Nothing much to post about since my last one, haven’t done anything exciting lately. Just been working, and continuing with Call of Duty 4:Modern Warfare.

Speaking about COD4:MW, anyone see the Call of Duty 5:World at War trailer? Looks pretty good, though I am not convinced it will top COD4, I think the downfall could be that it’s going back to WWII, we shall see.

Oh, I recorded myself playing COD4 if anyone is interested…

…watch them in high quality.

I record them using the Dazzle, but now I have a new TV with HD, so the PS3 is using the HDMI cable, which the Dazzle doesn’t support (HD). I setup the Dazzle and switch it to composite, the picture was horrible, lol.

Don’t do any programming outside of work at the moment, though I still have my framework I need to continue, haven’t forgotten about that. Most of the time I come home and just relax in front of the TV, no more running big forums, or do any programming for anyone else.

If you are bored, have a browse through this website of fail pictures and videos, some of them are really funny…

Wow, think of the time this took, awesome stuff…

Last month, me and some of the lads went to Amsterdam. Overall it was good, though very busy, lots of people on bikes.

Most people think of sex and drugs when they hear “Amsterdam”, but I can tell you there is a lot more than that, lots of things to do while there.

On the first night, we went to the Sports Bar for a meal, and to watch the England match, it was good, even though I got bored of the match. I didn’t mind the first half, but after that I had enough. After the match, we decided to take a walk, I think it was around 11:00PM, and we were close to the Red Light District. One of the annoying things of being out that late, is the drug dealers whole keep asking you if you want any, most of them back off once you tell them, but some are quite persistent, so you have to be more aggressive towards them. Good thing is we were all walking together in a group, once they saw that, they backed away.

Red Light District was cool, we had a look (come on, who wouldn’t?) to see what it was all about, young girls in little clothing trying to entice you in with there seductive methods. Some of them were really young though, they only looked about 16 / 17, shame really.

Most of our time was spent going for food, looking around shops, going for more food, and going to a few clubs.

If you haven’t been yet, then I highly recommend it, it’s a good experience.

I have some pictures, I kinda of went click happy, just taking things of whatever I saw.

Today I was involved in Dragon Boat racing at Oulton Broad. The weather couldn’t have been any better, it was sunny and hot, I got sun burnt. I was in 3 races in total, our first race wasn’t great, we got off to a bad start due to not hearing the person on the mic telling us to go. On the second race, we done alot better, it helped with the person at the back giving us some decent tips, as most of us have never done it before.

But yes, it’s been a great day, am rather tired now. I have uploaded some pictures to flickr…

Also, while walking through the park on my way home, I came across a Squirrel…

Nothing new really, I don’t spend a lot of time on the internet now, usually spend my free time playing COD4, or doing stuff with my nephews.

I bought GTA the other day, it’s pretty good, though COD4 wins still, lol.

On a programming note, I haven’t touched any personal projects for a long time, considering I do programming as my job, it’s nice to come home and relax, however I still have a personal project that I have picked at now and again, which is my own personal framework. It’s far from complete, but at it’s current state, it is usable.

Soon I hope to be making a new site for a bunch of friends, this site will likely become quite popular if it all works out as I expect. Will post more on that once I finalise the details.

Yesterday I bought Rainbow 6 Vegas 2 for the PS3, hoping it would give my the enjoyment of Call of Duty 4:Modern Warfare.

I started out with the Single player, played it for a couple of hours, which was a good sign already, because the last 2 games I bought have a combined play time of less than an hour, lol. Can’t really compare RB6V2 with COD4:MW as they are quite a bit different. RB6V2 is far more tactical, it has a very cool cover system where you can lean up against walls, boxes etc, and peak round the corners. COD4:MW is all about guns blazing, not so much tactical involved, though some modes can require tactics, all depends on your team I suppose.

I was a little disappointed with some of the graphics in RB6V2, though nothing that really puts me off, just could have done with some finer details in places.

The biggest let down for me; online play (aka multi-player). For the few games I played, it was extremely laggy, slow. It was hard using the cover system due to the lag, and most of my deaths were due to grenades being chucked left, right, and center. Maybe I caught it at a busy time, so I may give it another go after I have finished the single player. Something I did like was the way you can select which map you want to play, if only this was an option in COD4:MW.

Also, for both single and multi-player, is it not possible to cook your grenades? If not, then that is another let down for me

For me it doesn’t come close to COD4, but it does give me some enjoyment compared to Medal of Honour: Airborne, and Unreal Tournament III.

Anyone else got this game? What are your thoughts?

Seems that newest release of Safari fails the acid 2 test.

When you run the test, it seems there is no problem, you get the smiley face rendered correctly…

…but if you refresh the page…

Bug report

Are you struggling to understand Javascript Prototypal Inheritance?

Andrea Giammarchi has written an article covering different aspects of it.

Contents

• Summary
• Object
• prototype basis
• Object.prototype … forbidden?!
• Classes and classical inheritance basis
• A better classical inheritance with an intermediate constructor
• Never forget the constructor property!
• Privileged properties and methods
• Private methods
• Private properties
• Protected properties and methods
• Anonymous instance as prototype
• Native constructors exception
• Classical inheritance patterns
• A better extend function proposal
• Some post it

I haven’t had time to read through it yet, but am pretty sure it will be a good read, there are lots of example snippets for you to look at to get a better understanding of the topic.
