First off: does anyone know what happened to that awsome fun genre of games known as the adventure game?

Second: does anyone care?

[Can you think Zork cross with modern engines and online play?]

Check out this News link...

I'd like to say 'I told you so', but the article can argue the point much better than I...

As of today, I have bumped the version number on the blog to 0.2.9 ... What this means is that we have a 'release' of sorts, that could be conceivably installed on any number of computers, serving a site that would look extremely similar to this blog.

Here is a brief run-down of features and their status for 0.3.0

I am supreme rules of the Cosmos. My closest servants call me Troy, but you can call me "Oh, He That Predestines Our Fate!"

Actually, scrap that, my ego couldn't handle the insult *grins*.

Anyway, on to the actual content of this post... As one or two of you *might* have noticed, there are some new-ish entries into the menu-bar on this page. Things such as 'Blog News' and 'Projects' and most recently 'CSS Themes'. There links go to another section of my page, with content that is specific to a certain audience.

Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of back-up tapes and high-way speed.

Hey, yo! Check out my new digs -- err theme.

I like it, and since that's all that counts, I'm keeping it.

Just FYI: themes support is in now... just see the CSS Themes link on my menu-bar. I'm thinking that I like the current theme, so I'll keep using it -- however, there are now at least 2 alternatives that you can use -- or you can write your own...

I'm going to seriously cheat with this entry... below are some ready to go CSS themes... Simply Copy and Paste them into your CSS Theme editor on your blog and Voila! Your blog has a brand new face on it!

Follow my logic here:

 
If your are a blog owner 
|   and you are tired of teal/lilac 
|   |   I can write a new colour scheme/layout theme for you for 
|   |   the price of one cup of restaraunt coffee *grins* 
|   otherwise, I will do nothing *grins* 
else: why don't you get yourself a blog, they're free *grins* 

So, what I'm saying is: if you are tired of the appearance of your blog, I can redo your layout for you, and all I ask in return is that you take me out for a cup of coffee :) Pretty cheap, no?

Alright, was helping Evan move today (along with Tom and Liz). The day started off oddly with my walmart interview as I mentioned before. It was boring, and un-eventful -- unlike the 7-11 experience described earlier.

Picked up Liz to head to Niverville -- we loaded it all up and between three vehicals, we required a single solitary trip. That was a relief of sorts, as it saved us at least 2 hours that
way...

My father rang my line as I was heading out to Niverville since he was there and a bit bored. He offerred to help, if we could use any help...
