Kilogames.com just released!
Just Released! My christmas project – kilogames.com. Kilogames is an arcade site with online games. I used PHPArcadeScript to build kilogames. PHPArcadeScript seems to be one of the best and most popular scripts for making an arcade site. Installing PHPArcadeScript was very easy and did not take more than 20 minutes.

Djangopedia passes the 200 django tunes mark!
Djangopedia started about 7 months ago indexing online resources related to the music of the famous jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt. Today, djangopedia got its 206th entry, and I’m pretty sure that this makes it the largest online resource for tunes recorded by Django Reinhardt.
It’s a 10-Dimensional World.. But Why not 11? or 12?
String Theory tells us we live in a 10 dimensional world. It’s easy to understand the first four dimensions, three for space and one for time. However, it gets progressively harder to conceptualise each dimension above. It’s tough enough to reach 10 and then why stop there?

King’s Quest 1 – Reviving the Past
King’s quest 1 has been one of my favourite games. It was released by Sierra in 1984 and became one of the most popular PC-based adventure games. I got a copy of it when I was 11 years old. I remember playing whilst holding an English to Greek dictionary for all the words that I didn’t know.
