			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>People should have noticed a certain lack of update since February. Well it&#8217;s a strange one.I had a peak of activity around the end of last year, and in January; did I have free time? Not at all. It was the end of the semester and I was really busy finishing projects. Now in February, it&#8217;s simple, it was a very lazy month. So what happened?</p>
<p><span id="more-841"></span></p>
<p>I took a break from my moderating job, as it can get tiresome after one year and half without a break.  There are still a few things I think will need to be done on E-shuushuu, but I don&#8217;t know if I will have the motivation.</p>
<p>In fact, I have been quite enjoying these last 2 months. Never have I procrastinated so much. I just finished in 2 days a project which was supposed to be done in 2 months. Also I have been playing an MMORPG&#8230; Maybe more details on it in another article. Since WoW, I didn&#8217;t touch one for 3 years. I spent quite a lot of free time playing meaning you didn&#8217;t see much tweet nor activity around the Web.</p>
<p>Now how is this blog going to continue? First of all, if you did keep up with my tweets, you know that my fellow Macbook Pro&#8217;s screen has a dead back lighting. The problem started 6 months ago, when the screen connector started to get worn out. I tried to fix it with&#8230; pieces of paper. Yes, it did work, and when I got problems, I just needed to twist the screen. But I had to dismantle it several time to get things right, and I put quite a lot of stress on the bezel which got cracks. It&#8217;s not a problem because there is the case which still support the weight of the screen. The problem is that the case needs first to be fixed with screws which go lost. I once had a dead graphic card, and I think those who repaired it messed with my screws.<br />
So with the weight started to stress the LCD screen itself, and I think that this stress generated a shortcut in the back light circuitry. In short, it&#8217;s unusable, unless I put my desk lamp behind it to replace the back light ( no joke ). So for now, I&#8217;m using an old laptop, slightly less powerful than my Macbook Pro and with a clear lack of matte display and multitouch trackpad. I&#8217;m in the market for a new one!</p>
<p>This also mean that my main machine for scan is well, dead. Right now, scanning on this one is a pain since I need to adapt my workflow. I have a huge stack of C77 stuff waiting to get reviewed. The problem is that now, I really lack time, and next week, I will be in Canada for internship. So, I won&#8217;t be able to provide any update for the C77 loot, or maybe I will take a round of photos before leaving, but scanning is time consuming. Count one afternoon for a thin doujinshi.</p>
<p>The question is what I will do during the 3 months in Canada for this blog. My main focus is out of range. Well I guess I will need to go back to one thing I like; technology. I had in mind to dedicate some articles to technology when I first started this blog. On my Mac, there is already the draft for one article for HTML5/Flash and one about the interface paradigm on tablet. Now I don&#8217;t know if people are interested in those, since it&#8217;s a deviation of the line I had set up for this blog a few months ago, but it seems like I won&#8217;t have any visual goodies for the next 3 months. I guess I can also finally use my manga category, I have some manga I always wanted to review. I guess we will how it will shape.</p>

<p>First, last month my graphic card got fried hence why there wasn&#8217;t any update. I had a eeePC meanwhile but it has a very bad keyboard so I would rather not type any long paragraph.</p>
<p>Soon I should be able to post new content, especially since I have a few draft ^^. As for my college blog, it&#8217;s already taken care on a sub-domain, considering the NSFW content of this domain.</p>
