I was over at the Informary today and noticed that there was a new version of Inform out! To my surprise, Inform 7 had been released. After reading about it a bit, I had to download it and give it a spin. Graham Nelson decided to try a different approach to creating interactive fiction using natural
I added a new song to my ACID Planet site last Tuesday called Hate You Again. It is my submission to the Distorted Reality Contest. I really liked the vocals and tried to use them to drive the song. The “hate you again” stood out to me and I used it to frame the mix. Enjoy. With the demise of AC
Well, I didn’t add any new songs, but I did add a new image to my ACID Planet site. I used a photo I took when camping a few years back. I played around with filters and special effects in Microsoft Digital Image Suite to set the mood I was looking for. I think it came out pretty nicely.
Okay, was playing around with ACID loops again. I've added another song to my ACID Planet site called Croak. This time, I’m playing with different sounds and beats to get a unique feel. Again, this one isn’t very long, so enjoy!
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 disappointed 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.
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.
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.
So, I decided to try to play in the wild new world of blogs. In true “do it yourself” fashion, I created my own little method of creating blog files. Sure, it doesn’t look any different, but it should make it easier for me to add stuff. Okay, so I have the story files working.
Oh, that little calendar 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.
Well, yes. Another change! Okay, one that is for the better. I updated the slide show to use JavaScript to rotate the images. It is less annoying and doesn’t mess with your history. The other change is the addition of a calendar. Yes, a completely useless update. Sort of.
Although the display isn’t much different, the code behind my site has changed a bit. I’ve converted the site layout to CSS, no more <table> layouts. It takes a bit more work to get CSS to look right, but I think it is worth it. Most of the other changes are in the back end so that I can now start working on other site content.
