Demo chiptune (Demo-tron 01000001)

   Demo-tron 01000001 is another chiptune song by me. It isn't much as it's just a demo chiptune song. Experimenting and constantly developing my style. Haven't found one yet. All constructive criticism welcome.




Free MP3 is available to download here.

Chiptuning (SkyNorth Bay)

    Hey everybody. Lately, I've been experimenting with FamiTracker (available for free  here). This porgram can create chiptune music that was native to the NES and Famicom. I'm a fan of chiptune and old school games (even though I wasn't even born then). What made old school games awesome was the old graphics, gameplay, extreme difficulty and the chiptune music. Back then, gamers had to replay levels over and over again in frustration because of the game's difficulty. But now, if you can't pass a level, just look up a cheat on the Internet. God. Gamers are lazy nowadays. Man up and beat it yourself!

     Okay, back to the main story. The end result of my experimentation is this. SkyNorth Bay. My own personal chiptune. It's okay by beginner standards and I'm hoping to increase my skill top produce music as awesome as the Megaman franchise or Castlevania. *death sound in Castlevania*



    Also, this song is available to download for free. Link is here. Comments on the song would be helpful. Enjoy.

    Lately I've been busy. Yes. Very busy. So busy that breathing has become a difficult task to complete. I've coded a program in Javascript to remind me to inhale and exhale.

     I'm kidding. Sort of. Actually, I have been a bit busy but the reason why I haven't updated in a while is because I'm lazy. So what? You guys aren't paying me money anyway. I'm just joking. Don't take that seriously xD. So, lately I've been occupying myself with learning HTML, CSS, Javascript and PHP. Yeah, I figured that being a web designer would be a pretty cool to thing. I've even got myself some free hosting. I'm finished with HTML and CSS and now I'm gonna learn Javascript

     If you're wondering what's up with all the artwork I'm posting, this is my own little project. I'm tasking myself with drawing/colouring a piece of art everyday for 30 days this school holiday. I've got free time, so why not?

Thinking Of Home

Ants On A Wire

     Many of us do indeed hectic lives. Whether it's adults or kids, or even babies (yes, babies live hectic lives too. Don't you know that they need to keep a schedule so they can cry and sleep on time? lol jk). But haven't you at least tried to stop for a moment a marvel at the world we live in? I did. At school (couple of weeks a go). During an exam. AND IT WAS AWESOME!

    Exams can be quite stressing especially when it decides your fate to be in which class the following year. Even so, some of the questions in the test messes with your thinking! Typical situation is: You read a question. Seems easy enough. You answer C. But when you read that question again. You realise that your answer might be wrong. You pick B. You reread the question. You change to A. There you go. You are now officially confused.

    Okay, back to the point. I was busy answering questions in the exam and was busy remembering the facts that the teacher had taught us. Lots of hard questions. It was during a particular question that I finally popped. Damn questions with their "looks easy" approach but with their "WTF, this is the answer?!" answer. I decided to have a look at the outside world. I was situated beside a window so I had  a good view, kinda, the view was blocked by another school building.

    It was then I noticed something crawling on a wire (maybe the P.A system wire, idk). There were alot of those "things".

     After taking a hard look, I realised what exactly they were. Ants. Fire ants craling on a wire! (heh, FireWire)

    Their movement was certainly psychedelic. It hypnotizes you. It's hard to explain. I need an animation. Here look:

    I could watch that all day. The ants stop when they collide with each other for a couple of seconds. I wondered what they could be doing. Travelling from their nest to a food source? The wire looked like a highway for ants, minus the horrific accidents. The ants have courtesy to stop when they bump into another friend. Better than most humans.

    So, watching the ants in their daily commute made my day. I continued to watch the ants during every other exam paper after that. If I ran into a hard question, I relaxed by watching the ants.

    Thank you ants.



 On an unrelated topic, the ants animation I uploaded here was supposed to be a flash animation at first. Yeah. With the loading screen and play button. But I can't seem to find a good .SWF host anywhere that has direct linking. I got sick of a goose chase and published the flash file as a .GIF. Doesn't look as cool but hey, atlest you can watch psychedelic ant action all day long! And I also updated the blog's logo. Spent almost an hour using Photoshop.

New territory.........wut?

     Hey all, been a while since I updated my blog. Time to update on the latest events. But first........

End-Year Exams Are Over!

BUT WAIT!

What?

PMR is next year.

   Ok, that was a downer. But no worries. Studying is the answer. I hope so.

   In other news. For the school holidays, I'm staying with my grandparents. Why? Well, my mom & dad will be performing the pilgrimage this year. So until the 20th of December, I'm gonna be living with my grandparents. So far so good. Got together some stuff and relocated into a new room. I even brought my PC (Sweeeet!) and installed broadband (Double Sweeeet!). Heh, internet here is quite fast. Bought the 1Mbps package and I'm experiencing 1.8 Mbps speeds (Triple Sweeeet!).

   BUT, I'm more of a city type of person. So being here is awesome. Hopefully, I will still be alive until the day my parents come home. As the oldest, I have to take care of my siblings. Insyaallah, it's gonna be fine.

   Still having problems procrastinating. I went to Unversal Studios Singapore (Take that budak kem! (Insider joke))  on the 30th and I still haven't uploaded the pics. Damn. Ok, nothing else to say. Hopefully, I will update again. Stay frosty.
