Happy Birthday* to Grapes!

*in advance, on my time zone

Happy Birthday to you, Prue! I hope you have a very Happy Easter as well!

Hope you have a 'swell Easter too!

Guys, Prudie's birthday is January 17th. April 1st is the birthday of the character Sour Grapes. Well, at least she said so in one episode.

So yeah, happy birthday to the motherly "villain" of the 2003-2007 Strawberry Shortcake universe.


As for Easter, I'll be going to Church as usual. Other than that there will be nothing special. I have exams after all, I have to prepare.

First time I've ever seen the real Bubu ChaCha kiddie ride, even if it's a video on Youtube. And wow, it looks big. The fake ones I see all the time are much smaller...

For a while I thought my PC or the drivers are being bonkers, but as it turns out I had to replace the rumble motor on my cheapo joystick with a spare one.

Oops, sorry for confusing your birthday, Prue. But Happy Birthday to both you and Sour Grapes anyway!

As for me, I'm getting some accessories for my Famiclone consoles. I ordered some spare controllers for my FC3 Plus since they are a strange proprietary thing. I'm still on the fence over better SNES controllers. Can't determine whether to get the RetroBit wireless controller or just get a cheaper kind. My current SNES controller is fine I guess, but the D-Pad can be pressed in completely and it's colored black thanks to using a Black/Silver Famiclone at one point and the FC Twin is Pearl and Purple.

EDIT: Decided to get one pictured in the link below, which is from yours truly... back in 2008. Cheap, but I had good experiences with these particular "Super Pads".

I was going to go for the Kubuntu 15.04 final beta, but decided to try it in VirtualBox.

Far more stable than the alpha, but one of the updates made the system unstable yet again, so I guess I'm sticking with 14.10 until the new version hits gold.

Ugh, I have the bug.

Happy Easter all! ^^

Can't celebrate much because I'm in the middle of mid-semester exam period. Wish me luck.

Well, we really didn't have much of an Easter dinner this year due to other reasons I'll disclose soon, but still, it's a nice day to relax and try to master "F-16 Fighter Falcon" for the NES.

Said game is part of the Camerica "Quattro Arcade" unlicensed cartridge, but unlike most unlicensed games, these four are actually good since they were made by Codemasters in the UK.

I shall try F-16 Fighter Falcon again tomorrow, and I'm thinking of trying to master The Lion King after that... probably the SNES version due to it's higher quality music. (wish I could run the PC version though, which has even higher quality music depending on what sound card you have)

[RAMChYLD]

Right, PC version. You'll need a Gravis Ultrasound for the best music. You can get away with a SoundBlaster 16, but avoid Adlib.
