I just finished updating the Old Castle Alpacas website with a brand new theme. Check it out at www.oldcastlealpacas.com!
Hey everyone, in case you haven't heard, anyone can download the Beta version of Windows 7 in 32-bit or 64-bit.
So I was looking for some cool wallpapers and I stumbled upon this beautiful geyser. Fly geyser is located on private property in Black Rock Desert of Northwest Nevada. It is actually a man-made geyser which was opened up by accident during drilling which ruptured a geo-thermal hot spot. The vibrant green and red colors are apparently from a kind of algae that grows on the mineral deposits, as well as the mineral deposits themselves. Unfortunately the owners of the property are not allowing public visitors. I did find the next best thing on youtube though. There are lots of pictures of Fly Geyser on Google images as well.
The dreaded day has come! Today Youtube has launched their widescreen 16:9 format video option. Now anyone can upload higher resolution videos...
Apparently they haven't done the embed in high resolution wide screen format yet...
Well, I found out how to do the widescreen format... you need to add &fmt=22 to the end of the video url, and change the resolution to 640x385 in 3 places manually.
Hey all, I coded up a keyword permutation tool that you might be interested if you do search engine marketing. It's been useful to me, so I figure others might find it useful as well. I wrote it in PHP programming language. It's free to use, and ad-free as well so please enjoy! I have licensed it with the GPL 3.0 license and the source code is available for download as well.
I just read Google's comic about their new web browser Google Chrome. The browser will be released tomorrow [9/2/2008] and I'm sad to say that I may be dropping Firefox for Chrome if it turns out to be stable.
The new browser has some very cool new ideas, such as:
- Tabs are now at the top of the browser instead of within the browser, meaning that if a tab crashes, only the tab that crashes will cease to function. The rest of the browser will still work fine. This is due to the fact that each tab is essentially its own browser.
- New Javascript Machine "V8" means that javascript applications will run much quicker. E.g. Google Docs, which I use on a daily basis at the office and at home.
- Higher security due to the fact that this browser was written from scratch after phishing and malware scams came about.
- Awesome new starting page which lists the top web pages that you visit based on your history as well as your most searched web pages along the side.
You can download the new browser at google.com/chrome/ tomorrow. Not sure of the exact time so check the page often.
Last night (well, okay, so it was early this morning) I finished updating the Old Castle Alpacas website with the new and improved theme!
Updated your browser or download it at mozilla.com. Don't forget to help Firefox break the World Record for most downloads in one day.
I finally broke down and bought a Wacom tablet for my PC. I went with the Bamboo Fun. It's small, but you know what? It doesn't matter. I am perfectly capable of editing at 100% with perfect accuracy with it. I don't see why I would need a larger pad. In fact, a larger pad would require I move my hand farther to get to the other side of my image. So the smaller pad is much nicer in that I can use smaller motions to get larger effects on the screen. The fact that it is pixel perfect means that you won't lose any details at all.
I just finished touching up the theme for my Nintendo News Website Wii Play Games. Visually you will notice that the sidebar has new font styles. Behind the scenes the theme has been overhauled in that the sidebar is now located under the actual page content now instead of on top of the page. This is to help Google come up with better descriptions for the pages.
I also updated to Wordpress 2.5 which has an very well done new administration interface. Much quicker to navigate through now and the WYSIWYG editor doesn't screw up your code anymore! :D happy days!
Microsoft has just coughed up the standalone version of Windows Vista SP1! Just thought I would let you know!
I just completed my very first original sound track tonight called "Nameless", just a few minutes ago actually. I play both the lead and backup guitar.
Download Nameless Now!
Thanks to digg again, I have stumbled across the best Guitar Effects processing software. It's called Jesusonic and it is by the same man who wrote winamp. It comes in two different forms, standalone as well as included with another application by the same guy called Reaper. I have installed the Reaper version of Jesusonic and I must say that it is a huge step above my previous choice Gnuitar which hasn't been updated since the stone age.
I was just introduced to this anime by a friend. I watched the first episode yesterday and I gotta admit, I am addicted! I couldn't stop, and stayed up until the wee hours of the night watching the first 5 episodes. Right now it is available in full on YouTube for everyone to enjoy. It is available in English, however I recommend watching it in Japanese with English subs.
Notepad++ is by far the best open source text editor available for windows. I use it to code every single website I create and recommend it to everyone I meet. It's clean code highlighting makes ten times easier to code than Notepad. Check it out at http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net.
