Where did the "B-Device" go?

":O A second floppy drive! Gotta get me one of those!

Still though, why can't I name any of my disks B and then when I can afford a new floppy, name that G? Because what would happen if you installed 3 floppy drives?

I'm glad I got an answer, but it still doesn't make 100% sense...

I want a B drive!

Hm... is it because of pure BIOS boot order (starting at A and moving down)? Though, the boot order is of course changeable... "

Where did the "B-Device" go?

2 years 3 months ago

"Ok, I have been playing around with computers for more than 13 years and I never once thought if this before:

Why is there no device with the entity description "B"?

I don't really know the correct term for this but let me explain. The Floppy disk has always been assigned "A", your first drive and the drive you usually install Windows on is the "C" drive, right? And then you move along that path, continuing with D, E, F, G... and so on as you add more devices.
Do you see my point?

Where did the B device go!?

I reckon there is a very simple answer to this question, like, it's the hidden cache or the RAM. Since you can't actually name any of your devices B, I guess the spot is already taken...

It's a rather silly topic and it can be answered by one genius computer freak, rendering further discussion rather pointless, but I just though I wanted to share this knowledge or "inknowledge" with the rest of the world (at AP).

Do you know over knee-socks?

"Haha, love the topic, man. I don't really know where this discussion is going though. But yeah, I have to agree, the black over-knee stockings/socks are amazing all over Japan! It's THE best girl clothes fashion in the whole world!
It was pretty ok in Akihabara, but I think Shibuya and Shinjuku are better for "awesome leg spotting". Or go out to some clubs and start drooling. "

I'm going to Japan!

"Thanks a lot to everyone who's posted so far! I've now sent a booking request to Nagai Youth Hostel in Osaka, one that one of my friends have stayed at. It's just a request though, so I'll have to wait and see if it gets confirmed. So please continue discussing this topic, maybe tell me if you've been to either Osaka or Tokyo you can tell me about thing's I have to do and see.

Thanks again"

I'm going to Japan!

2 years 9 months ago

"So, I'm finally going! After 3 years of thinking about this trip, I have finally booked the flight.

It was first meant to be a trip with some of my friends, however, due to certain circumstances (will-power and money being main reasons) non of them could actually come when it came down to it. But being as hooked on Japan as I am, I decided to simply go alone!

And that's where I am right now. Today (actually yesterday since it's quite late XD) I finally clicked that dreaded "Book Flight"-button to Tokyo, immediately thereafter I felt a great relief and not long after that, I booked a bed in an 8 Bed Mixed Dorm, Sakura Hostel Asakusa in Tokyo! I'll be staying there for 14 days and after that, I'll be on my way to Osaka, where I'll stay for about 1 month. I haven't decided where in Osaka to live yet, and that is kinda where you guys come in. Do you have any tips about where to stay in Osaka? I have a few ideas (some different Youth Hostels), but I thought I'd check in with you guys first.

And please feel free to share your thoughts, opinions, ideas, recommendations and everything that I might want to hear! It'd be really awesome!

A Black/Red Wallpaper

"Hm, maybe you should try and think of the perspective a bit more? the texture on the floor is just plain flat and dosen't follow the view. Same goes for the walls and the text on the wall, it kinda makes it look like there isn't a wall and hallway at all. Also, try and add some detail like ledges and maybe fill it in with some shadow and cracks and stuff. GL"

"I'll have you take a look at this before I scrap this idea and move on ^^

What I mean is that I don't know about this type och bamboo. Do you think this looks good? I kinda think it's just a shitload of bamboo XD I tried to add more depth but I don't know... all I think I accomplished was getting more bamboo in there ^^ So maybe I should try a different approach? Like more thick trees fading out in the distance kinda like that picture you showed Furikuu. Or just remove the dense thicket and go for a plain before the mountains to add some detail to it. Comments?

Wah-wah-wii-wah

EDIT: I tried something different. Here it is! Comments?"

I changed the mountains, not the sky though, this looks good on my PC XD.

I also added a lot of bamboo. Too much? Too little? I don't feel there is enough depth in it but I don't know how to make it better...? And please tell me if you think the bamboo looks cheapish or anything, I want this wall to look GOOD, not just "acceptable".

Update X

And thanks again!"

"Ok, mountains implemented ^^

I also added an other bamboo tree but I'm very skeptic about it, what do you guys say about it? I'm trying elfe, but I'm having problems adding more trees since realistically speaking, she should either be on the very edge of the bamboo forrest, or in the middle of it, quite far down towards the ground. And in that case there should be a whole bamboo forrest behind her and I don't want that.

Here it is!

And I'd like to give a special thanks to elfe-noire for giving me frequent tips and ideas, thank you!"

"Ok, an oher update.

I went for a "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon" style and hand-drew this bent bamboo here. Maybe it looks strange, it probably does, I've never even seen real bamboo XD.

What I'm wondering about are the clouds... I believe a lot of people like this realish clouds (looking at the flashy 150+FAV-walls) I've never been a fan of it so I have to hear with you guys if this looks OK or not.

What I'd like would be some more anime-stylish clouds but I have no idea on how to make those. If anyone have a good tutorial on some webpage or in their head, please share your magic!

And btw, thanks a lot boys and girls for helpingme out with this!

EDIT: A few hours has gone by and no replies *cries* so I tried something different. This time the clouds kinda fit into the styly of the vector and it still looks nice and clean. Comments?

Could this be the final version? OMG"

In the shadows of her clothes... there is some white outlines in some areas ...
Some of them are circled below

Yeah, I see your point, but it's most likely just when i saved it in lower res or something. They all overlap so there can't be any space between anything. thanks for pointing it out on this version though.

EDIT: Oh, found the culprit... it was from adding noise. I'll fix that before making a wall out of it.

Now, anything else? How about the eyes?"

Saya naked in the shower!

"Last few days of good warm summer heat and I decide to stay inside the whole day and make a wall. Yum!

Anyway, I saw this scene in some episode of Blood+ and thought it looked good enough to make a wall out of it. I kinda like it, but I'd like you to have a final word in an attempt to make it even better!

I was thinking of maybe adding some "scratchish" text on the wall to the right, comments?

Neon Genesis Wall with Rei

"Thanks for the comments!

I'll look over the grainyness (even though I like it like that), it does kinda look like it's only rei that's got grain and not the rest of the wall (but it should be there).

The blood on her is actually a texture with some layer options applied but I see what you mean, I'll look into it.

The clouds I don't think there is anything wrong with since it does go with the rest of the vectorness (unless I change the entire bg)

Finally, I remembered something like Seifer posted from the last eps but I didn't have my NGE DvDs with me, so I couldn't take a screenshot. So thank you Seifer for the screen, I might actually use that!"

Neon Genesis Wall with Rei

"I saw the scan a few days ago and though it would make an easy yet good wall. After spending an entire evening I came to this.

I actually took this wall one step further in symbolizm. Almost everything in the wall has a meaning, which I think is quite important these days since most don't think about that and just "make it look good".

I won't expain all the symbols in it here but I will in the comments when I upload it. But just look at it and think about everything in it and how it might relate to Rei or NGE overall.

But that isn't really why I am posting it here, I'm posting it here because I want your feedback on it before I submit it. I for starters don't know about the wings, they might be a little "off" and not fitting with the rest of the vector look. But it might work? And I need them to be there because of the symbolizm.

"I don't mind the blood being there, it kinda looks like "I killed the girl and/or boy in the picture". Maybe a little less blood though?

But what I don't really get is what the thing in the bg is. Is it some sort of cork board? It's very hard to tape on those btw :D and the star kinda indicates that it's sand on a beach, and shit it's hard to tape on sand XD! It look pretty good but it doesn't really make a 100% sence.

But it's a good looking wall still!

Good job!"
