I just found out when Nokia’s PC Suite notified me with an update of their software. Nokia made the new firmware available couple of weeks ago and is only available for the European and Asian version of the N95.

The new Nokia N95 firmware update version 21.0.016 is ready to download (around 118mb) and install with Nokia Software Update utility. You can also visit the nearest Nokia Service center to request for an upgrade if you’re not comfortable on updating your phone on your own.

Demonoid is back after almost 6 months of being offline because of a problem which started June of last year . Last February, reports about the Demonoid tracker being moved to Ukraine created speculations about the return of the popular private BitTorrent tracker.

With its resurrection, Deimos, the former administrator, left the Demonoid staff because of person reasons.

Welcome back!

Since a few months ago, Deimos, the site administrator, lacks the necessary time to take care of the website, because of personal matters he’s been needing to attend to. For this reason, he has decided to leave the site staff.

Before leaving, he assigned a new site administrator from among his friends to take care of the site. The old moderator team will continue helping with the site, unchanged. We will try to keep running everything just as it always has been.

The trackers and website seem to be working properly, and should any issues arise, they will be taken care of as soon as possible. The site might be going on and offline over the next days as we work out any problems.

Welcome back, and enjoy your stay!

My brother sent me these video clips and I don’t even have an idea what it was as first. I though it was one of those blooper videos being forwarded by people through email. So what is it?

Dead Fantasy is a fan made masterpiece of Monty Oum, a short action pack video combining characters mainly from Final Fantasy and Dead or Alive. This guy is one very talented animator in my opinion. From what I’ve seen, this is one of the best video clip I have ever seen considering that its a fan made video.

Converting a file like an mpeg video to a quicktime file can be a pain specially if you don’t have the proper software to do the task. Normally you have to download one, or two, sometimes three utilities just to convert a file to a format you like.  If only we can avoid this hassle just to convert a file to a different format.

After hours of testing on an offline version of my blog, I have finally decided to upgrade to Wordpress 2.5. As I expected, there were no compatibility issues encountered with the theme just like on the test blog.

More than 90% of the plugins worked perfectly after the upgrade and only the AdSense Manager and Live plugins have issues with this new version of Wordpress. Hopefully, an update will fix these issues.

So far, I’m pretty impressed with this new version. Overall, I like the fresh new look and feel of the Dashboard. Colors are cool to the eyes and navigation is much better compared to the previous version. I’m also happy with the one click plugin feature, it just makes maintaining your plugins up-to-date easier and almost hassle free.
