Speaking of nicovideo, am I the only one who finds it _really_ weird
when they interrupt the video you are currently watching for some
broadcast announcement (usually on the full hour)?
Apparently not, since "死ね" seems a common comment when that
happens. :)

It's also interesting that when you switch twitter to japanese you
get ads in the upper right corner... (But maybe the english ones are
just blocked by adblock, I didn't check for that...)

And on eplus.jp the session timeout mechanism doesn't seem to be working
properly, it keeps saying 'your session timed out' until I manually
delete their cookies. *sigh*
