yeah, i haven’t posted in this in a while. oops.

anyway, i finally got my new site up and running. it’s sort of an evolution from kitsune paradise. it is called kitsuria network. the concept is the same – roleplaying and gaming community. it’s mostly just less (seemingly) restricted to just kitsune. the name comes from the world where my story “kitsurian chronicles” is taking place, and while it does have a dense kitsune population, many other species are present as well. the forums themselves remain open for just about anything.  i just have a few small things to finish on the site, and i can do those while doing actual work on the story.

what sucks is, it took me a long time to get to this point. besides procrastination, the apartment where i live is having electrical problems. at random intervals the power in half the apartment would just blink out for some amount of time. my bedroom happens to be on that half, and that’s where my main computer is. so i guess i can justify this by just plain being unmotivated because of this – i mean, i’d hate to be working hard on something just to lose it all due to a 5 second power hiccup. and this has been going on for three months. we’ve been contacting management about this to no avail.

on other news, i will be working on a new version of this blog, which will be hosted on the new domain. it might take a while since i’ve got other projects to work on. but, it will be better than this one.

well, finally, i got myself a “new” phone. and by “new”, i mean it is new to me. i bought it used off of e-bay. it may not be an upgrade as far as hardware specs go (first-gen mytouch 3g), but the fact it runs android is good enough for me. it’s good enough to hold me over until i can afford something more high end.

after activating my phone yesterday, i rooted it and installed cyanogenmod. it is far more responsive than my old phone. it runs great, even after having a few apps running in the background.

of course, something good doesn’t come without a few quirks. first thing i noticed was the in-call volume being very low, even at the highest setting and installing an audio hack (which worked awesomely for other sounds). another problem i have is that it doesn’t seem to detect when i plug it into either of my computers. according to osmonitor, it only believes that it’s getting AC power. the message log shows…some things i don’t quite understand that may be relevant to the issue (see pastebin).

other than those two issues, i can say i’m very happy with this phone. it makes me wish i went with android before.

yes, now i’ve decided to start using my livejournal again. to make updating it easier, i’ve decided to crosspost all my posts from my wordpress blog starting today. also, due to the massive amounts of spam comments i’ve been getting on livejournal, comments can only be made on my wordpress blog so i can manage them more easily.

i don’t have much else to say today. for those who are following my posts on livejournal and wanting to know what i’ve been up to lately, you can read my main blog.

You are The Devil

Materiality. Material Force. Material temptation; sometimes obsession

The Devil is often a great card for business success; hard work and ambition.

Perhaps the most misunderstood of all the major arcana, the Devil is not really "Satan" at all, but Pan the half-goat nature god and/or Dionysius. These are gods of pleasure and abandon, of wild behavior and unbridled desires. This is a card about ambitions; it is also synonymous with temptation and addiction. On the flip side, however, the card can be a warning to someone who is too restrained, someone who never allows themselves to get passionate or messy or wild - or ambitious. This, too, is a form of enslavement. As a person, the Devil can stand for a man of money or erotic power, aggressive, controlling, or just persuasive. This is not to say a bad man, but certainly a powerful man who is hard to resist. The important thing is to remember that any chain is freely worn. In most cases, you are enslaved only because you allow it.
