Time well spent
I posted yesterday that I must start reading the book "HTML Utopia: Designing Without Tables Using CSS". Well I did not start reading the book today but I did get something done in the way of getting back into web design. I first spent some time playing "Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords" on my PSP, well take that back I spent a lot of time playing. Between puttering around and doing this and that around the house I played the game on and off all afternoon and evening. It is a great game and very addicting, I might just write up a review of the game at some future date but if you want to find out about it just Google "Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords" and you will find plenty of info about the game. In a nutshell it's a clone of Bejeweled and an RPG mix, you move through the story and get your quests then battle it out with different enemies by playing a game similar to Bejeweled it's great and is available for just about every platform there is I have it for the PSP and it is also available for the DS, X-Box, PS2, PC, Mac and will be ported to PS3 soon. Anyway when I was not playing this game I was making some different Puzzle Quest wallpapers for the PSP using GIMP which is an Open Source image editing program for Linux and there is also a Windows version. It is free and is similar to Photoshop so check it out if you want to edit like the pro's without paying a few hundred bucks for Photoshop, or using a pirated copy. So I did get something accomplished in the way of getting back into web design, I worked on some graphics. I did about 6 different versions of the wallpaper but I like the plain one the best and am using it on my PSP. You can download it below if you like it. So as long as I can do a little something every day that will get me back coding html, css, xhtml and using GIMP to do graphics I feel that I did have some time well spent.
