Add a favicon to your blogger

2008-07-15T22:38:00.007+08:00

A favicon is a small image that's displayed next to a URL in the address bar of your browser. Adding a favicon to your blogger is simple and here's how I got mine:

Go to http://www.iconj.com/icon_generator.php and upload the image you want to use as your favicon (only GIF, PNG, JPG, BMP, ICO, and TIFF file extensions are accepted and should be less then 1MB). After uploading, you could either download the .ico file and upload it to a website that offers .ico image- hosting or you can use the direct link option (iconj.com will host it for you).

Then log in to your blogger account, go to edit html under the layout tab and paste the link under this tag:

Save template and your done. By the way always save a copy of your template before editing it.

There you go, next time I'll be teaching you how to use dragon scales in curing asthma

Lineage II - SEA double xp

2008-07-15T05:57:00.004+08:00

Lineage II - South East Asia has launched double xp, sp, and drop rate on its servers last July 1, 2008. Not just that, they've also announced triple xp, sp, and drop rate events during weekends of July and August.

Good marketing strategy on the part of L2-SEA, but is it a sign that they're not getting enough subscribers as expected to give out such bargain? Or probably just using increased xp/sp/drop to lure new players as they are introducing a new server called Cadmus? What's next? Change from p2p (pay to play) to free to play? LOL.

I must admit I was dying to play this game when it launched open beta in South East Asia. But after a week of grinding boredom got the best of me. But this enhanced xp and stuff is really tempting. Oh well, got my hands full at the moment so not now I guess.

Btw, p2p MMORPG's aren't that bad. In my experience they're even much cheaper compared to some f2p's (that's if you're willing to shell out some cash to get premiums etc).

Your first 7 days in Lineage II- SEA is free and it's always nice to try new things (esp when free lol) so check it out.

This version marks the first official simultaneous multi-lingual release. The first round of translated languages includes Russian, Korean and Chinese. More will be added over time. I'd like to thank Danat and DonTomaso for their dedication and support to this project. This would not have been possible without their contributions. Thanks to the following translators for their work as well: Aschen, Heintje, Etc., RiiNoA, zhangx05053, Sodoes, NightMare, Attly, c.lucifer, Orange_soso, Kua, Kaka, Sprite93, Danat, Vizakenjack, Lego-, Magot, PeaceHeaver, ill-Lich, Kariy, ptizza, Vanger, John Doe, CuPaKy3, Johny

The main feature of these translations, aside from being translated of course, is that the maps are compatible with each other. That means, I can have only the English version on my computer and then join a game where the host is using the Russian map without needing to download it. The Russian players will see the language of the map they downloaded, and I will see my own language. The core game code is what is used to authenticate the map as official and the strings are externalized from this. The same is true for replays. You can watch any 6.53 replay, regardless of the original language, using only your one map. This will make sharing replays worldwide a seamless process.
