Hello From Winnipeg!

June 19th, 2009

Hello everyone from Winnipeg!

The bike trip is going great, we are currently on our 6th day overall, and our second day in Manitoba’s capital.  Since we’re staying here for two days, we decided last night that we would sleep in this morning.  Being more of an early bird than my two other traveling buddies, I’m taking advantage of the situation to write a post :D .

So, if you havn’t already, I’d invite you to read Vikas’ Journal Entries, which you can find using the links below:

Also, before I left I uploaded to youtube a video we did when we were in high school.  The 45 minute movie, entitled “La Science et vous - La Sécurité en laboratoire”, was our attempt at creating a 70s-style, satirical movie about laboratory security while in high school.  The video is in french, and is chopped up into 5 parts (since youtube doesn’t allow for videos longer than 10 minutes).  You can find each of the vids below:

3 Macas and a Reject present: Down With The Sickness

June 10th, 2009

Here it is, finally, after hours of editing, rendering, re-editing, re-rendering, re-re-editing, re-re-rendering (you get the idea…), I am happy to present to you our first Rock Band music video! This vid features Down With The Sickness by Disturbed and contains clips from our live performance at the AMPed competition at Ottawa U.

WARNING: The video does contain the original version of the song, which may not be suitable to some. I did my best to find a way to mute the lyrics and add our own, but unfortunately this always greatly reduced the audio quality.

Click on the Play icon below to play. The file is roughly 33MB, so give it a little time if you don’t have highspeed.

For more information on our RockBand band, visit the 3 Macas and a Reject Blog!

War of the Soulhers - Vikas’ Journal

June 7th, 2009

Tonight will be the last DnD night we will have until July, as I will be on vacation for much of the month of June.

I’ve therefore prepared some posts that will auto publish themselves, which should keep the site fresh with new content while I am gone. By the time I come back, you will have access to the entire contents of Vikas’ Journal, as it was found on his desk in that small, underground office. Today we begin with the first page in Vikas’ journal, which was surprisingly not written by Vikas at all.

Also, since we are dealing with a journal, and therefore dates, I’ve prepared a page that explains how dates work in Aethoros.  This page is also accessible from the War of the Soulhers page, and I encourage you to read up on it when you get the chance.

Having Fun With Avatars

June 5th, 2009

You may have noticed some funny looking smileys by your comments lately, and I’ll admit that I’m responsible for their appearance…

I was pretty much tired of seeing the Gravatar logo appear besides all comments but my own, so I had a look at what Gravatar could do.  Turns out that it can generate a unique looking avatar for users based on their email address, so I figured we’d try this for a while to see how it goes.

Note that, if you don’t like the smiley face generated for you, you can set your own gravatar by creating an account on the Gravatar Website and uploading your own picture.  Be sure to use the same email address you’ve used to register with Folaji.com for you gravatar to work properly.

Here are some examples of auto generated avatars:
