Finally finished Valkyria Chronicles last Saturday, clocking in at around 25 hours. Quick Review:

I actually had some trouble using django-pingback on my custom blog engine; the django-pingback documentation is mostly fine, but there were some caveats that I had to discover myself through a bit of debugging:

For the past few months, I've been encountering the COM Surrogate Has Stopped Working Error in Windows Vista, as described here. Unfortunately, most of the recommended fixes on this page didn't work for me. (I had neither DivX nor Nero installed, etc.) Eventually, I had to download InstalledCodec and use trial and error disabling of all the codecs in my system to trace the problem. I narrowed it down to the Xvid Codec and ended up having to disable it.

I wanted to make a calendar of game release dates in 2009 (so I won't forget), but apparently details are sparse. The only games that I'm remotely interested in that already have release dates are:

I came across a website that provided an online Speed Reading Test. Most people I know generally know me to be a fast reader so I decided to take the test. My results: 472 words per minute screen reading, at 82% comprehension, which the website says classifies me as a "good reader". Apparently the best readers can read at 700wpm at 85% comprehension, sounds tough =/ Try the quiz and post your results here.Blogged with the Flock Browser

Frontend: All page templates are valid (X)HTML. However, I choose not to claim valid XHTML (and no doc type declaration) since I can't guarantee that blog posts I write are compliant! The site uses standard CSS and uses the Blueprint CSS Framework for the grid layout of the page. The site design is entirely original (if not simple and bland - I'm not very good with website design yet!). The site has minor usage of JQuery Javascript library in some parts.

Previously I hosted two separate Wordpress blogs on roytang.net, the old one I've had since forever, and a separate one that discussed only magic related articles. It was a bit bothersome to have two Wordpress installs though. Now that I've migrated to a Django backend, I decided to merge the blogs back into one. The blog now has the following sections/categories:
- Magic the Gathering - for posts related to MTG
- Software Development - for posts related to Software Development (hopefully I can write more about this topic)
- Gaming - originally I didn't have this category, but looking at previous contents of the blog and my delicious links, this is one of the things I write about the most, so I made it a separate category
- Weblog - everything else I can think of
