Debating whether to get Patapon now

I’ve been hearing about Patapon on the 1Up Yours podcast for a while now, so I decided to do a YouTube search to see a bit of the gameplay. Every review I’ve seen gives the game thumbs up, and on Amazon it’s only $20. Seeing the video on YouTube made their silly little pata-pata-pata-pon song stick in a mental loop (I think I’ve been rick rolled).Here is some wiki information

This season’s orphaned shows

OK, so the television season has been over for a few weeks and we’ve now found out which shows have been orphaned, in other words cancelled. Here are four shows that I wish would get picked up by another television station:Jericho: Network: CBS. Post nuclear USA. If you haven’t seen it, you should! It’s a season and a half of great suspense. The end of the second season leaves us

Television Tuesday: Της Ελλάδος τα Παιδιά

OK for those who don’t read (or speak) Greek, the show is called “Greece’s Children”, it’s sort of slang for the young people that are military service. The show is about these slackers who serve in the Greek Air Force, their commander, the local snitch, and of course the General that comes in on surprise inspection visits.The show is of course a comedy staring Yannis

Need to do a site redesign

…but I don’t know exactly what to do!I need to do some RapidWeaver cleaning out. I’ve got some obsolete themes from the RapidWeaver 3.1 era that I downloaded a while back, and that have been orphaned by their creators. I like the themes, and I wanted to update them for rapidweaver 3.6 and 4.0 and redistribute them (for free of course), but I simply have not had the time.I think my

Does it run RapidWeaver?

Over the past few weeks I’ve been debating the purchase of a new laptop. No, my PowerBook G4 is still chugging along, but there is something to be said about doing your homework and research on your sofa, wirelessly, rather than being tethered to an Ethernet cable near your router.I’ve been looking at the Eee PC, and the ubuntu subnotebooks because my N800 experiences this far have been

Slow, slow progress…

Painting is going slower than I had anticipated.On the plus side, I am done (or almost done) with sanding most of the re hard-to-remove paint off most of the wall. Now the hard part starts: using a heat gun and a scraper to remove pain off the door, door molding and window molding. Hopefully the weather this weekend will be sunny and I can get (most) of this done. I am looking forward to the cleanup,

Video Game Friday: Wolfenstein 3D (DOS)

Back in the days of DOS and Windows 3.1 I witnessed the heyday of Shareware on disk. Even though I owned a Mac, I could not resist deals when I went into the Staples that was next door to my dad’s garage. I saw prepackaged disks with games such as Wolfenstein for $5 (if I recall correctly). My dad and I used to visit friends with Intel 386 machines, so I always brought along the shareware that

Κακότυχο Σαββατοκύριακο!

Καλά, αυτό και αν ήταν σαββατοκύριακο! Παρασκευή: Βροχερός καιρός...και είχα πάρει άδεια για να καθαρίσω και να βάψω το μπαλκόνι. Δουλειά δεν έγινε. Το αυτοκίνητο χαλασμένο από ένα πράγμα που δήθεν έφτιαξε η αντιπροσωπεία

WWDC 2008 Αντιδράσεις: Εφαρμογές που θέλω να δω...

Όποιος παρακολουθούσε το keynote του Στήβ Τζομπς ξέρει πως δείξανε αρκετά demo εφαρμογών από διάφορους developer. Να πω την αλήθεια δεν μου άρεσαν και πολλές. Εντάξει, ένα ή δύο παιχνίδια θα έπαιζα, αλλά οι εφαρμογές που κάνουν την

Observations of online classes

Well, this is the end of my second week of online classes. Thus far things seem to be going well, I enjoy the forum interactions with my classmates, but not having that face to face contact, sometimes I get the sense that some of my classmates are a-holes. They probably aren’t, but when you just read text, you tend to read into things, and often your mood at the time you are reading what they
