Yeah, BlogAmp used to be good. but with that kind of product you’re bound to be one up’d by someone. And hey, I’m not complaining! I have it set up to tell a php script I wrote what track i’m listening to, or last listened to, and it’s saved on the server, and then put on the sidebar there for your curiosity.
Vegas Coke Glass
Mufasa and MonkeyJay brought me a Coca-Cola Las Vegas glass. It’s weird, because it’s chrome at the top, and fades out down the glass to total transparent about 2/3s the way to the bottom. Couldn’t find a pic quickly. The glass is weird… but very very awesome. Cheers guys 🙂
My First Blog (sorta)
Here’s my first foray into blogging. Scary huh?
Risky Business
Broke in my Risk board with two games of Secret Mission Risk in the weekend. If you’ve never played Secret Mission before, you are missing out on playing risk more often.
First game was 5 players, SmileyChris, Jeremie, Bert, Joel(?), and myself. Joel won with the mission to Destroy Green… which was me. Damnit. My mission was Destroy Red (Bert), but I spread myself too thin. I need practice 🙂
Second game was the next night, Smiley, Jeremie, Gareth, Paul and myself. Gareth is a seasoned risk player, and completed his Destroy Blue mission, with SmileyChris manning the blue pieces. My mission was Take Asia and Africa. I started with three of the four countries in Australasia, and went on to hold most of asia for the rest of the game, not actually holding the continent at any point though. Also, I have never seen a Secret Mission game with more than 1 cannon on a country. I think on Gareth’s winning turn he cashed in his risk cards for a whopping 55+3 units. I had 4 cannons on one of my countries, Jeremie had maybe 5 or 6 in western europe, and Gareth had a huge army in the middle east, which was preventing me trying to take Africa. But I’m happy I held most of Asia for so long.
If you’re in Wellington sometime, give me an IM or something and we’ll organise a game sometime… 😀
Alternate Stylesheet
Heh, I’ve added an alternate stylesheet to my site. You’ll need Mozilla to view it – go View > Use Style. If you’re using IE, the glutnix chicken logo and the webfroot network button will be gifs, otherwise they will be 32bit alpha’d PNG files. The CSS controls the checkers and the background image, as well as the colours. Rather simple really. 🙂
UPDATE: Added a ‘toggle alternate stylesheet‘ link at the bottom of the side – click to switch to the alternate stylesheet for the rest of the session. Might switch to cookies instead of session though.
