Lt. George: How … how do you mean, sir? Do you mean … do you mean take her home at the weekend to meet your mother?
Lord Flasheart: No, I mean get inside her five times a day and take her to heaven and back.
Capt. Blackadder: I’m beginning to see why the suffragette movement want the vote.

One of the benefits of documenting one’s thoughts in a blog is that one can review said thoughts and realise one is a bit of a daft git.
I had previously mentioned my resistance to change but upon reviewing the entry, I realised my reluctance to change standard operating procedure in the specific instance I cited was wholly indefensible not to mention just plain ridiculous. After all, I did recognise that changing the default action would be a change for the better so why not change it?
Anyway, short story shorter, I not only changed the damned default action for photo transfers but I streamlined the process even further by configuring Nikon Transfer so that it automatically deletes photos from the digicam after copying them over to the PC.
One silly habit down.
One million to go.

I managed to break the 200K barrier several times in Lumines over the weekend. It was easier than I thought. After several fast and furious levels/skins, the game slows down dramatically for the “Holiday in Summer” skin and gameplay continues at a relatively sedate pace for a few skins after that. It’s best to use this period to clear up the board and put together some megacombos to boost the score because the pace picks up again soon enough.

Get Ride!
A Mugenbine take on Amdriver.
Mugendairugger XV.
What happens when 15 Mugenroid get together.
Kamen Rider Hibiki episode 22 out.
Unsubbed. One of the major themes in this very Japanese of Kamen Rider series has been how the collective comes together to help each other and this episode highlights that communal spirit.
PSP allegedly outplayed by DS.
The points may be valid but it would be a mistake to place any importance on the PSP vs DS debates by a fanatical few platform evangelists.
PSP sales in Japan and the US.
The hardware’s doing fine but the software offering needs improving. I wonder if developers are having technical trouble producing for it. There are a few games with poor controls and one game with excessive load-times.
Game Boy Micro preview.
In a bid to lower the weight and dimensions of the device, Nintendo used lower-case letters to label the buttons.
