May 2004 - Posts

So far I have 2 issues with .Text

1) I do not have the cool calendar control as I did with dasBlog. I really liked the calendar control. (If it's hidden somewhere, please let me know)

2) The time of my posts seems all wrong. In dasBlog the time was (a) correct and (b) said the timezone of the actual time entry. If someone could tell me how to correct the time in .Text it would be greatly appreciated

I downloaded the demo of PainKiller the other day and I must say I was hooked.

PainKiller is a first person shooter, but with a twist. Your mission to shoot all kinds of evil things (zombies, vampires etc) and collect their souls. Not only does collecting their souls increase your health, but should you collect 50 souls, you temprarily change into an uber killing machine. The reason I was immediately hooked was because of the first weapon I had my hands on. It seems to work almost like a crossbow, but instead of shooting arrows, it shoots wooden stakes. I just loved the sight and sound of shooting a stake into a baddie. And even if you miss the bad guy, the stake sticks into the wall or whatever was behind the bad guy and looks very impressive.

The monsters themselves are also different and very entertaining. I battled quite a bit in one stage where the enemies looked like big fat marshmallow men (except they weren't white and very dirty) because I did not know how to kill them. It took me a few tries and in the end I managed. Even not being able to kill them was fun especially the fact that I had to run like hell to avoid beign killed myself :).

I really recommend giving the demo a go. It can be downloaded here

Ok, so I've changed hosting providers and blog engines. In software development you usually don't change two things at once, but I'm feeling brave.

Once again I'm first trying the Newsgator plugin to see if I can post to my blog
