I’ve got a dirty little secret. Bine, not so dirty, într-adevăr, morecreamy. Sugary. Frosty. Sprinkle-y.

Here it is: for the last year and more(computer searching reveals since January 29, 2011even before hathix.com was founded), I’ve been working nonstop on alittleweb-based adventure game. And it’s never been formally released to the public until now.

Here’s a look at the making of the game. It’s taken 16 months and over 100 hours of development.

Dacă bateria telefonului ține murind pe tine, pentru că îți petreci tot timpul jocul extrem de popular mobil Angry Birds (sau dacă ești prea ieftin pentru a cumpara Angry Birds), ar trebui să fie destul de incantati de acest târziu de dezvoltare.

Puteți juca acum Angry Birds online aici. Aici e ceea ce ai nevoie:

  1. Un browser decent (mai mult pe aceasta mai târziu)
  2. Adobe Flash (scuze, iDevice utilizatori)

Ca URL (chrome.angrybirds.com) s-ar putea sugera, Angry Birds funcționează cel mai bine în Chrome. Am incercat pe mai multe browsere și aici e ceea ce am gasit:

Firefox’s new release strategy

Back in the day (and by that I mean a week ago), new versions of Firefox were releasedwhen they were ready” – că este, when all the features they wanted to put in were in it. That’s called feature-based releases, and most developers use that strategy.

But there’s another release strategy that focuses on releasing new versions every so often. Some features might not make a version, but that’s OK; a new version is coming in x weeks so it’ll be included then. This is called fixed releases.

Căutarea pentru o pagina de start decent

I’m not sure why home pages were even invented in the first place. Adică, sure, you need a page to open when you boot up your browser, but they just make things, bine, awkward. Plus they’re not very useful: most of them just serve as a landing page; you don’t really use them except to read news about how kids can’t bring bagged lunch to school (*cough* Yahoo *cough*.) And when you do that kind of stuff, you just get distracted from what you were originally meaning to do all along.

I want to know why that is and how I can help fix it.

Firefox 4 is out

It’s been about a year in coming (it was in beta for a full year), but Firefox 4 is finally out and can be downloaded at firefox.com. The open-source web browser’s latest version is a gigantic step forward from the 3.6 version (the old stable version from a year ago, which is pitifully outdated by now.)

What’s changed

  • Firefox 4 is about 3 times faster in page loading and JavaScript performance than 3.6. This means your favorite web apps and websites areget ready for this – 3 times faster than before.
