Speed Me Up

I added a new song to my ACID Planet site called Speed Me Up. I took an Asian melody and threw various electronic and heavy riffs at it. Not very long, unlike my earlier attempts, so give it a play!


Updated My Geocities Site

I updated my GeoCities Imagination web site the other day to add a link to this site. I'm really disapointed with GeoCities since Yahoo! picked it up. Ever since they dropped ftp, making it a pain to update it, I haven't added any content. Their update tools aren't bad, just a pain. Recently I found that they rate limited the site to make it almost useless - 4.9MB an hour, get real. Oh, well. It's been my primary site for almost 10 years now, I guess I shouldn't complain.


XBOX 360 Can Blog

This is hilarious. You can now have your XBOX 360 blog. So funny! Picked this up from Major Nelson. My Xbox 360 isn't too chatty now, but I'm sure as I spend more time playing Oblivion, the more it will speak out. Looking at others, it does get a bit repetitive. But it is an interesting use of the Xbox Live! feeds.

Speaking of Oblivion. I spent most of Saturday night playing it with my daughter. We'd take turns controlling our character and attempting to figure out how to deal with being a Vampire. I guess some people enjoy being a Vampire, but I find it annoying. Oh, well. Either way, this game is still loads of fun.


Playing into Oblivion

Okay, I broke down and bought The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion for the XBOX 360 yesterday. I had some free time today, so I spun up the DVD drive and took the game for a spin. I spent a little over 3 hours working my way towards the first quest, exploring the countryside as I go. What fun, and what diversity. I've made it through a small tower dungeon after the tutorial. I've been killed a few times at a nearby ruins -- not so nice. And I even did some deer hunting -- darn things are hard to hit with a bow and arrow. Needless to say, I will be playing this game for quite some time to come!


That Calander Does Something

Oh, that little calander I said was worthless now actually does something! It now links back to the story files for a particular date.

Also, I updated the design a bit to make the side bar floating and not merge with the footer. Purse CSS does have its drawbacks -- well at least if you want to support IE. Seems IE doesn't support the height property properly, so columns won't line up together. Rather then use tables (politics aside), I settled on a slight modification to the design.
