The Unboxing of Lelouch

More than a year has passed since I last posted! Wow, how time flies...!

Suffice it to say it's been a busy, busy, busy year. Lots of things happened, and I guess blogging fell by the wayside - especially that the much easier act of posting updates on Facebook has taken hold.

But nonetheless, here I am again. (^_^)

Once again, things are starting to move, and my life will be facing a lot of jumpstarts in the months to come. Having just moved into a new apartment, I guess I just decided to spend this Saturday in as worry-free mode as I can be - just stay at home to lay back for a while.

So I finally decided to unbox Lelouch vi Brittania a.k.a. Zero (spurned on by discovering the box was damaged during the apartment moving). He's been sitting on my shelf unboxed for, what, three(3) years? Four(4) maybe? :D

So here are some pics. As always, hope you'll like them! Lelouch is really an all-time favorite of mine, and this figure does great justice to the character.

He comes with two pairs of arms. I used the second pair, so that the Zero mask will be visibly displayed. Also, I like how this "hand-waving" gesture gives him the pompous air of authority that so defines the character. (^-^)

 

And finally, I found an inexpensive case where my figurines can be protected from dust! Yey!

And there's these lovely red stuff that just got delivered yesterday...! (;^w^)y

Looking forward... new company, new job, new turning point, and new challenges. I hope I'll have time for the "little" things, like this post. (^_-) (cue bgm: Life Goes On)

Take care always, everyone! And God bless.

Little Milestones: iPod Programming - Caesar Cipher

My humble Caesar Cipher App

Amazing what passes for milestones these days. Just now, I finished an uber-simple caesar cipher application for my iPod. It shouldn't have taken so long, but I wasn't yet used to the Obj-C methods, and searching for, and experimenting with the NSString methods took waaaay too long. But it was a nice and fulfilling experience.

I should have googled in the first place. But I thought wading through the help and documentation system would build more character. Then again, maybe it was just pride. Whatever the reason, I'm just glad I overcame my procrastination. Yup, definitely feels good. ^_^

Hm... I wonder what else I can create. Have to continue reading.
