Friday, 22 August 2008 13:40 by Frimbob

I have just Completed my First week, at FDS(Family Development Services), they are a charity which provided help to children with learning disabilities. This is all part of a work-placement program offered by UWS as part of my Degree

They current have 2 web-sites a older Geocities page at here and a newer .au domain at http://www.fdsinc.org.au/.

They have request me to develop a new professional web-site. Which will make for an interesting few months.

My quick plan is to encourage them away from the static pages an other a CMS, the existing backbend is php so it looks like Joomla is a good candidate.

I have am going to give a presentation on there options on Wednesday 27th August. I still need to develop a budget and write some points down. I have a working Joomla on my laptop I will show them how easy it is to add and manage content.

I also have an essay due on Tuesday that same week, I am halfway through, I might have to take the option for a third week to finish it properly. Especially considering the crappy way I feel at the moment.

I wrote some user profiles for FDS this week here's a copy :-)

Got A Good New Game

Saturday, 16 August 2008 12:41 by frimbob

After the announcement of Diablo 3 by blizzard, I was in need of an action RPG fix and after some search of the Daibli3 boards I found Titan Quest

From the Developer Web-site:

From the co-creator of Age of Empires, Brian Sullivan, comes an all-new action role-playing game set in the mythical worlds of ancient Greece and Egypt. Amazing visuals and fast-action gameplay deliver a true cinematic gaming experience. Lush ancient world settings crafted in near-photo realistic detail provide the player with an extraordinary canvas on which to set forth on an epic quest of the ultimate good versus evil.

Brave the trials of Titan Quest alone or bring a group of friends to share the glory while playing through the thrilling story-driven campaign.

Journey to fabled locations such as the Parthenon, the maze at Knossos, the Great Pyramids, and the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. Overcome terrifying monsters and mythical beasts. A streaming, seamless world awaits, with over a thousand pieces of unique and legendary equipment to outfit your character.
A flexible class system allows almost limitless ways for the player to develop their character.

Skills can be customized and never become obsolete. With addictive, fast action gameplay and tons of unique loot, epic gaming has never been so good.

Let just say that I was very impressed. I was having so much fun that I bought the X-Pac Immortal Throne for 34.00 a couple of days after.

I currently Have after two weeks

25 Champion (Nature,Warfare)
20 Hunter (Hunter)
13 Harbinger (Dream,Warfare)
18 Druid (Storm,Nature)

I found that since each level gives 3 skill points that you very quickly get a feel for the class combination, The game has 3 Acts adds a fourth with the X-pac, My highest level character is still only on mid act2.

I have add soo much fun creating characters and handing gear found around, I have not found the need to rush into the other acts.

I would recommend to any Action RPG fan that is a fan of PVE to buy this game.

PS

The best and only fan-site is found at http://www.titanquest.net/.
