Mid-Week Miscellany

* Bought a copy of Stephen Coonts' Fortunes of War. It's a decade old, where in this alternate universe the United States, Japan and Russia are thrown into war over Siberia, yet it's also a coincidence that the game Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 -- with the same combatants -- is out now.

* Changing the frequency channel the Linksys WRT54G WiFi router is using turned out to be helpful to get a clear connection, because Channel 6 (the default frequency) is crowded. Now I'm looking for the proper yet economical range expander/access point device to extend the router's effectiveness.

* I made up my mind. If I need a proper anime fix, TV5 will supply that (and as a network seeking niche markets, they already proven it -- they said they rather be on the #3). The other two big networks -- so hopeless -- are too busy beating up each other for the number 1 and 2 spots, making people dumb, and whatever anime (or cartoons) they have, they just turn it into filler.

* Sankaku shows a Idolmaster vs. Marimite Mashup (main article is clean but NSFW material left and right). xD
