♤ Parhelia

I'll first thank the bus driver I met this morning. She told me first, "There is a rainbow."
Does rainbow appear in winter? I don't know much about this things so I can't tell. But that was what I saw, a rainbow, indeed.
So when I got off the bus, I started to take pictures. My first reaction was something like iridescent clouds, but my hunch told me it's not possible since iridescent clouds (I'm trying to memorise the word "iridescent" that I don't believe I can manage to do it) are rare--according to wikipedia.
Anyway, that was quite an impressive morning. I was so happy to see some colourful stuff standing out of the whiteout.
However, when I looked around a bit more, I realised there is another patch of rainbow in the opposite direction of the one I just took a shot.
Right, till then I suddenly recalled the term "parhelia"--I'm lying, I only knew its Japanese version "幻日/Genjitsu" and discovered its scientific term after.
--There were actually three suns!
and yet it was -28 °C...
It lasted for a whole day. On my way home, I could still see it, just, in the afternoon, the entire halo-ish ring (I don't know exactly what I can call it!) outside the sun was much clearer.
And, that made my day. Freezing, but pretty.
--I just wish I had my camera with me so I didn't have to use my phone to take pictures! °w°
Look up at the sky, and you'll be blessed.

☆ SelfNote: Apache+CGI on Harvestasya 8

What you do when you're overwhelmed? Doing the dishes, or organising your desktop?
In my case, I cut my fringe (thank god I didn't over cut it), doing irrelevant reading of interest, and fight off setting up CGI support via apache server on my Harvestasya Win8 Pro.
So here I'm gonna make a quick note so I can get things ready in future on another machine, since it's not as that straightforward as installing other progs.
☆:;;:・:;;:*:;;:・:;;:*:;;:・:;;:*:;;:・:;;:*:;;:・:;;:☆
Steps to enable CGI support via Apache on a Harvestasya 8 OS
installation,
Make sure there's nothing "listening (I don't know what it means)" on port 80:
  • CMD$ netstat -ao
  • fetch (PID) associated with :80 on the left side (like skype),
  • taskkill /pid
Run CMD as admin, and start the installing msi file.
  • network domain/server name: localhost
after installing,
test installation by hitting 127.0.0.1 and/or localhost in browser,
  • if 127 works but localhost doesn't, open
  • "C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts",
  • add 127.0.0.1 localhost at the end.
to enable CGI,
find out and open "\conf\httpd.conf"
turn on:
  • LoadModule cgi_module modules/mod_cgi.so
  • AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl
find out: <Directory />
change following to:
  • Options FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI
now test the printenv.pl file by hitting (see more below)
  • http://localhost/cgi-bin/printenv.pl
to set up another dir the website root,
change following to your own dir:
  • DocumentRoot "D:/kiyoland/atelier/PocchongDe"
  • <Directory "D:/kiyoland/atelier/PocchongDe">
  • ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "D:/kiyoland/atelier/PocchongDe/cgi-bin/"
to properly exec CGI, use the path of perl.exe as the first line:
  • #!D:/strawberry/perl/bin/perl.exe
That should be enough for now.

Speaking about Harvestasya, I just turned a 5-min scribble into a new work:

HARVESTASYA Pro 8.0 by kiyosoft ・ω・★
I stick with 8.0 because 8.1 sucks (as far as I know).
XP is pink, VISTA is blue, so 8.0 should be the mixed up violet--with a pair of wings.
If you don't know what I'm talking about, look up Ar Tonelico 3, and if you wonder why she has no legs, it's because she's supposed to be a hand puppet--I wish I could make such a hand puppet someday for real!
And that's it~

✽ Sparkles Out of Boredom

Perhaps October was too sweet so that November sucks a lot... including the most recent M3. I'll never accept that kind of style even that's Annabel!
Thus, every day, I loop that two albums in turn again and again. If counting the play time, I could have gained 2k+ each. :higurashi:
The beginning seems pointless, so will be the whole post, I guarantee.
Let's talk about GUST a little bit. From Ar Tonelico to Ciel nosurge (or is it Ciel no Surge?).
I vaguely remember when I was first introduced to Hymmnos, I was lost due to the rather weird song titles.
Later, I realised those EXEC things are like the exe extension on any WinOS (probably that's why Akira Tsuchiya referred EXEC hymmnos to WinOS).
Even later, more accurately, since this summer, together with my Perl experience accumulating, I started to name my module files using the prefix METHOD (although in terms of hymmnos METHOD is more like the Mac OS). -- I don't deny that I really want to write all my system calls using exec but it doesn't give me a return... :worried:
Then, go back to this February. Ciel nosurge was released (and I have no idea about what kind of game it is). They said C.N. is derived from A.T. (if my memory is right), but even solely based on how the text "looks" like, you could tell CN and AT belong to two totally different systems. Well, you've to agree with that the beginning part of C.N. is so "Utau Oka (=A.T)" like, and that similar singers are involved also prove these two games are somehow related.
They should be, just the link isn't that strong to fully convince me. I simply do what I usually do: enjoy the music, ignore the context (until someday I get a chance to touch the game).
Now, just a few days ago--this Thursday. I was organising my cue sheet files, and--I opened this file, and something rang in my head.
--Aren't these OO packages and hash refs???

Not exactly the same--of course, we're not looking at a programming reference book!--this does resemble what I've been spending time to have trouble with. It's funny, that I'm kind of pleased by seeing the ending semicolon for track 3. :wink:
So, we can conclude that AT is about how to execute scripts/programs, and C.N. is about how to assemble modules/packages.

I've begun to learn the software MrBayes since last week. I don't have a mathematical brain so I didn't know that was a mathematician's name. :left: Anyway, even without knowing anything about the theory itself, the running screen is beautiful! So that gives me an impulse to learn more about statistics! But no, I know I'll not do it for now.
But, when can you converge?! I've been running the (really small) dataset for more than one day! Or maybe I should change the parameters, the tricky part. :waiting:

Recently I'm in a super classical mode and thus I can concentrate. Meanwhile, I noticed quite a lot from my classical collection are under label DECCA. Before I didn't pay much attention, but now I started to have a special affection for it.
See, DECCA=>でっかい (DEKKAi)=>Super huge! Thus describes DECCA selections. :lol:
Although I have nothing new in November to append into my music collection, at least I'm having fun with this or that brain sparks, which is good for appending into my blog xml compilation. :papasmurf:
