If you're a fan of iLike you'll like to let everyone who's on iLike to know what you're currently listening to. I've made a little script that does just that - but for your own personal website. You can see an example of this on my front page.

It's 150px wide and shows what your last listen was and the three previous ones before that.

Let's get to it..

Replace username with your iLike username and place that script anywhere on your page where you want to display it.

Comments and suggestions please!

2nd year.. gone.

Mon, 11 Aug 2008 02:36:09 GMT

It's been a while since I posted anything relevant, interesting, or.. well.. anything. It's been over two years now since this blog started and how far have I come! Seesh! Let me give you a little life update. What's going on and where I'm hopefully headed.

I'm 19 years old as I write this, but soon turning 20 years old on the 22nd of August. The 'about' page on this blog is way out of date. I'm no longer in University and I don't intend on going back to study for any other degree. Why? you might ask? - I intended to get a degree in Computer Games Programming, but early on switched on to Internet Computing. I never finished the first year and found a job working for a company as a Web Developer. Six months into the job, I decided I wanted to go back to University and do something completely different to computers; Marketing Management. The first year completed, I did enjoy it but missed computers, design and development.

That brings me to today. I'm now a freelance web design and developer (under Neoboffin Designs) currently working for loyaltyMATTERS and various other clients. I'm moving to London in October to persue my ambitions down south. I can't help but be excited!

This blog layout is two years old. It's time for a change. A serious change. This blog is also my own scripting and I'm thinking of joining the 'Internet Gang' and installing WordPress.

Well, I'll update here once I'm in London or post any useless junk beforehand.

The Mist: Totally fucked up

Fri, 18 Jul 2008 21:31:20 GMT

The Mist. A book originally written by Stephen King turned big screen. Ever seen the trailer? (read more to view it) It looks fantastic.

When you start watching the movie it starts great. You get the plot.. small town, "natural desaster" and neighbour feuds. Even when the mist comes and 'takes' a life (be it in an unatural way) it's still great. Then, it falls downhill when you catch a glimpse (about 10 minutes of screen time actually) of what's in the mist. You still can bare to watch it and when you hit the ending.. all hell breaks loose and you want to do what the main character did to his new friends (read more to watch the ending spoiler), to yourself.
