My Favorite Anime Girls for Fall 2010
Saturday, December 25th 2010
The month is December, the year 2010 is about to end and the next anime season will be Winter 2011. Over this single season of Fall 2010, I followed 7 anime series in total. One of them Amagami SS is a continuation from the last season, while the other 6 are the ones that started and ended within this single season. The following lists are my favorite girl from each of those anime.
1. Rihoko from Amagami SS
Rihoko is one of the heroine in romance comedy Amagami SS. Unlike other romance anime adapted from dating sims, Amagami SS is the first anime I know that assigned equal number of episodes for all main heroine in the dating sims. Yeah, that means that since the anime have 24 total episodes and 6 main heroines, every 4 episodes the main character will end with one of the six heroine and start again with the next one.
Rihoko is the childhood friend of the main character, who already have a crush on him since a long time but never got the chance to tell him about her feeling. She is also a bit plump compared to other heroines in the series, which is why she want to start dieting. Her dieting is in fact the main source of various comedies in her arc.
Rihoko had been my favorite since the beginning of the series and I had been anxiously waiting for her route since about the fifth episode of the series. Too bad she is also the only girl being friend-zoned by the main character, which means she is the only girl who didn't even get to kiss with the main character.
Well, it seems that not only I the one who was disappointed by her ending in the anime. Hitler was as pissed. In fact, whatever said by Hitler in the movie clip about is roughly what I thought by the end of her arc. Unlike Hitler however, I don't find it necessary to nuke anyone ( not yet ). As much as I don't like how Rihoko ends being friend-zoned, I still like the series as a whole.
2. Ika Musume from Shinryaku!!Ika Musume
Well honestly, it is a bit hard for me to decide between Sanae Nagatsuki and Ika Musume from this series. I like both characters because they are the main source of gags and comedies in this series. So I simply decided by screen time. But honestly I like both characters and I planned to buy their nendos as soon as they are out.
Anyway, Amiami (google it up) sell some talisman that include Sanae and Ika-chan as part of their design. The Ika-chan talisman is for Good Luck in Invading and the Sanae talisman is for Good Luck in Dating. However, I really doubt that these talismans will actually work since in the anime Ika-chan is known to fail her invading mission and Sanae's failed really bad at making Ika-chan to fall to her ( Not really surprising to me since her style of approach is too stalker-like ). But I am still going to purchase these talismans anyway, since I think they are interesting items to have.
3. Elsie from The World God only Knows
Elsie is a demon sent from hell as a part of the Loose Souls Squad. These Loose Souls Squads seems to be squads of demons who have the responsibility to catch loose souls and return them to hell. The problem is that those loose souls likes to hide in the heart of human beings, which means that she need the help of someone to fill their heart to drive the loose souls out of the heart. That someone is an avid galge gamer who happens to be the main character.
While seems to be a bit lack of common sense, she is actually the one who become the voice of reason during the series. Especially when the main characters is out there spouting nonsense he learned from playing too much galge.
4. Kanade from Fortune Arterial
Yuki Kanade is one of the main heroine of Fortune Arterial, another anime in this list that was adapted from a dating sim. She is the older sister of Yuki Haruna and both sisters are the childhood friends of the main characters who just start studying in Shuchikan Academy. Compared to her more mature little sister, she is a bit childish and is the genki-girl type.
Why I like her? Well, I have some kind of weakness towards girls who wear beret or hat, both in anime and in real. The other reason is well, I also like the genki-girl side of her and the fact that while she is childish most of the time, she can be mature and wise when needed.

Ika Musume and its various crossover with other internet meme
Thursday, December 23rd 2010
Shinryaku!! Ika Musume is one of my favorite anime for Autumn 2010. The story is about a squid-girl who comes from the bottom of the sea to conquer the land and punish humanity because human had polluted the sea.
Obviously the conquering doesn't go as she had planned because of various reasons and the story goes on as the usual comedic anime, albeit is a good one according to my opinion.
The anime is aired the same time To Aru Majutsu no Index 2 is aired and there were already lots of talks all over the internet that Ika-chan (the nick name of Ika-Musume as she has no other name) is somehow looks like index, so it was not a big surprise when someone decided to crossover Ika Musume with the opening theme song of To Aru Majutsu no Index 2.
What is more hilarious though, is the fact that there is someone out there who crossover-ed Ika Musume with another internet meme ~ the fall of Hitler ~ . As you can watch in the video above, German was invaded by Ika Musume and losing.
And as always nothing make Hilter happy whatever happened to him. Anyway, you can watch more Hitler Downfall Parodies here.

Moe Character Generator
Tuesday, July 20th 2010
Yesterday, I got an infomation about this Moe Character Generator that can be downloaded for free in KH Mix Website. Having both a great interest in anime and practically no skill at drawing, such kind of software really make me want to try it.
The software is actually relatively easy to use. You only have to know which part of the panel will change which part of the girl design. You can change the hairstyle, face, expression, eyes and cloths worn by the characters. The accessories panel is a bit different, since you are allowed to choose more than one accessory.
The second panel is for changing the color of various part of your character's body. The things which color can be changed are the hair, eyes, clothes and skin. There isn't much option for skin though.
Unfortunately, the software in itself doesn't allow us to either add backgrounds or add more characters into the scene. However by pressing F6 you can generate an image of the character with alpha masking included. This means that we could write a HTML script and run it on either Opera or Firefox and let them render the screen.
Also note that all characters generated by the software are always of the same height and stature. You will need to give them different height and body proportions in the HTML script.

CPS protocol for changing multiple web component using AJAX
Friday, May 21st 2010
Having been using both PHP and JavaScript to build this website, I find it funny that this website actually contain no AJAX at all. You can search all part of Orinetz Network and unless after I make a major makeover to this website in the future, you won't find AJAX technique used in the visible part of Orinetz Network.
Yeah I know it is pathetic, but I barely understand AJAX before I get some project to do in Freelancer.com. In fact, I accepted a medium-sized project to make games using AJAX before I know much about AJAX itself. Of course that means I have to learn AJAX really fast and I am glad I can.
When making something as complex as a game, it is often necessary to change several parts of the web-page using a single HTTPrequest. To do this I had made the following CPSresponder function, which every visitor to this blog are free to use.
function CPSresponder(cps)
{ jomed=true;
cpsa=cps.split(' ');
n_cpsa=cpsa.length;
if(cpsa[0]=='ACCEPT')
{ mc=1;
while (mc+3<=n_cpsa)
{ obj_id=cpsa[mc];
set_type=cpsa[mc+1];
set_val=cpsa[mc+2];
if(obj_id.length>0)
{ comm='document.getElementById(''+obj_id+'').'+set_type+'=''+set_val+'';';
setTimeout(comm,10);
}
mc=mc+3;
}
if (mc<2) jomed=false;
}
else jomed=false;
return jomed;
}
The cps input is where you put the output of your HTTPrequest result, or part of it. The format of the cps is:
ACCEPT {element_id} {element_part} {desired_value}
Try the following script to understand how CPSresponder works.
<html>
<head><title>CPS Trial</title>
<script language="JavaScript">
function CPSresponder(cps)
{ jomed=true;
cpsa=cps.split(' ');
n_cpsa=cpsa.length;
if(cpsa[0]=='ACCEPT')
{ mc=1;
while (mc+3<=n_cpsa)
{ obj_id=cpsa[mc];
set_type=cpsa[mc+1];
set_val=cpsa[mc+2];
if(obj_id.length>0)
{ comm='document.getElementById(''+obj_id+'').'+set_type+'=''+set_val+'';';
setTimeout(comm,10);
}
mc=mc+3;
}
if (mc<2) jomed=false;
}
else jomed=false;
return jomed;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<table cellpadding=10 cellspacing=5 border=1>
<tr><td width=100>Silver</td><td id="silver_td" width=50 align=left> </td></tr>
<tr><td width=100>Gold</td><td id="gold_td" width=50 align=left> </td></tr>
<tr><td width=100>Platina</td><td id="platina_td" width=50 align=left> </td></tr>
</table>
</body>
<script language="JavaScript">
CPS_sample='ACCEPT silver_td innerHTML <b>5000</b> gold_td innerHTML 6000 platina_td innerHTML 2500';
CPSresponder(CPS_sample);
</script>
</html>
The other step you need is connecting this CPSresponder script to an HTTPrequest.respondText which you can learn more in the AJAX tutorial available in w3schools.com. I learn most of what I know about web programming using online materials. In fact I don't know much about PHP and MySQL even after I graduated from university.

PHP script for Seconds Difference between two datetime
Friday, May 21st 2010
Lately I have been busy working on projects I got from Freelancer.com, that I didn't get enough time to post anything in Orinetz at all. I am still busy with the same project at the moment, but I decided to write something here anyway, since I found something interesting today.
To make long story, I am getting some headache today trying to calculate the second difference between two datetime fields in SQL. The function is required as a part of the queue function in a city building game. I have tried various kind of query function, but no success at all with the SQL.
After chilling my head a little bit, I decided that trying to do the same thing using PHP will be wiser than keep finding out how to do it with SQL. The system is a hybrid between PHP and MySQL anyway and the MySQL is obviously not the programming tool. So here's the CalculateSeconds function I write to look for the difference between two stored dates.
function CalculateSeconds($date1,$date2)
{ list($date1_date,$date1_time)=explode(" ",$date1);
list($date2_date,$date2_time)=explode(" ",$date2);
list($date1_y,$date1_m,$date1_d)=explode("-",$date1_date);
list($date2_y,$date2_m,$date2_d)=explode("-",$date2_date);
list($time1_h,$time1_m,$time1_s)=explode(":",$date1_time);
list($time2_h,$time2_m,$time2_s)=explode(":",$date2_time);
$jd_date_1=gregoriantojd($date1_m,$date1_d,$date1_y);
$jd_date_2=gregoriantojd($date2_m,$date2_d,$date2_y);
$date_diff=$jd_date_1-$jd_date_2;
$time_diff=($time1_h-$time2_h)*3600+($time1_m-$time2_m)*60+($time1_s-$time2_s);
return $date_diff*86400+$time_diff;
}
Assuming that $date1,$date2 is written in YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS format, this function should works well. The manual for using gregoriantojd can be found here in php.net and this script was partially inspired by a script in developertutorials.com. Also it is advised that you use 24 hours format for the HH part if you want to include this function in your script.
