July 2003

Summer, it sucks nothing to do 🙁 well actually there is but I don’t feel like doing it (call me lazy). So I have been spending my time playing games (currently Tomb Raider using Glidos and VDMSound, for more info check out VOGONS) instead of doing something useful like coding.
So you see there’s nothing new happening, except maybe MTV Portugal witch is nice finally they remembered we exist 🙂 on the good side the Israeli (I think) commercials are gone and it’s good to hear some tunes from the guys around here (Cebola get in you thick skull that Portuguese music doesn’t suck anymore, there are great band out there now) but on the flip side Jackass, Andy Dicks and others are gone :'( and the voice for the Portuguese promos seem to be made by a girl that could be getting stabbed on the back and still sound bored??
Any way nothing new so don’t expect many updates, till next time…

I must say I’m having a hard time find out a way to write this properly, it sure sucks being a lousy writer at these times. Well all I wanted to mention was the depth that some forms of entertainment reach. Some of them create entire universes to accommodate their stories some good examples are The Matrix (movie), Legacy of Kain (game series), Babylon 5 (TV show) etc.

There are of course the original products, but that is not all some of these universes are expanded or better explained in other places there are communities built around it that in many cases adds too the richness of that universe.

So I suggest that you dive in to the WWW and see if there’s more to your favorite Universe, here are some links that I found in my dive 🙂

• Comics based on the Matrix Universe;
• Website dedicated to the world of Nosgoth from Legacy of Kain games;
• All about Babylon 5 episodes;
• and much more.

Well I just wanted to clarify some things about why this blog exists. Some of you may remember the website that once occupied this address, it was meant to be the home of a group of friend that wanted to share their projects with the world (wide web). That failed, I was alone in such wishes so I gave up and killed the website. But MAD Alien ad been special to me in so many ways, mostly because it was one of the few things I didn’t gave up after a wile (madalien is 3 years old) so I decided to continue it but in a different form and a blog just seemed right, it was already something I had tried with the Temple (a madalien section). So I guess that covers the why now what will I talk about in here? Everything really, I’ll use this blog like a doorway to share my points of view, my ideas and even my small software projects (if I ever release any). I hope it will be interesting to some one out there and if not at least I tried 😛

Sincerely, DragonSoull.

Pretty incredible what you can do with only CSS. If your making a website and don’t know anything about CSS I suggest you take the time to learn it.
Here are some links to help you:

• W3C Schools;
• CSS Layout Techniques;
• mezzoblue.

Boy, that prince Charles really knows how to live! I wish I could use every body else’s money at my will for what ever I wanted. Isn’t it nice to be royalty :).
