Last weeks round up. This weeks theme is...
My recent catch. Much of the stuff that I order online seems to arrive in batches even though they were purchased at different places. The figure samples I get also seem arrive at the same time as everything else which completely messes up the room.
The Mac Mini is my second one - this time round an Intel used for "stuff" and is attached to the TV. The old Mini is now a development server - opened a port in the router and is now available for ssh from the outside.
The figures are Kyons sister (does anybody know her actual name - I never caught it) and Mai with her cannons. Theres the recent Dengeki Hime and other eroge mags too.
Do you buy most of your stuff on or offline?
BTW, sorry for the image intensive post - didn't realize I wrote so many just for last week ^^;
