My opinion - probably because most of the time Matt was arguing with Tai over leadership issues whilst at the same time he also had to worry about TK. So a lot was on his mind. I do feel though Mimi and Sora didn't have as much screen time than Tai and Matt.. It's interesting you interpret it as a possible crush between Matt and Mimi.

Hello @Ket, welcome to the AN Community forums. I'll poke one of our Digimon Adventure/02 experts who may be able to answer your questions.

Woolworths beef sausages and Woolworths pre-packed crunchy leaf salad. ^^

I bought two new Acer monitors today from Officeworks, makes working on AN a LOT easier now... The side ones are 23" Acer G246HLs, the middle one is my main 27" Dell U2713H. All connected via DVI.

Just programming language? Not sure what they're asking either - do they mean to write pseudocode (the basic algorithm) ? After you do pseudocode (the plan) you can apply it to any language.

Ooo... heavy reading. I like the style too, they're great for basic/beginner level. I normally use free online resources but I found for Japanese they were too business oriented. This one had a nice diverse range of topics and assumes you are really new to the language (good for busy people like me)

Eep, so it seems the page managing site is compressing the image twice hence the reduction in quality/size? Not good at all @NightDancer will send you the link via PM or FB. ^^

Today I bought a book called "Japanese for Dummies" to help learn some Japanese for my upcoming trip to Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka and Nagano in May.

Beef satay and rice from a Chinese takeaway. ^^

I started watching K-On! for the very first time! It's about a bunch of high schoolers that decide to form a music band (K-On, meaning light music band). Yui is so absurdly dense and silly whilst her, and all the other band members have funny personalities. The rich one, the ambitious one and the kawaii/moe one. But... I love it... even if Angel Beats had more music though funnily enough. There is no real storyline other than character bonding and just mucking around, which is fine since it really makes you laugh with their silly behaviour. I am really really considering making a minisite for it...

Your cousin's costume looks good. Also looking forward to your Leafa costume, just finishing touches on your sword right?

Dreams do seem random don't they? Apparantly when you dream you're really in that deep stage of sleep and your mind is really recovering then (don't quote me on that). Thing is since I started working full-time I rarely dream anymore. Probably due to my short 6-7 hour sleep days during the week. How long do you normally sleep Katy?

WhatsApp from memory lets you export the conversation as a text file, you could then save that in cloud storage as a backup. A little cubersome but the option is there. ^^ My random rant: weekend at last. Warning, caps: I MUST MUST MUST FINISH WRITING THIS GUNDAM SEED EPISODE GUIDE THIS WEEKEND!!!

Something I'd like to bring up that I've had to clarify with some people is the difference between bear and bare. Bear by itself is a noun. For example: Look at that big brown bear! Bare is an adjective. For example: He/she is bare naked! The Gundam became bare and vulnerable after it's Phase Shift armour was deactivated due to its energy reserves being depleted. The fence looked bare without any paint. Now it can get confusing because bear can also be a verb. Examples: - I can't bear this long wait any longer! - Lacus could tell Kira was having difficulty bearing the burden of piloting the Gundam because he was forced to kill in order to protect his friends. - Bear in mind, it could take awhile to order due to the long queue. So keep that in mind.

Oh nice. Android version? Is it crashing for you or relatively stable? Just bear in mind the Gallery isn't included in that app, but with the app you do get push notifications. So there's pros and cons to using the Tapatalk app vs visiting the forum directly (responsive layout works well with all the features but still not as fast as Tapatalk for just browsing posts/topics).

Noo! It's cheap and eck. I would rather share the good stuff. Today we had pan-fried beef sausages, garlic bread slices in the oven and pasta salad. Convenient supermarket stuff on a lazy Friday night.

Yeah like the time he released Butterfree!! That still bothers me...

It is a pretty dynamic pose isn't it? ^^ It is also the most heaviest figure in that group, because of her ridiculously long hair..

Haha, that's a cheeky chart. Most of us would be Kage I think.

Oooo.... what beautiful colour did you choose?

Regarding battery life, there are two things to consider. Firstly as @Fab mentioned yes, naturally it will drain more if there are many background services and apps. Just having Facebook Messenger, Skype, WhatsApp, Twitter and Tumblr drained my battery more considerably. Even if most of them are push-based notifications, they will still drain more battery in the background. So for Android users you'll definitely want to keep an eye on that. For iOS users you'll probably just want to disable the push notifications in the Settings app or sign out of those applications/ Secondly as @NightDancer and @Caroline alluded to, the battery may be faulty. Particularly if it drains extremely rapidly (sudden drop from say 90% to something really low like 30% as opposed to gradual drop) or if the capacity of the battery has dropped below a certain threshold whilst still in warranty. If you have an iOS device Apple can do an on the spot check for you if you live near an Apple Store. You'll find that warranty on batteries will always tend to be met with some questioning by the manufacturer as they're generally considered a consumable... for example if the battery reports having over 500+ recharge cycles in less than a year then that would be interpreted as being excessive as normal use would normally be defined as being fully charged within 1-2 days. To get 500+ cycles you'd have to be fully charging 3-4 times a day! I speak from experience from dealing with Apple's battery policies for MacBook laptops at a school.
