http://www.leiseus.net/journal Douggie's Page of Stuff Mon, 26 May 2008 18:09:22 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en I didn't post for quite a while, but I'm back. I was sort of discouraged by the amount of visitors and was thinking of a good way to attract visitors. I was planning to do a bunch of articles and tutorials, instead of doing this kind of "recycling culture". Essentially ... http://www.leiseus.net/journal/?p=56 I accidentally stumbled upon this blog called The FAIL Blog. It has all kinds of funny images with stuff that is not supposed to be happening, like the following image: Yeah, this blog does not fail to entertain you! But you should check the comments on whether it's Photoshopped or not... ... http://www.leiseus.net/journal/?p=55 Some friend of mine showed me this wierd site today: Will It Blend is such a wierd site, where they try to put stuff into a blender - and I don't mean food - and try to see whether the blender can takes it or not. Things like a baseball, iPhone ... http://www.leiseus.net/journal/?p=54 ZOMG! best. game. ever. Graphics don't mean shit. Doug http://www.leiseus.net/journal/?p=53 On LifeHacker there was a link to a Bar Tricks page at Wired, which brought me to their wiki when searching further. It's called the Wired How-To Wiki and there are some strange stuff in it, which is actually useful to know, like cheating on a drug test (I just hope ... http://www.leiseus.net/journal/?p=52 For those who don't know yet, Kings of Power 4 Billion has just arrived. Kings of Power 4 Billion is a short animated movie by Paul Robertson, which is part of Mechafutus (or at least posts entries in that awesome VISUBLOG). He is an artists who draws pixelart in 16-bit ... http://www.leiseus.net/journal/?p=51 For those who look foor their little place on the web for free, here's a good hosting company - or at leat I heard so from friends. Sorry I don't have direct experience with it, but I heard the service is good and you get some hosting elements which are ... http://www.leiseus.net/journal/?p=50 I heard of bootleg DVDs and CDs, fake watches and parfumes, but I never knew that a market existed for fake headphones. I found this little page at HeadphoneDeals.com, that explains some characteristics of fake headphones. It's quite useful if you're an eBay-user, because it seems that that's the ... http://www.leiseus.net/journal/?p=49 I like comedians who can sing like other artists, which is especially funny if you know them. Just for Laughs Vol. 2 had one comedian who did a funny act - I only forget his name! (will look it up later though) But here's something in the meantime, another YouTube-movie: Have ... http://www.leiseus.net/journal/?p=48 From LifeHacker I found the following movie. It's a serious video wrapped in a not-so-serious-packaging, mimmicking the DIY-slash-TellSell programs. Pretty fun stuff and cool too.. So how cool is this? Well, if you got some interesting books that and of course some empty spots to fill on your walls. It would ... http://www.leiseus.net/journal/?p=47 For those who don't know Line Rider, it's pretty cool. It's the latest Internet phenomenom since 2006 and it's probably one of the most fun things I've done lately. Okay, maybe not.. I have not used the Line Rider program at all, nor did I read the Wikipedia-entry. But as fas as ... http://www.leiseus.net/journal/?p=46 I just found one of the handiest programs for Windows. Yes, it's true - and incidentally Windows-only (sorry Mac-users!). Do you recognize this window? Well, a program called Unlocker searches for the programs that currently are "using" that file you want to move/delete/overwrite/whatever when you right-click on that file and choose ... http://www.leiseus.net/journal/?p=45 So the GDEC-chord combination got me searching through the Internet, trying to find some theories about that. I stumbled across this Stand-up comedian who talks about Pachelbel's Canon in D and all the songs that uses the same chords! Using that chord combination is of course an instant win, as everybody ... http://www.leiseus.net/journal/?p=44 I've been into indie folk lately and have been discovering some good artists. It's just too bad that these are artists with hard-to-get-albums, making me go to their sites to check out their music - which is what I quite often do at work when listening to music. One of these ... http://www.leiseus.net/journal/?p=43 I couldn't find anything in the first few Google-hits and am too lazy right now to find more info about it, but there's no doubt that this is a fake trailer. I love the VHS-effects though - I really need that filter! DougTags: trailer, movies http://www.leiseus.net/journal/?p=42 I had a talk with a friend a few days ago about (hiphop) beat production. Nowadays there are a lot of people who can make beats (or other music as well, but I'm talking about beats because they're short segments which are looped over and over) - or at least ... http://www.leiseus.net/journal/?p=41 I've been really busy the past two weeks due to some assignment I had to finish, so that one person who's following my blog (you know who you are!), sorry there were no updates for so long. I'll update daily again from now - or at least try to. There ... http://www.leiseus.net/journal/?p=40 Twitter is a relatively new (one-and-a-half-year) social networking site used for micro-blogging. It's essentially SMS text-messaging to the world (wide web), meaning that your posts cannot use more than 160 characters. It's pretty cool for people who want to let the world know what they're doing: it's easy to update your ... http://www.leiseus.net/journal/?p=39 For those who don't know abandonware, they're basically games that are not owned or copyrighted anymore. These are mostly games from the old PC era and games from consoles that have obsolete technologies. It's a bit of a grey area, but sites like Abandonia or Home of the Underdogs offer ... http://www.leiseus.net/journal/?p=38 Yeah! Nuff' said..
