New computer

I got my new computer yesterday with Win XP. When prompted to name my computer, I naturally named it Elise. What a dork, eh?

I’m probably gonna get a KVM switch today so I can keep using my old Win 98 computer as well so I can continue playing the old Himeya and Jast games.

Why? I mean, as I wrote once, sometimes my users complains that Belldandy (file server) is acting oddly, and Sakura (mail server) isn't as sweet as she used to be (receiving too much spam). Hmmmmm... Now that I mention it, time to update /var/qmail/control/badmailfrom again...

It's probably because Urd (System Maintenance) has shut down yggdrasil again.

Huh? Isn't Skuld the one who is the System Maintenance???

Not a scary as being named Dave and calling your computer HAL.

Really, though... Elise? Umm... that could get a bit scary, if you think about it just a moment... [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/biggrin.gif[/img]

I thought Urd was System Maintenance, since she was the one who shut Down yggdrasil in OVA Episode 2. (Which caused the system crash, which got her exiled to earth).

According to the Kodansha bilingual manga:

Belldandy: "What's happening with the Yggdrasil System? That's your responsability, isn't it?"

Urd: "That'll be alright. I left Skuld to debug the system."


According to Studio Proteus translation:

Belldandy: "What about the Yggdrasil System? You're supposed to be the sysop, aren't you?"

Urd: "Don't worry, it's in good hands. I left Skuld to take care of the system analysis and debugging."


Urd didn't shut down Yggdrasil itself, rather she "stopped" certain "services" to work, hence, Sayoko could get near K1. Now, remember, Urd is not the only one in charged, there are others working with Yggdrasil, too (otherwise, how could Kami-sama could afford sending her down to Earth? ^_^).

That's most likely correct. In OMG - the movie, we see many goddesses working on the Yggdrasil system, with Peorth as the one in charge, which probably means that Urd and Skuld may be part of the staff in charge of the Yggdrasil System, but they're not the only ones.

Gee, I finally understand what the heck you guys were refering to. Sorry, but I havn’t gotten into OMG yet so I wasn’t exactly sure what you were talking about. Hmm, there’s a bilingual Kodansha version? I should pick those up, I liked what they did with the Love Hina ones they did. Then again, it may have to wait, I’m currently working my way though Magic Knight Rayearth…

I never did name any of my computers, and most of what I do call them cannot be printed here! But it could be worst, my old workplace named a bunch of servers after various Godzilla opponents. It wasn’t till I got there that I pointed out that they misspelled several of them and were mispronouncing almost all of them.

Since I put together all the computer used in my family’s home, I named them all. After some thought, I decided to name them after places in Nordic mythology.

My personal computer is named Valhalla.
My father’s system is Asgard.
My two brothers’ systems are Helheim and Midgard.
The file server is Nifelheim.
All connected to the Yggdrasil workgroup.

Oh yeah… My PDA is Valkyrie since it docks with Valhalla.

That's too bad. A!MG! is one of those series that everybody should watch even once. Not even in the manga there is a real "bad guy/gal" per se!

As for the quality, I can't compare them to LH, as I haven't read those, but, compared to Dark Horse/Studio Proteus, I shall say the stand up quite nicely. IIRC, Peter at J-list used to/still have them.

As for the manga, IMO, you should stop at vol. #10 or so... Fujishima-san is out of ideas for long and should decide to start another story... For instance, a manga of ST? ^_^ (of course, he would then work under the "rule" of Oogi-san, but... IMHO, he's not good with long plot/stories anyway...)

Yup, J-List was the first place I ended up looking since that’s where I picked up the LH volumes I couldn’t find locally. (Also see a Cardcapture Sakura bilingual as well…) I’ll probably pick them up in the next month or two. I’d like the dual language format in general and I’ve heard people complain about the Dark Horse version of the stories.

Not really sure why I never picked it up, just one of the things I never got into but heard a lot about. Guess I’ll just have to catch up!
