Posed in front of a mirror?
It’s a must! For a fursuiter it’s hard to judge your performances without seeing them from the outside. I didn’t realize I had my head looking downwards all AC until I looked in the mirror. I’ve also very often just go in front of the mirror and enjoy my fursuit’s irrestible cuteness. “Who’s a good puppy? Who’s a good puppy? I’m a good puppy! I’m a good puppy!” I blame this akita. (Since revamped: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3AEdxV9-Z10)
在镜子前面摆过姿势吗？
那是一定要的啦！作为兽装穿着者不用从外面看而评判自己的表现是一件难事。直到照镜子之前我都没有意识到自己整个AC都在低头。我也经常会到镜子之前什么都不干就是享受我的兽装的无法抗拒的可爱。“谁是只好狗狗啊？谁是只好狗狗啊？我是只好狗狗！我是只好狗狗！”这都要责怪那只秋田犬 (YouTube链接)。(后来重做过了:YouTube链接)

Been shopping/to a supermarket/store in fursuit?
Subway and Macs (convienence store). As for supermarkets, naw. The local mall forbids masks, and I fear some venues would have the same policy. Plus, I’d rather not have somebody filming me and add a creepy sound track saying “he wants to live his animal life so much, he would not take his costume off.”
穿着兽装购物/去过超市/商店吗？
赛百味和Macs (便利店)。其他地方，不敢。附近的购物中心不允许戴面具，我怕其他地方也有这样的规定。并且万一有人录像，配上吓人的解说，“他如此地想作为一只动物活着，从来都不会把这套装束脱下来”就……

Been group suiting?
出过兽装团吗？

Nevah. I’ve been fursuiting with a group on Canada day, but that’s like a mini-parade than actual group suiting.
米有。在加拿大日参加过兽装游行，不过那算不了兽装团。

Ever put on your fursuit for no reason and worn it for an extended period of time?
有没有没理由穿兽装的时候穿了很长一段时间？
… can’t think of any (有时候睡觉会穿？)
… 想不起来有那种情况 (will wear sometimes when sleeping?)

Have you walked around your hometown in fursuit?
With my hometown, Shanghai, 11337 kilometres (7044 miles) away from Ottawa, it’s a little bit difficult… But it will be done, someday.
在出身城镇穿过兽装吗？
上海离渥太华11337千米 (7044英里)，会有难度吧……不过某一天会做到的。

Fursuited in a different state?
Province, you insensitive clod, and no.
在其他州穿过兽装吗？
省，你这不关心人的土坷垃，以及没有。

In a different country?
See below question.
别的国家？
请见下一问。

Fursuited at a con? If so, how many times?
I bought this fursuit on impulse at AC2011; wore all Saturday and Sunday. Also at Condition:Red (2011). Not as much as at AC, but definitely more than my roommate who barely fursuited at all.
兽展穿过兽装吗？穿过几次？
这件兽装是我在AC2011冲动买下来的；整个周六和周日都在穿。还有就是在 Condition:Red (2011)。没有AC那么多，不过绝对比带了兽装都没怎么穿的室友要多。

Eaten in fursuit?
穿兽装吃过东西吗？
I want to resell this fursuit later, so no eating. Plus, this fursuit isn’t that good for eating; the mouth is glued on the sides.
打算以后卖掉这件兽装，所以不可以吃东西。另外这件兽装不适合吃东西; 嘴两边是粘上的。

Drank in fursuit?
穿兽装喝过东西吗？
Yeah, lots of water, but no beverages, because my plastic water pouchs will need cleaning if I put beverages in it. Oh, you mean alchohol? I don’t drink alchohol. If I need my self-restraint turned off, I just put on my fursuit. In a few moments it would be like I have drank alchohol.
喝了很多水，不过没喝过饮料，因为塑料水袋放饮料会发臭。哦你是说喝酒？我不喝酒。如果我需要关闭自己的自制力，穿上兽装，就变得无法无天了XD

Put on someone else’s fursuit?
It is my ambition to wear every fursuit in the world (that fits). To date, I have tried on 7 fursuits that I don’t own: Zets (head only), Prefectionist’s, Windrunner, ~BlueMoon, head swap with Clouwy, Amigo (first time wearing a full fursuit), and a fursuiter who probably would not prefer to be mentioned (his bodysuit is done, but he’s still looking for a good maker to build his head). In addition, I swapped my fursuit for Shekkakat’s fursona cosplay.
穿过别人的兽装吗？
我的野心是试穿世界上的每一件兽装 (仅限能穿得下的)。到目前为止我试穿过7件不是自己的兽装：Zets (仅头)、Prefectionist的、Windrunner, ~BlueMoon, 和Clouwy换头，Amigo(第一次试穿全套装！)以及一位估计不会喜欢名字被提到的兽装穿着者 (他的身子已经做好了，但是还没有想好请谁来做头部)。另外我还用自己的兽装换过Shekkakat的兽设Cosplay。

Ruined the magic in public?
I have walked around in AC with my head off for quite a long time. As for the general public, I took my head off when a group of children at a park demanded it, as mentioned above.
公众场合摘下过头吗？
在AC拿着头走过很长一段时间。至于公众，限以上儿童强烈要求把头拿下来的一次。

Gone to a furmeet in suit?
First in Prefectionist’s, then at Canada Day (the national holiday) my own. One day I’ll attend a furmeet as my fursona.
穿着兽装参加过兽聚吗？
曾穿着Prefectionist的去过，而后在加拿大日 (国庆) 穿了自己的。某一天我要以自己兽设的身份参加兽聚。

Been in a moving car while in suit?
I fursuited on a Greyhound bus once, way back from AC2011. (Some passenger asked “are you one of those people on CSI” -.-)
在运动中的车里穿过兽装吗？
一次在Greyhound (城际巴士公司) 的大巴上穿过，从AC2011回来的时候。 (有乘客问我“你是不是CSI上讲的那些人-.-”)

Been glomped while in suit?
I’ve had lots of hugs. I think I’ve been viciorously hugged once or twice, if that’s what you mean.
穿着兽装被扑抱过吗？
我被抱过许多次。有一两次特别的猛烈，如果你指的是那种情况的话。

Glomped someone while in suit?
I used to pounce people before I even had a fursuit! I did try to pounce someone in suit (make sure to approach the suiter from the -front- if you do this), but I forgot what happened next.
穿着兽装扑抱过别人吗？
以前没有兽装的时候我也扑过人！有兽装之后确实扑抱过别的兽装 (请一定一定从兽装穿着者的前方接近)。

Made a child smile?
Most of them are afraid of me. But the group who demanded me take my head off were ectastic.
把小孩子弄笑过吗？
大部分都怕我。不过强烈要求把偷拿下来的那群完全乐疯了。

Danced?
Can’t. Unless you count the Con:Red dead dog party where I flailed in suit from 23:57 to 00:00.
跳过舞吗?
跳不了。除非你算上在AC和Con:Red不到五分钟的胡乱挥舞……

Been in a fursuit dance competition?
参加过兽装舞蹈竞赛吗？
Wouldn’t last three seconds. I should try learning streetdancing like breaking, or even better, para para. Next year’s Anthrocon is themed “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”. Perhaps someone should go and do non-street (tango, ballet, etc.) dancing.
撑不了三秒。我应该去学街舞，例如 b-boying，或者 para para 的话更好了。明年 Anthrocon 主题是 “仲夏夜之梦” 。也许谁应该去竞赛跳古典舞蹈 (探戈、芭蕾，等等)。

Done something that attracted a large group of people while in suit?
Never had a group as large as street jugglers. Aformentioned group that demanded my head off was the largest group.
穿兽装做过什么吸引了一大群人的事吗？
以上所说的强烈要求把头拿下来团是聚集的最多的人。从来没有说像是街头杂技艺人那样的流行度。

Experienced a hater?
I had people who watched CSI but they mostly just find me cute, if a bit kinky. However at Condition:Red, there was a child being carried, who enjoyed seeing me. But when I tried to apporach, her mother turned around and said something like “How dare you apporach my daughter like that!” As for real “GTFO FURFAG” haters, no.
经历过仇恨者吗？
不少人看过那集CSI，不过他们大部分都觉得我很可爱，虽然可能也觉得有一点点变态吧。不过在Condition:Red有一个被抱着的小孩子，看见我很高兴。不过当我上前去的时候，抱着她的母亲说 “你怎么敢这样接近我的女儿！” 至于真的“你██的滚开你这兽控变态”仇恨者，还没有。

Longest time in fursuit? (what counts as being in suit is up to you)
穿兽装最长的时间？(什么算是穿着由你决定)
I once went to downtown CBD/around parliament and suited up, where a group of children at a park demanded my head to be taken off. I’ve only taken my head off twice that trip.
一次一个人去议会附近转悠，公园里的小孩子集体要求把头摘下来。那次出去只把头摘下来过两次。
About three hours. I’m a new fursuiter, and still learning how to manage between dehydration and having to empty the bladder. Usually I have to do that every hour.
一共大约三小时。我对兽装还是新上手，还在学习怎么保持在脱水和经常清空膀胱之间的平衡。一般一小时就要上一次厕所。

And finally…
最后……
Most memorable moment in fursuit?
穿兽装最值得纪念的时刻？
Condition:Red fursuit games, specifically the musical chairs. I won! But I’ve never exerted myself so much since I graduated from high school. You can read all about it in my con report! The section on the fursuit games is about as long as the rest of the article.
Condition:Red 兽装游戏，特别是抢椅子。我赢了！不过自高中毕业以后我从来没有这么累过。你可以在我的兽展报告里面读到详细描述。兽装游戏的那段几乎是整个文章的一半。

Writing this meme is fun! Translating it, isn’t fun at all. :< 写这篇问卷好开心！翻译这篇问卷好无聊。 :< P.S. Rover Mutt fursuit by Made Fur You (worn by Syber at AC2011) is up for auction, very cheap! Only one day left!

Anthrocon 2011 图集+纪事 (Day -1)

首先，自我介绍一下。 First some self introductions.

  • 卡库拉迪 Kakurady
  • 加拿大籍华人，生于上海 Canadian citizen, born in Shanghai
  • 中文WikiFur创始人之一 One of the founders of the Chinese WikiFur
    • 懒猫一只 One lazy kitty
    • 实际最近编辑最勤劳的竟然是狼之乐园网管狼王白牙？！ The one who is actually most dilligent in editing recently is actually Alphawolf Kiba Whitefang, administrator of Wolves’ Paradise?
  • 心血来潮想参加 Anthrocon, 经过父母允许就出行了 Randomly decided to attend Anthrocon, came after getting parents’ permission
  • 第二次参加兽展 (第一次是在二周前，蒙特利尔的 What the Fur) Second time to a furry convention (first time was two weeks ago, What the Fur at Montreal)

从加拿大首都渥太华，到匹茨堡，中途转车四次 (没办法，飞机贵)，周二早晨七点出发，周三凌晨四点抵达。折腾了半天，才联系到拼房间的兽友，在Omni William Penn 酒店安顿下来，之后被拉到 Anthrocon 的主酒店， Westin. 大堂竟然已经陆续有不少人抵达了。
From the capital of Canada, Ottawa, to Pittsburgh, three transfers in between (planes are expensive), departing on seven on Tuesday, arriving on four a.m. on Wednesday. After quite a few trips, finally found the furry who I was sharing room with, settled at Omni William Penn hotel, then was dragged to Anthrocon’s main hotel, Westin. Surprisingly there are already many people who have arrived at the lobby.

如果您认识兽装人物或其穿着者请告诉我以便添加连接 If you know any fursuit characters or their performers please tell me for linking

不过来匹茨堡访问的并不只有兽友。虽然这些访客对毛绒绒的动物角色大多都很喜欢，在门厅堵着一大堆人肯定会造成交通堵塞……于是Anthrocon “动物园”提前开放。“动物园” 在酒店的三楼，专门为兽友之间聊天所设，也是将兽流从门厅这样的高流量区域引开的措施。卡库尔前往的时候，正好工作人员在开门……所以就上去开了最后一扇门。也就成了第一个到动物园的动物（？ But there are more furries who visit Pittsburgh. Though those guests all like furry animal characters, having a lot of people at the lobby will certainly cause traffit congestion… so the ANthrocon “Zoo” opens early. The “Zoo” is at the third floor of the hotel, specifically for chatting between furries, and also a measure to lead furries away from the high-traffic areas like the lobby. When Kakurady was heading there, a hotel worker happen to be opening the door… so I went up to open the last door. And became the first animal to come to the Zoo (?

解决imagettftext()因为–enable-gd-jis-conv导致乱码的另一种方法

虽然 imagettftext() 文档标明只接受UTF-8编码，但如果PHP编译时启用–enable-gd-jis-conv选项的话，那么非ASCII字符(例如汉字、拼音、希腊文和箭头) 会被当成EUC-JP编码 (phpinfo中美其名曰“支持JIS编码的字体”), 从而导致乱码(由于西文字体没有假名或汉字，一般表现为全部是方框)。

Although imagettftext() documentation indicates it only accepts UTF-8 encoding, but if –enable-gd-jis-conv is specified when compiling PHP, then non-ASCII characters (like Chinese, accented characters, Greek and arrows) will be (mis-)treated as EUC-JP encoding (referred to as “JIS-mapped Japanese Font Support” in phpinfo) leading to mojibake (this usually shows up as hollow rectangles, as most fonts for western text lacks glyphs for kanji or kana).

网上大部分对此的解决方法是重新编译PHP，但是这只有自己架设服务器的时候才有用。对于付费空间 (特别是每个月不到1美元的付费空间) 就没辙了。不过imagettftext()也接受另外一种字符表示方法，类似HTML的字符参考。说“类似”是因为GD只接受数字参考，所以内部函数 (如 mb_convert_encoding) 转出来的没用。 以下的函数可以将UTF-8转换成字符参考:

A popular response online is to recompile PHP, but that only works if you’re running your own server. For paid hosting (especially paid hosting that costs less than a dollar a month) this method is kinda stumped. But imagettftext() also accepts another way for representing characters, similar to HTML’s character references. “Similar” because it only accepts numeric references, so named references converted by internal functions (like mb_convert_encoding) is of no use. The function below converts UTF-8 into character references:

//created by Kakurady
//no rights reserved
//no warranties explicit or implicit either
function to_entities($string){
    $len = strlen($string);
    $buf = "";
    for($i = 0; $i < $len; $i++){
        if (ord($string[$i]) <= 127){
            $buf .= $string[$i];
        } else if (ord ($string[$i]) <192){
            //unexpected 2nd, 3rd or 4th byte
            $buf .= "&#xfffd";
        } else if (ord ($string[$i]) <224){
            //first byte of 2-byte seq
            $buf .= sprintf("&#%d;",
                ((ord($string[$i + 0]) & 31) << 6) +
                (ord($string[$i + 1]) & 63)
            );
            $i += 1;
        } else if (ord ($string[$i]) <240){
            //first byte of 3-byte seq
            $buf .= sprintf("&#%d;",
                ((ord($string[$i + 0]) & 15) << 12) +
                ((ord($string[$i + 1]) & 63) << 6) +
                (ord($string[$i + 2]) & 63)
            );
            $i += 2;
        } else {
            //first byte of 4-byte seq
            $buf .= sprintf("&#%d;",
                ((ord($string[$i + 0]) & 7) << 18) +
                ((ord($string[$i + 1]) & 63) << 12) +
                ((ord($string[$i + 2]) & 63) << 6) +
                (ord($string[$i + 3]) & 63)
            );
            $i += 3;
        }
    }
    return $buf;
}

imagettftext($im, 11, 0, 5, 11, $black, $font,  to_entities($text));

应该复习，却鼓捣这东西……

777: 7 courses, 7 days, 7 assignments.

好吧7门作业对于中国大学生来说根本算不了什么-w-
The title is not a reference to 999: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors. No, it’s not! Uh-uh! Nope!

So for some slackitude reasons, I had 6 assignments piled up, all due on the week of Feburary 1st or the Monday immediately after. (Actually 7, as I forgot to ask for one professor’s web site.) Since there is an anime con in the weekend, my plan was to complete everything during the weekdays, for there won’t be any time to do them during the weekend, and undone homework would be a really bad thing to have at a con.

During the week, I handed in a web client and suh-vuh, a demo of a ball bouncing in a dish, a token ring simulator (kinda) and an artificial stupidity. 2 Java classes, one C++ project, one C file, and the odd one Python spaghetti (glad that semicolon does nothing in Python), one missed class (just… one… more… compile…), and everything’s finally done… on Saturday lunchtime. The panels I wanted to go are all finished. Oh well, better slow than missed bugs, I suppose.

大概是因为懒惰的关系吧，从二月一日到二月八日的一个星期多一天，竟然堆了7门作业要交 (虽然有一门我不知道)。打算周末去动漫展，所以决定在周末前把作业全部做完——没做完的作业可不是一件适合带到动漫展的东西。

一周中交上了网络客户端和糊误器各一件，在盘子里弹跳的球一个，令牌网模拟器一块，还有人工无能一只。2个Java类、一个C++工程、一个C文件、还有明显不同的Python乌东面一份 (还好多写一个分号也没问题)，终于在……周六中午完成了。想去的动漫展讲座，全部讲完了。哎，总比漏了程序错误强吧。

今年是第二次参加GAnime，大概是因为懒惰的关系吧，没有提前注册，而是在现场缴的入场费。因为没有像去年一样和兽友在一起，并且照相机也不见了，所以感觉比较没劲。

展览会场作过了装修，今年感觉十分的现代 (后现代? 后后现代?)，但是不知道为什么，面向中庭的窗全被用儿童画盖上了。实话说，不和谐。当然，从窗看下去，展会的忙碌和外面的购物中心的空荡，确实差别很大。不过我还是觉得，能够看到参展者吃饭 (特别是动漫展的时候，coser 在吃饭) 会觉得这地方很亲近。

游戏室周日很早就撤了，《王国之心II》存档记录时间:6 小时。也许不应该呆在游戏室，而是去听听讲座什么的。去年的动漫藏书室，今年是放映室，唯一的一个英语放映室。

结论：不管是动漫展还是兽展，一个人去就没有意思。

This is the second time attending GAnime, so for some slackitude reasons, I didn’t register beforehand, and paid admission on the spot instead. Because didn’t had furries together like last time, and my camera also disappeared, it was relatively less interesting.

The location has been renovated, it feels very modern this year (post-modern? post-post-modern?); but for some reason the windows to the atrium have been covered with drawings by children. Frankly, not harmonious. Of course, between the busy conference center up here and the empty shopping center down there, it is a big contrast. But I still feel it makes the place friendlier if you can see other attendees (especially in the case of anime con, cosplayers) eating.

The games room were cleaned out very early on Sunday, save record for Kingdom Hearts II indicates playtime of 6 hours. Maybe I should have gone to panels instead. Where was manga library last year, was a screening room this year, the only English one.

Conclusion: No matter if it’s an anime con or a furry con, going alone is not very interesting.

Perfect Day

Recently I’m having a bit of… issues with my browsing habits. In one week, I had two day-long sessions of endless gaming and random web browsing, while assignments (and garbage) pile up. And I had hardly a day that I slept well.

So when I came out from the first period, still sleepy, I thought to myself, even if I can’t do my best all the time, I’ll at least do it for today. Even if I think I can’t, it helps to try, right? Just a little experiment. And I had a busy morning, took a nap, wrote some mail, etc.

While I was preparing to leave, I thought since the next class is of a course I’m retaking, and I don’t need to listen, why not take the laptop there?

Well, turns out if I have a computer, in addition to showing the course notes, I can also keep myself distracted with lots of new happenings and tangentially related definitions to the lecture. Lack of power outlet doesn’t hinder me at all. I can’t even write this blog post with the urge to check something else.

In the end, my perfect day experiment was not a success.
