Naruto 98 Bittorrent

August 26th, 2004 · No Comments

Naruto is up to episode 98, fansubbed and released a day after it aired in Japan. I’ve read the manga and know where it’s going and it is still good to watch.
It can get annoying as Naruto’s Chakra/power level alters in to the situation in hand so every encounter becomes a struggle, like DragonBall Z, [...]

Wireless

August 25th, 2004 · 1 Comment

Casa JD has gone wireless. There was much rejoicing.
By me anyway. This is great as I can wander about with the PowerBook and not sit tied to my old Thompson ADSL modem.
