Gmail’s Priority Inbox

September 3rd, 2010

When I first got an annoying bright red message instructing me to try Gmail’s new priority inbox, I ignored it. A few minutes later, anxious to get rid of the aforementioned bright red message that just wouldn’t leave me alone, I enabled it.
At first I was hesitant to continue using it; just when I was [...]

So, our trial exams are over! Yay! I have a weekend of pure nothing, after which I will be thoroughly bored and ready to work again.
During our trial period (or, as we liked to call it, "Intense two-week cram sesh"), I listened to a bit of music as I didn’t really have much else to [...]

Updated Firefox Beta

July 28th, 2010

It has support for App Tabs! Awesome stuff.
Seems to be compulsory tab-above-address-bar now, but oh well. Some improved CSS3 support and a few other minor modifications.
… and Chatzilla no longer works.
More info: here, but in short, it’s well worth using.

Ribbit & Exit Path

July 16th, 2010

Whenever I mention a game, it’s either because it’s really pleased me, or it’s really disappointed me. Here’s a bit of both.
Don’t get me wrong; I enjoy Nitrome games. But when their newest game is entitled Ribbit, and involves you controlling a very apt frog-rabbit, it gets a bit painful to continue playing. Which is [...]

Firefox 4.0 Beta

July 11th, 2010

Say hello to Mozilla’s new Beta of Firefox: Firefox 4 Beta 1. Packed full with a slightly redone UI, WebM (plus other stuff) support, the magical ability to render pages more quickly and not freeze quite so much, not work with 90% of my addons (which admittedly isn’t Mozilla’s fault)… it’s a bit of a [...]

Two Games

June 19th, 2010

In between increasingly large work periods I find chill time. So, I do anything but work. Like… play games.
Fault Line
A new Nitrome game which can be found here. Puzzle, with a decent learning curve. Some levels take quite a while to figure out (/endlessly experiment with) which is fun. Not overly hard in the end, [...]

Google is awesome!

May 22nd, 2010

Yes, time for more things that we already knew. They provide a great email service, YouTube, a bunch of other free stuff… oh, yeah, and an internet searching thing. Y’know, that’s why they became known.But today they become far more amazing with a playable version of Pacman as their logo to celebrate its 30th anniversary. [...]

Chisel

May 4th, 2010

Chisel is a game. A decently enjoyable game, I guess. But a game none the less. So in between studying frantically for exams and going insane over studying and thus doing nothing, I found a very short amount of time to complete it (like… 40 minutes maybe, while talking to friends).
Unfortunately, upon completion I found [...]

But this way is COOL! Check out http://balldroppings.com/js/.Thank me later.
Also, as much as I’ve never liked ColledgeHumour and their inability to embed their videos, http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1918852 is well worth a watch. It makes me want to form a cross between Bond and any awesome video game music (Kōji Kondō, I’m looking at you).
Enjoy!

Tiny Castle
This is an exciting game. One of the recent Nitrome ones which I haven’t disliked enough to play (sure, I wasn’t going to complete it originally and a friend suggested that I did… but who could blame me?). It’s kind of slow, but actually a decent game, so I’d recommend playing it.
… that is, [...]
