Dear Santa, thank you for the dolls and pencils and the fish. It's Easter now, so I hope I didn't wake you but... honest, it is an emergency. There's a crack in my wall. Aunt Sharon says it's just an ordinary crack, but I know its not cause at night there's voices so... please please can you send someone to fix it? Or a policeman, or... Back in a moment. Thank you Santa.
MacWassh is fun after a few drinks, accepting it on its own terms. Toradora is a huge hit at our house (we're reminded of the movie "Lion in Winter," in that you don't have to like someone to love them); and Ami should be punched in the face at least once per ep. Index (the character) is very easy on the eyes, but the story is Byzantine and the writing an insult to rooms full of monkeys; gave up after ep.5.
Hyakko showed some promise, but seems to have run off the fansub rails.

Pixy, bug? Google doesn't seem to index the "more inside" parts of our posts. For instance, this post of mine includes the phrase "has grabbed Sakamoto with the other". But Google can't find it.
My guess is that you have a "no-follow" or a robots.txt setting which is preventing Google from looking inside all the posts.

Mmm, nope Everything in Minx should be indexable and search-engine friendly.
I'll do a bit of poking around and see what I can come up with.

As you've seen, I'm doing a test to prove it one way or the other.

Speaking of strangeness, on your right column you have a section labeled "topics" which lists the subject lines of recent posts. The first entry is "Aboot" and it doesn't link to anything. The second entry points to your most recent post.

Huh. I thought the Aboot link was still bringing up my sort-of-hidden "about the author" page. Seems not to be working.

Sorry about the quality, particularly with that last one. Youtube seems determined to squeeze every last bit out of the file size these days. When my copy of Adobe Design Studio CS4 arrives next week I'll re-encode them as Flash H.264 and put up local copies.
That's really the Kannagi OP? That's gotta be the most deceptive OP since Misaki Chronicles!
Well, obviously I haven't seen the whole series yet, but the way things are going it may well turn out to be deceptive the way - aargh, brain fail ... thanks, Google - the Narutaru OP is. That is, once you've seen the show, the OP makes perfect sense.
The Kemeko OP is... yikes! She really stabs a guy in the middle of it?
That's probably a robot.

I looked into it, but could not love the characters. Jin thinks he knows it all, Nagi is meh... Absolutely amazing animation of the movement, Lucky Star level or better.

The characters certainly have some rough edges in the first episode, but I think they fill out nicely as the series progresses.
I don't think it's as good as, say, Kamichu! (but really, what is?) But I like it well enough, and the OP is great.

My current Linux box is Yurie. My current Vista box is Haruhi. My notebook is Potemayo/Guchuko. (It's dual-boot.)
So, logically, I need a female anime character who's the star of a 2008 series, is petite, and possesses remarkable powers.*
By pure coincidence, Lina - the name of my previous Windows box - would fit perfectly. But I'm willing to go further afield.
* But not names of female anime characters starting with A or M that are also the names of colours. Those are reserved for servers. And yes, there's enough to keep mu.nu and mee.nu running for years.
Kemeko sounds like a good one, though, because two of the names I've used were from self-titled shows, and Kamichu! nearly so. (It's title-self-titled, so to speak, since Yurie is the Kamichu.)

Falce (which is pronounced fall-cheh) would be the best choice.
Her true form is a magical staff, an instrument. Yet she's intelligent and friendly and helpful, in her human anthropomorphized form. AND stacked -- about 0.8 Rushunas.
Yet another choice is Eineus, Sakuma's catgirl maid familiar.

A show with a number of prominent female characters is good, because I use the other girls names for virtual machines.

Well, that one also has Miyabi and Syn, respectively a goddess and a demoness.

If it's a small formfactor system, there is no question but that it has to be named after the Palmtop Tiger herself, Taiga from Toradora!
Since it's not, however, there is only one possible name. She's intelligent with great powers, and has enough memory to store 110000 forbidden grimoires in her brain... that she can recall instantly. Yes, I'm speaking of Dedicatus545... who's better known as simply "Index".
