Found a great little song made up of samples from Portal, by “Keith” who has it available here for download.
(I would give more credit to the author if I knew more, but I am afraid i don’t)

And it gives me a great excuse to use my new audio plugin.

Yep I’ve been playing portal too, what a FUN game that was; yep completed alread damn its too short , I want more but I guess I will have to make do with some more site updates including a rather nifty audio player. So check it out and listen to the song from portal, the lyrics will make more sense if you actually played the game, i recommend you do!

I upgraded my DS Pictoblogging category to use the new color images. I’ll probably be doodling a lot now though maybe only my good pics will end up on thier gallery.

Now i just need them to add some more things to it such as:

• Add a custom subject for the email / blog post
• Add custom email text / blog post text
• Be able to choose to send as an email, or as a blog post using the much used XMLRPC standard
• Make me able to draw better
• oh and store the email address or blog details, so we dont have to re-enter them

Well it might be a long list, but easy to impliment, except for 1 maybe that would take time. I can dream.

“The cat wants in..” , This is what is said in my house when cat scrabbling is heard at the back door, I turn and look , and there is this face looking back at me through the glass.. such a cute , innocent face… year right, do you know who that is, that is Trouble and she is called that for a reason.

So 14 days outside my 360 warrenty my Xbox has died from the Unplayable Disc error that seems to occur more and more in boxes with the Hitachi drive, pretty much sods law as I was going to extend my warrenty what with the much speculated high failure rate in 360s. I didn’t think it would happen to me, my 360 was so well looked after, but I guess it doesnt matter, it’s just poor manufacturing components. Anyway i could open it myself and fix it, as there is a fix for this (read entire post for details) but instead im just gonna send it back fo repair and hopefully have it back in about 2 weeks or so. Anyway I’ll update the blog as I progress with this.

So in the mean time, I’m catching up with some DS gaming as the new Zelda Phantom HourGlass just came out here, hopefully that will satisfy my needs until M$ sorts out my 360. So far i’m loving it , but I am worrying about 1 part of the game where you seem to be doing the same dungeon over and over again (going deeper each time, but still annoying doing the beggining part over and over)

(more…)

Over the coming weeks I shall be making a new wordpress theme, my current theme is good, but there are things that bug me such as the width on the main content. I’ve just upgraded to wordpress 2.3 and with it I can do more funky things with my blog (plus added security from all thhose spam bots), so thats what I intend to do! I’m keeping the specifics secret, but I’ve been intending to do this for a while, maybe it’s becuase I have a new contributer recently (GamerX) that has made me want to make some improvements around here, but the walls definatly need some touching up. If you have any suggestions for the site stick em in the comments.

Just a quick note to mention I finally got around to changing some code so I can post pictures scribbles from my Nintendo DS straight to my blog inside a category so it’s not spammed on the front page. so check em out here.

in addition a new app has hit my radar for doodling on the DS, if your into DS hoomebrew you should check it out.
It’s an application called Colors , visit thier homepage here. I’ll see if in the long term i can switch over from pictoblogging to posts by the color app as it kicks pictoblogs ass.
