“Deary me, miss shrine maiden. Could you perhaps tell me where I am?”

“What is this atrocious ball of darkness adressing me?”

Reimu pulled out a fist full out talismans and hastily threw them at the black orb.

“I plead forgiveness for my rude behavior miss shrine maiden. I wish not to fight you.”

Reimu frowned and covered her mouth with a napkin.

“I say, your kind can not be allowed to pass in my way. Be gone you filthy monster.”

A sharp scream echoed from the ball of darkness at it exploded in a bloody mist.

Reimu brushed some dust off her clothes.

“Good heavens, I hope there shalt not be more wasting of my precious time.”

She then set off towards a certain frozen lake where the red mist seemed thicker.

Hay there people.

I wanted to ask if there is anyone out here that knows how to properly backup a wordpress install so that I can upgrade/reinstall it to the latest version without losing all posts?

Help would be greatly appreciated!

Yeah. So, the title might be a bit confusing.

Thing is, I haven’t really been into the whole Minecraft thing until recently.

I had only heard about it and seen a few screenshots until about 3 days ago when I watched some videos
of a Minecraft Let’s Play, and I thought: “Hey.. That looks pretty fun after all!”

Long story short, I bought Minecraft about 3 days ago. And it has been consuming my life.

I never realised that this is pretty much one of the games I’ve always been dreaming about.
It lets me create and discover my very own huge world complete with monsters and building anything I want.

Let me just start by saying, I hate you Notch. I really do. But don’t take this wrong.
I only say it because damn, I love your game too much. It’s no wonder how it sold over 1 million copies.

One of the only things that’s really annoying me though is that the daytime is so ridiculously short.
And since I’ve turned down the brightness on my 40″ tv I use as a monitor now, I can’t see shit during night.
(I’ve basically turned down the brightness to not hurt my eyes/head since it’s right in front of my head)

Being a music composer as I am too, I’ve also become very interested in those music blocks in Minecraft.
Seeing how people have managed to make songs with them, I have a very high interest in creating Touhou songs
using the music blocks.

I tried out running the server software a bit while running craploads of applications on my computer too, but I think
that my settings are wrong somewhere since the cpu spikes to 100% and the computer gets really hot.

Therefore I started thinking what server hosting solutions there were. And I found a place offering server hosting
pretty cheap. The lowest setting was for a 512mb ram server with support for 1-6 people for 15$ a month.
Sounds pretty ok I think. Especially if I can have a server running 24/7 for that price.

And that way I could work on the music block song building a lot easier.

Problem however is that the first time I even saw redstone was like yesterday, so I have no clue how to work it
properly yet.

I’d also have to find/generate a completely flat map surface (delicious flat cake world) to be able to focus properly
on the song building and not having to work hours on digging out a proper placement site for blocks.

I’m pretty sure it’d be very easy to create other songs as soon as I’ve made one song actually functional.
Mainly since that’d be a matter of rearranging blocks and just changing block notes. So the initial build is
definitely the hardest.

Also it depends on how advanced the song should be, if it should incorporate a bunch of different instruments
and multiple pitches running at the same time. It’s going to take lots of work and planning. lol

Anyone here who’s had any experience with music block building?

So yeah. It’s been about an eternity since I last posted anything on here at all.
I can’t really say I haven’t had ANY time though, but I actually have been extremely busy lately.

I was working in some places and I pretty much overworked myself completely and it was killing me.

There are quite some news since last time I guess. Now let’s see, where do we start?

Well for one thing, I got myself an electrical piano now so that is something I really like.
Even though I really should practice playing it more.

I also invested my saved money in a new tv (about time..) and an Xbox 360 Slim.
So now I have a complete set of the “new” consoles.
All those fanboy fights out there are very silly though.
I wish people would just stop bitching about which is the “best” console and just enjoy it instead.

Even if the console makers are rivals it is such a waste of time to flame about crap like that.

Oh and if anyone happened to drop by here and not know about it, I’ve been making a lot of new music too.
I also got around to actually do a mass upload of things on Youtube so you can find it on my channel right here:
saiyoucho – Moonsoul/Project ⑨

I really should get around to remaking this site too. It’s been way too long without any updates.
But even though I might know a lot about a crapload of computer stuff, I’m still not good at webdesign sadly enough.
I guess I could hire someone to make a design for me, but then we’re at this usual problem again that everything costs money.

Let’s see, what do we have more?

Oh yeah, I’ve also been making preparations for more Touhou cosplays. I’ll be attending Confusion in January 2011 in Gothenburg Sweden.
So if anyone is going there, please come up and say hi to me. =P

I have also talked with a bunch of other composers like myself and have learned a lot of interesting facts and tips along the way.
I’m not sure though in what way my music and composing has changed. It’s like I’ve gotten stuck somewhere and I need to figure something out.

Whenever I solve whatever is holding me back, I believe that the music will be improved greatly again.

Right now I’ve been wondering what I should work on doing. There are so many things that has to be done, but where to start?

Oh and I have also been working on a hack of Touhou 10, Mountain of Faith.
It’s come along quite nicely, and one of the two storylines have been finished.
Last time I started re-scripting the levels. But that might take some time since it’s really hard to control.

Well, what to say?
Please leave any comments if you feel like it.

So I’ve been getting these emails like all the time about people wanting to give me millions and millions of dollars for no apparent reason.

Seeing how I am now overwhelmed with money to the point that I can barely even reach my fridge for breakfast, does anyone want to take some of the huge burden?

Just about this week I got emails totaling up to over 100 million $. I don’t even know what to do with it anymore!

It’s like getting spammed. With money!

I bet there’s a lot of you guys out there with the exact same problem. What are your feelings about these annoying emails just heaping money over you?

I really hate Sony so goddamn much right now..

I was bored out of my mind, so I decided to finally pick up Disgaea 3 for PS3, and after getting a bargained copy at the local store I pop in the game to start playing. And the first thing that happens is a big “FUCK YOU” from Sony with a MANDATORY goddamn game update which forces me to download a fucking update for over 1 hour before I can even start playing!

Seriously! If it’s something that should be OPTIONAL on todays consoles, it’s updates! Of course if you want to play a game online you would have to update to play with other players, but I really see no need in this completely retarded application of having to update a single player game for over one hour before I can play it. This is NOT something that makes people happy, rather it will make them pissed of and more likely to not wanting to play the game and/or become hesitant to buying any new games because of the dreaded forced updating.

Although Sony is even worse on this shit than others, in that you even are forced to apply any System Updates if they are available. Before you can even login to your account to see if you have any messages or if any friends are online and so on.

Get it together Sony! What the hell?!

Is working on a completely new gameplay concept.
If this is put into action and released it can redefine the way gaming works.

I can’t post any details about this project but I promise that it is something that could be very interesting if it works out.

So far I’ve been scribbling down notes about the gameplay system and some mechanics about the aspects of the game.

We’ll have to see where this will take us.

As I have been really busy lately with a lot of things going on, I haven’t really had time to update much on this blog.

Needless to say I really haven’t had any time to review more Touhou cd’s as noone is paying me to write about it. lol

Future Touhou cd reviews will most likely be a lot shorter.

I will try to make some music updates here soon and I’m currently working on starting up the Moonsoul Studios project which will have multiple functions, including but not limited to, working as a doujin circle.
