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!
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.
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.
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!
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.
