I just had to write about this game. It is so damn good !

What it is ? Well its alpha for now but it is aspiring to be sandbox strategy in space where
you build your fleet, and battle others, upgrade your ships etc…

Its definitively worth checking out and if you can, buy it now and support
its development, its still in alpha and cost is almost nothing ( 10$ ) and
you can run it on Mac, Win and also Linux, how cool is that.

Maybe video by TB could help persuade you more

So check it out, I do love the game ! http://fractalsoftworks.com

I have a task ahead of me, to build in house Android application for place where I work. I have background in PHP, Python and Delphi coding but knowing next to nothing about Java and how to code in it, I start looking on the web if there is another way to go about it.

Than I found LiveCode from runrev which looks great ! being able to code in English sentence like structure sounds very promising and possibility to compile it to almost any platform as well.

Borrowing text from Wikipedia as I could not have say it better:

LiveCode allows developers to create applications that run in any of the supported environments, using a compile-free workflow. Developers can reuse the same code across multiple devices and platforms from a single code base. LiveCode uses a high level, English-like programming language that is dynamically typed. The high-level programming language and compile-free workflow allow for code that is self-documenting and easy for casual programmers to comprehend.

The most telling is this video about building app in 3hours:

Video with some features:

I’m preparing, hopefully with little help from runrev, couple tutorials, building simple app from beginning to end in Slovak language on our media page TeleMele.tv hopefully bringing app development to Slovak/Czech programmers who can’t get past Java complicated structure.

Give LiveCode a chance and visit:http://www.runrev.com/

There are other alternatives to Skype popping up all the time– Voip and such. Even Gmail is now developing its own calling system. This is great for people who need to make long distance calls regularly. Even local calls might be cheaper on such a service. However, if you don’t have a smart phone that has constant access to internet you are better off using www.o2.co.uk or a local equivalent. That way you don’t need to worry about your internet connection and lines breaking up when you’re on the move. Check out which mobile phone provider has the best deals in your city. When you’re at home in front of your laptop, you can rely on Skype or something similar.

If you have tried another service and think it’s great, write in and tell us about it! There are so many new companies challenging each other in online communications it’s sometimes hard to keep up with all of them. Jot down a review of your experience and send it in! Companies that cut costs for clients yet remain reliable and efficient deserve to be talked about! Thanks for visiting this blog and please feel free to get in touch with your feedback, questions and comments!

Wohoo steam fucked us again… bought the game, downloaded and wanted to play the next day and what I get ?

Steam – Error: This game is currently unavailable. Please try again at another time.

What The Fuck ! ? ! is this online World of Warcraft that it have servers offline or somebody please explain me why this doesn’t work… First Skyrim is not available on Steam for half of Europe, luckily there is way around that, and now this  ?

And I’m not by far the only one with this problem. I urge you all, submit ticket to Steam and claim refund. Steam is going down the toilet lately.

Very pissed and disappointed,

Got Geforce GTX 550 Ti with 1GB memory quite cheaply from shop, and now Skyrim is running on completely highest setting 1920×1080.

So you don’t need the highest and most expensive card, this one will do just fine.

Got me some enchanted weapons and could not charge them, also had some soul stones but no souls.

Apparently you need to get first spell  ’soul trap’ from a magic vendor (possible to get from mages also ) and cast it on a enemy before you kill it, this should fill empty soul gem/stone for you.

Note: only one soul per stone.

Seems like there is bug in Skyrim, right after one hour of play I noticed I have arrow stuck in my head that wont go away LOL

I mean ok its half realistic that it doesn’t disappear but I would be also dead !

Anyway here is how to solve it:

1, press ~  to get to console

2, type: sexchange ( this will switch your sex ( in game only, sorry ) )

3, type it again to get back to your original state and arrow is gone

Enjoy the game

So just a couple days and Skyrim is here… I’m looking forward to play it than when my friends start to call me that it is availible on Steam for pre-download, I was rushing to get it.

BUT no Skyrim in my Steam, search didn’t find it… what the fuck ?

As it turns out, it is pretty much unavailable from Czech Rep. to the right on the map, why ? I do not know and I don’t care anymore…

Fuck Steam use direct2drive is my new policy.

For everyone who can’t pre-load it over Steam go here:

http://www.direct2drive.co.uk and buy it from there, I’m downloading my coppy right now.

Thanks a lot for new iOS 5 for my iPhone 4, now to the point how do I remove newsstand apps ( or at least hide that crap app that I didn’t want in my phone, I can’t even hide it in Utilities )

Another thing as I used to live in UK and used UK iTunes store ( which was great ) I moved back to Slovakia it switched me to Slovak half baked unusable iTunes store ( honestly if you can’t do it right don’t do it at all ) now I have 5 apps flashing red as un-updated in iTunes and in phone but can’t do shit about it as they were bought in UK store. When I try to update it tells me that I don’t have updates but they are there in phone they at least shows but I can’t click on them.

Mind you I already paid for the apps so the updates should be free and I don’t care how you do it or where I’m located.

I know you will be having good laugh about this support ticket, I work in support too and I know you will not do anything about it… but maybe when messages likes this gets more and more something will change in next 20 years…

My next steps will be find how to downgrade to cracked iOS as this went long enough ( and don’t let me started on tracking information send to Apple + my voice as stated in service agreement after install )

Take care and good luck in next release.
<name here>

I found that it no longer only send your location, speed of traveling and direction to apple but also your voice… well all is left to shit in envelope and send it over so they can clone me.
