Nifty Anime, tropical storms, etc...

So the Busch Gardens trip was postponed a week due to a potentially incoming tropical storm. Major suckage; I was really looking forward to it! Of course, a shut-down park due to storms is no fun at all either! A whole other week to wait... Arrgh. In any case, hopefully I'll get some time in at VSW this weekend, if the weather holds up.

I discovered an old anime called "Daishizen no Majyuu Bagi", or "Bagi, the Monster of Mighty Nature". A reasonably high quality fan-sub of it can be downloaded via BitTorrent here. It's an interesting story about a guy's friendship with a genetically engineered cat/human hybrid. It was made in 1984, and thus has that "old style" anime look, but is still a very enjoyable story.

Been working on mail servers, file servers, and more at work. We have recently purchased three SATA-based Dell Poweredge 1800 servers, each with 1.25TB of useable disk space, for various projects. It's amazing when you realize how much space 1.25TB really is; 1,250GB or 1.2 *MILLION* megabytes. Remember when the biggest hard drives were 10MB and cost as much as a new car? Yeow!

Our new tape system is also finally ordered and I'll be setting that up sometime in the next few weeks. Definitely looking forward to supercharging our backup system...

This post was made...

This post was made from "Xcursions" at Busch Gardens. Heh. I didn't want to log in and make a real post because who knows how many keyloggers may be running on here.

On another note, the non https:// version of my site was blocked as "adult/mature" content. Funny, I didn't know I had any pr0n on my site.

Heee...

Coincedence?

Actually, I think it is mentioned somewhere in he dialogue that Bagi was actually a human/mountain lion (cougar) hybrid.

Yup...

Yep, Bagi was indeed a human/cougar hybrid. Or as they called it in the movie, an "American lion".

However, she didn't seem to have any cougar characteristics, like for instance the dark fur on the sides of the muzzle, cougar coloring (they are not pink) or anything else that made her even remind me of a cougar, so I'm not sure why they didn't just say "human/cat hybrid".

Maybe something was screwed up in the translation? Either that or the animators never bothered to look at a cougar before designing the character. }:)
