So I finally took it upon myself to upgrade my wordpress, I think I was like 3 releases behind… the reason why I hadn’t done it was because of all of the horror stories i’ve heard about upgrading. People have problems with it, they loose posts, images, and more. Well, It’s all good in the world of Cursing Angel.
I you haven’t upgraded your version, make sure you do, it has a brand new interface, super easy to use, much more intuitive. Not that the previous was bad, but this is just better

Happy blogging!
So, I came across this service a few days ago, and I was very reluctant when I first learned about it. I’ll give you my short review…
So, apparently you can donwload movies, games and music to the Wii… this essentially makes your Wii a very powerful entertainment center. Not only that, but you can download all of the media into your PC and then transfer it to the Wii, giving you even more flexibility with your downloads.
And what’s the downside? Well, after a while, you’ll find yourself paying a lot of money for all of this media.
Solution: Wii Media Downloads
These people offer unlimited downloads to all kinds of media. I’ve taken their key description and used it here (I hope they are ok with this):
-
- Access to the fastest Wii downloads on the net!
- Members have unlimited access, no restrictions!
- Unlimited free Movie, Music, Tv Shows, Games, Software and more!
- Free 24 hour Technical Support
- No monthly or “Pay Per Download” fees
- Easy Software to install & use
- Digital Quality Movies & Music!
- Huge Media Selection.
- Free DVD to PC to Wii Software.
- Free Step by Step Tutorials to get you started immediately!
This is definitely going to by a Birthday present for my sister who owns a Wii, i’m sure she’ll love it.
Posted on: January 7th, 2009 Happy 2009!
Just wanted to wish everyone a happy 2009!
Wanted to start this year with a site released by the Swedish Armed Forces, they did a remake on their previous site which used basic funcionality and awesome sound design, to create an atmosphere in which the user had to pass a few tests to proove their worth for the armed forces. I particularly loved that site, my previous post was here:

Anyway, here’s their remake to this great idea, I believe they are using Papervision, but again, simple concept, great excecution, and again taking advantage of sound, which more and more are making their mark on great websites.

Someone attending my Flash Class forwarded me this useful resource, just thought i’d shared it with everyone, since it seems pretty useful… It’s basically a way to embed custom fonts into your HTML page. If you didn’t know this, you can only embed a certain group of fonts into you HTML page, well, using this, you’ll be able to apply custom font faces to match your design… This also keeps you from embedding the custom fonts as images… I haven’t tried it yet, but I want to build a test page and implement the code… Thanks Rauno!

Ok, so I found this on Kirupa.com, it’s a complete tutorial on how to build a scrollbar… NOTE: I haven’t tried doing this tutorial myself, so I don’t know the extent of the code, complexity or ease of use. With that said, it seems pretty straight forward, nothing you can’t follow yourself.

Here’s a root growing system I found. Levitated has been known for his amazing engines, utilizing math and logic to create really cool stuff. Check it out:

By now, pretty much everybody’s heard of the movie Quarantine, I won’t talk about what the movie is about, all I will say is that is pretty suspenseful, with a weird ending… To be honest, I wasn’t too impressed with this rendition of the movie. I first heard of the film by looking at Rec Movie’s website
http://www.recmovie.co.uk/flash/
Here’s the teaser trailer:

Here’s the trailer for Quarantine:

I have to say, after watching both movies, I can say that the original REC Movie was more intense, and really kept me on the edge of my couch. Maybe it’s because I already knew what it was about, the Quarantine fell short of that. Not to say that it is a good movie, but i’ll just say that if you haven’t watched Quarantine, do yourself a favor, watch REC first.
I found this article the other day, and I thought it was very interesting to see the font trend now days.
