Good bye! Good Riddance… Oh hello there you caught me unawares. Well really I’m writing this article on the G1 Android Phone, and the reason I’m saying good bye is because I sent off my really really sh*tty Nokia N96 off in the post to envirophone. I hated that phone so so much! Anyway, let me explain the story of how me and my dream phone were united…
In the beginning...

This was something that had been bugging me for a few days.
I Had a SWF that had to load a config.txt file when it loaded, this used a relative link (eg “config.txt”). That all works fine testing in the Flash IDE, but as soon as i embeded it into a HTML doc my relative links broke. Instead they were relative from my HTML file, rather than the actual SWF file!
“Bugger” i...

Yes, bow down to me, though not too far as most people sit on chairs to view their computer screens, so if you bow down, you won’t be able to see it, get up! I suppose I’m asking to you to do this because I’m a self confessed genius. I guess this game to me when looking at this website, Wuup… How can I get to know my visitors? Easily, use everyone elses ‘forms’...

Overall, I love Crysis, its a brilliant game, however its FAR from perfect. The game comes with a great story, brilliant graphics, great physics, great characters. But still, theres plenty which does suck.
The reason I thought I’d write about this, is simply as we’ve recently had the release of Crysis Warhead – and yup I’ve got it & completed it. I would love for that...

I sat here thinking in how I can bore you today, so I suddenly thought of what tools I use everyday for web design and development, and I thought anyone aspiring to make the leap to web design might need to know what they practically need. The tools are generally expensive, but will last you a good few years, but hopefully it’s a worthy investment.
So lets see, what do you need?
Well you...

It’s already become renowned for its seamless blend of an edgy, jumpy horror and inventive and unique first person shooting experience. Regardless of your taste in games, chances are you’ve been within earshot of someone singing the praises of Bioshock, and maybe they’re preaching some real gospel.
2K’s latest creation is a Frankenstein of a game. On the surface, you’re presented with...

As a university student, I try not to let my studies slip away as I while away the summer in a tent somewhere with a frosty cider in hand.
This year’s break from studying was about getting known about the county for future job prospects.
I feel that not enough students are eager to look so far into the future as to where life will inevitably dump them. As soon as the three year holiday...

When the worlds of SEO and flash collide, web designers cringe at the thought of developing the two together. The reason? Search engines cannot understand what is essentially an image. If a site welcomed you saying ”click here to view the gallery”, Google & other search engines wouldn’t flinch. They’re dumb robots, after all.
To draw up a solution, let’s...
