Second Indulgence

Aren’t I supposed to be looking for a room? How did I manage to spend almost one whole day on Second Life®?
我不是应该在找住所的吗?怎么今天几乎整天都花在第二人生™里了?

The whole morning was spent translating the client…
整个早上都用在翻译客户端上……

Then in the afternoon I suddenly have the great idea of attending Torley’s office hours. Standing in the 20-metre-high office, thinking arriving one hour early would let me cache the data beforehand… but coming back from the washroom I found myself on ground zero and a rather big sign where the office once stands.
然后到了下午我忽然很聪明的想到参加Torley的办公时间。站在20米高的办公室上,想着如果早一个小时来的话,就可以提前缓存数据……但是从厕所回来的时候我发现自己站在地面上,原来办公室的地方变成了一个大招牌。

[pink handwritten text sign, which reads "I've moved! come _HERE_"]. A tooltip seem to have some additional informatino.

Yeah, his new office location is named “Here”. Which directly led to the joke that someone should create a region named “There” and then “Lively”…
没错,他的新的办公室所在的位置叫做“Here”(这里)。然后便有人说应该创建地区叫做“There”和“Lively”……

Here (no, not here, Here) has a lot of surreal watermelon colored landscape, and equally, if not more surreal facilities. The actual meeting place is still the same from Grasmere, though.
Here (呃,不是这里,是Here)有很多西瓜颜色超现实的地面,以及同样超现实,如果不是更超现实的设施。不过聚会地点仍然是从Grasmere搬过来的。

Then we saw Squirrel Wood’s awsome land creator. I’m still not sure how you’re supposed to use it though… or how this is an improvement over the built-in one.

然后我们去欣赏了Squirrel Wood的不可思议的地形编辑器。我还是不确定这东西到底是怎么用的……或者这和系统内置的比起来有什么好处。

But it took over two years to create, so it must be awsome, right?
不过它用了两年才完成,所以一定是很棒的,不是吗?

Then I ended the day by building something that seems to come out from mad scientist fictions…
今天最后建造了像是从疯子科学家小说中拿出来的东西。

… So that concludes Geneko Nemeth’s Second Life for today.
于是今天Geneko Nemeth 的第二人生就这样结束了。

What, you’re asking what Kakurady is doing? Nothing. He definitely doesn’t want a family reunion in his subconsciousness.
嗯?你说卡库尔今天在干什么?什么也没干。他潜意识里一定不想和家人团聚。

Okay – I updated WordPress to 2.6.0, but I don’t think you’ll be able to see much difference in the front. That’s probably the point, don’t you think?
好吧——我今天把WordPress升级到了 2.6.0,不过我不认为你在前台能看到任何差别。不过这大概是理所当然的,你说呢?

问卷 Meme

卡库尔向来对任何的链式消息没有什么兴趣,因为被点到名的人每级都会按几何级数增长,不久整个世界的人口就都被点完了。

不过最近不知为何很想做问卷……然后就被孤狼点了名。

那么就开始吧。

Q1:幸福究竟是什麽呢?

幸福就是兽装!(?
Happiness is a fursuit! (?

Q2:什麽時候會覺得空虛?

现在。
具体说是该做事却懒得做的时候。

Q3:在飲食上有什麽特別的偏好與憎惡?

喜欢:豆芽、芹菜、毛豆、豆腐、肉
讨厌:茄子、冻豆腐
Likes: bean sprout, celery, edamane, tofu, meat
Dislikes: eggplant, frozen tofu

Q4:你喜歡傳給你這問卷的人的什麽地方?

根本不认识他 (呃)

Q5:出車禍時第一個保護的地方是哪裡?

胸。(咦)
不过能否解开安全带还是个问题。

那么今天就到这里,希望做问卷的人可以将第五题换成

Q5:你认为什么样的朋友最好呢?

Another day of Nothing Done 又一个什么都没做的日子

于是今天起来就什么都没干成……?真烦。照这种速度什么时候才能买回家的飞机票呢?

So I woke up today and basically did nothing? How frustrating. At this speed, when can I get to buy the plane ticket for home?

Sonic Riders 世界大赛模式通关。啊啊到底什么时候给我解锁奈兹(NiGHTS)啊!……还是看攻略算了。

Sonic Riders World Grand Prix mode cleared. Aargh, when are you going to unlock NiGHTS for me? … maybe I should just consult the walkthrough…

去买菜的时候 #twokinds 被聊天机器人攻击了。晚上做频道统计的时候才发现。

#twokinds was attacked by spam bots when I was grocery shopping. Only found this out when I uploaded the channel statistics in the evening.

总之就是很讨厌的一天。

In summary: an annoying day.

MabiWiki复兴会正式解散 MabiWiki Renaissance Team has officially disbanded

MabiWiki复兴会今天 (6月28日) 正式解散了。

麻痹怒气维基 是“歪歪大杂烩”论坛下设的关于网络游戏洛奇的 Wiki. 但不知什么原因许多页面被锁定,导致资料一度严重缺乏。于是圣之暗夜大胆的成立了~管YY要麻痹Wiki密码~同盟会同时也把拉迪拉了进来 (2007年4月26日,虽然拉迪在这之前就在麻痹怒气维基进行活动),这也是后来的 MabiWiki 复兴会的前身。

MabiWiki复兴会后来放弃了取得管理员密码的计划 (PukiWiki 没有账户的概念,管理操作是使用密码的),而改用复制页面进行更新的做法。在这一期间也有许多人加入MabiWiki复兴会,为 麻痹怒气维基 贡献了许多条目。

究竟为什么撤出,拉迪并不清楚。事件的导火索似乎是由于新技能“投掷”的描述页面。由于无聊以及找不到相关资料,投掷技能页面被卡库尔在内的若干人等恶搞成关于Wiki编辑的技能的玩笑页面。两个月后,前来找 (没有的) 投掷技能资料的某位玩家在失望的情况下留下了相当白目的留言。

但这似乎并不是 MabiWiki复兴会撤出的根本原因。根据在论坛上的部分讨论串,这件事掀起了复兴会内部以及公开的讨论。最后认为 MabiWiki复兴会已经被版友看作为 MabiWiki的管理团队,并且有部分人对复兴会有不信任感。

虽然歪歪大杂烩管理团队请求不要撤出并给予了密码,但仍然没有能够阻挡 MabiWiki复兴会撤出的决心。不过拿到了密码并解冻了页面,也算是~管YY要麻痹Wiki密码~同盟会最初的目的达到了吧。

6月28日晚上,圣之暗夜首先清空了MabiWiki复兴会在麻痹怒气维基的条目,而后离开了复兴会的讨论群。接下来拉迪也跟着退出了讨论群。一年又二个月的乐章到这里终于划上了休止符。

不过复兴会两位发起人的退出以及复兴会的解散,并不代表麻痹怒气维基的结束,相反则是新的开始。几乎所有页面都已经解除锁定,麻痹怒气维基又成为了所有人都可以编辑的洛奇百科全书,就像从前一样。原来复兴会的成员也会以个人名义进行编修。同时,拉迪也希望能够有人跟随着勇于编辑页面的精神,在那么多不知名玩家和复兴会的基础上将麻痹怒气维基建设得更好。

结束,不过是新的开始。

有缘,我们还会见面。

MabiWiki Renaissance Team have officially disbanded today (June 28th).

MabiWiki is a wiki about Mabinogi, the online game, established under the YY Hodgepodge forum. But for some unknown reason, many pages are frozen, leading to a serious lack of data. Thus D.K.Wings has boldly established ~Ask YY for MabiWiki Password~Alliance (May 2008, though Rady have been active on MabiWiki before that). This is also the predecessor of MabiWiki Renaissance Team.

In time, MabiWiki Renaissance Team abandoned the plan to get the master password (PukiWiki has no concept of accounts, admistrative actions are accessible only through password), and turned to make copies of pages for updates. During this time many people have joined MabiWiki Renaissance Team, and contributed many articles for MabiWiki.

Rady don’t know much about why the Renaissance Team evacuated, but it seems to be ignited by a trolling comment. The description page of a new skill – “Throw” – was written as a joke page about editing the Wiki by Kakur and others, as we were unable to find information and were bored. After this was written for two months, a fellow player looking for (non-existant) data about the Throw skill left a very provoking comment in disappointment.

But this does not seem to be the true reason MabiWiki Renaissance Team left. Based on discussion threads on the forum, the previous event has stirred up discussions both internal and in public, and it is agreed that MabiWiki Renaissance Team has been regarded as “The MabiWiki Management” (or The MabiWiki Cabal if you prefer), and there’s  an air of distrust among some people (weasel words).

Although the YY Hodgepodge Management Team has pleaded us not to leave and handed us the master password, this didn’t upturn the decision of leaving. Though, acquired the master password and unfroze the pages did, in a way, mean the earliest objective of ~Ask YY for MabiWiki Password~Alliance have been achieved…

In the night of June 28th, D.K.Wings have cleared the page of MabiWiki Renaissance Team on MabiWiki, and then left the discussion group of the Renaissance Team. In succession Rady has also left the discussion group. The movement, one year and two months long, has finally come to a rest.

However the exit of the two founders and the disbandment of Renaissance Team, doesn’t mean the end of MabiWiki. Almost all pages have been unlocked, MabiWiki has again become the Mabinogi Encyclopedia that any player can edit, just like when it was established by YY Hodgepodge. The Renaissance Team ex-members will also edit as themselves. In addition, Rady hopes that there will be someone who would follow the spirit of Being Bold in Updating Pages, building upon the base of many, many anonymous players and the Renaissance Team, a better MabiWiki.

The End is yet another new Start.

We shall meet again, if such is our destiny.
