ARIA The Natural - 16
Published by July 17th, 2006 in ARIA The Natural and Anime Blogs. 3 Comments 224 ViewsToday, I can officially graduate!
Published by July 17th, 2006 in Miscellaneous. 3 Comments 75 ViewsDespite it being 9am I am surprised that I woke up just before 9am. Anyway today was the day that I get my uni results for my final 4 subjects. And as expected I have passed all of them. But to be exact one Distinction, two Credits, and one Pass. Now all I have to do is wait for the letters and such about graduation to come from the uni. I’m pretty happy about all of this and looks like I’ll be joining the workforce from now on. Last week I’ve already applied for a few jobs that I saw on SEEK.com.au and I’ll be looking at some more later this week.
ARIA The Natural PS2 game
Published by July 15th, 2006 in ARIA The Natural and Games. 2 Comments 326 ViewsI’d never thought I would see it, but here it is, ARIA The Natural PS2 game. Annouced on AriaCompany.net a few days ago but got held back from blogging the anime series.
- 『ARIA The NATURAL ～遠い記憶のミラージュ～』 (ARIA The NATURAL ~Mirage of a Distant Memory~)
- Manufacturer: Alchemist
- Platform: PS2
- Genre: AVG
- Release date: September 28, 2006
- Price:
Regular edition: 7,140 yen (including tax)
Limited edition: 10,290 yen (including tax)
Its such a shame that I am most likely not going to import this as I don’t have a modded PS2 to play it on. And also that Amazon Japan do not ship any software outside of Japan. So more than likely the only place to buy this is Yahoo Japan auctions.
The limited edition version come with SD figures of Akari, Alicia and President Aria (images from dengekionline.com)

Though for those in Japan:
Limited Edition on Amazon Japan
Regular Edition on Amazon Japan
At the Official Kanon TV 2006 Homepage, there is a new trailer available for viewing. The new Kanon is starting to look good and since it is being produced by Kyoto Animation (the same company to do Air and Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu) I’m expecting great things. Though I am unsure at this point if the new series will be 13 or 24 episodes. I’m praying for the later.
Or if you want to view the youtube version, thanks to Varion from Haeleth’s forums for posting this one.
Well yesterday I happened to have bought a 300 GB Seagate SATA HDD from a friend of mine since he needs money. Got around to installing it and I now have finally replaced 1 of 3 IDE drives. My plan for my computer is to replace all my IDE HDDs with SATA drives. Now I only 2 left to go! But also because of this means that I could set up my two 200 GB SATA drives and start running RAID 0. Now I know this is a bit risky but I’m willing to take the chance. Maybe later I might get another drive and change it to RAID 5, who knows.
But of course, after setting everything back up and reinstalling Windows, my second LCD monitor decides to die on me. I was messing around with the dualview settings and since this monitor is running analog, it flickers now and then depending on what I am doing. After much flickering the power to the monitor just went dead. So now I get a slight squealing sound from the monitor’s power block. Well it’s a good thing it’s only the power block. But this monitor is damn old and finding a replacement won’t be easy. Well I have another friend who may be able to help me out on this as I am not really upto buying a second monitor. Though I wouldn’t mind having a new one but not right now.
