High Moon!

Guys!

Ok, follow me. Please.

Look at the sky. Make sure you get a clear view of the sky. It's really open, and blue. There's the sun (don't look at it), and there's a... Moon?

Yes, it's high moon, guys! Meaning, the sun and the moon are both up. That's awesome, right???

Yes, it is. :P

Heheh.

So, anyway, just check it out, ok?

Trip to McDonalds

Hey, guys!

We decided to go to McDonalds to eat dinner (after wondering whether we should buy some fries or order dinner). I ate chicken with rice and fries. Ah, fast food can be good for the tongue at some days.

I wasn't able to take pictures, since I left my camera when we left so abruptly and my iPod was dead. And, anyway, mine's an old model with no camera. So it doesn't really matter.

We also checked out the pets and ate ice cream. It was tasty. I wanted to get some from Mr. Softy, but we decided on the shop nearer our way out to the fourth floor.

The babies, Chia and Enzo, came with. Mom and dad wanted to go to a restaurant with a play place, but decided not to when we couldn't find one anywhere near.

So, now we're home. Good night, an don't let the bed bugs bite! :)

The New Powershot, D20

Hey guys! I just found out about the new Powershot D20 (yeah, I'm slow)! It looks awesome, almost makes me regret the Nikon AW100... Almost.

So, it has a 5x zoom. That's awesome, but it's alike the competitors. Any unique features?

Ooh, waterproof to 10 meters (33 feet). Very similar to the AW100. :) It can withstand down to -10°C temperatures.

Shockproof to 5 feet... Drop height-well, depends on where you drop it to. If your looking down a cliff and drop your camera down below, I don't think it can survive that.

It has an "HS System", which is supposed to be designed to be able to take high quality, sharp images - even in dark situations! Sounds cool, but we never know...

It has 12.1 Megapixels (not so impressive, considering Nikon's 16 MP) and a CMOS sensor (is this good?). It has a 28-mm wide-angle lens. More is taken.

Check out it's page here: http://www.canon.co.uk/For_Home/Product_Finder/Cameras/Digital_Camera/PowerShot/PowerShot_D20/

Some other new cameras are the Fujifilm Finepix XP50, XP100, XP150, and the Pentax Optio WG-2 (love the red color).


Online Interactive Fiction Writing!

Wow! Finally, an online interactive fiction toolkit. It's called playfic, and you can access it at playfic.com.

It's actually Inform 7, but it's online. You don't get the same IDE as the Linux, Mac, or Windows. You don't get an IDE at all, it's just a text editor and a compiler. Too bad.... But it looks great!

(By the way, I'm using my iPod Touch in these pictures, my laptop's still unfixed)

To test your code, you have to click a button in the bottom that says "Save and Test".

Parchment should load. If it doesn't, there's probably an error (it loads well on mobiles).

You can then publish your interactive fiction (and compile it to .z8) by clicking Publish (if it successfully compiles).

Quest WebEditor is being made, too. Check out the blog post here.

Practice, Tomorrow

Hi, guys!

Here is a late night post! I haven't posted in days, and I've forgotten to tell you lots of stuff. I've also noticed you've stopped viewing my blog, whoever you are. Thank you for reading. :)

Anyway, some updates.

I watched the latest The Walking Dead, and it was awesome! Looks like the zombies are stirring up again, and they won't have the backup of the farm with them this time. I blame Shane, it isn't his farm.

Oh, and poor- wait a minute. Did you watch it? No? Well, I ain't going to tell you anything about it. Nope. Watch it yourself.

So, in this case, I will tell you about The Sims 3. I just stopped playing earlier (since it's nearing my bed time), and I had a small blast (meaning, not really a blast). I like the way you just walk around without pressing much stuff. Makes it easier for the Wii.

What I don't like is that I get lost easily. Since there is no map, I've got to walk pointlessly around, looking for my home. I go by, talk to people, and lose my way back. Unlike with The Sims 2, I can still find my way back by going into my car, or calling a Taxi, clicking my home in a 3D map, and leaving the place. Simple.

In The Sims 3, though, I've got to walk my way home. It's not that bad of a disadvantage (It probably is to those who are lazy. Hey, we're all lazy at a point.), but it's just weird that they didn't add a map for us. :(

The book I'm reading right now is the second book to the series, Pellinor. It's a really awesome book, but intermediate readers might not like it, with all the big words and the sort.

A new, awesome website for you guys to check out, which is guaranteed 99% (by me) to have no virus. Please note the 1%! ;)

But, seriously, check it out. :)
