Auditorium – Audio Flash Game

Dazz — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 03:18:19 +0000

If you haven’t already seen Auditorium – I suggest you go http://www.playauditorium.com/ now and play. Just stop what you’re doing and go play. Epic little game where you need to force particular waves into little boxes. When the boxes fill up they start to play music. Fill all the boxes on the level and you’re onto the next!

After the level finishes, the boxes and your little items (that change where the little waves are going) fade from the screen and you’re left with the pattern behind. Got this and it made me laugh. Not sure if that confirms I have to get out more, but it’s epic all the same.

I removed the level from the right hand corner (MS-Paint ftw!) so you can’t work out which level this is a solution to. So don’t ask <_< K COOKIE – That means you.

Workin hard!

Mate of mine linked this to me, I believe it was his friend that drew this. It’s so true, awesome, and epicly epic.

I promise one day I’ll start to catch up on the rest of his site. Of course makes me lol to see awesome work like this on the net (I think you have to be in one of those professions to truly understand it).

On another note, I also promise soon enough I’ll begin to write some awesome little tutorials on random things. First up I think will be a Vista Sidebar/Windows7 Desktop Gadget for remote Linux monitoring – in all it’s glory, as personally I think there is only so many web pages open you can have (even on 4 screens) before you start to do your own head in.

As per my brothers request, DON’T LOOK AT HIM. Look at the rolled up stuff in the field we drove past. Every one had a different smiley (or frowning) face. Completely Epic.

Apparently this was just in the news. http://www.news.com.au/story/0,,26258646-2,00.html See what happens when you are stuck at home working all the time (or driving and paying too much attention to the road).

Cartoon Face awesomeness

As per my old blog, this picture was created by me under the watchful eye of Karl Short as a learning experience for Adobe Illustrator. After all was complete, I still don’t have any creative talents whatsoever. So make sure you don’t ask me to make you one. Having said that, it’s still an awesome picture!

While everyone has undoubtedly seen this image hundreds of times, it is still extremely accurate, well humoured and sadly true. And everyone loves a little chuckle, even if it is a repeated chuckle.

Somethings never change

So here’s new windows 7 – semi-excited and thankful it was a give away from Microsoft. While I doubt I would have made the jump from Vista to Windows 7 simply because “it’s here”, here’s something I’ve noted while getting set up.

The “Desktop Icon Settings”, or “Desktop Items” (as known in XP) is still present in the system nearly unchanged. Thinking back (and it hurts) I’m fairly sure that windows 98 and 95 even had similar setups.

I’m referring to having a new interface for the control panel in a brand new OS, and yet when you click on to change desktop icons – look out a flashback of a really old interface hits you in the face.

Not upset or bitching about it, just thought it interesting enough to share.

Sunshine Coast Dust Storm

While it continues to worsen slightly, here’s some photos I took about an hour ago. Quite a strange occurrence for the coast here. In my 15 odd years of living here, I can’t ever recall a day where this has happened.

Appologise for the lack of an “internet”ish post. Been busy at present. Make sure you click on those images for a bigger view.

Cheers
