Euro Truck Simulator

April 22nd, 2008

Euro Truck SimulatorI’m quite looking forward to the release of Euro Truck Simulator in the middle of this year, a game from the same people responsible for the 18 Wheels of Steel series.

I got 18 Wheels of Steel: American Long Haul a few months back and have thoroughly enjoyed it since. I am sure that Euro Truck Simulator will be just as good and the many screenshots available on the official site certainly do look impressive.

Using Javascript without a backup…

April 21st, 2008

NoScriptI use the NoScript extension in Firefox for three main reasons. Firstly it adds another layer of security, allowing me to decide who can and can’t serve me Javascript. For this reason alone I would recommend it to anyone.

Secondly it works as a partial ad-blocker. I don’t mind adverts - websites cost money to run and money typically comes from adverts, however I object to my computer being filled with junk because of it.

The third and final reason I use it is so that I can see how my Javascript based sites function when Javascript is turned off. However this has led me to seeing how other sites function with it turned off and I must say that I am appalled at the number that fail to take the unavailability of Javascript into consideration.

Wysiwyg the Guinea Pig!

April 21st, 2008

Wywiwyg ArrivingSay hello to Wysiwyg (pronounced Wizzywig) the Guinea Pig! :D My little sister has been begging for a guinea pig ever since she saw photos of Gizmo, a guinea pig I had when I was 4.

She saved up some money and my Mum finally agreed that we could get one, so on Friday I cycled the 4 miles to the pet shop to meet my sister from school and pick-up a hutch and guinea pig. She then took a taxi home with the hutch and guinea pig while I cycled back.

Fortheinter.net Logo Design

April 14th, 2008

Fortheinternet LogoI thought I would take a moment to show the logo design for my Fortheinter.net sites (click the thumbnail for a better view). The plan is to have a small series of websites as sub-domains under Fortheinter.net. Each one will be offering an individual product or service. In addition to these sub-sites, the main Fortheinter.net page will also provide links to other projects I’ll be doing, such as MyArtlog.com.

Anyway, this is my logo design for Fortheinter.net. The only variations absolutely certain at the moment are the main logo and the CMS Fortheinter.net logo. The other two will most likely change (especially as portfolio will be part of design).

Wuuuuush!*

April 10th, 2008

*Plagiarised from a friend, but stupid here plagiarised it wrong… :P

So I’ve finally finished the design. Took longer than I expected, even when disregarding my recent days of laziness and delays. Wordpress seemed to make it as difficult as possible to create the theme the way I wanted to. Let me know what you think of it and of any bugs you find. :)
