The Darkest Evil

This is a list of all the software I purchased this year, whether it was for my MacBook Pro or for my Windows PC that I used to own.

Applications that I Purchased

• Acquisition - A file sharing app for the Macintosh platform.
• Adobe Creative Suite 2 - A set of cool Adobe applications. I usually only use Photoshop though.
• Apple Aperture - A cool photo editing and arranging app.
• Chroma - A media player that I bought. I shouldn’t have though, it wasn’t all that great.
• CSSEdit - A cool little CSS editing app.
• Delicious Library - A cool app that will allow you to scan in your books, DVDs and other media so you can index them and keep track of them. Uses your iSight to read the barcodes and pulls data from Amazon.ca.
• FlickrExport for iPhoto - It’s a pretty cool app that allows me to upload my photos to Flickr from my digital camera after they are imported into iPhoto.
• Keepsake - Come to think of it, I am not entirely sure what this game is about.
• Microsoft Office for Mac - We should all know what this is.
• Neverwinter Nights for Mac - Yes, this includes the two expansion packs as well. I had to get those so I could play NWN to it’s fullest.
• Neverwinter Nights 2 Chaotic Evil Edition - I hear it’s a pretty cool game. I hope I get to play it once Game.co.uk delivers my copy.
• Parallels - For those times when I need a test Linux environment
• Postal 2 - The ultra-violent offencive game from Running With Scissors.
• Spymac Club - A series of applications for people to connect to the SpyMac community.
• TextMate - A great text editor for the Mac.
• Transmit - A very nice FTP app.

Well, I’ve gotten back into Ragnarok Online. It’s a pretty cool game and you should check out the private server I am on over at http://www.q-ro.net/ . So that’s one more reason why I might not be as active of a blogger anymore. (more…)

I am so happy that one of my favourite discussion boards is going to be reopening to the public on Tuesday ^_^. I will make 100% sure to be the first to make a post on it when it reopens. So, Floris, mf and all the rest of you - watch out for my fastest fingers ^_~.

BlogMad is a great way to promote your own personal blog. I have seen an increase in unique traffic and I have also seen increases in comments and repeat user comments and I am really happy about that. Also, this system, unlike others, rewards people that actually surf by extending more power to those who have surfed more. For example, if you refer people, you can earn credits, but the more you surf, the more credits you get per person. I think that is truly fair. (more…)

Creative Commons and the Fedora Project have teamed up to promote open video by launching a contest. Join us for a chance to win a Fedora-branded Sony Camcorder

The Creative Commons and the Fedora Project have teamed up and I believe this is going to be very interesting. If you don’t believe me, look at how… interesting Firefox Flicks turned out.

(Oh and by the way, I blogged this using Flock so I can show a couple of the bugs. I will not fix this just yet)

Brad Daily’s blog is a true inspiration for those of us immigrating to Canada. Let’s give props to this great Quebecois guy!

Oh and to the Flock team: fix your damn blogging system! (more…)

Sorry about not blogging recently. I have to collect $2,000 by the 19th of June or I won’t be able to stay in the country. -_-

So, right now, I am doing as much designing, coding and forum management as possible to raise the money in a reasonable timeframe.

Anyways, I heard from a reliable source that the beta for Microsoft Office 2007 is now open (you can get it here) and Windows Longhorn Beta 2 is making its way to the public, so you should keep your eyes on these.

The new ICQ 5.1 has launched today and I’ll give you my opinion on it, after I try it out of course, as well as the new 2007 Microsoft Office. However, I am afraid that this version of ICQ will be no different from the most recent versions of ICQ (the ones with “Xtraz”). Essentially, with skinning of the ICQ Client gone (as ICQ Plus has been outsourced and only ICQ 2003a will run well with it), the ICQ client isn’t as customisable as we think it is.

I got around to watching a couple of those Ranma 1/2 tapes that I am selling on eBay (the listing can be found here) and it is surprisingly good. However, since they were VHS, they were dubbed and not subbed. And they were dubbed POORLY. The voices sound like they have no emotion what-so-ever. I’d bet the subbed would be a bit more lively, but then again, I have always preferred subbed over dubbed. But if you prefer dubbed over subbed, this is a great collection.

I looked on Amazon.ca for Ranma DVD box-sets but they were running at $110.00 a boxset on average (You can see the Amazon.ca listings here). WTF?! I wish I could afford this…

Okay, I think that’s about it. Have a great day!

To be honest, I never thought some people would go THIS far to keep me in the states.

I will state right now: I do not plan to leave my intent to move to Canada. No MySpace petition or anything that frivolous could stop me. The only thing in my way of becoming a Canadian is the CIC.

I would report it to the MySpace.com team but I find this too hilarious to report. I would like to see how far this person is willing to go along with their cherade. However, they did place a picture that makes fun of Stephen Harper and as such, I must contact the office of the Prime Minister.

Hey, if you haven’t seen mUnity yet, you most definitely should. It’s a great Pokemon Community and you can visit it at http://www.munity.org/ .

Sorry for the plug everyone, I’ll make a better post when I have more to say.  

Humm… What to Rant about… Good question…

I am about to go to work at the Corner Store and work until 2PM (5 hours of work), so I have decided to make this a quick rant.

6 minutes left to rant… lets see - Have you seen the splash page at kyletech.us? It’s really something alright! I plan to make a layout for the blog like that. (more…)
