Other productive stuff included finishing off the karaoke for Candy Boy; installing WordPress 2.8 beta on the test-copy of this site (the changes I’ve seen so far are pretty cool); and finally finished setting up cron jobs for frostii.com web site.  The cron jobs are grabbing the XDCC bots’ pack lists.  Now that the crons are properly set up, I’ll be releasing the new version of the bot listing soon.  I’ll write more about it when I finish releasing it.

But the project I was assigned to yesterday at work is not allowing me to take that trip. I stayed at work until it got outside, not from the nightfall, but from thunder storm. That’s always fun. No tornado again this time.

The rest of the evening was spent doing fansub stuff: answered translation questions for K-On and Candy Boy; applied styles to Candy Boy script, worked on karaoke for Candy Boy; and released Eden of the East.

It looks like Lupin vs Conan is pretty close to being ready for release.  I’ve been informed that the first release candidate will be ready tomorrow.  That’s a good news.  I’ve also been informed that the current translator for Sengoku Basara, ariato, is going to step down from that position.  That’s a bad news.  I hope we’ll find someone else soon, and not to drop the project.  I’m really not fond of dropping projects.  I can only hope…
