Life Burner

Whether it’s those little Twitter birds, social media or website icons, we all love and need them from time to time. Over the past several months many other blogs have compiled their list of website, social media, Twitter and other icons, so in case you missed them here is the motherload collection!

View list by going to the design cubicle. . .

before i have even have a chance to test out “how to store/load wii games via USB HDD” the guy that wrote the article has already created a new, up to date version for the 4.0 menu upgrade that came out recently for the Wii, here’s the New updated guite with links to all you need.

There seems to be a lot of steps, and would probably need to be done on a rainy day, with plenty of coffee!

I assume, once this delicate tutorial has been completed, one could easily download game backups elsewhere, and run them straight from the external HDD without having to burn it to DVD..

With all this new technology appearing, especially in the gaming world, i keep getting random ideas for real world interaction with games, imagine using an electric shock/ruble body suit to interact with online FPS games, such as Team Fortress 2, or Counter-strike: source. These valve games already have pretty advanced stat systems, picking up head shots, arm shots, what angle they came from etc, when they happen and put this data into pretty graphs and 3d torso’s.

What would be cool is if this data was taken live and inputted into your electric shock suit!

Boom headshoot! would seem a lot more realistic!

The game that made our life complete as kids, i remember sitting there playing this on my black and white brick sized game-boy, oh the good old days.

25 amazing years of Tetris, and the millions of variations was created by Alexey Pajitnov, a computer engineer who was working for the Computing Centre of the Soviet Academy of Sciences.

It has sold over 70 million copies, and was first available on the IBM computer, but didn’t become worldwide until it hit the game-boy in 1989 (shown left).

Bring on the future of Gaming, Home Media and computing, and welcome Project Natal, announced at E3 by Microsoft, as a competitor for the Wii, although with a couple of massive upgrades.

Instead of sensing controllers, it uses two camera’s and sits underneath your TV, just like the WII sensor bar, But without controllers, and adding camera’s, 3D Motion Detection Voice recognition and face recognition! project natal is on a completely new level.

Read on for some videos of project natal in action.

There are multiple reasons that you might want to install a fully working web-server inside windows, the reason that I started off using stand-alone servers was for website development, if your a fully fledged website developer, designer or want to learn how to create dynamic websites these tools will make life so much easier! Cutting development time down.

I have tested many many stand-alone server packages out there and the best by far is XAMPP which runs on Windows 98, NT, 2000, 2003, XP and Vista and includes;

Apache, MySQL, PHP + PEAR, Perl, mod_php, mod_perl, mod_ssl, OpenSSL, phpMyAdmin, Webalizer, Mercury Mail Transport System for Win32 and NetWare Systems v3.32, Ming, JpGraph, FileZilla FTP Server, mcrypt, eAccelerator, SQLite, and WEB-DAV + mod_auth_mysql.

Now lets get an understanding of those tools included…

So i came across this while surfing digg, and its an amazing list, i though it would end up being one of those posts, with countless crappy scripts, but the heavens opened, with some really useful tools listed here that i had never heard of!

Now, there are many ways to freeing up space on your hard drive, and this is just a bunch of method’s combined work well, Best with Microsoft Os’s is to use the built in software first, then finish the job with some free 3rd party apps, im gonna focus this on four applications, get a cuppa and lets begin!

I recently covered how vista’s shrink hard drive volume is crap (resizing partitions on hard drives), I had about 30GB free on my hard drive and it was only letting me shrink up to 75MB, I kinda fixed this by defragging my computer, it took about 9 hours, but then again i haven’t don’t this, ever? 
One thing i wasn’t expecting from defragging, was it to clean up disk space, and somehow 30GB managed to appear from nowhere, i was amazed!

So Here we go, first we want to go through manually, and delete all the old rubbish that we have accumulated over the years, old music we don’t listen to, old trailers to moves, old pod-casts on Itunes, un-installing games we haven’t played in years, also if you have steam you can un-install a game, and re-install it at any time on any PC, if you play online games, Like Counter-strike: source, you download gigabytes of maps, music, skins and extras, you can clean this up (steam games only) with steam cleaner.
While your at it, Organize your documents, put things into folders, and backup things you really need, and would be gutted if you lost, pictures, documents, creative pieces etc etc. 

Steps, Programmes and Downloads after the jump.
