Guys, i need a lil help/advise here

nub — Tue, 17 Apr 2007 08:59:45 +0800

So like, i'm trying to get rid of all my DS toys and hopefully get enough for a wii. It's nothing personal, the DS have been great and brought countless smiles to my little siblings and cousins whenever they come over (5 year olds can play multiplayer mariokart quite competitively), and the Lite even managed to find its way into my mom's handbag for a few months (LoL at sudoku).

But heck, i have to say i'm a bit disappointed with the limitations that come with single cart multiplayer, and i just can't bring myself to purchase those "evil" flashcarts. Anyway back to business. Even if i go as low as $250 for the old and $450 for the lite, that's still $700 in total, and let's say an average of $80 per game (damn games go for cheap these days :< ), i should be able to get at least $1500, right?

Will this sell? I mean if i sell them as a set? I'm not keen on selling them individually lest i get stuck with a couple games no one wants and not have a DS to do anything with them.

I haven't started a WTS thread yet, i'm gonna go home and start taking pictures of the stuff some time this weekend.

oversized flash ad

i'm using firefox with the add-on Flashblock installed because i like opening many tabs at once, but don't want all the flash animations to hog down my system resources.

today i noticed that the blocked flash ad on the forums turn out oversized and gets in the way of the website unless i manually right click>remove this flash. this ad is present everywhere, and i'm getting pretty annoyed by it.

here's how it looks like before i remove it; red outline added by me

jap site

from kotaku,

TGS was a bit of a blur, and we unfortunately missed SNK's upcoming ero DS game. Called Doki Doki Majo Saiban, this adventure title has players search for witches hiding on earth. They may look human, but these sorceresses ain't. How do you find out if they are? You touch them. Duh.

engraved dog tags?

i have 8 cats at my house, and i want them to have some sort of ID, in case they go out and get lost(and found). i figured i could get small dog tags to attach on their collars, but don't know where i can order them with engraving and all...

or are there easier ways to ID cats?

how much do you have to pay for kastam and duti import and stuff? or do the stuff usually pass without being checked? i've been thinking of saving some money and importing daigassou band brothers from play-asia.com. is it good, or is liksang better?

if anyone can do this for me better, i'll gladly accept the help too

to re-route connections with one ip address

nub — Fri, 09 Jun 2006 00:30:51 +0800

i know that i can re-direct connections to certain domains to whatever address i like using the etc/hosts file, but how do i redirect out-bound connections with a certain ip address to another ip address of my liking instead? is this possible?

imagine my computer trying to connect to 123.456.1.1, can i somehow tell it to connect to 123.456.1.2 instead whenever it wants to connect to that address?
