4PAK is DEAD: September 2009

Under Renovation

Wednesday, September 30, 2009 KOALA 2 comments

Well, as most of you have noticed, the 4PAK blog has been given another facelift.
Because our blog is rather democratic, instead of the white background which i wanted to use, we’re now carrying out Operation Pink Rain...hence we’re stuck with pink.
These were the images which i had in mind, but i guess my opinion has been overruled with 35+ votes voting for pink...

From Site

After reviewing some of our blog’s statistics, i noticed that around 42% of our followers are viewing our blog at small resolutions, probably because they’re using a notebook. So after fiddling with the layout, i’ve tried my best to make it view friendly for people who have a resolution of 1280 or less. For the rest of you, well, you guys can enjoy viewing the pink background on the right hand side.
I’ve temporarily removed the banner, and will begin working on a new one soon.
Your opinions are always welcomed!

In response to ToFu’s post about his new Filco, i decided to throw up a few of my Dinovo Edge photos up here aswell XD
Personally, I think that the Dinovo Edge is one of the best keyboards out there in terms of looks, feel and features. Even Sum fell in love with it at first sight.
But for some reason ToFu absolutely hates it, even though he secretly owns a dinovo mini....

Oh wells, Im gonna be sacrificing my Zaku White Ogre for some decal experimenting. Hopefully it would still look good. Might put some photos up of that when im done.

Feeling the Filco

Tuesday, September 29, 2009 T0fu 5 comments

Part of blogging is living on the internet and part of living on the internet is living with your computer.

This strange set of interactions between a person and the internet, a seemingly inanimate space of porn and banter, leads to some odd behaviours. It is therefore not unusual to find a patterned and almost ritualistic procedure with how people interact with computers. Even simply starting up a computer can feel eerily familiar; let alone executing a predetermined sequence of operations of applications that have become irreplaceable to your life.

Irreplaceable.

Attached, have you become, to this strange interface, partnership, pact. . . . - fetish - . It is personal, responsive and it interacts with you.

The display becomes an outline of a face, a window, he looks back at you.

enter;

It is inviting to you, into this environment, habitat, the dwellings of a netizen. Your surrounds are delightfully blemished, markings of a biotic life. A cup lines the edge of a table, a pen furnishes a garden of paper and a can lies outside of peripheral vision. Shadows etch from the monitor, faintly tracing these markings, worn features, misplaced items, stickit notes with to-do's, These features are marked.

They are yours.

A horizon of blue, you are embraced by a breeze of colors and a not forgotten sound.

The desktop.

It is familiar, from the placement of windows, docks, bubbles, widgets and stupid fucking irrelevant uac notices all become as intimate, mechanical and intuitive as a keystroke. They leave treads, the keys, with each depression and bounce they float, no. They fly, as though they travel these pages and words with me. . Filco ~

Tonkotsu - If it aint been cooked for 7 days, its not worth eatn

Friday, September 25, 2009 KOALA 8 comments

Well well, operation "pink" in progress. I can't believe that 20 people actually voted for pink. Hey, dont look at me, i voted for white.
Shiro ZAKU FTW!!!!

Well, onto the main focus of todays post.
Godly tonkotsu.
For those who dont know what tonkotsu is, basically, its a pork bone broth that has to be cooked for a LONG LONG time. High in fats and collagen, it isnt exactly the most healthiest of foods out there..but hey, who really cares. Aslong as its tasty right??
So what makes the tonkotsu at Gumshara so good that we call it "Godly"? Well, it really is hard to explain, but to give you guys a general idea, if you were willing to go and eat a bowl of $10+ ramen with a food power level of 9000+ (a large big mac meal is just 2000) three times within the same week, then its pretty safe to say that that food is either Godly, or just plain addictive.
In the case of the food from Gumshara, it would be probably be a mixture of both.
So that day, we set our alarms to go off at 8:30am, just so that we would not be late for our meal.
Arriving at 10:30, we were quite shocked when they told us that they would not be open until 11:30 (yes it takes them over an hour to prepare the stuff. slicing meat, eggs, etc)
So with an hour to burn, we decided to bum around and came across a coffee shop, which appeared to be the illegitimate love child of Starbucks, and Gloria Jeans.

Its name was Tom n Toms
