Seasonal Desktops

Yesterday I was fairly bored and was browsing through my wallpapers I have saved to my computer.  Upon the searching I was in my head trying to picture a nice desktop featuring something…well nice, but nothing too perverted.  I mean yes a half naked anime girl is always nice to have, but not all the time.  Then it hit me.  Halloween is coming up soon, so how about a Halloween wallpaper.  Luckily I had a few and chose the one above.

Most of you know what my desktop looks like, so no need to give a screenshot, plus I am sure most would much rather have a wallpaper without my icons all over it XD.  The timing for a Halloween theme computer was good.  Remember Mabinogi?  That MMO I posted about some time ago, well my girlfriend decided she wanted to play it with me.  She downloaded it on her crazy fast internet nearly 800 Kb/s…*sigh* mine is…3 Kb/s….curse her internet XD.

I got the game updated and noticed that even in MMO land people are decorating for Halloween with the town banners, pumpkins in the town square, as well as the Halloween events taking place.  Though during my play I was showing Michelle (gf) how to play.  Though she figures things out quickly…she is a genious.  Even had a few romantic moments here and there.

My question, do you enjoy holiday events in your MMO games?  Do you decorate your desktop for different holidays?

WordPress Polls!!!!

This is pretty nice, I was just doing my post the other day and took notice of a new “Add Poll” option in the editor.  Those of you who use wordpress are aware of some of the issues posting polls.  WordPress does not allow javascript or some HTML tags due to security issues so when making polls there are only certain sites that work.  Polldaddy.com was one of the main sites.  Well, finally WordPress has made it built into their editor making polls easy to add to your blog post.  I had always wanted to do polls here and there on the blog, but was too lazy to do a lot of searching for one that would actually work.Now that I can do them, allow me to try a poll out for a test run.

For those wondering, this is a picture that a poll has been done on Danny Choo.  Just needed something to test the new polling thing out…..wonder how I am supposed to get the poll itself centered now XD.

Trip to Books A Million

The girl on the front looked so adorable I had to get it XD

Right afterschool my mom and dad picked me up.  If you are unaware of this, my dad and mom never pick me up only when they have something planned for me to do.  Well I get outside in the school parking lot then my mom gets out the car and gets in the backseat.  Then I am told to get in and drive to Columbia.  Which is the South Carolina capitol.  When I asked why all I got was “We just want to see it”  Of course having no other option I drove.  This was my first time driving here so I was not really sure what turns to take.  My mom and dad were a bit reluctant to tell me directions.  They wanted me to figure out for myself.

All said and done though.  I drove nearly got in an accident 3 times trying to get home fast enough to catch Michelle after school so me and her could talk.  I hate missing time to talk with my Michelle XD.  Oh well, I DID go to Books A Million on a whim and decided to get some books.  Though I made a mistake.  The series I bought, Kamichama Karin Chu is a sequel to another series.

Too bad I cannot read them yet T_T

I bought the frist 2 books and not sure to read them or not.  Hard to read something that is a sequel.  I did some research the previous series Kamichama Karin is a 7 book series that I can get for around 70 USD on Justmanga.com.  Now I need to save my money XD

Google Chrome, My Thoughts

I am aware that Google Chrome has been out for a long time now, but I decided to finally try it out for myself and give a review after 2 weeks of use.  My final thoughts on Chrome are this…if you are a sworn Firefox user stick with Firefox.

Google Chrome Browser

Personally speaking I have used Firefox for a long time now. I have always admired the tab system it uses and even though IE now has that system I still enjoy Firefox. I even dabbled a little in using Lolifox for those who might have heard of that. Some of the anime sites I go to now were because they were pre-bookmarked with Lolifox. This is about Google Chrome though.

Could not find a Google Chrome Logo pic.....on Google Image Search O_o

Design was pretty good. They did not make it an exact clone of any internet browsers I have seen. Though the bad thing is that there is only one theme and themes are not easily changeable. There are ways to do it, and I ended up giving mine a Deviant Art color scheme through this site:

Browsing and use were good as well. When first opening Chrome is shows some screenshots with sites you like to visit and site you have last visited. Though might be good for someone who is on a family computer looking at hentai.

Everything seems pretty nice so far, though here is where I ran into a problem. Some of the site I visit ran into some serious problems trying to load. As well as the fact that some pop windows that some sites us e to display smiles were a bit messy for me. My biggest problem was using WordPress. If you look at my previous post there was some issues with the picture captions. I was using Google Chrome at the time. I am a pretty devoted user to WordPress due to the ease of use. When I saw that Chrome was giving me problems I was right back to Firefox.
