Facebook, the social network that everyone seems to be a part of, but oh so many scams on these new groups and fan pages that seem to be emerging, groups and fan pages are a great thing, but they seem to be over populating facebook. Now on my Facebook home screen, all I see is “so and so became a fan of…” etc. There seem to be some new ones where you have to click “become a fan” to see an image, it’s just a ploy to get fans. I don’t know why people have a crave to get as many fans as possible – it’s not even as if it matters!

I for one am fed up of Facebook, I’m not saying that I’m going to migrate to Myspace or Bebo, but it’s got so many bugs and errors it’s unbelievable. Sometimes when I try to post a status, it will say Network error, General error, or Oops something went wrong. Sometimes photo albums don’t work, sometimes I’ll “like” someones status, and it won’t work – it’s getting annoying, you know…

Just thought I’d show off something I made. This is a skin for the Nintendo DS to be used on either the Edge DS or CycloDS Evolution flash carts. This isn’t a post about flashcarts, so I will not go into epic detail about them. Flashcarts are often used for running homebrew games and apps that range from Moonshell (a music and video player for the DS) to even instant messaging clients, like BeUp. Backups can also be played on a flashcart. (we do not condone piracy)

But anyway, here is the skin below! Others may soon be available eventually.

I’m currently listening to an album by the Album Leaf called “In a safe place”. This music is quite amazing actually, it’s what I like – Post Rock. You may have seen a previous review of mine on a Red Sparowes album. Again, if you don’t know what Post Rock is, it’s deep bass, violins, cellos, sometimes heavy guitar and melodic solos, piano, sometimes vocals and it for sure has a lot of emotion. This particular album features Jónsi, the vocalist from the Icelandic post rock band Sigur Rós, his high and smooth vocals are so unique, you wouldn’t find them in any other music.

This album is a compilation of 10 tracks, all different. My personal favourites are Over the Pond and Twenty Two Fourteen. It’s quite indescribable how much power Twenty Two Fourteen has, it doesn’t make me feel sad, but it has the power to make me feel like I want to cry, it’s odd. This music just makes me think about my life and how it is, just puts me in a weird mood where all I want to do is describe things and write. This bands music has been beautifully organised and structured, put together so perfectly and carefully, it’s just a sweet, sweet sound to my ears, a sound that could not be achieved with any other music. Others may describe this music as boring and lifeless, but to me it’s the complete opposite.

Aims. Aims are a good thing to have, but whether you have the motivation to achieve your aims, is the problem. Motivation is a rare thing in your standard person, if we’re honest, we can say that probably over 50% of people are very lazy. If you’re like me, you say you really want to do something – but never get around to doing it. I’ve got some aims for my life, and this year, that I’d love to achieve, but then as I said, whether I have the motivation to try and get these aims, is a different matter. There are things that can motivate us to achieve them, such as chocolate, coffee, people motivating us, telling us that we’re doing well and that we shouldn’t give up on life and people and go to our lonely computer desk for the rest of our teenage years, etc.

Famous people such as Hitler had aims, his aims not being the best of all aims… But, he achieved his aims (even if it was for the worse…) So, my aims for 2010 are: Read the rest of this entry »

Well, first of all, the most obvious difference is the theme. I completely redesigned our theme, so that it’s easier to navigate, and easier on the eyes. What do you guys think? I love how it turned out Also, I plan on giving users a drop down menu so they can pick and choose which theme of DigiMantis to view. Having that said, if that plan goes through, I will create yet another theme.

As far as other changes, instead of a live chat based on IRC, we now have a live AJAX shoutbox. Our new shoutbox will refresh itself as messages are received from users, so you don’t have to refresh the page just to check if anyone replied. Good stuff right? Well, I’m not done.

I just wanted to announce the writing of a new album by myself. This album has actually been a thought in my mind for quite a long time now. Infact, ever since I started making music, back when I was about 14. The title of this album will be called ‘The Fury’, as the title says. This will be my first full Metal project, and the first time I actually make an attempt to fully express myself to the world. A nice big middle finger, as I like to call it.

This project will contain 12 tracks, brand new artwork and promo pictures made by myself. Major influence in both lyrical content and music from bands such as Lamb Of God, The Black Dahlia Murder, Mors Principium Est, and Soilwork. This is going to be the most aggressive effort as a musical opus I’ve ever done. Be ready for a very intense piece, as I plan to make the entire concepts and quality of the album to the fullest. There aren’t many details I can release right now, but I am currently in the process of writing both the music and the lyrics for the album at the moment, alongside of other projects as well, like the THL soundtrack.
