Create.swf – Eirin (Revised)


Added a revised version of Eirin to create.swf. Also added a virtual reality helm (the one from the 8th scene of the documentary) as a hat, and two daytime versions of the backgrounds added last week (though they’re not very good). And I think that’s it.

4 Out of 5 Dentists…

They might as well say 80%, but that doesn’t seem as great as 4 out of 5, because otherwise it wouldn’t be like “wow, only one person disliked the product!” This statistic is fairly common in commercials and I’m wondering how much of it is actually true (or if they actually interviewed only 5 people). And then we don’t get to hear why the 5th person thinks that way, but I guess that makes sense since it might persuade people not to buy it. And… and yeah, I guess that’s all.

Waiting for Elevators

I don’t really know why Unnamed Character and Long-haired Character need to go to the sixth floor of whatever building that is, but it was just an excuse to have them attempt to use the elevator. And that brings me to the main topic: when you wait for something (such as waiting for an elevator to arrive) for a seemingly long time and think “I shouldn’t bother waiting anymore” and do something else (such as going up the stairs), but then you find out that the thing you were waiting for just happened. Yes, that’s pretty much an explanation of the entire daily flash. That sort of stuff happens more often than it should, which is annoying. And yes, I sorta ran out of ideas.

Consecutive Numbers

Well I guess it’s actually more about having times/dates that have an interesting combination of numbers. Though most of the time I just notice when it’s consecutive, like 12:34, or when they’re all the same, like 11:11 or the upcoming 9/9/09 (Or to make it look nicer, 09/09/09). That also reminds me that date structures (or whatever they’re called) can get confusing sometimes, especially online, because it’s not always MM/DD/YY, which is what I’m used to. More confusing if the day and month (and also the year, if it’s two digits) are both below 12, and I don’t know which one is the month and which is the day. And yeah.

Buying Used Stuff

I don’t really buy used stuff that often, and my reasoning is similar to Headphones Character’s. The only times I can remember buying something used would be for books that aren’t available at libraries (such as textbooks).

Though recently I bought a used textbook online and it had the name of a library imprinted on the pages and some numbered labels on the spine, with some poorly-ripped labels on the back, leading me to believe it was stolen from a library. But the library is all the way in another state, and I don’t feel like doing anything about it, especially since I (well, actually my parents) already paid for it and it’s from so far away. So yeah, be cautious when buying used stuff.
