New Module: Babelfish translation

If you don't speak english, or for whatever reason need to translate a page on my blog, look no further than my babelfish translation module, found on every page.

I think its really cool. If you want one too, you can get your own on the babelfish website.

Test post with luke's greasemonkey script

until now ive been using Zoundry to put technorati tags in my posts. But with my pod-casting and all, its just too much of a hassle to make an entry, only to have to edit it to enter the podcast stuff.

so now i am trying out Luke's solution, which is a greasemonkey script. so we will see how this works.

Luke- this isn't working for me lol. don't know if im using it wrong or what?

Potential problems with my blog and IE

After telling Joff to listen to my podcast, he told me that my blog wasn't laoding correctly. beign that he is n00b, i checked my blog in IE, and sure enough my sidebar loads above my blog content.

After fixing the layout, i didn't do much except reverse the problem. I have no idea what the problem is, so can someone help me on this. Anyways, people should be using FireFox to begin with. n00bs.

I really want to start taking HDR (High Dynamic Range) pictures. Basically you take the same pictrure 3 or more times, and throw them in a program, that takes all the colors and lights and combines them into 1 image, creating a picture with more realistic color than a single exposrue shot. the results are really gorgeous.

Podcast 0: This is only a test

Leave me Voicemail Free with Odeo! And the potential for future pod-casting


Podcasting website, Odeo has launched a great new service with which website owners (such as myself) can have visitors leave them voicemail with their computer, for free. no registration required! Sooo of course i signed up for it lol.

But what i didn't realize is that Odeo makes it so friggin easy to podcast, how can i say no? I can't. They even let you do it over the phone for free! How friggin sweet is that??? in concept yes. but a recording over the phone might turn out really poopy, so we will see how it turns out. But when it comes to free stuff like this, i can't help but try it out.

So, drop me a voicemail so i can test it out, and look for the up-coming "Matthew McCullough's Podcast". Leave me some ideas for a cool show. not just an audio blog lol.

Galbadia Hotel + Mobie17 = Crazy Delicious

You may remember me blogging about a website called mobile 17, where you can send your own songs to your phone and use the as ringtones. And you may remember one of my recent entrys about Galbadia Hotel, a website with nearly every song from every video game ever. and i think you know where this is going.

The problem with real song ringtones, is that cell phone speakers aren't meant to produce high quality music. Though i am suprised with the quality of my Razr's speakers, its still some what muffled at points. Sooo, if you figure, low-bit music would sound a whole lot more clearer on cell phone speakers, and pretty much any game from SNES, NES, Genisis, and so forth has music low-bit enough to sound really great on a cell phone ringone.

My new inbox ringtone is the bicycle music from Pokemon on the Game Boy. But i am very tempted to make another one from starfox or streetfighter or something. but i am very pleased with the cobination of both websites.

Plaxo Online

I am currently trying out something called Plaxo.

Basically, in a perfect world, E-Mail would be a 2-way street. when you have some ones info, they have yours. and when they update theirs, your address book changes. But this is not the case, and infact it can never be really, due to E-Mails universal architecture. But Plaxo hopes to change all that. by making an account, you can link to your friends, get all of their info, share your own, and everyone stays in the loop of changes. Finally!!!

Now i just need to pressure everyone i know into making an account lmao. I sent out like 23 automated emails to people whos emails i had. lol, so don't be alarmed. and please don't dismiss it as spam, this is a really great service that will make everyones life easier. so Join up Today, and add me!

Galbadia Hotel

Galbadia Hotel is a great website, with nearly every soundtrack from every video game ever in MP3 format. And in not even exagerating, because i downloaded the Ragnarok Online Remix CD just today. also, it has a rewards refferal program to reward people for talking about the site (hint hint). the rewards range from a day, to a month of mass downloading albums. can you say SWEET?!? so hit up my refferal link so i can download way too much music.

plus, you really miss hearing the Duck Hunt soundtrack anyways, am i right?
