Top 5 games to look foward to in 2009

So we’re already at the end of the first quarter of 2009 and things haven’t been so great on the economic front. However, for you chip-heads out there who love their videogames and can’t wait to get your hands on something new to play, there is good news. There are quite a few video games that will be releasing in 2009 and I’m going to list the top 5 games that I am looking forward to. These are games that I’ve been waiting for since the day they were announced. In fact, I’ve already started saving up to actually go…

FeedDemon 3

There are quite a few RSS readers out there and after taking a look at a few of them I stumbled upon FeedDemon. To be more specific FeedDemon 3, which is currently in it’s beta state and is available for download here. For those who have never used FeedDemon, it is a really neat and clean RSS reader that makes keeping track of and reading your feeds extremely easy. You can download your feeds and browse them even when you’re offline and it even includes a panic button incase you’ve overshot your unread feeds limit (which can be set), which…

Dell’s Adamo – The World’s slimmest Laptop

Right, I’m not normally a Laptop person, mainly because I like my keyboards big and comfortable. But one can’t go on with life without saying something about Dell’s new Adamo. Claimed to be the World’s slimmest laptop, this really is the cool new laptop-kid on the block. I’m not saying it’s as important as shooting a monkey into space, but it’s pretty cool. At least as far as I’m concerned, this is one sweet looking laptop with all the basic gadgetry you’ll need to go about being your double O self. At .65 inches when closed it truly is quite…

My Top 5 reasons why you should upgrade from IE6

Let me start out by saying that I have nothing personal against Internet Explorer 6. I just feel that it’s time everyone moved on and upgraded either to a more upto date version of Internet Explorer or moved onto a better browser (in my opinion), FireFox. So here are my top 5 reasons as to why you should upgrade from IE6. It’s a nightmare for developers and designers to code for IE6. This is my top reason because I have bent over backwards to try and code for IE6′s quirks and issues. So much so that I really have had…

Long Exposure / Light Painting – Canon Rebel Xti

I know it’s a little late to be talking about the Rebel Xti. It’s been around for as long as Moses has and almost everyone’s already done a review. But the main reason for this article is basically to show you how you can do stuff like this with the Rebel Xti. (This Photo courtesy Abduzeedo – Photograph by Christopher Hibbert) Light Painting is basically the art of taking long exposure shots to get the desired effect. It’s basically as simple as putting your camera in one place, giving it’s shutter a manual timer and then just standing back to…

World of Warcarft – Patch 3.1

For those who don’t know what I’m talking about, please try to think of any of your friends who play computer games and ask them what World of Warcraft is. Once you’ve done that, plese go out and get yourself a copy of World of Warcraft with both the expansion packs, The Burning Crusade and Wrath of the Lich King. World of Warcraft (referred to as WOW from now on…) has to be one of the most popular games ever to be seen by mankind. It’s so popular that even in times of Economic Recession, Blizzard (makers of WOW) managed…

WordPress Pagination!

We’re back with another dose on how to make your WordPress installation even better. I bet that you’ve, at some point at least, noticed that your default WordPress theme has links only to the Previous or Next post page. While this is fine and makes for a simple browsing experience, there are times, especially if you’re an extremely large site like Smashing Magazine or PSDTUTS, where it makes more sense to have a proper pagination, instead of just simple links. We’ve got the perfect plugin for you! WP-PageNavi is a really neat plugin that allows you to create a simple…

WordPress Resources!

Yep, we’re back again with another post on WordPress. As far as any blogging platform or CMS is concerned, WordPress has the largest community to back it up. And if there’s one thing that this community has done, is that it’s allowed WordPress to be more than just a blog. Anyone who’s used WordPress will bear testimony to the fact that it is by far one of the most powerful Content Management Systems out there and can be made to do almost anything from running a small blog to a large website. Here are a few examples of large sites…
