm again. There are a lot of super random pictures on my HD, btw, I boggled.

Once upon a time, Japan was looking at China's texts and thought "wouldn't it be great if I could write and read like that?" But poor little Japan had a complete other grammar structure than big China, and so it just didn't work out. Japan sat down and set up some rules and secret codes in order to be able to read classic chinese texts. And so Kanbun was invented, a system that would last for many centuries way over the Meiji Restoration.

Unfortunately, that day someone had spiked Japan's tea, and the rules turned out to be pure crack.

Or, like someone in my class said, it's like trying to solve a 10 000 piece-puzzle of a blue sky over a blue ocean.

Something for Lumi to hate me for. ♥

You can run from us now, but sooner or later, we're gonna hump you.
