狼烟起江山北望
龙起卷马长嘶剑气如霜
心似黄河水茫茫
二十年纵横间谁能相抗
恨欲狂长刀所向
多少手足忠魂埋骨它乡
何惜百死报家国
忍叹惜更无语血泪满眶

马蹄南去人北望
人北望草青黄尘飞扬
我愿守土复开疆
堂堂中国要让四方
来贺

歌曲：精忠报国

PC Security Little News

From :
http://www.safer-networking.org/en/news/2006-05-26.html

Symantec left the anti-spyware business! and other situation updates

*

ymantec

From letters that Symantec employees (Mr. Ingenpass and Mr. Sanchidrian) send to Spybot-S&D customers:

Patrick Kolla is German living in Bochum (Germany). Patrick is well-known in his neighborhood for such scurrilous behavior [becomes immediately extremely abusive, insulting everyone].

These insults, along with quite a few other very personal attacks on Patricks person, have been received by many persons who wrote to Mr. Ingenpass and Mr. Sanchidrian directly. These responds have been sent by a Yahoo email address which did not respond to any queries, which means that this address is either one created by the two Symantec employees, meaning quite heavy personal slander by Symantec itself, or that Symantec passes along customers emails to external private persons, which is a clear privacy violation.

Anyway, in compensation, Symantec at least announced that it seems to want to leave the anti spyware market:

There is no product from the Symantec or Norton line that competes with Spybot.

Sony

The authorities have been in contact with Sony BMG by now, but only received lies in feedback, including that Patrick wouldn't have been even naming the email address in phone talks, and that Sony would of course block addresses where spam would be unwanted. Keeping in mind a dozen other attempts to solve privacy issues with German authorities (Landesdatenschutzbeauftragte), our final result would be that German authorities are quick to send a "please wait, WE will contact YOU again", but have been unable to solve, even unwilling to even do anything after confirming that it was an issue for them, in 9 out of 10 cases so far.

Apple

While Apple fixed the MiniStore bug and iTunes is clean by now, Apple didn't send some promised explanations even after monthly reminders, so our final result based on communications with Apple would be that while iTunes is clean now, the MiniStore thing wasn't really an oversight, but an attempt to see how far Apple can go.

========

Symantec = Norton
Aka Norton SystemWorks , Anti-Virus , Internet Security

Something i've been using for quite a while ...

Thoughts ......

Security and Privacy don't mix well ? Swt

Post 12 : A little something ^_^

2005-12-06T23:03:18Z

Doh , its been so long since i updated my own blog lol
Many events popped up over the past few weeks ..... it even prevented me from updating my beloved d&d game T_T (lol)

Well , since the opportunity presents itself , heres a little something i wanted to post on 1-nov-2005 , around a month ago (Swt)

***

I was reading up a story regarding two females , Yukari-chan (aka Princess of Dimensions) and Yuyuko-chan (aka Princess of life and death)

The story's name is "Clover and Promise" (or something)

I esp love the last scene ... something that Yukari said really gave me a heart-warming feeling ^^

~~~

Yukari: Even if you hadn't ask me, I would have been your friend still...

There are many things that can be mutually understood without words...
However, if someone is brave enough to say it,
it will become something special.

~~~

lol ...... i'm still musing over the fact that i dreamt that Mystica the sparrow youkai was my eldest daughter (swt) and i took her with the rest of my "elven" family to a Pasa-Marang (Bazaar) swt

lol

Till next time
(i hope for a d&d update real soon if time permits)

Post 11 , An interesting conversation

2005-10-13T19:17:06Z

Before parting with Axis by the MRT , we chanced upon an interesting conversation.

I was quoting a nice piece of orient wisdom that i find quite intriguing

***

(Dk Re-mix Version)
Those that praise me when i am correct , are my friends.
Those that criticize me when i am wrong , are my mentors.
Those that flatter me without reason , are my enemies.

***

Axis brought out another point ->
What about those that criticize without correct/reason (?)

Thats quite a little food for thought , what do we think of those that criticize others without form or reason ? lol
I be interested to hear what you think , if you would ^_^

***

(Original Shogun total War Quote)
He who correctly criticises me is my teacher. He who correctly
praises me is my friend. He who flatters me is my enemy.

Post 10 - Anime Review (Kaledio Star)

2005-09-21T19:21:36Z

(Kaledio Star)
Watched Kaledio Star 51 today , finally finished the series , very good series indeed ...

The stage/drama reflects life in essence , with grace trying to raise life beyond mere surival.
Dreams are wings , to take one to the skies.
Dreams like torches of light , are passed from generation to generation.
Impossible dreamers , such as adventurers , pioneers or challengers are often called fools.
Foolish dreams are passed from one fool to another fool , dreamer to dreamer.
A world without conflict , a stage without conflict , be it yet another foolish dream.
The demon brings out the angel within , must demons exsist for angels to shine ?
A moment of magic , that brings out the memories of happiness.
Dreams of one change from time to time . Some dreams change , some never do.
Can freedom rise from the depths of the abyss ?
Sharing a dream together , building a dream together ..... happiness (Sora and her friends)
No longer a dream , but living pride and joy. (Layla and Sora)
At the end of a dream , one feels an pitless emptiness , yet it is the beginning of a new dream.

........
Wow
Along like shows like Junni Kokki , this show sure is amazing in its own way.
Looks like i should try to collect the full series and re-watch it again ^_^

A little d&d open gaming creation - Paladins Smite Evil !!

2005-09-02T10:08:24Z

Hmm at lvl 1 , a paladin gets 3 abilities

(Constant) Aura of good
[A] detect evil
[A] smite evil 1/day

Let us try to customize these abilities a little , by using "IE" as a catalyst to better suit each character's individual style ^^

Using Smite evil as a example for our dependable paladin foot soldier Wez Cross

***

Standard:
Smite Evil (Su): Once per day, a paladin may attempt to smite evil with one normal melee attack. She adds her Charisma bonus (if any) to her attack roll and deals 1 extra point of damage per paladin level

Variant:

~Star Burst Strike~

Required:
Focus (Holy Symbol)
"Paladin template" IE cost: 10

Effect: The empowered weapon strike manifests itself as a mini falling star that explodes upon successful melee impact starburst style upon the intended target , scattering star dust and divine wrath upon evil targets.

(Basic Effects)
As per normal smite evil

(Star Burst Radius)
10 feet radius 5 feet per paladin lvl

(Star Burst Impact)
Upon successful melee hit , bull-rush knock back effect that moves targets out of the burst radius. The Paladin's Strength check is increased by charisma mod Paladin lvl.

(Star Dust)
All targets are affected by daze (will save) flare (fort Save)spell , save at DC 20 charisma mod.

(Booster)- Holy Power

Adds + 1 to hit
Adds additional smite evil damage 1d10

cost: 5 IE (Max = 5 IE per paladin lvl)

***

Alright guys , look through ur class abilities and see if there is any powers/abilities u want to customize to suit your character better ^^

EG. Maybe vani can have a bravestar ver of smite evil ?

I advise to variance abilities outside game-time , helps to give your character a more unique and individual feel ^^

Regards
Your happy Dm yo

Post 9 : What a unrelated but cool dream lol

2005-08-16T10:33:47Z

Have not been dreaming for a while , what a strange dream i have ........

Don't really have much use for this blog apart from communicating with friends and d&d purposes , might as well use this as a werid dream note book , lol.

~~~

It started with this werid viking like settlement , i see a wooden vessel sail into a harbour set in stone , the whole settlement seems to be bulit on stone around 10~15 feet above the sea level. Seems to have some sort of rainbow colored coral like reef to protect the harbour/settlement like a barrier vs weather and storms.

A worn-out looking Father(?) just returned home from the vessel , on the way home , he met his petite but worried looking wife. She was carring their 5~6 year old son.

They give each other a troubled glance , and the father carried (?) both the wife and the child , and started heading the other way.

They were stopped by a old woman wearing a black cowl. She told the father that she heard rumors that his son is "dieased".

The dream ended here ........ werid.

~~~

The second dream took place in a different setting , in some sort of egyptian temple/palace.

A young knight/warrior causes a stir in the temple palace by resucing/picking up/stealing (?) the princess. Imd , the temple came to live , firey lights held by ghostly statues gave illumination to the otherwise darken temple palace.

Guardian knights in bluish "half-plate" (?) wearing eagle-faced helms appeared. They wield large halberd like battle axes made to look like flags in one hand , and silvered long swords in the other.

(Looks to me like scottish/viking/european/gothic (?) weapons hybrid in a egyptian setting (?) )

The movements of the guardian knights are etheral like , almost ghostly without sound , they move in flashes and swoops. The young knight/warrior managed (?) to avoid them and moved out of the temple palace.

Hundreds of warriors in dull-sandy ceremonial armor seems to await. Most of them in a slumber like trance. As soon as the young knight/warrior appeared , all of them just snapped awake , and readied their weapons in union. However , even this legion of warriors did not seem to worry the young/knight warrior.

The "King" happened to be outside inspecting (?) the army. A grand old knight in full ceremonial gold/silver plate mail.

The young knight/warrior knows that he could not win , hence he quickly changed his route of escape. He ran into the guardian knights , and without hesitation , he dispatched a guardian knight in a single swipe of his blade .... while the old king loomed just a few meters behind.

The young knight/warrior seems to be desperate not to be caught up by the old king. He parried with the remaining guardian knights and found his escape route vial a city side gate.

The moment the young knight escaped the city , the gates shut close. (He seems to have friends helping ?)

The city gate was as tall as a mountain cliff (?) , try as the guardian knights , they did not manage to jump past the wall (?) , they jumped a height of around 9 to 10 stories.

At last the mighty old king reached and with a single leap , he overcame the barrier.

The Old king arrived at the desert wastelands outside his city , and saw no trace of life ......

~~~~

Werid dreams ........ ha

Seems to me like the young knight was resucing (?) the princess from a city of undead .....

The old king seems to have the aura like "Black Wind" , i could feel that the young knight knew he was doomed the moment the old king caught up to him.

The princess herself does not really seem alive to me , she sure is very pretty , but in a living (?) doll like fashion .... reminds me of Azalea .... ho ho

Maybe i can use the second dream in my d&d game HAHA

The contient is known as the “Contient of the Lily” which houses the “Inner Kingdoms”

Surrounding the “Contient of the Lily” are smaller Islands & Contients. These smaller lands house many active & forgotten “World Gates” first built by the Old “Dragon Moon Empire”.

These “World Gates” were once used to serve as trade/travel portals to other worlds , now they serve as centre points of new “Outer Kingdoms” or as dangerous ruins.

=====================

“Inner Kingdoms” / “Old Dragon Moon Empire”

~The Imperial Kingdom of Black Lotus~

The imperial kingdom is founded around the Pillar of Heaven , it is said to be the land nearest to heaven itself. The land is extremely fertile and rich in natural resources. It’s natural beauity is un-rivaled. In the past age , where immortals still roams the land , it was called “The Great Immortal Reach”

->5 Sword Mountains (A mountain range that rings around the pillar of Heaven)
Each Main mountain houses a great martial clan

D&D Post 3.1 Experience and Award System (Part 2)

2005-06-20T17:20:27Z

Experience and Award System (Part 2)

=Mini Side Game=

RTS (Role Play Training System)

(Acquire) RTS is generic earned through no-combat suitations when the character puts effort to train up a particular set of skill or do some self-improvement training in general.

 Max Skill RTS Gained = Max Skill rank allowed by Level
 Max Ability Score RTS = Max Character Level

(RTS Decay) RTS bonus can be removed or disabled after a long period of inactive. “Your brain will rot if you don’t use it ^_^”

Example:
The Character is critically injured and needs weeks to recuperate. After his long period of rest , most RTS skills will be disabled and needs to be “re-awaken” through practise

=RTS Types=

Physical RTS (Points to be distrubed among Str / Dex / Con)
EG
Character engages in physcial exercise

Mental RTS (Points to be distrubed among Int/Wis/Cha)
EG
Character engages in intellectual studies and debates

Skill RTS (RTS points for a particular skill)
EG
Character uses the “Alchemy Skill” to test out new formulas

Hero RTS (Special type of RTS acquired through heroic acts)

(Hero Coin)
 Once a player has acquired a Hero Coin , he can attach it to a ability score or skill , next time the score increases , it adds 1 more bonus rank per coin attached to it. (Coins are used up)

->When the Hero Coin is attached , the Skill/Score has a RTS bonus of + 1 Step when ever RTS is applied to it. (Until the score is increases)

Example:
Player attach Coin to Charisma Score. When RTS is complete , character gains 2 Charisma Points instead of 1.

=Leveling up RTS=

When the Character Acquires RTS , he builts up the RTS pool.

Example : Strength Pool = 15% RTS.

When the pool reaches 50% , it is considered in “Breakthrough Status”
The next time he adds RTS to the pool , he can roll for breakthrough.

If Successful , the character gains 1 strength point and the pool is reduced to Zero
If Unsucessful , the character just adds the RTS , and needs to wait for the next breakthrough attempt.

2005-06-02T20:01:16Z

To myself , before i forget :

===========

Sometimes , why must doing the right thing be so painful ?

Why does my heart hurt so ?

Why does my hands tremble ?

Why is there a pain in my arm ?

Why am i feeling happy because i feel sadness ?

Sadness from doing the correct thing ?

Why am i feeling disappointed ?

Am i enjoying this feeling ?

Am i at my limits ?

All i know is , that i must do my best to prevent such from ever happening again ........

The wheel of time turns , history repeats itself .....

Until we correct it.

===========

Why in my mind , i can only see a blue sky , without clouds ?

Why does the words "destruction" and "heaven" surface in my mind from time to time ?

Interesting ....

==========

The battle is lost ....

We fought "harder" , almost insane opponents.

It is not a shame that we lost .....

However , if we fail to learn and improve from our mistakes ...... , we would have truly failed .......

This battle proved , that sometimes , even if we learn our mistakes , it may be too late ......

The battle is lost , yes
but we will not lose the war ^^

==========

Dunno why , feel like writing these .... lol

Maybe its under the effect of
Fuyuu Yume, Mizu no Madoromi ~ Origa
these two songs .....

lol

==========

~ Innocence ~
"
When you do not possess innocence , where will you go ? Can you do anything without protecting the force of the will of heaven?
"

To myself ^^
Lets try to improve okie ? ^^

You Are The Apt Mind
"I know that. And that. And yes, that too."
You have brains, and you are not afraid to show it. Your intellect and intelligence may have others constantly asking for your help with things that take a lot of thought or are difficult puzzles. Academic values are held highest in your opinion, and you may also have a bleak view of humanity. You may find trouble dealing with emotional issues, however - as they are illogical and inunderstandable. Your friends consist of intelligent and intellectual people to challange you and continue your mental growth. Even in the easiest of times, you are not afraid to show anyone just how much you know.

Lost Chronicles of Time 25-05-2005

New Hp System

 HP System
Divide your Class HP per level into HP & VIT & IE (Starting , Min 1 point each)

Example: Fighter has 1d10 (10) Hp per level.
Sample
HP 4
VIT 4
IE 2

-> Damage Received by players are normally first taken from the Vit Pool , then to the HP pool

HP = Hit Points / Mortal Wounds Tolerance(Red Hp Zone)

Vit = Vitality / Light Wounds Tolerance (Green / Yellow Hp Zone)

IE = Internal Energy (Tech Checks and Special Actions)

-> Hp Bonus By Con is no longer vaild , instead refer to the table below.

Hp Bonus = + Fitness Mod Per level
Vitality Bonus = + Stamina Mod Per Level
Energy Bonus = + Health Mod Per level

Notes regarding HP and Vitality

 Vitality damage (Minor injuries) can be recovered after normal rest.

 HP damage (Major wounds) need magical aids or intensive medical care to treat.

 Critical Hits & some special attacks ignore Vitality and damages HP pool directly. Should the HP be reduced to Zero , the character dies.

Internal Energy defualt Use:

Advantage => Tech Check System is used to enable tactical placement of skill use and to avoid fumbling a important action.

IE Cost Steps:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8+
1d4 1d6 1d8 1d10 1d12 1d20 1d100 +1d100

=Non-Combat Situation=
[A] Tech Check 10
Take 10 on Skill Check (1 Step IE Cost)Normal Effort

[A] Tech Check 15
Take 15 on Skill Check (2 Step IE Cost)Good Effort

[A] Tech Check 20
Take 20 on Skill Check (3 Step IE Cost)Best Effort

=Combat Situation=
[A] Tech Check 10
Take 10 on Skill Check (4 Step IE Cost)Normal Effort

[A] Tech Check 15
Take 15 on Skill Check (5 Step IE Cost)Good Effort

[A] Tech Check 20
Take 20 on Skill Check (6 Step IE Cost)Best Effort

=Others=
[I} Action Cancel (10 IE)
[A] Initiative Tech Check (+1 Step Cost)
[A] Saving Throw Tech Check (+2 Step Cost)

Tech Check Use:

 Tech Checks must be declared before the action is made

 To force a Tech check Result after the dice is rolled , one must apply the “Action Cancel” move

 The Cost for the check is first deducted , then the action takes place. Should one have not enough IE to pay the cost , the IE pool is reduced to Zero , and the tech action fails.

Note to players:

Please leave a tag behind so that i know that you have read through this document.

Post 5 ............... What do we unlock in others ? lol

2005-05-21T06:05:54Z

You are a stone key, and you unlock old and magical
secrets. What you have to offer is powerful and
difficult for many to understand, but
invaluable to the few who can truly grasp it.
Give the things you have carefully and
wisely, because not everyone will use them for
good.

What sort of key are you and what do you unlock?
brought to you by Quizilla

Hmmm..
Axis's insights and perception ability is as amazing as ever ........ What i unlock in others maybe be too dangerous , and the knowledge may be used for semi-wicked stuff ........

Oh dear , i guess that will be considered my fault if i let out information to people with questionable morals .... (swt)

Sigh , guess i should zip my lips from now on .......

Silence is Golden !!! YAY !!!!

It's easier that way ? lol
