Demo review, Trillian, etc.

I finally reviewed a demo again!!! Snake said I should add some content to the site instead of going around fixing code like I have been. So, I reviewed Die Hard: Nakatomi Plaza… I’m not gonna bother showing the screens here, see for urself.

Also site-related, we’ve finally finished… uh, fixing code… and so, we’re almost ready to make our next column(s)! :) Snake had the idea to make another Best of Gaming, so expect to see that soon. We also may make a column w/ help of Quelog about our common GF2 upgrades.

Yesterday and today, I rearranged my room’s PC/TV corner… got printer-TV-DVD-VCR-Satellite cart on the left, eating tray behind it, trashcan under it, joysticks dangling on tray, and PC in front and to the right 8) . I think that beats the recent room upgrade Snake made.

The rest of my news comes from things I learned about on TechTV today. First, they were talking about a program that combines IM apps into one, but for the MAC… so then I learned about Trillian. U’ve probably heard about it, but it’s a very nicely made program (got 93% user satisfaction @ download.com) that does MSN/AIM/ICQ/IRC/Yahoo into one. It takes about 2 hours to completely set up though. Also, I can’t use it for AIM, because those fags at AOL are in some battle w/ Trillian to keep users off through it. This SS is using the Odigo III user-made skin, from their site. I had to resize my buddy list window a LOT to get this SS to fit w/out needing a bigger pic:

Finally, I found this from going off of something else TechTV said: they were doing a caller’s help thing about how to make ur Control Panel cascade on ur start menu (like llamas like Snake like to do), and they gave a link to annoyances.org, a site that tells you how to fix a collection of Windows things like that. I found one that lets you change the text and icon of ur start menu button! 😛 Since I hardly ever the start menu anyway (I use TopLaunch), I named my button something stupid. Here it is:


Oh, and be careful doing this.

Happy Presidents’ Day… or something.
