Cats and finances

The two items in the title aren’t really related but they sum up today’s entry. My cat had to be visited by the vet, that diagnoesed renal insufficiency and strong dehydration. Something to be worry about, but it will be at lest kept under control soon. The second part of the entry deals with the fact that I’m trying to find a decent finance program that works under Linux (no thanks to any program on Windows, sorry): I tried KMyMoney but aside the fact that it doesn’t have any Italian template, it’s a little confusing.

Unfair treatment?

Recently my hosting service has been boasting service upgrades. However I didn’t see any changes in my control panel. So, I emailed them, and their reply was that it was valid only for customers signing up from November 9th (because they had set up new servers). However, I find it quite unfair, since I pay the same price as the people who will sign up, and get less. Looks like I’ll have to change hosting again in the future…

Roc Star... yet again

I decided to get on FFXI this morning and I got “recruited” again for some Roc camping. Since I haven’t really helped with that thing recently, I decided to join the expedition. Luckily there was no competition, since people went either away or fell asleep (it was the heart of the night in the States, go figure). The nasty beast decided to appear only at the end of the window. It was a fast and rather plain fight, and no great rewards (crimson blade, vile elixir, reraiser) that even got lost because someone was too hasty in warping, bah.

New Year

And so it comes again. I personally didn’t want to celebrate, but I had some people over at home anyway. At least it was more or less calm. There were fireworks in the distance, and some landed up right in my terrace (no damage luckily). More or less, a decent night, though I still personally think that celebrations like that (with the exception being Carnival, which is worse) are more or less pointless.

New books

I recently got myself a couple of new books, thanks to the folks at Archonia: [![Sakura Taisen V Original & Format Collection]({{ site.url }}/images/stvbook_thumb.jpeg)]({{ site.url }}/images/stvbook.jpeg){: .center-image } This is the first one, Sakura Taisen V Original & Format Collection. It’s like a very detailed encyclopedia on the game, including character profiles, sketches, interviews with the staff and the voice actors. It’s quite a thick book: I may think about scanning something in the future, but I’m not sure now.

Up and running

It’s up at last, though the header image is still missing. I’ll patch it up so I can use one I was provided (but that has text I’d like removed). This marks the return of dennogumi.org, in the form of a (mostly anime-oriented) blog, as there’s really no more demand for web pages that provide information (sadly). UPDATE: Oops, I forgot about link pages. I’ll have to ask Melissa to fix the logo.
