A new game I’ve found recently is Soulxchange. The game itself is hard to describe without writing pages and pages so I’ll put it as it’s self described:
The game can loosely be described as a stock-market for souls. Here, you will put your soul up for sale. Each time you are purchased, you will receive a bit of income to help you with your primary mission - to become the wealthiest, most valuable soul. It will be simple enough to achieve this goal, as all you have to do is buy and sell other souls effectively.
The game is brilliant, this is a game that once I got into it I literally went, “Damn, why didn’t I think of making this”.
Soulxchange like many other text based online games claims to be free other than of course the buy-in of your immortal soul. This is the case, however as usual by “donating” you can get many other advantages such as being allowed two souls.
Overall I love the game, hence spreading the word! Easy to get into, not much time needed though if you have lots of time you sure can waste it! Everything you want for an all-round web based game!
If you decide to play give me a shout in-game, my name is “Sneo”. I’ll help you out!
Ok, it’s the sixth of June! It’s been four months since I’ve had internet and wow does the internet move fast, four months seems like over a year. I feel like I’ve missed so much! So today I’m going to try to get back into this, it’s going to be a slow start until I get a constant internet supply but at least it’s something! Here’s to summer blogging!
For those of you who like torrents or for those of you who are just interested in the website Demonoid and the technology behind it, I have five more invitation codes to give a way. First five genuine comments on this post get it! Interesting comments stand a better chance of not being a bot!
Already with 80 people registered CreativeCamp which takes place in Kilkenny on Saturday March 8th in the Parade tower at Kilkenny castle looks like its going to be another great camp held in Kilkenny. Podcamp which was held in the Ormonde hotel once again in Kilkenny turned out to be a brilliant event so you can expect the same from this one! You can sign up to register over here.
You can see all the talks over here, personally I’m looking forward to "The Art of Software Development" by Joe Drumgoole. Just because software development interests me but there is loads of talks on, for all tastes.
Either way check it out and I hope to see you there!
The website that sparked my thoughts on this is here. It’s a kinda Web 3.0 website, using this I have to admit I got hit by the immediate “this is quiet cool” thought, but after moving the Cow and trees around for a while I realised the whole thing is pointless. Which got me thinking into Web 3.0. With all the operating systems taking flashy over speed and everything just increasing in better design over usability will Web 3.0 be more usable than Web 2.0 or will it just be flashier? Do we really need the Internet having more pointless flash? I’d really like to see some other Web 3.0 proposals!
The founder and CEO of Netflix Reed Hastings said:
Web 1.0 was dial-up, 50K average bandwidth, Web 2.0 is an average 1 megabit of bandwidth and Web 3.0 will be 10 megabits of bandwidth all the time, which will be the full video Web, and that will feel like Web 3.0.
Going by that comment the answer to my question would be that the internet is going to take flashier over usability.
Eric Schmidt, CEO of Google has the answer I’m hoping web 3.0 to be:
Web 2.0 is a marketing term, and I think you’ve just invented Web 3.0.
But if I were to guess what Web 3.0 is, I would tell you that it’s a different way of building applications… My prediction would be that Web 3.0 will ultimately be seen as applications which are pieced together. There are a number of characteristics: the applications are relatively small, the data is in the cloud, the applications can run on any device, PC or mobile phone, the applications are very fast and they’re very customizable. Furthermore, the applications are distributed virally: literally by social networks, by email. You won’t go to the store and purchase them… That’s a very different application model than we’ve ever seen in computing.
Anyone got any thoughts on what they think Web 3.0 will be like, or even when?
Personally if I think if Ubuntu had some more amazing themes like this the change to linux would be quiet fast. Like just look at why people upgraded to Vista, no other reason than: "Oooh.. shiny!". But if ubuntu had this it’d be like "oooh shiny and secure". Imagine the possibilities! Then again also imagine the amount of errors!
I found a pretty cool tool today, Whoishostingthis.com so I thought what the hell, with all the hosts in Ireland being complained about lets see who uses who!
Twittershare offers Twitter users a web interface and a OS X dashboard widget with drag and drop capabilities to combine the typical SMS-style messages with individual file uploads. Uploaded files are hosted at Phoreo.com and links to these files are then posted on Twitter. The maximum file size is ten megabytes.
These guys gave Pownce a try but didn’t like it so made this handy program for twitter. Nice or what?
I’ve been interested in making a game for a while, eventually made a text based online game and then got rid of it, but my next project will be graphic based, and the Game Programming wiki will help me!
Digg it!
