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.

The 囧furs (文不对题 / content not related to title)

最近的生活很奇怪,时间不知不觉就从身边溜走了,想做的事情什么都没做到,更不要提报名、找房子和其它……然后昨天又被母亲下哀的美敦书,说15日内在上海见不到我的人就要举家飞到渥太华来了。不过这两天自我感觉还不错,也许目标可以达成?

前两天才发现日本放送会社的日语教程部分三个月前改版了。难看的网页和三百页丰富资料的免费配套书籍已成过去,现在的版本“实用日语100句”可以下载所有的录音 (以前只有前两个星期的录音)。考虑到NHK在北美并没有中文甚至是日文广播……短波收音机白买了。-w-

收到了SkyRain的赠图。把卡库尔画得很帅呢,呵呵。不过还需要再设定,现在的形象不像某空,不适于推倒,强行尝试的话可能会被逆推(?)。

对于浏览页面不回应过多会封锁的建议卡库尔不是很舒服,不过最后逐点指出了这个提议的缺陷。但不开心的事还是就忘掉算了……

聊天统计页面也换成新的样子了,不错!

Recently life has been a bit strange, time always slips past me without noticing. Nothing wanted to do is done, not to mention registration, housing and others… got an ultimatum from mom yesterday, saying if I’m not seen in Shanghai in 15 days she’ll fly the whole family to Ottawa. I’m feeling pretty well in the last two days though, so maybe it’s something that can be done?

Was only till a day or two ago did I discover Japan Broadcasting Company(NHK)’s Japanese lessons section has been revamped. Gone are the ugly web and 300-paged, tidbit enriched book for gratis, the current version “100 useful Japanese phrases” lets you download all the recordings (it used to be only for the last two weeks). Considering NHK doesn’t have any Chinese or even Japanese broadcasting in North America… Guess it was a waste to buy that short wave radio… -w-

Received a gift illust from SkyRain. Kakur was drawn pretty cool, heh. But my fursona needs further design. Unlike a certain Ark, my avatar is not suitable for toppling. Forced topple attempt may lead to counter-topple(?).

The chat statistics pages have gone under a face lift too. Not bad!

PS:What do you get if you stack Kitten on Kit on Kibi on Kakur on Ktem?
又及: 叠在(叠在(叠在 Ktem 上的 Kakur) 上的 Kibi) 上的 Kit 头上叠上 Kitten,你会得到什么东西?

又又及: 结果完全忘记说我最近生活多囧了。大概和囧没法翻译有关 (类似于你不会去翻译 "lulz")。
PPS: Totally forgot to say how 囧 my life is recently. Maybe it has something to do with me unable to translate 囧 (like how you won’t translate "lulz").

小懒猫忙到快疯掉 Lazy Kitty is Busy like Crazy

一个月以来,卡库尔几乎没有做什么事。虽然羊毛被竟然送去干洗的时候,竟然被洗缩水了。只好买了新的被子和奇怪花纹的被套……但除此之外就是每天呆在房间里。

所以昨天只是彻底清扫一下房间,叠起洗好的衣服,就已经累到不行。当然,这也许和清扫的对象有关——现在住的房间里用的是地毯,而清扫工具只有扫帚。整个房间的手工一点点用力的把嵌在地毯里的杂物扫出来。

之后又决定离睡觉还早,打开狼之乐园看看。大错误。结果一看就看到凌晨两点……

无论怎么说,接下来还有许多事要做。又要忙起来了……

卡库尔在考虑,是不是要在租一个网页空间,然后把 Kir’s Corner 搬到 WordPress 日志软件上。这样同时还可以运行MediaWiki和PHPBB,以及在网上发布一些卡库尔制作的PHP的小玩意儿。没有独立 IP 就是难受啊。^_^

For a month Kakur hasn’t been doing much. Though the woollen quilt was shrunk when I sent it to be dry-cleaned. Aww. Had to buy new quilt and cover with strange patterns… and not much else is done but staying in my own room.

So even when I only completely cleaned the room and folded the clothes after laundry, those chores made me really tired. Though this could be related to the object being cleaned – the room is carpet floored, and my only tool is a broom. So had to manually sweep out every bit of random litter stuck in the carpet.

Then I decided it’s still some time from sleep, and should visit Wolves’ Paradise. Big Mistake. Turned out it took five hours, and it wasn’t till past midnight did I went to bed.

Whatever. There’s still a lot to be done, and it’s gonna get busy now…

Kakur’s thinking, should I get a web hosting and move Kir’s Corner to WordPress weblog software. And I could run MediaWiki and PHPBB too. And publish some PHP gadgets Kakur made on the web. Days without a unique IP is painful. ^_^ Where’s my IPv9?

P.S. Borrowed some books about typography from the library.
又: 从图书馆借了几本关于字体排版的书。

黑石英的斯芬克斯,审证我的誓言 Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow

(搬运着纸箱的卡库尔,尾巴像是没梳好的样子。) 于是学年就这样结束了。成绩么,不重要(是你没考好吧!)。在学校里给自己找了一个临时的住处,不过,下学期开始的时候还要再次搬家。搬这一次就够累了,4 个包和 2 个纸箱子把卡库尔折腾得上气不接下气。并且,下学期住在哪里,还不清楚……至少这 4 个月不至于流落街头了吧。^_^

So the academic year hath ended like this. Performance is not important (you haven’t scored well in the test, have you). Found a temporary place to live in school, though I still need to move when the next term starts. Moving once is tiring enough — four bags and two cardboard boxed had Kakur running out of breath. And I have no idea where to live in the next term… at least I won’t be wondering around the streets for the next 4 months. ^_^

但是接下来,还有很多事情要做。除了住房,还有助学贷款和奖学金的申请(卡库尔发现按现在的情况,钱根本不够用!)、下学期课程的选择(应该不应该改读软件工程?选修视觉艺术怎么样?)、以及自己的私心时间(学习漫画/日语之类的)……再加上学校的餐厅暑假不营业,估计还会因此得到料理技能 F 级。即使不去外面找工作,也可以预见是很充实的一个假期啊。

But there’s still a lot of things to do next. In addition to housing, there’s still the application for loans and bursaries (Kakur just found out for current conditions I am already short on cash!), the course selection for next term (should I switch to Software Engineering? How’s Visual Arts for a minor?) and my own interests (manga / Japanese)… and the cafeteria does not run in the summer, thus I may also acquire Cooking skill Rank F. Even if I don’t try to find work outside, this is sure going to be a very interesting summer.

话说,考试结束无聊,竟然制作了一个自己的手写字体 Nekotoba (猫语叶)。虽然只是直接将我的手写制作成字体,竟然还用了两个晚上。现在全面涵盖 ASCII 所有的字符共 96 个,加上引号等标点共 105 个字符。下一个目标当然是 GB2312,但是汉字的数目是很大的。日本的“当用汉字”(在学校中教授的汉字)就有近 1900 个,而中国国家标准 GB2312 所包括的汉字,则有 6763 个(不知道日文假名和符号算不算在这 6763个字里)。6千字……要写死猫的(笑)。

By the way, I was kinda bored after the test, so I made a font called Nekotoba, based on my own handwriting. Even it’s only directly taking my handwriting and making it into a font, it took me two evenings. Now it has all 96 characters from ASCII, and punctuation like quotes for a total of 105 glyphs. The next target is, of course, ideographs from Chinese national standard GB2312, but the number of Han Characters is epic. The number of Kanji in use in Japan (in other words, the characters taught in school) is about 1900, and the glyphs defined in GB2312 is 6763 (don’t know whether Japanese Kana) and symbols count towards this 6763). Six thousand ideographs… that’s so gonna kill a cat.

那么,今天就到这里吧。じゃね~

So let that be all of today. Ja’ne~

粉蓝的明天仍在等待 Still Powder Blue Day Awaits

网络插口修好了。能够自由连接,真的是很痛快,不过一天到晚在电脑前的话确实会误很多该做的事。

电子设计课期末考试结束了,成绩好的话是不正常的。卡库尔对硬件毫无兴趣……不过,接下来该做什么好呢?是开始Mabi试玩呢,还是复习微积分好呢?拿不定主意啊。

希望能尽快找到暑假落脚的地方吧。

Network jack has been fixed. It feels so wonderful to be able to connect freely, though sitting in front of the computer all day really would make one miss a lot of things that need to be done.

Just completed the final exam of Electrical Design (I) course, and if I get a good score in it, I’ll say that’s an abnormal status. Kakur has no interest in hardware anyway…

What to do next though? Start a Mabi trial, or review Calculus? Can’t decide…

Hope I’ll find a place to stay in the summer soon.
