Master!
You are a MASTER of the English language!

While your English is not exactly perfect,
you are still more grammatically correct than
just about every American. Still, there is
always room for improvement…

How grammatically sound are you?

Proving that you can do something better than somebody else is part of human’s nature. But to create a 3D shooter a-la Doom in just 96kbyte is unthinkable nowadays. But it’s true! Now where is that old floppy disk I had two years ago?

Trust me when I say: only seeing is believing. Several weapons, powerups, dynamic lightning (projectiles glow and cast shadows!), several enemies (although not too hard to destroy), sound, it is all there!

XS4all, one of the bigger Dutch ISP’s, offers users a .Text-based weblog. Since the service has just started, a lot of post are in the category “just testing” and “this is me”, but we’ll keep an eye on it. Perhaps there’s something worth mentioning.

As you might have noticed, the last posts all have been in English. I think I will keep it that way. The blog-language-setting is still “Dutch”, but that’s because I don’t like the way “English” displays the dates and times. This setting will change (so you will have English fieldcaptions) when I created my own skin that solves some of these quircks.

Speaking about skins: the b2e-skins are compliant to all sorts of standards (see bottom of the mainpage), but looking at the CSS-files and template-files (PHP) used, I can only conlude they made a mess of it. I’ll see if I can change that in my skin.
