Unfinished Symphony

February 26, 2006

Most listened: Lucky Man-The Verve

Most interested: Customization, tweaking

Another music based title, based upon the excellent song by Massive attack and mixed by the legendary Paul Oakenfield in 1990. Its just such an emotional song that doesn’t try to be.

I’ve added the most listened/interested bits in for reference sake when I look back at the entries.

I’ve been setting stuff up recently, tweaking it and getting things right. Done quite a bit.

Themes

I’ve had a look around for some high quality themes for Opera, Trillian and WindowsBlinds. Unfortunately I couldn’t find any decent Opera ones but thats fine as the default skin is pretty neat. I’ve found a cool new Windowsblinds theme and a great Trillian theme based on Windows Vista. The colours of the themes go together so I’m really pleased with it.

Winamp

Finally got my head around my music. After doing some research over @ Winamp.com I’ve learnt to never use the WMA format again. After looking at my options I’ve gone for the popular MP3 format. It has better sound quality than WMA as well. I was gonn go for Ogg Vorbis but Windows hides the file format details and there is limited support for it. So I’ve found a MP3 ripping program that updates my music and allows me to select the right CD details from their database showing me the likely choices. So I’ve been syncing it all into Winamp(which is now updated to v5.2). Man its so much easier.

Desktops

Also found some great wallpapers.

So my laptop is almost supped up.

School so far has been a challenge, there are fewer assignments thanks to the types of subjects but there is plenty of work to push thru. I gotta try and get thru it all. Been spending more time with my friend Garrion which is great, we talk more than what we use to. He’s such a funny dude. Chris and John are hooked on Animal Crossing, I haven’t got into it yet. I’m not 20% thru GTA3, go me!
Been making some new content for the site. An old template from last year was set up for release and I made 2 Mario based sprite wallpapers. I haven’t done anything this week as I’ve had a cold and haven’t been able to do much. I am resting pretty well though, I need the rest.

I am having fun working on the site, the forum is going much faster than before, I still haven’t touched of the features available yet. Its crazy. I can see the potential that the site has and have seen it use some of it recently. The site can become much more popular once we add more content to the site and arrange some things.

Thats it from me, chow!
