Hehe, I read this from my feed reader.
An independent group holding a Gears of War Crimes Tribunal at the Coalition of Ordered Governments headquarters Wednesday to assess whether Delta Squad members Colonel Hoffman, Marcus Fenix, and Dominic Santiago had committed atrocities against the Locust Horde found the three super-soldiers’ actions justified.
The WordPress team has released another new version of WordPress for everyone to upgrade to. I’ll be upgrading once I’ve got the time in my hands.
Alrighty, rdegree has been upgraded from WordPress 2.3.3 to WordPress 2.5. It went very well. No problems or random hickups so far. And it took around merely 10 minutes—excluding download and upload times with FTP of course.
I like the new interface in the admin panel, although some options and buttons have been moved to quite odd places. I’ve also upgraded my offline version, so I can continue creating the design and keep the two synchronized. And all plugins work fine, no need to wake up creators for new versions.
Some of you must’ve heard about this, but I just found it. I just love these scientists, they’ve been researching on a grid system, capable of transmitting information quite a bit faster than the normal connections people use when surfing the net.
At speeds about 10,000 times faster than a typical broadband connection, “the grid” will be able to send the entire Rolling Stones back catalogue from Britain to Japan in less than two seconds.
Yeah, I was awestruck by that statement. And I thought I had a speedy connection. I can already imagine real-time FPS matches with hundreds, even thousands of players. Lag-free! And think about file-sharing. Gigs after gigs, in mere seconds.
Of course, the system is still quite young. Oh well, you can always hope.
I discovered a cool little website called rssHugger today. After clicking the “random blog” link a few times, some great bloggers have already gained another new subscriber.
So how blog authors benefit? Simple: more visibility on a big site. You can categorize your blog in the directory (maximum of 5 different categories though), and by posting good content (although the site diplays only your headlines) and giving links to that rssHugger page of yours’ will get you more views. Watch me link to mine in a low profile fashion. And by getting more pageviews at rssHugger, you’ve got more chances being on the Top 100 page. It is cleaned each month, so every blog has a better chance appearing on it. A real traffic puller I might say.
RssHugger has grown a bit over the time. It began as a project where bloggers could get indexed for a fee of $10. Now the fee has been removed, and by paying $20 or writing a review of the site (guess which I’m doing), your blog can be indexed in no time.
As a web design amateur/fan/whatever you like, I’d say the design of rssHugger could use some work. I find it a bit irritating to read that mix of white and orange on black/dim grey… Oh well, opinions opinions.
Otherwise I gladly suggest you at least view the site. You never know what kind of gems you might find there after clicking the random blog link!
Yup, yet again I haven’t been able to work on the design, I’ve got a relationship, high school and a drivers’ license to work with, but I’ve sprinkled some work on the design too. It’s coming along just fine, a bit slow though.
And Epic Games has just announced that they’ll be holding another Make Something Unreal Contest, for UT3 this time! Now, every modder, artist, mapper or whatever your craft is, go and Make Something Unreal! I think I’ll be better off staying with levels, so let’s hope I get something done—and during this year if possible.
Also, WP2.5 has made a stable release. Be sure to upgrade your install as soon as possible. After I’ve upgraded rdegree, I’ll share my experiences, if I get any.
