Counterattack!

So, in reply to Zagoraths scathing arguments against Firefox and for Chrome, it appears I will have to make an effort and build a solid, reliable argument for FF. [And this time, I'll check my facts...] Continue reading ‘Counterattack!’

Why Firefox IS better

This is a list of reasons why Firefox is better than Chrome. I would do reasons for why it’s better than IE, but thats not really needed. Anything beats IE.

I’m doing this to prove a point to a friend, who is a die-hard Chrome fan. Oh, and I likez Firefox.

Bard Bot

I’ve been playing around on Wave a bit recently, and found this cool bot called Bard Bot. It lets you play text-based RPG games thought Google Wave, thought simple blips such as /north /south /look etc. There are about 20 games already available for it, but no description of the games that you can choose – although one is The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy :D (I’m a massive fan of that book!)

I think this is one of the coolest things I’ve seen on Wave, apart from the Declaration Of Independence Waves. What I’d like to see is using it for a group play – e.g people taking it in turns to make the character take an action (There’s no multiplayer feature yet).

This is a really good example of stuff that can be done with Wave, especially bots and gadgets. Maybe you could use the voting gadget with this to decide what to do next?

Borntyping

Welcome to my blog. I am Samuel, a.k.a Ziaix. I am a:
cynical teenager I'm overly cynical about a lot of things, especially government.
imaginative reader I read a huge amount, mainly sci-fi, fantasy and superhero comics.
computer geek I love computers, and am pretty good, (but not fantastic) at many diffrent computery things.

This blog is meant to be a tech/science/gaming blog, a bit like Shaken_Earth's, with the kind of articles you get at The Teen Geek, but that went out the window after a few posts. It still has a bit of that, I just spend a lot of time off topic. And maybe rambling about random stuff, a bit like Emor does ;)
